Happy halloween and old paintings for thee

O filme na tv outro dia que era puro marketing do capitalismo de vigilância. Todas as ferramentas da protagonista eram algum app/programa de rastreio e/ou monitoramento constante (meta, google, apple etc) - e toda menção aos antagonistas tinha software com privacidade (proton, duckduckgo etc)

Today is one of those days you remember all the things that required an e-mail address for single time purchases

I'm old. If you're not, listen to this. Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder. Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever. It's literally never been more important.

until we return, paradise interred

So' ʇopɐʎ,s ɯʎ qᴉɹʇɥpɐʎ¡ Might I be halfway through life already? Had a lovely day today, and things are looking better even as the days get gloomier. Wouldn't complain if you lovely folks shared my work around today🌱 Stay cool, don't give into fascism ;)

I’m really excited to share that I won the Frank R. Paul Award for Best Magazine Cover Art! My painting Stasis, a self-portrait about invisible illness, was featured on the cover of Uncanny Magazine Issue 58 🖤 #art #painting #portrait #illustration

More hours in, it keeps getting more spooky and unsettling - I'm enjoying almost everything so far. Even though combat mechanics have been a bit unclear, I have been doing fine. Only complaint is that some tips simply flash on the screen when there's something happening, and I can't read that fast

Godzilla be like

I might have fallen victim to a jumpscare. Regardless, really enjoying this first run of Silent Hill F.

one of the things that makes me most mad about genAI (and there are many) is we've been told there's not enough money for hiring. but there's billions poured into ai. so not enough money to hire workers. but infinite money to pour into technology whose goal is never having to pay workers again.

People complain a lot about the 90's american Godzilla, but it was one of my first interactions with him. Having this cartoon on TV at the time was just so awesome! xD

Não esqueci de comentar, só acho que resolve nada. A desinformação e a quebra da noção de realidade e autoridade que vêm de uns anos pra cá não estão sendo corrigidas. Tem big tech, grupo religioso, empresário e (mais) outros politicos que criam viés, distorcem, ameaçam, causam mortes. Punição? +

Aye

I finally got a little rest and decided to play Silent Hill F. Impressions so far: very spooky. It's indeed a Silent Hill atmosphere with all the og vibes but in Japan. Enemies are scary and hard to predict. And the game is very pretty, even with all the horror stuff going on.

Hey everyone! I am currently on the lookout for 3D Animator roles! ✨I have almost 5 years experience in the Games Industry 🎨Looking for Animation, Concept Art, QA, and other similar roles. 💼 Open to Remote or near Boston/Rhode Island Thank you! #animator #animation

I just dropped my newest (100% free✨) Blender guide - this time made with your help! It’s a 19-page collection of tips and tricks from some of the coolest Blender artists out there. It covers everything: Advanced Modeling, Rendering, Hotkeys and more! Okay, enough teasing! ⤵️ t.co/Ht4LUy538q

Just hanging out in the dark under a log. As one does. #oilpaintingtimelapse #paintingtimelapse

The amount of people I know who have been laid off from games industry jobs and are deciding to leave games entirely as a result is not only extremely saddening (of course), but also genuinely scary. We have lost legitimately thousands of years of knowledge and experience in the last four years.

A friend of mine just released the trailer for a new tactical strategy #indiegame where you follow iconic leaders in the battle that builds the symbol of one of the greatest resistances of the Black people, in the largest Quilombo in the Americas. Take a look: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWuR...

Some advice from a couple of years ago that I still think most creative people need to hear --

Percebi agora que escrevi de cima pra baixo a temperatura. Acho que é justamente porque é bem mais difícil de ter tempo frio e a expectativa fica em cima das máximas.

Norte de MG Entre 30 e 25 é de boa, margem de 2 graus pra cima e pra baixo. ~32: "calor". ~23: "frio". 34+ é ar condicionado, ventilador. 21- moletom, meias e coberta. Tem manhã bem mais fria e a variação às vezes passa 10 graus. Mas o calor vem rápido e estabiliza, daí abaixo de 24 fica raro.

Hi! I've just graduated, so I'm now currently looking for work! I'm a jack of all trades illustrator, animator, modeller, designer, etc. with experience running an indie pilot. If you need any of that done, consider shooting me an Email or DM !

Apno Delgado (@apnoiac.bsky.social) is working on the bulk of 3D models, rigs and animation work for characters and enemies. Fans of SIGNALIS may recognize their wonderful animated fanart! They are also working on upcoming indie titles DEAD HEAT and Rogue Hunter!

It's doing It again. The tech guy said they couldn't reproduce/hear It in the repair shop so yikes I'm being haunted or something

The Pc trouble made me realize I can organize my storage according to use and that might help me A TON in the future. But I still don't get whether I should use SSDs or HDDs for internal storage. Maybe I should just roll with both?

I would do the art vs artist thing but right now I feel so wasted that my picture would inflict +15 psychic damage on a 5km radius and my art wouldn't do much to help. Maybe some other time.

I have mah 'puter back! :D The SSD is dying tho D:

Cars (Fear Factory version) playing in the background

Rebecca Heineman's last message was for people to look up her departed partner, Jennell Jaquays. Jaquays was so influent to tabletop RPGs that "Jaquaysing" became a verb for designing complex, non-linear dungeons. @nickoten.bsky.social wrote a great article on her: pathikablog.com/2025/04/26/h...

My trailblazing game industry bad-ass friend Rebecca Heineman has passed away. Fuck cancer. Friends, let’s not forget her: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca...

I long for a culture that allows more room for craft and care, where you don't have to race to finish. Where you go off on tangents and explore dead ends. Where ink and paint are allowed time to dry. Where deadlines allow for reasonable flex, and projects aren't judged on profitability comparisons.

Any #UE5 sickos have experience with this?

I think most artists hit a point where they’re like, well if I can’t be the best artist, I shall be the most ME artist.

Now that people are talking Valve and stuff again. Did they get the blocked games from the paypros scandal back online?

Friendly tip for folks. My discord got hacked yesterday and my computer was acting funky ever since. Turns out it was malware installed through a blender file I bought as part of an asset pack on CG Trader. I didn’t know blender files were being used this way, but I figured I’d spread the word.

If you need to keep Blender secure right away: - Install a firewall app and disable Blender’s internet access. - Disable auto-run scripts. - Only use the official extension repository, manual installation. - Don’t install scripts from unknown sources. - Read the script's code before installing it.

By the way I've been up to something

By the way I've been up to something

I need to update my banner, like, yesterday. While I still draw and paint digitally, It has become much less frequent than my 3D work.

Paid their staff well.

Today I was thinking about Elden Ring

Saving quick backups so I can send the computer to the repair shop on monday. No blender until the middle of the week it seems :(

Blaming artists because they post their work on the internet so it's ok to steal from them is so twisted and disgusting. Stealing all the artwork without any consent and not paying any artist at all, and then feeding it to the plagiarizing machine is disgusting.

Using AI slop and saying you made the art while you just put some prompts is hilariously dumb and disgusting. Making thousands, millions on the back of artists that struggle to get food is vile and that's what makes me angry the most.

Apparently the issue is in the water cooler, but I have zero ideas on fixing that. The thing is making a sound like metal parts grinding, but I couldn't find any videos with similar issues. Maybe it ran out of coolant?

Narrator: it wasn't.

I'm removing the mettalic exoeskeleton now, hopefully the viscera did not sustain any damage. The amount of dust is incomprehensible to the human mind.
