This year I got to do a lot more concepts and personal stuff, that was so refreshing :) Doesn't make for a very flashy #artvsartist though, was kinda struggeling to find works that aren't sketches/bashes 😅

I'm still arranging the concept art I did for Age of Mythology into presentable formats. In the meantime, I made a little reddit AMA which features some work I did for the game. If anyone's interested, take a look!

A South African dev released a blackity black game during BHM and it's currently getting the usual suspects in the reviews.
Imma grab this up myself anyway, but can we all be some chums and help push the racists out of the reviews? 🙂

Posted this on FB, now posting it here: I want to see fun art. Can everyone do me a favor? Draw something in 2 minutes and comment what you come up with. Good, bad, silly, whatever. I just want to see humans make art and not the pervasive AI slop. Your art will create 1000 times more joy.

The quality of art is not the quality of the art; if it were, art would begin and end w/photorealism. The quality of art is in the quality of the artist's observations. Some of the greatest novels have workmanlike prose; they are carried by jaw-dropping truths about human life. Or take cartooning--

Always read contracts you're sent to sign, even if you're told it's "boilerplate".
Understand what you're agreeing to and don't be afraid to ask questions or request adjustments.
When you're starting out you may not have much room to negotiate, but at least you can go into it with your eyes open.
