I can upload some software in hopes that others find is useful and can build on top of it, or send back improvements. Not sure how that happens with a painting, even a digital one.

Art tends to be a solitary vocation.

But professional graphic designers, train to work in product-focused teams. They also are able to create collaborative suites of deliverables.

Most developers will find utility in the work of graphic designers, as opposed to fine artists.
