Its a really bizarre state you find yourself in when you work so much on commercial art that it becomes difficult to share. Because then, you stop existing, so to exist, you have to work double to make more, other art, which then doesn't represent your main career. So to solve that you have to -

My artwork is in the latest Edge magazine, as part of an interview with the lovely @danthat.bsky.social

On the way to Brighton for Develop while frantically trying to tweak my website while on the train cos I'm a cooool guy. Will I do it in time? NOPE. See you in Brighton!

Another clever art tool! People are making beautiful tools for free. The internet is healing!

This is really *really* good. Even if you're not a pixel artist, check it out for the novelty alone.

I’ve never been a fan of Instagram anyway, but everytime I check now it’s non-stop fake AI posts of celebrities. I tried to mark one as inappropriate (Harry Potter characters undressing, but of course) but the button magically didn’t work.

Everyone else seems to be doing it, so I'll say that I'll be at Develop as well. Looking forward to talking games and such. If you need me for any work please come and chat!

I didn't have time to do anything for NiGHTS 30th anniversary, so here's one I did for the 25th anniversary!

Still a game that’s in my top 10. Beautiful game!

I made two Robots playing Basketball. It's what those computers in the AI data centres are going to do once the AI fad is finally dead.

I'm seeing double today, apparently

Yes, but please keep them in their box. That image makes me nervous.

Got a new computer, moved everything over and it just works perfectly - EXCEPT for Adobe apps. Of course! Of course...

The solution is so simple, folks. We go back to making MegaDrive games.

If you need audio, Jake is both amazing and a fantastic guy:

Oh cool, Art of Fighting 3 Bristolian edition... My loverrrr

I had to politely list reasons why AI is bad to someone on a forum and all of the responses are along the lines of "I use it everyday and it's no problem" I just find it shocking that some are so self-absorbed to overlook climate change, problematic billionaires, ruining cities etc

Earth Must Die is an unbelievable 4️⃣0️⃣ percent off in the #steamsummersale! 8 hours of high quality rude cartoon comedy for a bargain price! QUICK, get on it, please. store.steampowered.com/app/3639780/...

As storage and RAM prices skyrocket and make powerful PCs and consoles feel increasingly out of reach, there's only one real option: Everyone go back to 2D

I feel sorry for every ‘Al’ (Alastair/Alan/Albert etc) out there, as I read it as A.I. And think “god, what has AI done now” but it’s just some poor guy

I’ve done some solid improv on the door stop here (It’s in a bag just in case it falls over…)

Somehow I missed last years Love Death + Robots 4. So I watched that instead of feetball. It was good. As always, the Robert Valley one was the best (400 boys) but they’re all great!

Happy 35th to Sonic! The age where he's working hard, possibly with some kids at home, doing the right thing and being an upstanding citizen.

Some life drawing for today. It's been a while since I've actually drawn anything, so it's nice to do some practice.

All future consoles may cost a bare minimum of $1000 but at least you can ask chatgpt if it's raining outside

I made a new blog post! (Did you know I had a blog??) Spine Must Die! A description on how we had to break Spine to make the characters in Earth Must Die work: 2dforever.com/blog/spine-m...

Someone actually crunched the numbers, and using GenAI can decrease reviews for indie game on Steam (a useful proxy stat for sales) by as much as *58%* 🤖

I don’t normally post pics of myself online, but here ya go. For cool kids only.

Sonic Mania for two bucks is a steal.

I know it's basically been the same art concept since GTA3, but the original use is still my favourite. Look at these characters! No ultra-realistic game could hope to capture that.

Buy a brilliant game at a brilliant price! 🥊

A really misleading title, but this is an excellent video covering SNK’s history if you’re a weirdo like me: youtu.be/ojxn1ucTX0M

Copy Metal Slug’s homework but make it slightly different:

I love that instead of slapping in pre-rendered sprites, Playtonic are using 3D models with a pixelated shader on top. Why do things the easy way, eh? (I don't 100% know for sure, but look how the light moves)

Why not. Artists, Quote with your yellow art!

Oh! I can share this publicly now. Here's the keyart I did for Kitaria Fables 2. Look at them all, so very cute.

very happy to see that the oot remake sticks to its localized title in the german version

The switch 2 is the new 3DS with these remakes. They better add street pass soon!

Crazy Taxi Worldtour looks good. Although I hate the Fortnite-ification of the characters. The original artwork had so much charm and character!

Im opening a few slots for character commissions to cover some expenses! Comment to claim! ✨

I feel like I’m the only one who cares but I am very excited about Virtua Fighter 6 :)

Me: I'm feeling jaded by all of these over the top cinematic games. Also me: Time to sit through 3 hours of Kojima cut scenes!

I know it’s easier said than done, but I highly recommend making your own website. My site has no adverts, no cookies and definitely no AI!

Oh these logos are all very cool! I love all of these designs, why don't they make them like this anymore? Oh, I see. A Y2K logo collection... right, makes sense. www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1...

Obligatory microwave scene day

Look at the number going up and think of children getting bombed, people starving to death and the boiling ocean isaiprofitable.com

I’m pretty sure I didn’t play a single UE5 game. (Unless they had UE5 secretly running on the MegaDrive)

HYPER-BOWL instead of hyperbole. It’s just so much more fun to say.

I am once again begging, praying, weeping for lists of written instructions rather than videos. I do not want to watch your two minute video in the hope of catching the two seconds where you whizz past what goddamn menu the thing is under. Write. It. Down.

Maybe it's just a *me* thing as no one else seems to mention it... but it's worth giving your drawing tablet a good clean and de-greasing now and then. Yeeeuk.
