Starter Pack

I know I'm late for the Starter Pack trend, but I had to participate and support my fellow artists who fight against AI in art. Instead of using AI like others, they created their "starter packs" using their own artistic skills, so this is my try. I believe AI could be helpful in many other areas, just leave art alone. 😡

I consider myself a self-taught digital artist, and I've been using Clip Studio Paint for several years now to create illustrations of everything that seems interesting, from superheroes and other pop culture references to personal projects.

As for my looks in this drawing, I usually have a beard, but I often change my style and appearance (at the moment I'm letting my hair grow and I have a moustache). I often wear hats and clip-on sunglasses. I rarely leave the house without a bag because there are too many essentials and not enough pockets. 😄

As you can also see in this drawing, I often carry a drawing tablet, a sketchbook, and an MP3 player with standard wired earphones (not that novelty wireless earbuds) - not just to save my phone's battery life, but also because of nostalgia. ☺️ I don't believe that everything that's momentarily trending should be used just because it's available - and as I already said, that also includes AI, especially in art where it definitely doesn't belong. And please, let's replace the term "AI artist" with "AI manipulator." It's more accurate. 😉
