How can someone who does DREAMS .. and WALLS be twice ahead of me
Doesn't matter how many he makes, Sed...what matters (if the count is even accurate), is how many times they've been downloaded...if you think appreciation (which is what really matters) equates with some number.
Btw, while folks love to be appreciated, you create to fill a need in yourself...regardless of whether the wall/dream/WB/etc. is downloaded or not. You skin for yourself first and foremost.
I've often thought that the dl numbers should be private, if at all. Same for the ridiculous grading system.
Your art and his is largely A.I. Are we now grading software compliance as a function of the artist's intent? Does prompt formulation skill somehow translate into artistic ability in choosing hue, shade and rendering of form and concept? Are we grading some cloud server that was taught its craft by plagiarism of bits/bytes, hues, etc. from human artists or worse, grading a friend based on a machine's performance?
After all, what the heck does the dl number even mean? Comparing apples and peaches is pointless: Both are delicious in their own way.
Rant over.
