## Caption

When I was in high school, I thought I might want to be an artist. But I got scared off, cuz every single one of my Atelier-trained neoclassist teachers kept telling me "Realism is king" and I didn't like that. I liked ANIME. I liked Video Games! Well. Now I regret not learning more about realism, life drawing, and the elements of art and animation. So here's all the things they told me I SHOULD learn that I didn't learn about art!

*** Disclaimer: If you are gonna try to evangelize Generative AI in the comments, don't. This whole video is about how I regret taking shortcuts. AI is the shortcut of all shortcuts. But while there may be shortcuts from 0 to mediocrity, there is no shortcut to excellence.

Wishlist my game that en route to excellence (lol):
-- ALL THE PROMISED BURN --
The hand-drawn knowledge RPG where the more you learn, the more your world and your heart open!
