"Claim your stardust, comet to life." ☄️ Another Posca marker dragon~ Technically a WIP but stopped here because I love how it is. 💞

I don’t think JJK is amazing, but it’s without a doubt the most fun I’ve ever had reading a shonen week to week. I went into every chapter never knowing what to expect.

Most of these ingredients will last months to a year. Even then there’s often seasoning packets/sauce jars that do well enough if you don’t wish to buy individual ingredients.

I really wish I liked the Fallout show more than I do. This season had some nice highs, but pretty empty for the most part. Really feels like it would’ve benefited from 10 episodes instead of 8.

Sometimes I’m stunned about how dogshit Adobe is.

For the next two weeks Alamo Drafthouse is showing episodes from Twin Peaks and I’m getting in on that, I’m so excited!

All games should aspire to be “Baba is You”.

The Fallout show is good but it’s one of the rare examples where releasing all of the episodes or at least doing weekly blocks of episode would’ve been preferable to one episode a week.

That Bears/Packers game was incredible.

So when did this anti-ray tracing/path tracing trend in gaming communities start?

Couples that have opposing sports teams as their favorites are genuinely so cute.

2025 was a bad year for a lot of reasons, but I found the love of my life so you know, balances and all that.

Hello! It's been a year and some change since I was laid-off from my previous job, and I'd love a new one. My name is Steve and I have 7 years of experience in the animation industry as a background artist and illustrator. I've worked on shows like Castlevania, and card games like MtG!

Watching The Price is Right at my parents and this is the true Christmas vibe.

Truly hope I get to work in animation again one day but it’s looking pretty rough.

Can’t catch a break I guess

Yall weren’t kidding about Wicked 2 not having any good songs

I’ve played the games, but I finally started reading the first Witcher book, The Last Wish. It’s actually so good, the best parts involving one on one conversations between Geralt and the various characters.

Even if you don’t care about the WB merger from an artistic perspective, it’s just worse for long term business, and an incredibly large amount of employees will be hurt by it.

I’m not so naive to ask whether art has ever been in as much danger as today (compared to literal book burnings), but it sure feels existentially ominous on a level never seen before.

Gonna do a painting of Oahu

Slowly becoming a hat guy, please clap

Me looking at New York, Jersey, and Virginia tonight

Help I can’t stop

Seeing a professional artist on the other site go viral with an AI meme

This image is funny but legit this is how 3D art feels like to me. The way I talk to other artists about shader node groups may as well be like two wizards sharing magical runes between each other.

I think I finally am cracking the code on this 3D-Ghibli stuff. I watched an amazing tutorial on the trees from @AversionReality that really helped me understand shader nodes way better. I'm also using assets from @Reipart_ (The grass) and @FaruqTawsif (The flowers).

Waffling back and forth on whether I wanna get the new Pokemon game.

Someone showed me the beauty of custom normals

Alright we're getting places

Experimenting with Ghibli-style trees in Blender. Most of this is based off of @FaruqTawsif's amazing Ghibli-inspired asset library (link below), but I modified it to have a camera-vectored shadow texture on top, and a custom texture for the tree mesh itself.

Still thinking about Chicago, such a beautiful city.

Hell yeah

Saw “Perfect Blue” for the first time today. Y’all…animation is so beautiful.

I’m starting to come to the very toxic opinion that Bilewater is my favorite area in Silksong. I’m not even joking.

A few weeks out from finishing Silksong, and I think the Citadel may be one of my favorite levels in all of games.

Detroit Lions - 38 Baltimore Ravens - 30

Weirdly annoyed that Hornet never says SHAW in Silksong.

It’s finally time.

We did it yall

There’s a LOT of bullshit in Silksong that I defend, but not being able to farm shell shards in the final area is insane. Sekiro, a game that also requires you to spend currency to craft tools, even allowed you to go somewhere else to farm said currency.

*Vague Silksong spoilers* I feel like Team Cherry does a great job of making familiar areas feel super creepy upon revisiting. In Hollow Knight, it was Crossroads, and in Silksong it’s definitely Wormways.

Hard to feel any semblance of optimism for the future of this country.
