So this AI tutorial stole my reference photos 😐 I'm very liberal with the usage on my reference photos. Personal work, tracing, commercial work, free sets, no credit needed! Repacking/redistributing, however, has never been OK. It hurts to see that singular rule abused.

I made these images for artists to help them learn and elevate their artwork. Now, they are being used to devalue that pursuit to make AI images, and I'm not sure I can do anything about it. I wish I could say I was surprised, but still, it feels crappy. :(

It's amazing the power of a subtle shift in expression. The original pose reads as vulnerable and uncertain, but lifting those eyes to meet the viewer and adding wry smirk makes her read playful and coy instead. Expressions are tricky to paint, but so rewarding!

The greatest mistake of my 20s, I think, was seeking to remove all sources of discomfort in my life. It is natural and healthy to be drawn towards joy and away from pain. That biological circuitry exists for a reason. But that very circuitry also sets us up for failure 🧵1/9

@andreyu_art This one! I'm very expressive, and felt ashamed of that growing up, as media usually portrays desirable women as being pouty and foxy. I like making art that glamourises playfulness. ...Alas, some were furious at the anatomy. Even though it was based on a photo of me. x_x

With each quick hit of joy, I went back to feeling pain. The hedonic treadmill kept turning, and I felt ashamed at the eternally-shifting goal posts. I knew I had so much to be thankful for, and my pain felt ugly. I felt ungrateful and weak.

The drive towards pleasure and away from pain exists as a chemical scale (primarily dopamine) inside of us. Trouble is, that system is not objective or absolute. It is subjective. It is relative.

Approximately: the dopamine system is relative and finite, which means we face all experiences in life with the same capacity for joy and pain. Chasing better experiences can bring us joy, but it doesn't eradicate the pain. And numbing pain becomes an addiction.

We shouldn't repeatedly suffer avoidable pains, and when those hit, it makes sense to heed the lessons. But unavoidable pain is a healthy part of life. Developing a tolerance for and understanding of it has created a profound shift in my overall experience towards the positive.
