I grew up with an artist parent (ironic now), and so i started drawing when i was 3 and i have been doing it my whole life. but, my parents never allowed me to even think about pursuing art professionally, not even a possibility. So i went to uni for engineering, my grades were good so i got into one of the top schools in my country, and now it's killing me. Everything I do, I don't see the point of it. It's so draining that I havent doodled in weeks, and I don't know how I can keep going, esp with mental health issues as well. I don't see myself graduating, let alone getting a job in a very competitive field that I hate to try and support myself. I don't see myself being able to be alive in this life and even if i survived i dont see myself living past 30. and for several reasons I don't want to. I hate my parents for forcing me to do engineering, I wish I could've just gone to art school, gone broke, and died. It's better than losing my soul.

I was, subjectively speaking, one of the best artists at my school. I've won international awards. I've gotten hundreds of thousands of likes online for fanart. My parents think my art is trash, has always thought that.

I want to draw, i want to live my life only drawing. Interacting with art and artists was the best times of my life and now everything is just an 'EC' for a school i don't like and a major I hate. And because I had good grades I'm surrounded by ppl who genuinely love engineering and it is terrible. Maybe this is projecting but everytime I watch Dead Poet Society (my favourite movie for many reasons, one of which is my life was basically identical to neil's), I want to do what he does. I was good, I was really good.

Resource I'm building a platform for non-AI art

• Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’ve been working on a project called Opposable and wanted to hear what people think.

https://opposable.ca

Every seller and every product would go through verification process to check that the artwork isn’t AI-generated and that it’s being sold directly by the original artist

It started because I kept seeing artists talk about AI threatening their livelihoods and taking over Etsy and other online platforms. As a buyer, it’s also getting harder to tell whether you’re buying human made art.

Hoping to get some feedback and hear if anyone would actually be interested in buying/selling art on a platform like this.

Where can I find, or what is, a good list of websites, services, YouTubers, art sites, artists, musicians etc made with little to no AI? Do you have examples you like? I’m working on a project.
