Okay. If you don't even like drawing, why should I care to see it, then?
Is this like when casual acquaintances who don't like each other pretend to make weekend plans they both know they're going to cancel if either one of them ever brings it up again?
You shouldn't care, you're right!
Yet here we are in a community that's all about b*thing about it.
I'm not saying this is something that should be used to crank out slop to sell as posters or paintings or idk. I'm saying it can help e.g. indie devs, people making random powerpoints, making a customised meme, stuff where the art isn't the main point but is sometimes still necessary.
Yes, but what I'm asking about is why you feel an indie game needs that. People generally find the effort made by someone less skilled way more charming than they do a technically proficient AI-thing, anyway.
Like, you're describing background assets as if they were a handshake the two of us are required by social contact to perform as part of our greeting ritual—why is it necessary? If you've got shaky hands, we could just... not do it. You know?
