Notre Dame in recovery

Do you prefer architecture or natural sites?

Well, I don't see a variance. No human made home is outside nature, while nature is always an element at the heart of any human home.... I will keep my reply brief because I am a long admirer of architecture/landscaping. I will say this I have a strong dislike of dysfunctional architecture or landscaping. I dislike it to no end.

How commonly called AI art and I stand

I will start with the pot and then do the honey,yes that is reverse.
For those that fear the writing on the wall about the ability of all to express their imagination in various forms, with ever growing precision. it is here. Not all in humanity are online or own a powerful enough computer, most don't in fact. But, for those online or who can afford, the way in which a human artist is needed is going to change, and as in all labors it will not be sheparded or guided well but will be chaotic and messy as all labor changes in the usa in particular are.
Pot closed.
Now two big drops of honey.
First, people who can have embraced these advanced computer brushes. And they are getting not just in illustrations but in literature what they want to see. The human imagination is infinite, it has not lessened and these tools will allow an expanse of imaginative displays.
Second, I talk to people in other parts of humanity, not just the usa. outside the rich parts of humanity a respect or liking for non electronic craft is strengthening so, for those who may feel like the walls of the traditional artists are closing in, i argue they are not but you need to get to the audience and in the usa or richer places in humanity, we are living at the beginning of a different taste in how art shall be consumed.
As for myself, i simply create the way i do for the reason i started when a child. I enjoy it. I have never been in competition with another artist. I simply create and use the gain in experience to learn.
As for my relationship to synthography or what I said elsewhere in these comment, work through advanced computer brushes , it is inexperienced or young. I probably will never put my own literature or illustrations into the machine to determine something new. But, using old poetry and then playing with various art styles was fun so I imagine I will do more of that with these contests in the future. But I don't know, we will see.

IN AMENDMENT
yeah and that is why in my entry i had the gif style. To show people how you can use literature to get some idea and then use art styles through the names of artist themselves to garner various results, some quite pretty..... I have said the following elsewhere. We already know what synthography is, it is called the holodeck. You know on the enterprise or elsewhere in the star trek universe from the next generation onward, when someone wants to relax, they go to the holodeck and say
"computer, show me a bar on earth , new orleans, in the late 1800s during carnival , filled with black pirates from tortuga in haiti from the 1600s as customers" and then the computer makes a scene the person is standing in and then they say " add a platform for a singer and make it a young ella fitzgerald supported by the louis jordan band" and then more changes,and the they say "run program" we in modernity are not there yet, but the google ai text to video is the first step there. That is all these is. It doesn't mean , ala the same show star trek, people can't do hand craft like in star trek insurrection when the people on that planet where no one ages because of the rings spend hundreds of years as apprentices learning how to sew intricately. I think people in the usa at least already know what ai art will become but it never occured to them that star trek was also right about the money working out differently. PEople in star trek do pay for holodeck programs , they are called holosuites so... even though I am a traditional artist I comprehend this tool easily. https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/1025382667/5119706605

What are your thoughts on rejection? How do you think it can help... if there is a silver lining?

happens to all artist eventually. I think rejection has different intensity levels based on who gives it. In my home, people have judged , not even, not the right color , similar. But, outside my home, in my presence, people have said , his work is crap. I have had work win entry in some things, not win entry in most. But, the key is not having a home where rejection is the standard. I think all artist eventually can climb over the bridges of rejection outside the house. But in the home, i think it is devastating to have certain kinds of rejection. I know dancers/singers who grew up with , to be blunt, rejectors in the house. I can't go into grand detail. But, my point is I don't think I will have the confidence or the patience in myself if not for the support of the home. And I have seen those who didn't have that and it can be really tough. MAgazines/publishers is one thing but the home is the worst.
