    Hi Trent, I don't normally comment but I just want to say that I find your chaotic creativity completely infectious. I used to never believe that I would be good enough to do artistic things but seeing your approach to just throwing stuff at the wall and see what sticks has really inspired me to give new things a go and let go of some of that fear of it not being good enough. So thanks.

    Your style and presentation has always had me gravitating for more of your stuff, so I'm honestly happy you were able to find what works and stop worrying about whether you've got "The New Hotness" when it comes to equipment. Videography (much like the mini hobby) is art, and you can have all of the expensive toys and gadgets in the world, but if you don't have that spark, you won't stand out, you won't grow, you won't learn, and you won't get better. You don't have that problem, and I see genuine growth in your videos everyday!

    I hear ya on the whole sleep pattern thing, my sleep pattern doesn't have much pattern, if I'm hyped on doing something my brain won't shut off until I do it so I end up painting or editing etc all night and sleeping when I'm just too tired to work anymore. It may seem disorganised but I know the energy is different when I'm excited and hyped about what I'm doing.

    As someone with a super irregular sleep schedule, i think i usually don't mind skipping sleep as long as i have something to show for it or to continue on when i inevitably crash. Once i get into a certain workflow i don't want to put it down because if i get out of the flow i'll be flooded in half finished projects that probably won't ever get finished in no time. As long as you still get some sleep in somewhere whenever you feel like it it's not that bad

    What about a conversion tournament where comversion is baked in to the narritive. So BitWars- a swamp battleground between several wizard/necromincers territory is filled with bitsand more are made in battle. The pieces that are slain in campigns go to the other side to convert into ever more grotesque limbos?

    That way the pieces actually die (in a way) and theres real incentive to play well/not get too precious about them? Plus the chance to win bits. Also you could play to target bits that your after. It' would be kind of like poker because you could definitely lose everything !

As Ai generated images especially; steal from artists’ original work to actually generate the images. I don’t know too much when it comes to Ai generated writing and tables but I’d wager it works exactly the same albeit taking existing pieces of writing and changing it a bit to match what your looking to “generate”. I’m not saying you are at fault for not knowing or making it clear your stance on Ai “art” and such, I was just letting you know incase you didn’t know :)

Another difference between kitbashing and Ai generated images is that Kitbashing is a creative outlet in its own right, but Ai cannot create anything new or interesting, it is a tool that is easily abused to remove the credit from hardworking starved artists.
