New year, new failures! I’m on DeviantArt now for 13 years and no matter which art form I touched, I failed tremendously in it. In figure photography, in drawings and recently in 3D art, There was nothing I was able to touch people with my works. Considering  my works get between 0-2 favs, I need to ask myself if either I’m really bad in promoting things or my work itself was just bad. Probably both. And while I got used to fail over the years, even my level of self hatred has its limits and I decided to stop wasting my time with figure photography, photo manipulations and drawings as a whole. Which brings us to… The Good: Since most of my visitors are here because of my stock photos (the section in which I failed the less) you won’t be bothered by figure photography anymore and I’ll continue to provide stock photos for the same rules as before, of which there where none. Some 3D Renderings I might continue to make but since they take me at least a month to make, you shouldn’t be

My DA Account was intended to share my figure pictures with the world, the stock photo archive I have was more of a byproduct as an online storage for background pictures I can use for my figure photomanipulations. Unfortunately, the number of followers I have for my figure pics (Thanks Mom!) are way smaller than the number of people who are interested in my stock archive.

Recently I tried Instagram but that doesn't quite seem to be the platform I was looking for. It's more for images you want to browse on your mobile phone, that to view in full scale on a desktop. We'll see if find another, suitable

KI or the extinction of photography! What a sensation it was as the first chess computer Deep Blue won against Garri Kasparow back in 1997! Now it’s 2023….and our cars still don’t fly…. But it’s totally normal nowadays that computers play better chess than humans and AI pics on DA look better than a work by a human pro artist! Well….no, we aren’t quite there yet, but we’re heading in the direction quite fast when the KI might provide the better “stock photos” or “illustrations” and maybe also the better composition for images that will be sufficient for most use cases. As for the artistic value of the stock photos I made on famous places, which where shared a billion times on social media and me standing on the exact place where hoards of photography workshop attendees left the imprints of their tripos, I feel it would be hypocritical to complain about the missing “art” in AI art. Also the fact that in the future it will be more and more difficult to see the difference between a
