Journey To The Past: First Artwork Featuring Furukawa Chie (OC) And Toudou Heisuke That I Made In 2016;

⏳Journey to the Past: First artwork featuring Furukawa Chie (OC) and Toudou Heisuke that I made in 2016; a year before I started posting "A Friend Like You" (Hakuouki fanfic).

💡Fun Fact: Due to their similar hair color, many people thought that Heisuke's ponytail was actually Chie's and I ended up receiving multiple gift art of Chie sporting a ponytail added to her traditional hairstyle. 😂 This led me to make sure to color her hair with a different shade of brown than Heisuke's in future drawings, lol!

💡Fun Fact: While working on this ☝ my sister asked me "How is the Heisuke drawing coming along?" via text message and I replied "Amazing! 😎🎀" with this picture attached, lmao:

Bringing more old Hakuouki art! ⚔️🌸 I drew this quick portrait of Heisuke wearing his kendo uniform in 2018 and I still think it's one of my best drawings of him, haha. 💖

I'm making gifs of the Gold Saucer arrival and I just can't get over how Cloud focuses on Tifa in the crowd 😭

Genuinely though the speed at which I've watched "AI" erode the basic skills of my colleagues is staggering.

These are qualified, talented individuals. People I have always considered smarter and more skilled than me. People with resumes longer than my lifetime.

They can't remember how to write a formal email. They're generating their grading rubrics instead of writing out their own standards for their own class. They're getting fatigued doing thumbnail sketches, taking twice as long to get lines where they want them. And every single one is making weirder, reachier justifications for using an AI tool and getting just-ok results over using methods that have been reliable and stable since the 90's.

If you want a functional brain later you need to keep doing things the pre-AI way because if you don't use it you're gonna lose it and it'll happen FAST
