interviewing for a job i do not want

i want my job back i want my job back so bad i'm going insane. i can't believe i found something i truly enjoyed and made friends and then it was pulled away for some numbers on a spreadsheet, for the sheer possibility they could do it without me if generative ai could fill the role. it cannot

did more of the details today, having fun w/ adding the hair strands

shes so noisy................. #chienocs #sketch #art

playing around in blender once again and i can't believe i had made some models without understanding the tools like at all. managing each individual vertex with the xyz widget and not knowing how to mirror so i would just grab each vertex and its opposite and use the scale tool. why did i do that

hmm blander

call my career a chevy malibu the way i'm "not moving forward"

it's been a little over two months and a week since i got laid off, the only interest i've gotten is for an amazon manufacturing position. they're hiring a ton right now to make a gov contract but like, as soon as they near the finish line they're just gonna lay everyone off right???

Sketchdump from my first warm-ups after like a week away of zero drawing 😅 #art

unemployment gave me the time+motivation to finally make a portfolio, tough it isn't helping a whole lot but thaaaaat's games work tomnovak.webflow.io

i'm really really trying to keep my head up, i'm working on my portfolio so i can apply to more roles, but god i really wish i could have my job back. i hate knowing i'll have to look back on it as just this miniscule, fleeting moment where i truly enjoyed my work

amazon job applications seriously treat you like a monkey in a cage. which chair is more stable, the chair with three legs or the one with four? what happens to the water when you tilt the cup? do you have any understanding of your worldly experience?

finally fixed the throttle position sensor on my girlfriend's miata, had to learn how to use a multimeter to figure out the right position. check engine light go away so i can worry about my own car instead

this year's artfight attacks

finally did a keyart piece for our old college capstone game since i'm trying to finish up my portfolio

now the rejections can start flowing in

Crikey. Was creeping through old work directories looking for Daikatana stuff, and found what _I think_ is the massout for the Doom3 Doomguy helmet. Hidden lightwave layer. I'm guessing I abandoned it for time (muh brain is old yo). #gamedev #doom3 #fps #idsoftware #characterart #boomershooter

yaey

dude i really wanted to participate more in artfight this year but now i'm PANICKING to find work after the xbox rapture, my luck my luck my bad bad luck

rough artfight attack for an old friend who i don't think is on here

a cat has simply shown up, what do you do

i didn't expect the xbox layoffs to take me too since i was with an ENTIRELY separate outsource studio assisting turn10, but i guess they said "of course phil spencer sir we'll fire the employees that you no longer desire yes sir"

aaawright i should be all set, got some descriptions to update but it'll do for now artfight.net/~tommunism

i've been using sai in the interim and it runs great but definitely feels a lot more limited in the brush system, maybe that's also just because i don't have my old brushes from csp but i'm a fish outta water

clip studio paint still giving me hell i don't think i'll be able to make good stuff for artfight this year

actually idont want to finish these anymore #art #eowk #oc #chienocs but yea, caro n dayong yay

still a lot more i wanna do to get ready for artfight but new character ref finished i think this is the first time i've come up with a comprehensible outfit

back on my old shit.. dan smith i used to do a lot of perspective practice when i was really active on social media, this didn't come out as interesting as i wanted it to but it's alright
