Castle in the Sky (not sure Nausicaa counts in this instance ?) - as well as being great, the fact that it was made in the 80’s and still looks great today is a real testimony to their craft
In honor of Hayao Miyazaki's birthday, what's your favorite Studio Ghibli film? Doesn't have to be the one you think is "the best," just the one that nestled in your heart. Mine is Howl's Moving Castle.

Every year on twitter I liked to antagonise the table top community by making fun of L-shaped warhammer 40k terrain - a tradition a may bring here next year
What’s the funniest reason someone got mad at you on Bluesky this year?

One thing I’ve realised as a concept artist for the last 6 years is that- everything has already been designed - so it’s up to you to make a concept that’s unique in the world it’s set in, while still being recognisably you, or recognisably from that world.

Is battlefield 6 worth playing? I Do want an almost mindless team multiplayer , but they’re so hot and miss since the World War One version (best version- fight me) , and I don’t trust gaming site reviews anymore

Just found out you can jump on a choom from a height and take him out ! 66 hours in!!
The thing I find funny/interesting about RPG’s, as someone whose started to play Cyberpunk 2077 recently, is that your bombarded by so many game mechanics at the beginning of the game that only a few can stick in your head, and it can define your game playthrough

There’s a golden point in the work day, usually 9-11 in the Morning, when I’m not fatigued enough to do detail work, not self-conscious enough to doubt the quality of my work, and not bored enough to allow myself to get distracted.
How can I turn those 2 hours to 3 hours? Or a whole day?

Greyscale Illustrations -
I've been trying out greyscale over the past few years - in a laughable effort to maybe shave a bit of time off my process (takes longer usually)

Interior scene illustrations for 'A Lot of Zereos' RPG -
I tried something new with these - concentrating more on pen work - hopefully something I can start doing with physical inks at some point.
Thanks for Andew's patience!
