#Artober2025 Day 10: We've been meaning to visit Leoda's pie shop since last time we were in Maui a few years ago, so we were happy to finally check it out. Their banana cream pie (as well as their avocado cucumber sammie) was SO good. Highly recommend!

#Artober2025 Day 9: New page, new set of blobs. Color palette inspired by Hawaii since we're in Maui. Guest artist collab w/ @scionk.bsky.social who painted the watercolor blobs. This one is a loose interpretation of a flame angelfish. Their real life silhouette is smaller, tho.

Hey all, my husband @kevinonthelam.bsky.social found out that he’s going to be laid off next month. 🥺He’s a Staff Character Animator who has been working on The Outer Worlds 2. We’d greatly appreciate any leads that you have, because times are expensive and we have two little boys. 🙏 Thank you!

#Artober2025: Day 1 I was an inspired by an artist who did #blobtober where they drew over watercolor blobs. But, my first go at it was pretty bad. My son said, "Don't call your drawing bad because others have called it good. And if you worked so hard on it, other people will call it good." 🥹

It's hard finding time to draw on location with 2 kids, so I took a few ref pics while visiting the Jersey Shore and then drew them later with the new acrylic markers I got for my birthday. Here are a few scenes from my July. It's been so nice visiting home, and even more so, sketching it. 😊

Experimenting w/ new materials while drawing places from my childhood. This is based off a photo I took of the Jersey Shore while visiting my family last month.

#hourlycomicday was 5 months ago, but the only number I’m counting are the 2 kids I now have. 😅 (1/2)

If you're still thinking to yourself: I've got *plenty* of time to play the Ambrosia Sky demo, well, you're not... technically wrong. BUT that time will go by fast, and this will (let's pretend) be our last reminder, so this is your sign! store.steampowered.com/app/3716830/...

CEO compensation graphed next to employee compensation. 🙃

My simple Maya viewport cel shading tool is released! It automatically finds materials to switch to cel shaded versions, and is easy to adjust There is also a guide included along with tips on how to use it Link below

I don’t know who at Bandai Namco made this but it couldn’t not be any clearer that they spent their life making AMVs, saw their moment to shine, and did not hesitate.

look, I don’t have much positive to say about jobs right now. but growing your creative skills is never a waste. in a world that prioritizes “good enough for non-experts” and the simulacra of competence, growing a practice of critical and artistic thought helps you from sliding down into the muck.

Making art looks a little different now as a mother of 2. As the parenting adage goes: 1/2 the work done in 2x the amount of time. Then, out of the corner of my eye, past my desk, my older son is drawing with me, and I'm suddenly feeling less guilty about all my unfinished drawings.

How do I capture those rolls?!

I did a livestream a whiles back about basic animation blueprints. It's a bit long, but I've been told it was good! Hope it helps! www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9od...

It's been a while since I've done this, and the world is bleak - so we can all use a little art & creativity. What is everyone creating nowadays? Games, art, music, video, writing, anything - whether it is early, almost done, or just shipped. Feel free to include trailers, images, links - whatever.

This GDC was a perfect demonstration of what I've been feeling for a long time--the industry won't save us. The executives won't save us. So we have to put the work in to save each other, because the only way any of us are making it through this is together. And this week that community was there.

#WhatAGameDevLooksLike now has a feed you can follow on Bluesky!! Hopefully this makes it easier for people to find all the posts and share/amplify them. HUGE props to @singingpigs.online for the suggestion and helping get it set up! 💖

Working on Skyrim remains one of the highlights of my career. It was such a special time w/ the right mix of passionate and talented devs.

Hi, I'm Lianne! I've been animating in the game industry for over 15 years. 1st pic = current status, living the newborn life 2nd pic = pumping in a mocap suit during one of my previous projects #WhatAGameDevLooksLike

I just got word that this exact person is indeed at GDC again this year, so please keep an eye out.

Every GDC is someone's first. After every GDC, we hear about mistreatment, assaults, and other horror stories. Conference vets, share your tips for a #safeGDC! I'll start: do NOT. under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. take meetings in someone's hotel room.

one of the best things you'll ever read on human nature and atrocity and how it shapes us and all who come after short but so powerful

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

We could really use everyone’s help!

can't believe it's 2025 and i'm stressed about tariffs and measles, like am i a character in an american girl book

Here’s some of my favorite pages from The Art of Treasure Planet. **More under the cut** #artbook

✨💌USEFUL LINKS FOR ARTISTS🎨🍊: A 200+ link spreadsheet of some of the best references and websites out there, for free on google sheets! This blew up on twitter ages ago, and I just went through and tested all the links and added more. send to ya buds <3 docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Anybody positing that the problem with the games industry is that devs are too expensive is gonna get an instant block. For the cost of one EA CEO you could afford 213 devs making $120k apiece. Read the room, my dudes; a LOT of very skilled people are out of work right now. Profits are trickling up

It's only at 4am while I'm nursing my newborn that I suddenly get all these ideas for drawing.
