Box legendaries + their potential shiny variants
Also I should probably use a different word instead of "shiny"
I'm open to suggestions!!

I caught myself thinking "Damn, all these artists I follow hammer out amazing illustrations at least once a week. I started this 2 weeks ago".
But then I remembered that I work full time, enjoy multiple hobbies and that I'm a family man.
But it would be nice to do _more_.

Upcoming discovery mechanic in AstraX, a 2D space exploration game 🚀
It simulates mapping & exploring an entirely unknown world. Instead of showing data about planets, the UI shows discoveries you made of them
Orange&Green = implemented as of v0.7 (coming soon) #gamedev #indiegames #spacegame

"everybody is doing it" is the excuse a 15 year old uses to explain why they started smoking.
"If everybody you know jumps off a cliff, will you follow them?" Is the answer most parents give in that situation.
Don't be a sheep.

every single frame of animation, in-house developed sound effect, line of code, visual asset, chart, and line of dialogue was done by a human and done without using generative AI tools in the making of UNBEATABLE. relinquishing creative choices to tools makes your work empty, vapid, and meaningless

something I'm surprised gen AI discourse didn't hit yet is the attitude "I asked for it to be done, so I made it" has always been how rich people view using workers who have trained skills and do the technical side. they see themselves as creators for having an idea, we were just a means to that end

When you say you need good art to make comics and that's why you need generative ai, it signals to me the narrowness of your understanding of comics and why it is that you think you can't make them

my comics are janky as hell lmao i’m telling you now: you can just purposefully bake inconsistency into your vibes it’ll still be better than the prettiest inconsistent slop out there because comics are supposed to convey MEANING over aesthetic
honestly half the time simple/janky is better anyway

when I get perfectionist I remind myself that I'm not doing this to make a beautiful series of pictures. I'm doing it to tell a story, and no matter how pretty my art ends up being in the end, that's always going to be the thing that comes first

The thing is like if we want to fight back against prudery and sex negativity we also have to stop referring to stuff as 'gooner art' and accept that nsfw shit that reads as 'for the male gaze' has as much a right to exist as your favourite yaoi
