Hi.
I made this thread to remind every single ai manga /comic/illustration enthusiasts something very important. I have been there like you trying to make a oneshot procrastinating and quitting . I know that its tempting to use ai tools to escape from the creative effort and the hours that you would have to spend if you really want to improve your art and storytelling. I also got real close to do this but then one of my friends who is an animator in japan asked me this question " is it more rewarding than the feeling you get when someone really appreciates the effort you put in ".
i find the use of ai in creative fields extremely disrespectful towards the people who spent hours mastering the skill.
but but i'm not talented

Am i ever gonna make it if i put in the hours
depends on what you mean exactly. you can have all the talent, all the potential, but if you don't put in the work, those things will never be actualized. it can be useful clarifying or (re-)calibrating your sense of "making it," but I don't believe any of us knows the upper limits of what we're capable of artistically; I'd venture to say that virtually no one in the history of human existence has truly exhausted the potential avenues to "make it," by their own standards. so all you can do is try, experiment, and keep an optimistic mindset.

IF Glennie being profoundly deaf since childhood and having started to lose her hearing at the age of 8 didn't stop her .

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2013/jul/07/can-science-spot-talent-kaufmanA talent (or aptitude) is the natural ability to do something better than most people. Talent is often confused with skill. We can develop and improve skill but not talent.
