"you need to learn how to use gAI or you'll get left behind!" counterpoint! the absolute fastest way to render yourself unemployable is to build your skillset around a tool that does your thinking for you, that everyone has access to, and that one company can change or take away at any time

I tell artists as often as I can: you know how to draw, you just don't know how to be happy about what you make.

"What is the bravest thing you've ever said?," asked the boy. "Help," said the horse. "Asking for help isn't giving up," said the horse. "It's refusing to give up." - Charlie Mackesy

don't draw it the way you think it looks best. draw it the way you have the most fun doing it

Natural talent is nothing compared to the ability to keep making shit long after everyone else has given up

Hello #PortfolioDay ! My name is Laís and I'm a 2D illustrator who works mostly for tCG and mobile. Although I draw anything for work, I'm happiest when I'm drawing pretty girls and boys, preferably accompanied by pretty flowers and magical colors 💅 📧: [email protected] www.artstation.com/marim

Treat environment art, vfx, props the way you would treat a character. Always ask questions what purpose they serve in the moment and think about how they all fit together.

i think what gets overlooked is that part of the humor and charm of edits like these is that you're perfectly aware that someone sat down and spent their own time making it. they chose to do something cool or silly or stupid or genius, regardless of the results that human element elevates the work

Just gonna say this again for games sphere cus we get the same question: Networking doesn't mean schmoozing up to famous people, it means making friends with your peers. Then in 10 years, 20, one of you might be famous? And sure you're still helping each other cus well yeah friends. Make. Friends.

Having a cat is so cool. There is a little creature in my bed who loves me and vibrates like a tiny motorcycle and is so fuzzy and wants to snuggle. How could I want anything else

Quantic Foundry does legit trustworthy analysis of gamer behaviour, and these survey results are shockingly negative toward genAI, to the point where I’m more hopeful that data driven mobile and AAA backpedals on their uses.

Going into 2026, a reminder for everyone who's fallen off the creative wagon, game dev, writing, art, music, whatever, no matter how long:

Introvert

friendly reminder that you didn't waste your year. any moments of happiness or comfort. any small accomplishments, they all matter. this has been a really hard year, and simply surviving is something to be proud of.

I also wrote something for Mr. Porter, which touches on the same topic. The general gist: choosing a gift is not about imposing your (I'm sure superior) taste on others, but rather showing someone you value them and recognize their inner world. www.mrporter.com/en-gb/journa...

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

[observing someone’s obsessive passion project] wow i really like whatever’s wrong with that guy

"The Art of K-Pop Demon Hunters" artbook (physical) is coming in 2026. In the meantime, here's the free digital version. >> theartofkpopdemonhunters.com

Happy Halloween 🎃🎃🎃🎃👻👻👻👻

Is this in CMYK?

“Don’t trust the voices after 9pm” is prob one of the better bits of advice I’ve heard

The Hades franchise has been everything I could’ve wished for since 2020. I always wanted to thank Supergiant Games with a fanart, but I was always short on… time? Maybe now, time won’t be such a troublesome thing for me anymore. Death to Chronos!

your daily reminder that hope is a floatation device- grab it with both hands 🖤

Painting is this weird emotional yo-yo for me between proud and pleased, and extreme displeasure and dissatisfaction. Somehow these opposite emotions often exist simultaneously.

Some of the character exploration I did for for Line Studio's trailer for Super Giant Games's Hades II (+weapon designs)

saw a post i liked on tumblr today.....didnt see that they'd posted it on their account here but i wish they would its a sentiment that resonated w me more than making "good" art it's just important to make art....thanks man

come to think of it i don't think i've ever been to a single "launch party" of any game i worked on ever guess that's the contractor life. no free copy of the game you worked on, no party invite. just come into work and disappear like a puff of smoke.

Well no one is gonna see me on September 25th

Art is just so fucking cool. I love scrolling my feed here and seeing piece after piece of what feels like the true universal language of humanity. Even if we don't share the same words you can draw a picture of something that matters to you and I will feel it in some way. I love that connection.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

I don't get how people don't realize that a technology that replaces junior and entry level positions in a field destroys that field. There's no skipping steps. You have to be a junior before you can be a senior, and if you don't have senior people, you don't have a field.

Oh the crocodile tears of thieves who might face legal consequences. “But our company might go down!” Well you shouldn’t have felt entitled to profit off works you do not own, and built your entire business off this racket 🤷🏻‍♀️ Also missing from this article- arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

I'm having a rough go of it lately, and have been thinking: everyone is going through something, and you have no idea what it is, or how it's affecting them. Quote post this is if you're going through something, and maybe we'll all realize that we aren't as alone as we feel right now.

I got the extreme honor to paint Yennefer for the new french edition of "Sword of Destiny" by Bragelonne. The Witcher books and games have a very special place in my heart, I put a lot of love into this....so I hope you will like it too ! 💜

You practice so that your worst is still good. When you're exhausted, don't have enough time, the brief is slim, the anxiety's peaking and you're in over your head, at least you can still make it good enough. You draw a ton so when the time comes you simply perspire good draftsmanship.

Fazer arte é bom demais mas é ruim demais mas eu adoro mas meu deus que dor Agonia e êxtase que chama né

the fun oxymoron of being a gamedev is feeling your work doesn't matter while simultaneously putting 100s of hours into a game to stay sane (looking at you Stardew and Balatro players)

If "AI" was as valuable as they say it is, they wouldn't be selling it to you. They'd be using it themselves in secret to make the next Minecraft, the next Avatar, the next Hello Kitty and then they'd sell that to you. They're trying to sell you a sick goose, while pretending it lays golden eggs.

K-pop Demon Hunters did not have the right to hurt me like that 😭 "I'm too much and also not enough" how can you make a character so relatable with so little screentime??
