I don't want to shoot videos I don't want to post tutorials I don't want to show my process I don't want to pour varnish I don't want to turn my canvas I don't want to record my screen I don't want to cultivate parasocial relationships I just want to make pictures and shitpost

Yeah, this makes perfect sense. A bunch of suits who showed up, rubbing their palms together, drooling, asking where the money comes out. It wouldn’t be the first company/industry they’ve destroyed.

Multiple game studios have recently closed because their titles couldn't compete with established live-service games like Fortnite. Meanwhile, you can also literally work on Fortnite and get laid off and Tim Sweeney remains a billionaire. Something has to change. The time is now. uvw-cwa.org

CEOs will be like "this is just an unfortunate fact of the market. This was a very hard decision to make" while buying their fifth yacht

The Game Awards cycle in a nutshell: Geoff Keighley pockets millions, executives rake in bonuses, shareholders see value increase, the projects get mismanaged... the workers get laid off and players are left disappointed. We deserve better.

Yeah, this is definitely accurate. Also, being a little older there’s a feeling of, “wow these young artists are much better than me! I’ve wasted so much time and will never be good enough.”

This is just going to always be my go-to response to this kind of thing anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

Having done concept work… yes, 100% Zane is right. You get better, cooler, weirder, wilder, fresher ideas with creatives bouncing off each other than a plagiarised soulless mashup will get you. The earlier the stage of design, the more critical it IS to the design. Abandon AI. Choke the beast.

"Anyone who works in the games industry can identify that our art form is being sold for parts to make a few people a lot of money. And they don’t care about the games. They don’t care about the art. They just want their money." @alyssamerc.bsky.social

while industry figures, dressed to the nines, filtered into LA's peacock theater last week, protesters chanted "the industry is dead" outside of it. despite how often geoff keighley says the game awards exist to "celebrate" games and the people who make them, many feel ignored

So much money in video games and so little of it actually going to developers.

This is so painfully accurate lmao.

The rich countries does not care, as it does not affect them to the point of concern, it will but then it would be too later. Praying for Philipines.

Look at it.

Everyone's like wah wah we will die from climate change soon. SOON!! brother its already happening!! People from the global north dont give a fuck because its happening to countries like the Philippines!! People died already!! Theyre still buried under the mud!! And the rain still hasn't stopped!!

A female Tropical Royal Flycatcher showing a bit of her crest for me today. After they catch a butterfly, they spend some time preening and they will often display a bit when they're floofing their feathers. At @tapirvalley.bsky.social #CostaRica #birds #nature

going even more specific, unless you're losing *vital* depth information or unless the acting choice is *unintentionally* boring it's all just so subjective and this industry tries so hard to pretend it's not lol

a fun sketch. #digitalart #sketch

Nonono! See, my boss insists the reason I had 2 burnouts last year is because I don't know how to manage my time, and not... you know... the fact that they cut a position in my team and the ineffective management with poor communication and constantly shifting goals!

Finally, 3rd one, my Ancient Black Dragon illustration! #dnd #ttrpg

Almost everyone in game dev gets paid extremely low salaries compared to their colleagues in the same role outside of game dev, while publishers rake in millions, so I can assure you that the increase in price is not buying groceries for game devs.

Moebius-ass video game. #art #fanart #mushroomancer #gunlance #MHW #MonsterHunterWilds #MonsterHunter #mhart

fvck it its fine MonHun oc thread [ #mhw #mhwilds #monhun #oc]

nothing hits quite like having an OC you ship with your friend's OC and your chat is just putting them in Situations. extremely excellent, only thing that's keeping me sane these days, highly recommend.

If hard work meant financial success, donkeys would be billionaires.

Time for another reference dump! This zip file contains 2,566 photos (6.58 GB) from the Metropolitan Museum of Art arms and armor collection. I tried to focus on the types of details you don't see in most available reference, like hinges and fasteners. Enjoy! drive.google.com/file/d/1emF3...

Surprise surprise, not much people care about the neo slavery going on in the video games industry of third world countries. Enjoy your triple As built on the backs of overworked, burned out, underpaid outsource workers I guess.

Vaal Hazak is my favorite monster #MonsterHunter

Because nobody is talking about this enough. We're so tired, but literally have no choice. It's crunch, burn out, or bust.

Reposting this guide from twitter because I COOKED here. (and still refer to this at work even now!)

Put a drawing tutorial I made last year about raptor feet here. It covers some anatomical features and shares my approach to studying animal structures. I hope it will be helpful！ #tutorial #animal

happy new year, i have no new art worthy to show for 2025 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ so here's a repost of the of the banner art i have up top just old fanart for fallout 76, back when i was still crazy about the idea of having mutant horses in post-war radioactive appalachia

So excited to share my #artvsartist2024 !!!
