Just repeating it because some are repeating Microsoft's lies unquestioningly about them having to cut people to save money, etc. Their gaming division was 26 *billion* USD in the black. They had just posted record revenue. They were swimming in money. But Microsoft wants to invest *80bn* in AI.

New from me, on The Guardian (!!): Generative AI is causing new, unusual problems for game developers — people are being accused of using it, even when they say they haven't. Building trust between a studio and its player base is more important than ever. www.theguardian.com/games/2025/j...

I’m watching a board game video for a new game, and surprise! Art I did 15yrs ago for an older game is featured in this new game. While I’m flattered, obviously I didn’t get paid for the card I probably got $100 back in the day. Anyway, this a cautionary tale for why work for hire sucks people.

Being a digital artist is exhausting 🤷‍♂️

ARTISTS! I'm sharing my contract template with simplified language and easy to fill in sections This will be most helpful for smaller clients bc corps have their own contracts But providing the contract will help protect you from giving away rights to your art! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

It's been a while since I've done a commission, but I'm delighted to be working again for a musical artist, Marian Tem. It was a real pleasure to work with Marian, who gave me a lot of freedom to interpret his music in an illustration. So many thanks to him for his trust ✨🖤✨ #art #surrealism

1/4 Well look at that. Open Ai and Google outright reject “Opt-Out” models, hell they even reject basic transparency requirements. AI companies demand they get everything, including our Intellectual Property, for free, and without anyone ever being able to tell the companies no.

Don't tell anyone but I think my dream is to make concept art for something that very few people would be interested in buying.

It's been a long time since i had the opportunity to work on First person guns. So i scratched the itch with these 3 Fantasy-themed weapons.

It's true.

QRP with your wings art! (Sorry I couldn't choose!)

Love seeing James Jean on here

Davi is an incredibly talented concept artist and really great person to work with. Please help give his work a boost!

As someone who’s been very into knitting the last few years this is a really interesting thread

Have fun drawing all day.

there are only 3 kinds of game producers. i will not explain

Okay revised the starter pack description to make it clearer. If u r a designer or illustrator please boost this to help me find other hiring directors. If u r an art, design, or creative director who hires designers and/or illustrators, raise your hand—I’ll add u. go.bsky.app/Hxoz9KX

Right? I’d move if I could but with many game industry companies going back on their remote promises, I become very distrustful if me or my partner have to look for work outside of an industry “hub”.

I do not know how to cope with the news right now. It has been beyond insanity.

A collection of the gouache paintings I did last month.

My mom does really beautiful, expressive, and insightful work, and I’m happy she’s making the move from insta to here. I hope you’ll give her work a follow.

Still completely surreal to me that Google chose to light its search engine on fire

I’m begging y’all to stop using this shit.

conscience 🎉 ✷

Some stuff i did for spiderverse 2

This is still my favorite thing on the internet.

Instagram is where I tend to post more of my traditional painting or hobby related things (mostly plants, my garden, my houseplants, random outdoor plants…), but I’ve been really enjoying painting in gouache lately. Debating if it’s worth posting here too?

Look at this good little lizard just chillin’. (I am sure he is not agonizing over whether he is being appropriately productive with his time off. Which I am def not doing, no, I’m very centered and well adjusted).
