I drew this in March 2020, and looking at it now it really has that vibe to me. Maybe this is one I will revisit on canvas.
In a world when AI just puts many legs on things because it doesn't understand what legs are, I'm not sure how this reads now. When I was processing the pandemic, it felt like I did not have enough hands to hold my burdens, and it translated well to this entity needing many talons to hold onto peace while in a solemn search for hope.
I feel like this is why it's important to have spaces where artists can give context to their work and design choices. Learning your reasoning behind the multiple legs makes so much sense and adds more to the piece.
It has that "human intent and purpose" that comes from your creative spirit whereas AI art does not (and will never) have the capability to have that kind of intent no matter how many prompts or stolen work are fed into a program.
I don't think you should allow AI art and it's nonsense/error of multiple limbs and appendages to deter you from making that stylistic choice in your own work. 💖💖
This is so kind of you to take the time to say, thank you. I will keep this in my heart as explore the next chapter of my work 🙂
I love the story behind this, it makes it very personal (while being super relatable, hooray for feeling overwhelmed and helpless during a global pandemic...)
It has been strange times to live through collectively, but at least I can share these feelings with others and find common ground. Thanks for looking!
