I’ve been leaning more Rule Of Cool with my art lately. Focusing more on what looks good and less on stressing that every detail is clean and scientifically accurate.

I’ve been really enjoying the mobile game StellaSora lately. For one, it has actual gameplay which is a nice change of pace for mobile stuff. The characters and the story and the world are all very fun and playful which I appreciate.
I wanted to draw the main trio of Noya, Iris, Amber.

Hey Art friends, I’m in serious need of some printing help. I’m trying to put out my first ever artbook but the prints keep coming back so insanely dark and I have no idea why.
I know you lose some vibrancy going from RBG to CMYK but this is far more than that.
What am I doing wrong?

I spent a slow work day entertaining myself with DC Comics themed games I would love. I had a bunch of fun ideas but couldn’t get THIS ONE in particular out of my mind. A side scrolling beat em up starring some of Gotham’s greatest gals!

Partner and I watched both Inside Out films the other day, and not only were they absolutely delightful, but it left me wondering how my ADHD brain operates.
Here’s my approximation, specifically, that my Joy has watched way too many game shows.

Aw shit…
I have an idea for a video game and enough ADHD fueled confidence to think I could actually make it.

I would sooner spend an entire day listen to Weezer’s entire discography on loop than 5 seconds listening to a tech bro convince me of the benefits of AI.
"AI bros arent as creatively competent as Weezer" is a helluva diss.

Update for those following along:
Made an image in Procreate of a huge color range with Hexcodes. Replicated it using MSPaint. Imported both into InDesign then replicated it again within THAT program.
The intent was to see what stage in the process was causing the biggest dip in brightness.

I really appreciate the people that reached out this post but, I got too ahead of myself wanting to commission someone haha!
I do not have the funds to do so
That said, I really enjoy the conversation. If we could pivot to artists or media I should look at, that’d be great!

So here’s the skinny, I have these characters and I’m just struggling to nail down their style, their anatomy, their outfit, all of it.
I just don’t do cute girl or military.
Doesn’t mean I wanna give up tho.
I’m look for artists who excel at this kind of work to commission and learn from.

Watched the VERY enjoyable Welcome To Derry last week.
I’m not a big horror fan but I love what Andy has done with the world and lore and the way he handles the unnerving tension. I also ALWAYS enjoy when Pennywise is on screen, the way Bill expertly rides the line between playful and deranged.

I am persistently caught between the knowledge that I am only some dude put on this planet to just breathe, and the absolute necessity to create something that might maybe emotionally impact someone.
