in honor of themb i'm posting this little comic i did like. a year or two ago. (1/2)

#astarion #miminofwaterdeep #bg3 #tavstarion #dedesdoodles

Astarion and Mimin (a long-haired tiefling woman, with satyr-like ears and spiraling horns) share a bedroll in their tent, asleep. Astarion has his arms crossed over his lap in meditation, whilst Mimin is tucked-in.

Mimin stirs in her sleep, grasping at Astarion's sleeve. Astarion's eyes peek open.

As Mimin blindly cuddles up to Astarion, Astarion immediately makes room for her, interrupting his own mediation to adjust the blanket around her.

Astarion hugs Mimin, kissing her on the forehead.

dropping the act

A darkened, tiled room, like a morgue or a bathroom, lit by flashlight or something similar. A humanoid creature like an old man, but wrong, crawls on all fours towards the viewer. Its features are peaceful, as if it is asleep, but on closer look we can see that that is a false face, and a jaw full of sharp teeth hangs open below its chin. Its real eyes are beady little black spots on either side of its forehead.

heads up that bluesky doesnt show posts from other languages by default on your timeline, and its cutting you off from a lot of the community

go to bsky.app/settings/lan... and deselect any language from this setting, or else you might not see any of the new japanese users at all!

so the ai comes up with the “concept” part of concept art, and THEN the world class artists photobash and paint over the concept that nobody could be fucked to conceptualize.

Again I say: how fucking interesting that remote work technology is bad and not worth adopting despite all research pointing to productivity gains, but genAI which offers NOTHING is so important to adopt and force on people who have no use for it despite all the horrible things genAI does

JS: Speaking of efficiency, you've spoken a little bit about generative AI. And I know that that's been a point of discussion on the team, too. Do you feel like it can speed up production?
really do the thing. Everything is human actors; we are writing everything
JS: What about concept art?
JS: The other thing that I've seen that being used for more and more is placeholders, stub dialogue.
SV: Well, yes. So it depends on the scripter. In our case what we do is whiteboxing means that the scripts put stub text in there. Some scripters will probably use a chatGPT, some will write it themselves. It's really up to them--
JS: But you found that it's not actually speeding things up. It's just kind of allowing more experimentation.
SV: Well, in the sense that speeds it up because your experimentation is broader.
the contrary,
and it's not as
to it re because seeperg entag on te roader Bapp mean is tiere's gust their dialoguns are sudden being youte aste chat on
it helps you organize things, gets you a faster--
JS: Until it screws up and--
SV: Right. You still will always have to alter it yourself. And I mean like I'm non-native English, so it's easier for me to make my phrases without mistakes. So it helps with that.

JS: Until it screws up and--
SV: Right. You still will always have to alter it yourself. And I mean like I'm non-native English, so it's easier for me to make my phrases without mistakes. So it helps with that.
JS: To write your company emails.

SV: No, no, no, no. I mean I like putting it in there to see okay, this is a clean version of my text. So what's happening is I write with worse grammar now and then I use it to clean up my text and then I have to go over it again to clean it up again.
JS: That seems like it would take more time.
SV: Yes, I know. But I have the feeling like my phrases are better.
JS: Your English is pretty good. You don't have to worry that much.
SV: I think experimentation, white boxing, some broader white boxing, lots and lots of applications and retargeting and Cleaning and editing. These are things that just really take a lot of time. So that allows you to do more. So there's a lot of value there in terms of the creative process itself. It helps in doing things. But Ihaven't seen the acceleration. So I'm really curious to see because there's all studios that said, oh, this is gonna accelerate... if you look at the state of the art of video games today, these are still in their infancy. Will they eventually manage to do that at large scale? I don't know how much data centers they're gonna need to be able to do it.
JS: It doesn't seem like it's causing more efficiency, so why use it?
SV: This is a tech driven industry, so you try stuff. You can't afford not to try things because if somebody finds the golden egg and you're not using it, you're dead in this industry.

JS: OK, but the downside though is that it's so poisonous, controversial to players, to artists, to creative people in a way that other tech isn't. Maybe Photoshop used to be back in the day?

SV: I think you would find the same
argument back in the days for a lot of things, right? Anything that was has been automated has always considered - I think the
part of this job is to make sure that you are competitive and state of the art. So if you don't look at the state of the art, you will eventually regret it. That's gonna be even worse for the developers.

If I had known the two paragraphs about genAI in my article today would be so controversial, I would have expanded them a bit! Here's a rough transcript of the relevant portion of my interview with Swen Vincke, so everyone has all the context. (Full article here: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...)

Using gen ai for text and asset placeholders is not solving a problem; games have been made for decades with regular placeholders. studios using AI this way are just testing the water to see what more they can get away with - which will inevitably mean laying off skilled workers, to make worse games

reminder that genAI hurts your credibility as a creator, even if you're """just""" using it for menial tasks like...placeholder text (as if you can't just slap your hand on a keyboard for placeholder text).

sketch - memento💍

A star-drenched velvet black hound clenches the moon with an open mouth. Its left eye peers at you, commanding and begging you to not reincarnate. do not reincarnate. do not reincarnate. do not reincarnate.

Sometimes you just have to go.

Feeling this piece rather strongly today.

A gleaming band separates the head and body of a child's silhouette marked by glittering stars. They're standing in an open plain, facing a wall of cumulus. It's okay for them to go home now, there wasn't anything of value for them here.

i have complicated feelings about black friday and the consumerism that surges during the holidays, but, alas, my career is based upon the sale of objects. at least books are a pretty good object to own!

bookshop is doing free shipping through sunday! get hunger's bite!
bookshop.org/a/117708/978...

the cast of hunger's bite in winter clothes. emery and honeycutt carry a lot of heavy items marked down for sale. neeta and wick stand in the front looking awkward, carrying books.
HONEYCUTT: Black Friday! My favorite holiday!
NEETA: At least we're supporting independent bookstores...?

The Flayed Man’s Tale~ another concept design for @realgdt.bsky.social incredible FRANKENSTEIN! Always a wonderful collaboration with Guillermo and the amazing Mike Hill, working over in-progress body sculpt pics & trying different head/ jaw designs (originally a screaming skull in early concept)!
