The "first" medium that I can as a child or "adult" TBH it'd been so long. I'm curious what my first actual piece was. As a child I painted on premade clay pieced, finger painted to create artwork and of course my crowning achievement that got recognized in about first grade was a felt clown with a flower that shot water it was all 2D cutouts yet the teacher was so impressed it was put up for a class exhibit. As I grew my parents found outside classes so I could learn to paint and use acrylics. We had images as references and I still love the feeling of cleaning brushes its a dirty job yet the paint is so squishy. When I got to high school all I wanted to do was take photographs and was so lucky to be in the age of the darkroom era.

For my AI, digital paintings, photography or other?

Since I tend to do AI it's more when the mood strikes to switch things up or I acquire more materials I want to play with. Painting and charcol takes the most prep work and thought behind when and where.

Continue to create and practice every day. We are all artists since we create in every breath we take. Test out different waters and be able to remember to always hold onto the sense of play.

Learning how to manipulate the prompts especially when I constantly hit roadblocks with Dalle GPT 4o+ which is my main go-to these days; it's learning how to trick them into utilizing the prompt and working hard to keep it as close as possible. Sometimes it takes one go others it will be multiple generations. Using outside programs like Photoshop for fixing the miner stuff yet when it comes to faces I learned early on that a good one can make the image and you work outwards from there. I am 10000% a maximalist and even in my IRL images there is so much going on in each piece from the detailing that I try to have that inside my AI as well giving it more of my personal touch. I have been so lucky to have been in on these technologies for over 3+ years and have grown my experience alongside their changing code.

Marketing is more of my challenge than creating the artwork itself. When it comes to making art and getting blocked I have so many outlets from asking friends and fellow creators to revisiting my old prompts. I even go to EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) Tapping and Meditation if needed as well. Or I will pick up the tool in my other hand and continue to see if a change in perspective can shed new light on the situation.

Unless I create characters esp for my D&D|RPG obsession or more things from life that I have a way or end goal I tend to go with the flow. If you see most of my artwork I have been minting all month I have the concepts in my mind and text if I want it for the AI to generate or I hope for spaces to write in the words. I become an itteration and generation machine until I come accross that eureka moment and find that piece to spark the story.
