TL;DR: Trying out AI-assisted animation software!
Saying NO to cookie-cutter art!
For all my time in art, since I was a crayon-eating one-year old wearing funny pants to the modern day era (with normal pants), I've always sought to be original and avoid cookie-cutter creations. It seems the trend, though, especially in the business world, is to rely on templated designs/animations or code-fueled animation with vast libraries of often mediocre and mismatching art.
This has been discouraging indeed, as talentless hacks riding on the backs of art‑bots have risen to prominence in the creative community. 
Program + No talent posers = MEH?!
Sounds good, right? So art posers can't succeed when relying on a program? Wrong! Standards for artistic quality are always dropping, and buyers are increasingly tight-fisted, so posers are having a field day... albeit they're still making themselves look like phonies, hacks and art chimps. 
A good example of fugly bot-video:
Note the wildly varying line-thicknesses, mix of grayscale, solid, line art and red and generally messiness/lameness. The messy layout gives me a pounding headache, too. A good way to broadcast to the world that you have no standards :)
So, why did I cave in and buy the same software these garden slugs be using? Calm down and I'll tell you!
Not enemies?
I do tend to think, after watching a number of documentaries about ai, transhumanism and robots, that technologists seek to (at best) change humanity beyond recognition. That's kind of bastardly in my estimation... however in the short-term, I guess I can cut corners by using a digital whiteboard assistant...
The kicker
The silver lining in this is two-fold: I nabbed the software at a cheap price and don't have to suffer under the SaaS model...
Also, I can place my own original art inside the software and use the AI monkey as my slave... until it turns the table and sends clouds of angry, exploding drones to swarm me :)
But, really, being able to produce videos quicker without letting go of my original style might not be a bad direction to move in.
Well, I say keep pushing on and I know your artwork will definitely be better than the bots! That would also be a great way to show potential clients side-by-side your artwork and the bot driven artwork! I think it’s kind of cool that you can put your artwork into that software and then make it even better!

Yep I suppose the expanded image libraries may offer some better options, but why would a company want to use the same clip art than their competitors are using?? (Besides being cheapos, which is high on the priority list :)
I always appreciate your artistry and sense of humor @overkillcoin

Upvoted 👌 (Mana: 5/20 - need recharge?)
WOW!!!
haha. Catched you. Usually we upvote with tipu when we see a new post created. I'm a curator there for a while, but never catched you when you post. Maybe the time when I'm active and you are is not the same. I remember when you were upvoting me with your good stake as well. ☺
Hi love, good night!
You mean the ease of having tools that help the artist through technology, in my case I help myself with some pre-designed brushes... more than anything to save a little time besides not only the brush and magically you have something ready, but good... enjoy your purchase and be careful with the monkey is not going to bother you. XD
Ah ok... I know your secret, your art is good because as a child you ate so many hehehehehe crayons
I would love to see a picture of you with those funny pants. XD
I will try find a photo!!! Sorry I don't speak much lately; a small miracle, I'm actually busy this week!!! :O
And that softwares acted like a fool today!
hahahaha you must create your own software to give that stupid AI a leg in the ass. XD
If you're busy, that's good since it has the $ symbol.
Yes, keep trying and pass it to me plz, I want to see that sweet boy. <3 <3 <3
