Went to a twisted wonderland themed party this weekend and painted the roses red, offed some heads, etc.

We did the #nokings thing today.

Painted a face hugger this weekend. As one does with a weekend.

The last time a president and his cronies - including a young J. Edgar Hoover - tried to mass deport Americans they didn't like, the nation stopped them, as I discuss here.

wow domestika not paying their CGMA instructors is just horrid. Do not support domestika. Hopefully those instructors land somewhere that treats them right.

Yearly reminder that inktober and similar month-long-daily-prompt challenges are often unhealthy and lead to burnout! It's more important that you enjoy making your art than it is to hit every daily item. Some people can manage it, most can't. Also the Inktober founder sucks.

bog pixie, started as a weekend zbrush doodle and i thought, 'what if i just finished it and made it into something?'

My first weird al concert. Psyched!

Trump did this

hopefully wrapping this WIP up next week; this started as a weekend f-around thing a few years ago and decided to brush it off; will do hair in xgen

The brutal layoffs and game project cancellations will continue until morale improves. Thank you for your attention in this matter! #gamedev

Hey! Do you need a highly technical character artist with almost 15 years of individual contributor and leadership experience? Looking for someone to wrangle your shaders? Or perhaps you need a person to assemble your character art pipeline? That's me! 🎨 www.xavierck.com 📫 [email protected]

I finally finished this piece. My homage to the late, great David Lynch. "Fix Your Hearts or Die" Prints and stickers are available in my store. Also 8x8 prints without the words. www.emmalerae.com/store.html #Sciart #paleoart

Some images from #NoKings protest today in North Phoenix.

Andor is a gift. I still can’t believe it got made. Here’s more of my Rogue One concept art - the Occupation of Jedha. Reality continues to be stranger and more cruel than fiction.

Of all the things going on in the world the one I am thinking of right now is how much I dislike that there is a live action remake of How to Train Your Dragon. Brains are weird.

this happened, can't say anything yet; The industry largely sucks right now but many others have survived it so just keep on keepin' on i guess!

"Kennedy’s disgust with and devaluation of autistic people fits neatly into a eugenic logic that views health as virtue, and sees illness, or difference, as a kind of moral lapse which should be subject to punishment or censure."

This #caturday, I'm bringing you an important musical interlude. [sound on] #cat #cats #catstodon #catsofmastodon #humor #humour #piano

Gathering of secret societies last night.

Drakon! First time playing this one

So glad it's Friday. Boardgame hangout tomorrow. Ren faire on Sunday. And yes that does sound pretty nerdy.

Watching Severance and wondering how innies deal with burnout. Every waking moment at work sounds like a few gaming companies.

not at GDC this year since I don't get back to the bay often. I used to go every year when it was a BART ride to get there. I am a lead character artist working on a game w/ Echtra and here is me spelunking. #WhatAGameDevLooksLike

was bummed to hear this, loved the work this team did and I got brought in because this was going on, & it was a way to bring me onto my current team. I think we've all seen this is a hard game type to get player traction on with just a few dominating. starwarshunters.com/news/sunset-...

Thinking of actually going into theater to see Mickey-17. If you have seen it and like it or hate it let me know so i can proceed with confidence or avert.

Rewatched Andor as weekly work watch party during lunch. I describe it as a simmering pot that reaches a boil and its how things feel politically in this country. As a vet I am f-ing pissed at how we are turning backs on allies and voting with NK AND Putin in the UN.

Hard-working game devs across three WB studios are now suddenly without jobs -- the company behind games like Batman: Arkham and Mortal Kombat. Layoffs aren't "strategic," they're corporate greed. Video game workers deserve to be treated with dignity.

this speaks so much to me after Monolith Productions be closed down

I was really excited about the wonder woman game. WB under Zaslav is the death of all cool things. Break that shitty company up if they can't manage it.

character art be like, export a thing, import a thing, tweak a thing, export a thing, import a thing, tweak a thing, repeat 1000 times.

Back from vacation. No more tropical...

If you need me I'll be on a beach building up my fight energy!

Even though I don't do much social media i do think it's great that both x and Facebook have both caused their own exodus of users. Self pwns.

studio winter break, 16 days off starting now!

And it's done - I really like how this looks. Happy with the new cockpit, happy with the updates to the character and overall animation. Hope you like it!

Okaaaaaay, Maxon finally got me to upgrade ZBrush with their cyber-sale thingy. Being dragged kicking and screaming to subscription but.....

Sweet potato casserole is completed. Extra marshmallows!!!!

my pre-holiday cleaning seems to include that ALL my maquettes are dust free

weird stuff that pops into my head while weekend cleaning, "i wonder why it was called Kmart?" and as soon as I can start reading about something I really don't care about but MUST have the answer to.

a mere month away from a winter break from work and I am counting the days

Want to make your game more accessible, try this one easy trick - DONT USE TINY TEXT -find any text that is 18pt-24pt and increase it to ~26pt. Your players will thank you when playing on steam deck, or from the couch. -Anything under 18pt - just delete the text, no one has been reading it anyway

The Twelve Days of Christmas; A Holiday Fantasy, is now available everywhere. Visit a bookstore! Find it on Amazon! Or if you want a signed copy with some extra treats, go to my Backerkit store!

Murray Hardyhead and Australian smelt models. I developed a technique to imply a greater sense of internality to small translucent fish. All now on display at Oxford Uni Museum of Natural History

Just three days remain on Kickstarter for my art book 'Other Worlds'! My work on 'Subnautica: Below Zero' has its own entire chapter. I made sure to show the concept art process, with variants and lots of WIPs. Check out the Kickstarter here:) bit.ly/403C70b (MyArt)

Oh hey! Looking for another senior character artist with AAA experience to join my team. Apply here: www.zynga.com/job-listing/...

I was Maleficent for Halloween. I am usually bad at holiday and costume participation.

I'm off to get vaccines today. I hope I don't end up on a list!
