Start Art directing things (poorly) and see how fast your partner starts focusing their attention back on that instead.

This is the way. Be sure to present your bad art direction work as if it’s theirs.

Had a similar issue so I started throwing out art direction ideas/notes, but would caveat everything with, “But you’re the art director, so that’s your call.”

When they inevitably chose their art direction over mine, I had ground to stand on for shutting down their bad writing.

And balance was restored to the four kingdoms.

Why is your AD actually doing the writing?

I think it makes sense for scripts since we’re both sorta responsible for that but they will rewrite everything I do and make it super complicated and fluffy
