Love the Baymax Lorcana card art by Jared Mathews and tried to draw that as well. I’d love to get the original art on a t-shirt or something.

I failed a job interview last year because I was over 35. The agent told me he's never been able to place anyone over 30 at a games studio. Approaching 40 and my interest in art and my ability is growing and improving exponentially. Fuck that guy.

The LC project is just something I'm having fun with in my free time. It may never be something anyone else ever play. I have no plans to collaborate on the project as I have zero funds to properly compensate contributions. (I will not accept free labor! Artists should be paid for their skills.)

Bought some ink pens and nibs today. Drew a cat and tried to draw a deer. I love how the metal nib pens feel to use.

Every day I look at the art for this game and I think I love it more each time. This art style just looks so cool to me.

If you want to see some really nice indie game art, throw "ATTENTION INDIEDEVS" into the bluesky search bar. Finding so many really good looking projects to follow today.

The reality of working as a teacher; I have been ill with five different infections since returning to work on January 5th. I have never been sick more frequently, or with such a variety of illnesses, than during my time as a teacher. 🤢 😷 🤢 😷

Where do people post their artwork and creative projects these days? I logged into artstation for the first time in years and hated everything about the new layout (the AI BS not withstanding).

Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.

Just sat with someone for 8 hours while they tried to use ChatGPT to code an elevator to show me how "good" AI is now... They ended up with an utterly broken mess. At least I got some drawing done. AI gamedev is trash.

train wreck discourse seems to be implying that "game design" isn't art and more akin to pulling the wings off a butterfly. Spontaneous and holistic game creation only?

There's no need to "host" a hastag, it only give you visibility and buries everyone who replies while boosting you. It's so insincere and self serving. Encourage others to use the hastags independently. I was hoping this would disappear with twitter.

Well these have a depressing number of upvotes on the Steam SubReddit. I guess not paying humans and using AI slop can now be called an artistic choice.

'watch-dev'. On the one hand, was an interesting challenge thinking of a game that made sense on the form factor. Only radial game I could think of was old school Tempest. On the other, these devices clearly aren't made for it. I rinsed the battery in no time!

The fact that no one outside of DMA could see the potential of something as blatantly futuristic as GTA3 shows just how myopic and weak-willed all of the suits, publishers and executives are in the gaming space. anyone with a soul could see this was special

Spent my entire day in various doctors clinics and drew this unseen scene from one of my favorite games to feel better. If I feel better I’ll go over it again and get it finished. It’s almost time for my semiannual play through of Grim Fandango too.
