TV commercials? Honest question, do you even know what is the Adobe Cloud used for? Do you even know who uses it and how it is used? They're not the industry standard for nothing, they're actually really powerful creativity tools with strong collaboration tools. They are not perfect, but they ARE the best. You don't use it, you're out of the industry. It's hard to keep a job with Affinity unless you're freelancing, and it's damn impossible if you rely on crap like GIMP.
Sure, you can put a nail in with a shoe but that doesn't mean the shoe is better than a hammer. Come on.
Are you really a better creator if you push a button to create vs someone who spends a year on a single static painting? Sure you'll die on hunger these days and I understand that. But using Adobe crap won't get you past AI. Soon I'll be able to just ask AI to make me a Bruce Willis movie about a regular guy who happens to be a really good mechanic with a military past with secret ties to the CIA, and I'll be be watching the best movie he ever made past his retirement. What are you going to do? Press a button to hopefully make a swirl better? Nah. Artists talent comes from knowing the nuts and bolts of the things you do.
Thanks for the laugh, because your reply clearly shows you have no arguments and decided to attack me on a personal level, all while showing you know absolutely nothing about the creative arts and the industry.
This silly angry discourse of yours? I heard it again and again: how all the work I did and the knowledge I had because I spent so much time learning to grind pigments, to choose the right oils, to know the right water dosage, the right paper, all of it, would be useless because the new big thing arrived: digital art tools. How designers would be obsolete because instead of drawing with pen and paper and big ass tables and rules we would be doing all in a tiny screen, being all processed through a computer.
I lived through it all kid, while you're typing your silly comment in the confort of your room without a single knowledge of the real world. And I'll do it again and again, because I'm not a moron. I know how to draw and to paint for real, and how to draw and how to paint in digital, and I'm using AI to enhance everything beyond what I thought it was possible.
You know nothing, and understand nothing, all while tapping yourself in the back thinking you got a great zinger. Shame.
And don't bother to reply. You're a moron and an imbecile that I already spent too much time replying your stupidity. You're blocked.
