Sorry about making my portfolio stuff everyone's else problem - but last gripe - back in my day, adobe acrobat could at least reduce a PDF file size to something that could be sent by mail - now it has 5 AI assistants, but can't do that - even compression just makes a compressed version of big file

failing that, do any of you know of a good site to host a what would essentially be a pdf portfolio, maybe even password protected for NDA stuff? Basically it's impossible to send a PDF portfolio without compressing it to oblivion, and companies don't expect download links.

There was a post about portfolio advice going around yesterday that I forgot to save - i think it had a link to a page with the advice - in it it had recommendations for places to host online portfolios - did any of you happen to like or save it?

The apple mail app is truly the worst - I want to attach an image file, the simplest and purest form of email interaction, but no no , it's different and weird and doesn't work

Making an up-to-date portfolio this week - sifting through 6 years worth of work, finding the right amount of silhouettes, texture examples and design variations that would activate an Art Director and allow me to progress to the next level

Doom Eagle Space Marine - From a while back!

Castle in the Sky (not sure Nausicaa counts in this instance ?) - as well as being great, the fact that it was made in the 80’s and still looks great today is a real testimony to their craft

War Head - Rider of the F.0.R Horsemen - from my HELL-BENT project Pencils and colour!

Let's talk about generative AI, contaminated information, and rhubarb. Once upon a time, Europe was at war. Food was scarce, and the government of the quote-unquote United Kingdom looked for alternatives. 1/

applying for jobs this year which means I can't say my artwork sucks on the socials for a bit

Check it out! - looked very fun, also has some new art of mine in there

Every year on twitter I liked to antagonise the table top community by making fun of L-shaped warhammer 40k terrain - a tradition a may bring here next year

One thing I’ve realised as a concept artist for the last 6 years is that- everything has already been designed - so it’s up to you to make a concept that’s unique in the world it’s set in, while still being recognisably you, or recognisably from that world.

Is battlefield 6 worth playing? I Do want an almost mindless team multiplayer , but they’re so hot and miss since the World War One version (best version- fight me) , and I don’t trust gaming site reviews anymore

Legion of the Damned sketches

Eldar Corsair’s More old sketch work!

SALTED HEART - Concept work from my own project

Just found out you can jump on a choom from a height and take him out ! 66 hours in!!

There’s a golden point in the work day, usually 9-11 in the Morning, when I’m not fatigued enough to do detail work, not self-conscious enough to doubt the quality of my work, and not bored enough to allow myself to get distracted. How can I turn those 2 hours to 3 hours? Or a whole day?

Greyscale Illustrations - I've been trying out greyscale over the past few years - in a laughable effort to maybe shave a bit of time off my process (takes longer usually)

Getting my old new years resolution list out, for the 7th year running Get good at art Make something for myself Focus on one project Learn Blender None of these things have ever been crossed off

Interior scene illustrations for 'A Lot of Zereos' RPG - I tried something new with these - concentrating more on pen work - hopefully something I can start doing with physical inks at some point. Thanks for Andew's patience!

Update 6a for A Lot of Zeroes is out, featuring 3 pieces of beautiful art by @darkmechanic.bsky.social for the Lifestyles chapter. As that chapter is a part of the free 48 page excerpt for this game, you can enjoy all 3 pieces for free. half-apress.itch.io/a-lot-of-zer...

Is helldivers 2 good? I’m playing it and it is not good? I thought it was big battles sim , but it’s just me and another guy walking through fog?

What do we think fellow witchfinders, AI? Nowadays I’m more suspect of certain types of places suddenly using art , rather than scrutinising the art itself- charities being one of them

The thing I find funny/interesting about RPG’s, as someone whose started to play Cyberpunk 2077 recently, is that your bombarded by so many game mechanics at the beginning of the game that only a few can stick in your head, and it can define your game playthrough

The one good thing about having to use backup laptop after computer broke - using an older version of photoshop. Just simpler time .

The only reason I can see AI ‘being used as a tool during the creative process’ is unrealistic demands of time and volume put on creative by management, coupled with the ‘magic idea to life machine’ giving managers carte blanche to interfere in the process

DND Party Commission! Going to take a bit of time off after this week but looking to fill out my schedule after the new year, hit me up for freelance illustration projects!

making art on a laptop after working on a desktop since 2017

Had a catastrophic computer malfunction this morning, a day before backing up my most recent work to external and a shared drive – luckily dropbox may have saved my ass, although it’s still a mystery how or if it works

New street fighter but by The Raid guys , that’s what the world needs
