Merry Christmas! I have a preview of The Diamond's Gambit for you 💎
As I revealed a few months back, @jenericlive.com voiced Gallywix for this and it's too good not to share some of what he's done.

Now it's out, I can finally say that the very cool folks at Wild Blue Studios brought me in to do some graphics work for @avantris.bsky.social's latest merch drop! I did vectors/text treatments (with art done by amazing Ron Broyde and Lindsey Laney), the hat however is all my own letter work!

The best way (in my experience) to grow your audience is to follow and also make/share starter packs of artists you like. People are always hungry for more artists to follow and a starter pack with interesting artists always gets passed around. This is one I made bsky.app/profile/core...
if news is stressing you the fuck out, i recommend following a ton of artist starter packs and then clinging to the "popular with friends" tab like a life raft .
here's one i made feel free to share some good ones below go.bsky.app/VKGhQ6E

Apparently Paypal is now asking those who commissioned artists through invoices for feedback on the experience, Please never type anything, Its a trap. Just putting both yours and their accounts at risk of bans.

Shoutout to commission clients who send crude mockups and stick figure drawings to get across the idea of what they want for their comm. You don't need advanced art skills to communicate concepts.

Art summary! I did a surprising amount of animated stuff looking back, it's nice to be able to show more of it compared to last year. And alongside all this, I managed to hit my professional goals! Very happy with this year 🎉

I’ve asked for this to be posted after my death.
I accepted government assistance in dying.
I’m proud to have been part of the animation industry during my short career, and meeting lots of fun, interesting people.

It's a beautiful coincidence, but finding out the video for this song came out the same day we got @kyletsetso.bsky.social's final message has me in pieces.

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things.

Similar to how voice AI use has been suggested; for 'scratch'
or reference.
I know many actors, myself among them, who got jobs from the scratch work.
Every example of AI being used I've seen is cutting away a job that someone coming up would take or get on their journey.
Maybe that's the point.

The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out.
This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.

The fact that the games industry is so dead-set on disregarding Concept Art as being part of the game it helps make is eternally frustrating to me.
If the slop machine extrudes a design for you that you then force an artist to make "real", that still means there's AI generated content in the game.
