I think the push for perfect realism in digital art is a mistake

I saw a friend's portfolio from 2020 and then again last month, and the change is huge. They went from these cool, stylized characters with bold colors to super detailed, almost photo-like portraits. They told me they felt pressure to 'keep up' after seeing so much hyper-realistic work online. Honestly, I miss the old stuff that had more feeling and a clear style. Does anyone else feel like the art community is pushing everyone toward the same look?

That pressure to fit in can really kill a unique voice.

Yeah, you gotta ignore the noise. Do your own thing, even if it feels weird at first.
