🗑️ 🧵 raw artistic talent

there is NO substitute for raw artistic talent
we all know that guy who has a gifted imagination from the start and makes miracles on the page/screen in just a short time learning
meanwhile, you and I have to work for YEARS just to get to a below average tier piecing shit together from scratch
all the reps we do in blender is cope, all the encouragement we get is cope, we have access to endless information and tutorials with the internet that professionals 20 years ago could only dream of and yet we can't get anywhere close to their level
the truth is, if you are not artistically talented from the very START, if it doesn't just click and come to you NATURALLY, you're better off quitting now

I'm not really even worried about being a good artist.
I just need 'programmer art' so I have something to use for dev iterations.
The art side of it is fun, and I enjoy it, but I'm not going to beat myself up because I'm not a grandmaster Japanese modeler from the mid 2000s.

Talent = passion + effort
If you actually *like* doing something, then you'll more likely do it more and more often, and learn faster.
Learning fundamental artistic skills early in life helps. Having guidance from others instead of doing everything on your own helps.
Trying to learn something on a deadline or because "you have to" will lead to subpar results.
I would worry more about AI, which is basically going to destroy most creative careers.

more "sea urchin / E.T. slop". Enough already. AI is a quickly dying fad. Trillions spent, nothing to show for it except global warming
