as a creative, I loove a challenge so before I even start anything new I make it super challenging for myself so I immediately get overwhelmed at never start but feel exhausted like I've done the thing and – Oh.

fucking up the paper has been the best decision I've made with this sketchbook. I've since used it much more freely again! I used to have no problems filling sketchbooks (I filled over 40) but for some reason last year I got it into my head that I needed to be more neat or sth which is bs #art

it's honestly baffling how little effort these people are willing to put in, even if you'd argue that they use the AI as a tool. No, they are unwilling to lift a single finger. (2/4)

on a more positive note, I'm really feeling inspired to make some of my own colouring pages (I'll add that to my never-shortening list of things I want to make and offer for download 😅) maybe I'll start with some simple, small designs in my free time!

Horses of Hoofprint Bay got a few shoutouts in this article 🥰

I'm suddenly obsessed with colouring books (the tiktok girlies finally got to me) and then I saw a couple tutorials on how to add to the soulless AI cash grab colouring book slop that currently plagues amazon selfpublishing. (1/4)

back to working on our game after a much needed christmas break! Actually had to move my desk setup out of the way for some construction so I couldn’t work even by accident ;) that was good as sometimes I‘m bad at taking proper breaks 🌿 but now it’s back in its place which is also good!! 💜

Love this!

Slowly adding to my Venus restyle (before & after) I repainted her makeup and shoes. Working on clothing but it all takes forever #monsterhigh #dollcustomizing

Some favourite Monster High dolls. They make me so happy when I look at them. The designs, their little faces, the little bit of creative expression to style them, touching the hair and clothing textures! Idk why it’s just great #monsterhigh #dollcollector

Committed to fuck up this bad sketchbook paper that can‘t handle water #sketchbook #artistsonbsky

I‘m the Do All The Things At Once ™️ type creative and I just gotta accept that (though the pile of half started prjects and ideas in 50 different mediums at any given time are always on the verge of overwhelming me 😅)

huge year for horse girls

Happy New Year!! 🥳🥂 celebrated with friends and borrowed @asurocks.bsky.social s beautiful selfie spot 🥰 even if my phone camera is a bit shit 😅

maybe in 2026 I'll try to find a creature animator with AAA experience who can join me on a deep dive to figure out why horse leg IK goes wrong with such consistency. Do I have any friends of friends who work at AAA studios that have made games with horses and could get me a relevant interviewee? 😇

Thinking about what I accomplished this year and what I want to focus on next year. I‘d love to finally tackle oil painting, and improve my character design skills, & have fun sketching again! With all that’s been going on (even if it was good things) I‘ve barely drawn anything for myself this year

So I spent a nice 4 hours of my life taking my 3D printer apart because it stopped working only to find this tiny piece of molten filament clogged the extruder and the cleaning tool didn‘t catch it

Computerspiele die ich in meinem Leben noch machen möchte: - ein Spiel aus Knete - ein Spiel das 5€ kostet - Ratten #indiedev

good news there's hand-drawn thingies in this game that you can pick up and click and I just think that's neat

how to block "AI experts" on LinkedIn

Easy. Lets get them into the weekend by 4pm. (Yes you get the rest of the week off too)

Enjoy a new gameplay clip from Horses of Hoofprint Bay today 🥰 The video shows the player filling up hay and water troughs, mucking out the stable, grooming their two mares (one of them is visibly pregnant!) and starting a stable upgrade for more space. What would you like to see next? 👀

sketchbook (faerie explorers) 🧚🏼 #sketchbook

Did you know, even though our official announcement was only recently, our artist Anna has actually been sharing behind-the-scenes art insights from our game for months 🤫😇 Check this out! First iteration sketch visuals on the left, mostly final art on the right 🥰

the assignment was to "look at a phenomenon" (natural or otherwise) and explain the movemnt to others. everyone had to choose 1 and do a 5 min presentation (animation itself wasn't required but I wanted to test my knowledge). best animation assignment I ever got! #2danimation #framebyframe

Not satisfied with just destroying their own brand goodwill, OS companies are now using AI to try to destroy the good names of the apps users install. (Scrivener taking out adds to explain how it has no AI but Apple adds some anyway.)

A new virtual pet from Takara Tomy allows you to physically interact with over 150 Pokemon by petting the top of the device. "Every time you pet your Pokémon, you'll become closer to it." www.takaratomy.co.jp/english/prod...

sadly didn't have time or energy to do my favourite art challenge this year (and no, you can't do 30 drawings in rainbow order every other time of the year, are you crazy) but I look back on these ponies fondly! 🌈

so many people ask "will the game be free?" and I'm sitting here lowkey like "why tf would it be free" 🙈 #indiedev

torn between dark faerie grunge and happy petterson-and-findus-core
