Old studies + Purple Lego tutorial

If you switch to bsky it will be vitally important to not use the Discover feed and instead pin this one

🦋 Welcome to Buesky! 🦋 It's long past time to leave the Nazi bar, and you'll have a much better time here. I updated this guide due to the influx of users fleeing Grok's new AI bullshit. Share widely for all the newcomers!

Hey new folks, here's a collection of top tier artists you can follow. Concept Artists: go.bsky.app/TyNJQ99 Creature Designers: go.bsky.app/SBCxqoa Pro Illustrators 1: go.bsky.app/79aS32C Pro Illustrators 2: go.bsky.app/D3T5kF Good Paleoartists: go.bsky.app/RYwJUEK

Man its like just so invasive and gross feeling to see "Edit Image" appear over other people's images. Musk decided to give us the only kind of gift he can for christmas, sickening disappointment. Best of luck out there folks.

Genuinely though Pipe Rock Theory gets our exact moment better than anything else I've seen.

"concept artists can experiment with AI to make their lives easi-" wrong I smack you with Claire Hummel's immaculate and detailed understanding of costume design, which she got by studying historical references, which made her strong, which you will not become by relying on AI get good

The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out. This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.

So the guy himself is saying they arent really even seeing productivity gains? He said they are just using AI because they are afraid of being left behind. He is inviting this public scorn by repeating techbro talking points for no benefit at all. The mind of a CEO is fascinating.

Been working on this giant illustration for the last 3 months now. I uh might have bitten off more than I am actually capable of actually doing with my current skill level. I realize now how old masters could spend years on a single big piece. I love it but also it’s crushing me.

Yoooo the teaser for a game I did creature designs for came out. Stay to the end to see my beautiful baby boy youtu.be/iUY6bFjivWU

If we are going to have to live under the hell world regime of disney fascism, at least they gave us Sebulba back.

Corporations don't give you free stuff for naming your child after them anymore. Netflix would be a beautiful name for a baby girl but they don't respond to my emails.

Its my birthday today! More importantly I finally got the new pins I teased up on my shop, my birthday gift to you all!! rjpalmerstore.com/collections/...

guy making fun of a 38 year old: "nice joke, did the McElroy brothers give it to you?"

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

Dailies with Dustbot! One more dracolich for the road. Helpful concepts, will probably borrow bits from all 4 renditions (counting the original profile) #dragon #dragonart #dracolich #concept #conceptart #undead #zombie #sketch #sketchbook

whats up my fellow gamers

This might be the most realistic portrayal of being an artist working for indecisive directors/leads I've ever seen on tv. Everyone needs to be watching The Chair Company.

I just made this, is it funny?

Devonion fishies Elpistostege (close relative of the famous Tiktaalik) and couple of bothriolepis swimming by. Needs updating but still thinking this is one of my better paintings I have done

For over a decade industry legend (Big)Jeff Simpson has kept his arcane teachings to himself, that changes now. Y'all should check this out if you want to get better at art.

lmao even the machine doesnt consider AI images to be art

This makes sense if you seen Predator Badlands (arttag)

This makes for a really good warmup but jeeze it sure would be easier if I had a simpler favorite pokemon

Seeing Zohran win its so awesome to wake up to good political news two days in a row. Has that ever happened before?

more like Dead Cheney am I right?

Corey is a treasure that we are lucky enough to coexist at the same time with

Obviously want to wait and see how it all shakes out but I guess I painted Nanotyrannus here 🤷

more dragon fun

This is the proper way to draw a T. rex 👇

Brooklyn, 1980. A kind young man from Japan offers Mario to adapt his life's story into video games. The old man's only request is that his wife gets to be a Princess, as she should be.

Big ol' Warhammer (fanart!) poster I did for the Apothecarion charity event. This was a massive undertaking for mw, it's the most complex thing I've ever done and the first piece of (semi) personal art I've completed in about 10 years.

Quickie little guide to T. rex faces. I feel like I've gotten into the habit of only sharing big final works but let me know if you'd like me to post more of my little sketches.

Oh hey I did some design work on this. You might even spot my design in the trailer 😉

Demo went really well! Thank you to everyone who came by to watch me pontificate about creature anatomy for an hour.

I'd rather get past writer's block with a bullet to my own brain

I’m doing a creature design demo this weekend at Lightbox Expo, here’s a taster of what I’ll be covering 💪

As someone with a special interest in Monster Hunter icon style Pokemon, these PLA easter egg glyphs in the Pokemon Legends Z-A museum are rad

this is making the rounds on facebook so i thought id bring it here for u m'lord

In leaked Gamefreak documents Pokemon gen 8 was originally going to be prehistoric themed and wait a second, thats my old T. rex artwork?? What the hell thats so cool???

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

Man, Discord really needs a "remind me later" option on DMs I don't want to deal with right now and also don't want to see notifications from.

Y'all please take a look at this art my partner made. She worked on it over nights and weekends for weeks to get it done and its very good! #art

look ai is completely destroying the world with massive pollution and is using up water at a concerning rate but at least you get to use technology that lies to you and is the primary propaganda mechanism by fascists

A cinematic achievement in the field of video essays.

T. rex was formally named 120 years ago today. Hell yeah king happy birthday! #art

Do you guys ever look at a drawing in progress and simply feel so overwhelmed by the amount of work left that it paralyzes you? Anyways I'm 65 hours into a piece and have not yet completed the drawing step. Realizing there is a reason I put this idea off for 11 years 🙃

We've created a Starter Pack of people who will be exhibiting or presenting at #LBX2025 (less than a month away!!) If you're not on the list, let us know and we'll add you! ❤️ go.bsky.app/9mhBiJ9
