#artvsartist for 2025: 💜
Started with a big #pixelart commission project followed by 6 months of #gamedev as I learned #gamemaker programming and rebuilt 60% of demo systems for #Moonshell_Island. A challenging but satisfying year of growth for me. 💪🦀

Folks who don’t make things don’t realize that art is ALL process
The discovery and direction provided at the earliest concept stages is invaluable
Even programmer napkin drawings shape the vision
If you launder these crucial early steps through plagiarism machines, what are you even polishing?

Sorry I think using AI for placeholders is also bad
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I know you only care about finished art but placeholder art also needs to be made by a human being who also needs to be paid for that
But placeholder midjourney slop cuts that artist out

Republicans are looking for a way to bring back the AI moratorium
Congress’ last attempt to pause state AI regulations failed.

Backed by the Heritage Foundation and Big Tech, KOSA will force everyone to upload their ID to access the internet. In an age when Palantir has direct ties to ICE, where technofascists are in power and want to eliminate and censor everything, we CANNOT allow KOSA to pass.
It NEEDS mass pushback.

🚨‼️As of yesterday KOSA is at 64 cosponsors with @vanhollen.senate.gov + @kim.senate.gov - who claim to support LGTBQ+ rights but are clearly okay with supporting legislation that’ll censor us off the internet- newly signed on.

Some people think game dev an indulgent hobby, but I've never worked so hard, risked so much, overcame so many challenges, or faced so many fears in my life. The level of expectation and lack of resources to live up to them is insane. Please support indie devs. We need it.

someone on tumblr asked about what color palette I use.
I pretty much always use my own palettes. this is the one I used for most of the old pixel art I've been reposting here #pixelart
