Our games industry is people. Our studios are people. Our teams people, our games by people for people. Our games are made by people, in groups of people, in teams of people, making people things for people. The magic is people, and the people deserve so much better than all this. I am so sorry.

My hubby is such a neat and cool and great guy

This whole thread

I think Nick's right, and there's value in seeing all these amazing looking games... but! I agree that game art direction has gotten worse. Because all the limits are essentially gone these days, there are very few technical hurdles forcing people to make good art decisions.

the demo for our roguelite+MegaMan-kinda game is out! you can try it on steam! we're a team of two queer devs who have a hard time competing with groups with marketing budgets and shit, so sharing and stuff is SUPER appreciated thanks! :3 store.steampowered.com/app/4297720/... #indiegame #gamedev

Remembering that the wildebeest stampede scene in Lion King took 3 years to make is making me feel things.

I lost so much progress in Fear and Hunger 2 last night. I know that is part of it. But I seek reassurance and emotional balm. (And yes I played [part of] the first game)

This week on Cartoon Therapy we are learning about Gaslighting. www.twitch.tv/cartoontherapy

Hello Bluesky! I think I'm ready to share some art again 🩷

My legal team is now working on copyright cases against SHEIN. They were the first place that counterfeits of my work started showing up and I am glad to be able to finally go after them. If you have had your art ripped, please contact Justice for Artists. They won a huge case for me last year.

Awesome to work with this team again! Check out Crescent Break!

Cartoon Therapy is on the front page of Twitch, drawing 100 Capybaras today! www.twitch.tv/cartoontherapy

I'm an artist that doesn't know how to escape her own shape language a lot of the time.

happy Tomodachi Life eve for those who celebrate.

🏳️‍⚧️DEAR TRANS CREATIVES🏳️‍⚧️ I’ll be doing my annual TDOV trans starter pack tomorrow. Why am I posting now? I need 7 of you to reply here today so I have the pack ready for tomorrow. If you want in & I know you, you can just reply with a hello If I don’t, please share your work & what you do. Thanks!

Let this be a lesson to the rest of the companies hawking AI shit, you make a novelty and a novelty is only novel for so long.

the game dev unemployment pool grows and grows.

wake me up! I can't wake up! save maayyyyy

My husband is very cool and experienced and skilled, and can art direct SO well, and someone should hire him. www.davidryanpaul.com

I donno if this makes me sound old, but I'm less and less interested in games that look JUST like real life, and more interested in games that have a neat art style. Even lower fidelity art styles that let your imagination fill in the details.

Another big update came out for Paradise Paws today! So here is some new concept art from me. Introducing the game's newest villain, Blair! The expression sheet was too much fun to make. Her in-game character animations came out so so so good.

New stupid scam alert. Scammers are now reaching out trying to get photos of your face to deep fake videos and con your friends and followers out of $$$ through counterfeit accounts. Fucking ridiculous.

Why do so many scammers do scams that target artists? WE DONT HAVE ANY MONEY.

Opinions seem pretty split down the middle, but I'm on the side of liking the new Gorillaz album quite a bit.

The first drawing I'm sharing from my Movinkpad Pro 14 is a creepy aye-aye.

Now that it is Chinese New Year (happy Year of the Horse!), I can share this matriarchal NPC I designed for Paradise Paws' Lunar New Year event!

Some of my favorite pixel pieces💎✨ #pixelart #cave #crystal #mushroom

I want to gush about Cartoon Therapy. I love it so much. Vince puts so much thought into the streams. Today's topic is defense mechanisms. Along with a dosage of "bombastic-ness" in his words www.twitch.tv/cartoontherapy

I'm gonna try out that movink pad pro 14 thing

so, a Procreate equivalent for Windows is out there, and it's called StylusX - it's $33, with a 7 day trial. It's pretty promising! I'm paying for the full version just because I want to see it updated. It has a long way to go.

I can finally share this concept art, now that the Firefly Valley has been released for Midas Merge! It's so hard to pick my favorites of these creatures. But it was so fun getting to work with so many bright colors and glowy effects for this garden.

OK this sucks for so many people and teams, majorly. Sucks you have no option to even keep the program you've been paying for. Unless someone comes up with a method.

This is starting in a few minutes!!

The 2024 Winter Garden is live in Midas Merge! I got to do a little edit to last year's promo illustration, to introduce the polar bears we added to this year's garden. I provided the sketches and color block ins, and our lovely principle artist Christine polished it for marketing. #art

Dug up some girl sketches, probably from a bit over a year ago.

A massive new illustration for Cartoon Thetapy on Twitch, to celebrate their latest film festival put on by the community. I adore this streamer and tried to cram in as many references and characters from the stream as I could!

The community at CartoonTherapy is cooking up a film festival that celebrates human creation! A bunch of people are trying their hands out at voice acting, animation, video editing, directing, etc for the first time. Because art is HUMAN! Check it out on 12/20 at twitch.tv/cartoontherapy

My friend Jack has a brand new comic on Kickstarter. Jack says that it's "A hard R. Like a 1980’s R. Adventure + horror + mystery." If this is your jam, please consider backing. Jack is an amazing artist that only draws awesome things! www.kickstarter.com/projects/fun...

chainsaw man movie was so good, I think I'll rewatch the series :v
