And there I was thinking all the vacancies were from people refusing to get vaccinated and everyone left behind getting burned out from the extra workload XD
I suppose all the reasons @aussieninja mentioned are valid too ;D
We each build our world view through a whole lot of factors, but when people believe differently to us and even if it is working for them positively, we see it as wrong. How come it is so difficult for us to admit that the way we do things is not necessarily the best way to do it and then change to something that could work better?
Some egos require external validation and are apparently completely incapable of nuance and anything that isn't giving them that has to be wrong because the other option is they might be wrong and that absolutely cannot under any circumstances be an option.
Amusingly I always thought it was a "better" idea to watch what worked for other people and see if their processes were stealable (as in if it looks like it would work for you "steal" it and try it out) but apparently this is also something that shouldn't be done because get your own ideas/somehow be your own person, if you copy others you don't have an original bone in your body and deserve contempt? I donno with some people XD
creatives tend to be very poor consumers
Why you gotta call me out like that XD
I actually feel terrible about that, because I want to comment on all the things, but sometimes have to choose between commenting on all the things or making things x_x do you find that yourself? Or is that why you don't sleep either? :D
And this i s not even counting the number of professionals and other such smart people that insist that creators need to consume widely to learn and gain inspiration (I don't need inspiration, there's too much going on in my head, learning is always good though). I don't know how or where they find the time x_x
Only in WA ;D
If what I am doing is wrong, why did it feel right while doing it?
Stealing is okay to build a base from, isn't it? Once the knowledge is paired with skill, then development is far easier. As long as not getting stuck in repetition :)
They don't find the time - they write books telling other people to. Most artists (of many kinds) I know are far too busy doing what they do, to spend their time consuming. Often, their houses are a bit of a mess and falling apart too, because fixing it takes time, but doesn't add to their creative process :D
Depends on what you're stealing. Processes? I reckon go nuts, experiment, find out what works for you. Styles? Usually helps in learning. Other people's stuff passing off as your own? Well you deserve whatever negative things happen as a result then.
[slinks away guiltily]
Burn them at the stake!!
I am not a creative - just lazy. :D
Disagree dude! Only a creative person could pump out as many thought-provoking posts as you do.
