"Le Roi et l'oiseau" (1980) is a movie anyone remotely interested in animation and storytelling should watch. Was a huge influence when I was a kid.

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.

Lessons in laughter:

Dozens of you have shared this lovely video with me over the past couple days. And I just love that it illustrates two baby lessons in one. 🧵

What's with all 🌹The Name of the Rose🌹 posts today? Don't get me wrong; the movie adaptation had me BAWLING when a kid "All this knowledge! Nooon!😭" and still sits firmly at 1st place in my list.
Umberto Eco is a fantastic writer and everyone needs to pick any of his books (hint : Foucault)

fun fact:
Angel studios, who did the CG for Lawnmower Man, later transitioned into games. They did the excellent port of Resident evil 2 for Nintendo 64, before being bought out by Rockstar and eventually going on to be the main developer for Red Dead Redemption II

MGS1 Snake is 644 polygons of perfection

Someone DM'ed me asking for a link to a twitter tutorial I did on #gamedev topology.

The discussion was that even grid based meshes for characters VS topology that follows forms.

Best I can do is a quick repeat here.

To celebrate the remastering of THPS 3 & 4, I thought I would share my experience of working on the originals.

TEN bones!!! 🤯 😍

fun fact: if you draw fanart for a game within the first week of any sort of major PR event for it (announcement, demo, release etc) there is a 99% chance the entire dev team on the game knows who you are because they are doing nothing but reposting fanart in slack

If any now ex-Monolith (😟) developer reads this, Arkane Lyon is hiring several positions. Please apply, we’d be thrilled to have you with us. jobs.zenimax.com/jobs?departm...

I didn't know you could have so many thread/discussions opened at the same time on Slack. Kind of feels like my old IRC days. Albeit slightly more distopian.
But anyway fuck that day and free hugs for anyone that would need one. 😘

They grow up so fast! (scrolling cleanse)

Love the amount of nostalgia 3d flooding bluesky lately (the reason is not lost on me). But you all seem to have forgotten the legendary GALLERIE ABOMINATE, where it could've escaped from TBH. www.jackals-forge.com/abom.html

Been a while since we’ve had one so I’ve created a game animation starter pack. LMK in the comments if you wish to be added (or removed).

I got death threats for saying I was looking forward to the Wonder Woman film 🙃

In the process of selling all my art books, games, rare hardcovers, minis, comics, DVDs and... I feel like I'm disapearing.
Why is do we feel like our personality is tied to material stuff that inspires us?
Most of these are obscure and niche but were so formative as an artist.
UGH. #LetItGo?
