Merry Christmas! I have a preview of The Diamond's Gambit for you 💎 As I revealed a few months back, @jenericlive.com voiced Gallywix for this and it's too good not to share some of what he's done.

Now it's out, I can finally say that the very cool folks at Wild Blue Studios brought me in to do some graphics work for @avantris.bsky.social's latest merch drop! I did vectors/text treatments (with art done by amazing Ron Broyde and Lindsey Laney), the hat however is all my own letter work!

hitting 6.9k followers for christmas is Nice hi guys

Uh why not its basically Christmas! Let's do an artshare here for artists with under 1k followers. If youre an artist with 1k followers or less post some art below! Look to the artist on your left, now look to the artist on your right. Wow. Three artists. Very cool 😎

God more and more I’m so happy I detached myself from needing Twitter

I'm Robyn, a queer freelance artist from the UK. I've been working in graphic design for games for past 3 years but I also make illustrations, comics and animation (videos for stills in thread!). #portfolioday Contact and other spaces: rspanner.carrd.co

The best way (in my experience) to grow your audience is to follow and also make/share starter packs of artists you like. People are always hungry for more artists to follow and a starter pack with interesting artists always gets passed around. This is one I made bsky.app/profile/core...

Apparently Paypal is now asking those who commissioned artists through invoices for feedback on the experience, Please never type anything, Its a trap. Just putting both yours and their accounts at risk of bans.

emergency comms sale comms are on sale on my vgen, 25% off base and add-ons! 5 slots for basic lineart, 2 slots for rendered!! sharing is appreciated, as is just checking it out!! vgen.co/courtlune

Shoutout to commission clients who send crude mockups and stick figure drawings to get across the idea of what they want for their comm. You don't need advanced art skills to communicate concepts.

Regular reminder that the majority of the people who dreamed up the stories you love are, like, BROKE broke, and that most of the money spent on their work was given to Some Guy™️ instead.

✸ you'd have to stop the world just to stop the feeling!!! ✸ finally finished this piece over the weekend so i could have prints of it at the lesbian bar holiday market! #art #chappellroan

Art summary! I did a surprising amount of animated stuff looking back, it's nice to be able to show more of it compared to last year. And alongside all this, I managed to hit my professional goals! Very happy with this year 🎉

WoW study #worldofwarcraft #wow #art

I’ve asked for this to be posted after my death. I accepted government assistance in dying. I’m proud to have been part of the animation industry during my short career, and meeting lots of fun, interesting people. 1/

It's a beautiful coincidence, but finding out the video for this song came out the same day we got @kyletsetso.bsky.social's final message has me in pieces. Rest in peace, Kyle.

Going into 2026, a reminder for everyone who's fallen off the creative wagon, game dev, writing, art, music, whatever, no matter how long:

if youre not adding funny pattern inlays to your goblin jackets you are objectively doing it wrong

"concept artists can experiment with AI to make their lives easi-" wrong I smack you with Claire Hummel's immaculate and detailed understanding of costume design, which she got by studying historical references, which made her strong, which you will not become by relying on AI get good

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things. Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

Similar to how voice AI use has been suggested; for 'scratch' or reference. I know many actors, myself among them, who got jobs from the scratch work. Every example of AI being used I've seen is cutting away a job that someone coming up would take or get on their journey. Maybe that's the point.

The fact that the games industry is so dead-set on disregarding Concept Art as being part of the game it helps make is eternally frustrating to me. If the slop machine extrudes a design for you that you then force an artist to make "real", that still means there's AI generated content in the game.

Using genAI for concept art is so fucking stupid because like... that's where you get the cool shit. Thats the blue sky phase where artists make pieces of art that will be seen by a teenager later and change their life forever. Why would you want to start from mediocre. Why would you do that.

This is Charles Clyde Ebbets, the photographer who took the iconic “Lunch atop a Skyscraper” picture. Look at this fearless, dapper fuck wearing spats, suspenders, and a tie 850 feet above the ground. Absolute legend.

Got the WoW brainworms while working on my housing and really wanted to draw my void ethereal Crit as if he were a companion character or something for funsies.

all the news is making me want to explode so instead can you all tell me about your favorite human creators and why you love them??? (you know this is serious bc I am opening up my replies to everyone lol)

a reminder for the millionth time: your peers, NOT corporations, are making the media you want !!!!!!!!!

"video game mechanics?" Actually, they're called developers.

Saw this adorable French animation ad and I had to share it over here! The style looks familiar but I can’t my finger on what group it is. Any ideas?

happy friday losers

Blast from the past - the sad ending to my Maw Walker AU I did back in 2021, back when I was finally getting used to Storyboard Pro (I MISS IT SO MUCHHH AAAA). I still can't believe how well this music fit afterwards without a single timing edit.

The amount of people I know who have been laid off from games industry jobs and are deciding to leave games entirely as a result is not only extremely saddening (of course), but also genuinely scary. We have lost legitimately thousands of years of knowledge and experience in the last four years.
