The Poverty Draft, Politics, Symbols, and the inconvenience of being human.
Even in times of war, the Soldier as an individual is of no consequence. The Soldier is a symbol, a simple pawn in a culture war. The Soldier is either a villain, or a Hero. The Soldier always serves for the honor of his country, not his paycheck. The Soldier is faithful, as there are 'no atheists in the trenches'. The Soldier is Combat Arms. The Soldier is male, he married a young white girl, and he has a baby on the way, whom he has never met.
The Soldier is a romantic ideal.

My mother could do amazing things with a piece of charcoal...
I draw like a 6 year old...
But with fractals, photography, poetry, and the occasional digital art piece...
I too can create art...
And you are right you have to step back, look, think, make adjustments, and maybe do it all several times before you get what you wanted from the beginning

Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental.
Very well said. I always find it interesting when someone that works in "x" media says that 'y" media isn't art. Some people just don't realize how ignorant this sort of noise makes them appear.

Art is an expression of the soul, I don't think anybody should try to take that away from an artist.

Love me?
this is a bit off subject, but can't someone think of a better name then "digital painting"? cuz a painting is made with paint, not colored pixels on an electronic screen (no disrespect to that genre, has some stunning stuff)

"a painting is made with paint, not colored pixels on an electronic screen" - that statement comes from someone who has idea that painting on a computer can be exactly the same thing as traditional painting on canvas. Go to youtube and watch one or two of the hundreds of demonstrations of digital painting in Painter or Photoshop. You will see it's exactly the same.
The term is subjective but the action is still the same. It is still painting.
What would you call it if not digital painting, then?
