Because streaming services invest in many expensive and ambitious shows, then do little or nothing to promote them. So I take care of sci-fi lol Go watch For All Mankind, Severance, Andor, Silo, Fallout, The Expanse, Foundation, Scavengers Reign...
Draw more things you love to work with, even when it’s unpopular. Catering too much on other people and popular trends you lose lot of time and energy you could use on stuff for you and your ideas. Dare to be selfish with your art. It is yours after all.
Drawing for hours on end is not a flex :( It's not healthy and you should take appropriate breaks to stretch and move even if you're on the clock. The clock includes your breaks for care.
Non-artists: please gently let your well-intentioned niche blogger friends know that generating an AI illustration for their posts is not a harmless novelty. There are so many sources for free, eye-pleasing, not-environmentally-rapacious images. Creative Commons licenses, public domain art history.
A painting I did looks kinda good from very far away, I'm gonna take that as a win.
