AI users, after it falls out of favor and collapses, will then be competing for jobs with people who *didnt* forfeit years of skill development. People who were our peers in 2020 will essentially have fallen 6-7 years behind.

if "gen ai" models can take our work, i'm gonna start taking back. my body of work definitely helped train these models. so I worked on Divinity now

When I was 8, I watched a “how to draw Spirit [the horse]” special feature, where James Baxter sits at a desk, in an office, drawing for work. This was huge news. I imagined packing my dad’s briefcase with colored pencils and printer paper on my way to The Drawing Office. I had to make it there!

if your values hit this won't matter! beyond that, color is relative anyway, so it's not about the hex code but instead the relationship between colors in your piece. if your hue turns are so minor and precise as to be ruined on a different monitor, then I guarantee they're not working anyhow

much to think about

Night Migration Oil, 30x20in, 2024 at @ixarts.bsky.social Art Show next month! In our night sky there is a dark band that runs through the Milky Way, known as the Great Rift. This darkness is where the stars of our galaxy are obscured by vast clouds of interstellar dust and geese … er, gas.

oohhhh nooooo. it's coming for my jooooobbbb. oooohhhhhhhhh noooooooooooooo

Mm. If I had to guess, I think one reason art discourses like these happen so much is bc a lot of our workforce is really young and new, and there is very little opportunity to maintain institutional knowledge—a lot of our colleagues and forebears burn out and go elsewhere.

Do I (or do you?) know anybody who does commissioned digital art, is available, and can (with urgency) create an incredible, soft, ephemeral magical water painting-style piece? While I know tons of incredible game artists I sadly never paid too much attention to their waterpainterly work.

This is what all the refs in the thread were for! Capsule art for Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew 🏴‍☠️👻🌴

this is our former alley cat trying to calculate whether the promise of “couch” is too good to be true. it must be a mirage surely

today's reference:

#Portfolioday Featuring some titles I've had the pleasure of working on for @hoodedhorse.bsky.social!

here is some artwork i made about working from home

asking for thoughts and prayers as i navigate the "ugly phase" of this painting.... thankful for my loved ones

"ai" "art" has done a lot of horrible things. but by far the worst of them all is wasting my time, specifically (gathering a ref board takes way longer now)

BOO! 👻
