Love this from Guillermo del Toro
“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

Reframing my GM mindset from “challenge comes from threatening the PCs’ lives” to “challenge comes from threatening their goals” has made my experience at the table more fun.

The tension can come from the chance of them completing their goals rather than the possibility of death.

As expected, of the Devil - Episode 2 has me by the throat. But one thing that got my brain working was a scene in which Diamani, Morgan's associate who owns a cocktail lounge, talks Serra through making a cocktail.

So here's my attempt at that cocktail: The Lady Maria! Uu-uu! #ofthedevil
The Lady Maria, a cocktail described in of the Devil - Episode 2. It is opaque and slightly green, served in a chilled coupe with a lime twist. It appears on a cutting board with a lime. In the foreground is the sprite of Maria from Umineko When They Cry. A screenshot from of the Devil - Episode 2 depicting The Lady Maria cocktail, a green opaque cocktail with light foam, a dehydrated lime wheel garnish, and a splash of red liquid cascading down the side. The image has a blurred filter reminiscent of Ryukishi07's photography, and the screen border has a floral pattern.

Gave my partner his Xmas present today, the cyberpunk Hornet mini! A little bit of final cleanup and detailing since I posted it last.

Sculpt is from Papsikels.

it turns out i really enjoy making educational posts about the comics making process and ways of thinking. here's another one featuring characters from my graphic novel in a very anachronistic art museum.

(continues below!)
image of wick, neeta, and emery in an art museum. they're not shaded and they're inked with the same line widths. NEETA: It says here that there's a lot of ways artists can create depth and visual interest in their work. same image, edited to involve spot blacks and halftones in the inks NEETA: Such as inking with lighting in mind--using heavier lines where there would be shadows. Spot blacks and halftone add places of contrast and visual interest. same image, but neeta, emery, and the background are slightly lighter and grayer. NEETA: Atmospheric perspective is a decent way to achieve depth. Far away things have less contrast and less saturation. Compare a tree nearby to a tree down a road. It's done here using simple screen layers. EMERY: That's subtle. same image, but wick has been shaded much darker and emery and neeta have a warm overlay. NEETA: you can also achieve depth and focus with color contrast. the figure in front is dark and cool, and the figures in back are bright and warm.

If we can only have art from people who "aren't in it for the money" that means we can only have art from privileged middle-class dilettantes. Making art being a viable career is responsible for nearly all worthwhile art, and if it's not a viable career any more we will get drastically less of it.

This isn't a Halloween treat, but I wanted to draw something to celebrate the announcement of the Starforce Legacy Collection! I can't wait for this game to come out next year! :D

An art piece of MegaMan.EXE (left), Starforce MegaMan and Omega-Xis (center), and Rock in his Beta Starforce costume from 11 (right), pointing their busters up high to a starry sky with joy! In the center of the stars, is the form of Geo's pendant as a constellation, paying homage to Starforce 1's 100% Completion screen; which is illuminating the three Blue Bombers.

I can safely say, however, this is the best placeholder titlescreen I've ever made.

Posted to my table because I thought it was charmingly evocative, but then someone asked “how many of these are neurodivergent symptoms”

Which uh…

Huh!

if there's anything you can learn from undertale, it's that if your friends are super into something, you should put some of that stuff in the things you make. not just to make them smile, but because it will probably end up making a whole lot of other people smile, too.

In Super Mario Odyssey, kicking things is Mario's highest priority, overriding all other actions. If a kickable object, such as a football, is thrown at Mario while he is asleep, he will momentarily wake up just to kick it before instantly going back to sleep.

UNLIMITED VELOCITY
One of the ways that LLM-authored code improves productivity is by merely SAYING it does things. It's way faster than the whole time-consuming process of actually doing things. This is real code someone sent to me for review. A screenshot of a code editor. The line numbers are in the lefthand column, running from 121 to 125. There is a comment that says "Verify packages were created and check sizes" Then line 123 says echo Verifying Lambda packages were created... and Line 124 says echo checkmark emoji colon All Lambda packages verified successfully. There is no line in here that actually did anything.
