This f**ker.
This f**ker is the most annoying video game enemy of all time.
If you know what it is and what it's from, you know why.
Prezzie-stealing little sh*t.

Art vs Artist 2025.
Some of my fave pics of the year.
The pinups are almost always practice or test pieces, where I try something out or try to improve a technique I like. On completing each of these I felt I got a leeettle bit better, which is what the art process is all about!

Spotted a question elsewhere (posed by one taking umbrage at the positive reaction to new Tomb Raider trailers); "Do characters HAVE to be sexy?"
If targeting a specific market, it helps, but generally, no.
They DO have to be visually interesting. Bland designs are forgotten.

WTF?! I had "The Mask" playing in the background. It finished and I opened a news tab.
First story: "Peter Greene. Dead."
(He played Dorian Tyrell).

I see Demis Hassabis is among the crowd on that "AI Person Of The Year" Time Magazine cover.
I remember reading about him in Edge, years ago....
.... when he was making "Evil Genius"....
.... a game about subjugating the population of the planet.
Red flags are easy to spot with hindsight.

I like "every day carry" pouches. I always travel with one of some kind.
Put together an arty one: notepad, sketchbook, pens, ready readers and a clip light.
Put the phone down. Be a creator, not a consumer.

Any time I comment on shootings in the US, I invariably get told that "you need guns to defend against tyranny".
