I mentioned that I use AI to help me; and I use appropriate tags. I spend dozens of hours (most of my "free time" from collageper image. It would be impossible for me to draw it on my 12 year old PC pixel by pixel, so I have to scan my paper arts; than digitalize them manually. I do not have money to buy expensive equipment to draw on the screen, I can barely afford a decent mouse.  Because of this I use all available tools to speed that process up; and yes, that includes AI (mostly to upscale the image) since I do not have time to make a large image on paper at "native" resolution since that would take hundreds of hours instead of dozens. 

I also use AI to add some detail where I cant do so with my cheap pencil kit on  a small drawing or where I cant use my mouse after I digitalize the art. I try to use as little AI as possible, but I just cant spend hundreds of hours adding thousands of small details pixel by pixel; and I can not add them on paper since my paper drawings are very small (thus I upscale them after I digitalize them).

I hope people will appreciate my work, dedication and creativity but above all else enjoy it. If you personally do not like it, you have all rights to do so and to express that criticism; I just ask for it to be constructive so I can better my artwork and provide a better user experience.

I do this hobby not only because it brings me joy to create these artworks; I do it to bring joy to my audience so that they can enjoy it too. I hope you like the game and the art; thank you for your feedback.

Love you all <3!

AI images have a very bad rep for a very good reason in my opinion. I do not think I can easily be swayed on this issue.

HOWEVER, that does not mean I think less of you. What I can understand is that AI art has horrible rep because there is just so much slop generated from it. The worst part of that is the said slop is posted carelessly all over social media, purely for engagement farming.

It sounds like you hand-draw your art but, then use AI to upscale it. If that is the case just skip the upscaling part. put out whatever you think your best work is.

I get why AI has a bad rep; I agree that it is unfortunately used to make the dead internet theory more true every day. Having said that, it does not mean it, like every other tool, can not be used for both good and bad. It is truly unfortunate that people have chose to use AI to make the internet a worse place; we should be mad at those people, not the tool they use. 

As for my usage,
I upscale and edit my images with AI because it saves me a TON of time; time I do not have. And I have to do it in order to make my art presentable and worth my audience in my eyes. The art that I draw is too low res and low detail to fill up a native HD, let alone 2K or 4K screen and still be presentable; and I just do not have the time to draw them in native resolution. Maybe when I get to make some other games where I do not need the art to be this high res, I would put out the original art with zero digital editing.  Or maybe when I get enough money to make a digital drawing setup to speed up the process; but until than I am forced by my time and money constraint to resort to using whatever is available to me.

And I am very thankful for your feedback. I will try my best to please as much of my audience as possible. Love is all I want to spread!
