I’m not super great with talking to people.
Wouldn’t be surprised if an official diagnosis declared I was on the spectrum.
Therefore, I’ve been obsessed with hard skills. Namely digital sculpture. I’ve done some work for table top games and toys.
I’m starting to think hard skills will fall more to the wayside for humans the further out we go into the future.
I get a feeling we will all be entrepreneurs commanding a bunch of template code, robots and AI to execute our work for us.
This scares me bc my confidence comes from the quality of my work. The fact that I can let my work do the talking for me.
At the same time, as an artist, this kind of excites me. As opposed to sculpting out one character in a game, I can create the entire game world on my own.
Just my two cents.

People pay to see originality and imperfections in work. To see the talents and craft of someone else. This is a quote lifted from the Diamond Age book I keep using:
"Hand art demanded commitment from the artist. It could only be done once, and if you screwed it up, you had to live with the consequences."
Many famous artists these days are production lines, hiring students or taking no more than several minutes to throw paint at a canvas (e.g. Damien Hirst). They won't survive for long when presented next to originality like you will be able to offer and when their methods are exposed.
Definitely keep focusing on the positives and on the quality of your work. The market will have your back I am sure of it.
