The art community is a mess rn.
On one hand you have AI bros who destroyed the reputation of artists who draw in the semi realistic anime art style. (apart from…ya know..stealing art in general)
On the other hand are teenagers and young adults, on TikTok & Insta, who try to dictate if specific art styles are overrated or not. Literally making rules about ART. There’s users being bullied just because they draw a certain way???
So many things going on that completely demolishes what art is standing for. It’s hard to witness.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT SPAWNED YOUR EXISTENCE?
[ID: Two lineless, digital paintings, both with warm, dark gray backgrounds. Both canvases are shaped like exact squares.
Painting one shows an adult Bill Cipher, a bright yellow triangle with a top hat, bow tie, cane, singular eye, and long lashes, reaching out to shake hands with the Axolotl, a pink axolotl with an electric blue tail. Bill is looking at the Axolotl casually, and his outstretched hand is engulfed in blue flames, while the Axolotl is smiling at Bill gently, reaching out to take his hand. There are stylized stars, similar to sparkles, in the top right and bottom lefthand corners of the painting. The painting is textured so that you can see the gray of the canvas very faintly through the brush strokes.
Painting two consists mostly of a short passage from Edwin Abbott Abbot's Flatland, written in light gray over the dark background. The passage is the beginning of chapter 7, and reads as follows:
"7. Concerning Irregular Figures
I for my part have never known and Irregular who was not also what Nature evidently intended him to be-- a hypocrite, a misanthropist, and, up to the limits of his power, a perpetrator of all manner of mischief..."
Below the quote, near the very bottom of the page, is a tiny illustration of a very young Bill Cipher. He is drawn completely in grayscale, and is looking down at the ground angrily, fists clenched. He is wearing a pauper's cap and has bandages wrapped around his rightmost angle, which is noticeably longer and more acute than his other angles.
End ID]

Kinda experimental, There's a lot of me messing around here. It was fun, though!
Dunno why they have those fin-things, it just looks neat. Maybe it's related to the dragon's wings?

I'm backing up my google Album Archive bc apparently that service is being discontinued and I found a drawing of a little guy. It's my OC Joel :0 though, I don't remember if I finished the drawing and I don't think I've posted it anywhere. What's he looking at? What's the context? It's a mystery.
