So, even though it's not that important to explain my absence or inactivity at times. I actually have something to talk about. As of late, I have not been as inspired to do any renderings. That comes from a lot of various reasons. My biggest gripe right now is the increase in AI Generated imagery, it makes one weary to put the work out there. Another gripe is that in the long run, all my models end up looking more or less the same. Similar poses and specific body types. Now, I'm not saying that I don't necessarily have a type, but it does get kind of repetitive when looking at anything I create. It loses a feeling, I suppose. As of late as well, my laptop has been acting a bit strange, with random shutdowns and restarts, and believe me, I've done everything in the book to rectify it! And still a random bsod. I also have not just been feeling like myself lately. Partially, I blame that on work stress, but que sera sera as they say. I manage in the best way possible, the most harmless way possible, through movement and dance. Well, that was just a little insight. I may have something in the near distant future. But for now, to all followers, artists, and fellow hobbyists out there, keep doing you, being the best you can. Keep fighting the Ai enthusiasts, stay true to your own works, and most of all, if you feel down or like you have fallen, pick yourself back up and keep pushing. It gets easier with every lesson and moment of growth. Happy days, happy trails, happy new year, happy holidays, and whatever else. Nightwatch1988, Nate
