We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.

Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

Yes. This. A million percent.

Its so frustrating the way there are so many incredibly talented concept artists with original fresh ideas in this industry that are funneled into working on projects with no vision.

I’m Geoff! I’ve been steadily building a portfolio of fantastical creatures and characters. I’m looking for work in table top games, book or card projects and private commissions.

Three female kalavinka, half human-half bird spirits from Buddhist folklore, are flying through the air while playing music. One is singing, one is playing percussion, one is playing electric guitar. Digital painting. Mountain Troll sits atop a stone cliff. We understand his massive size by the mountain goats that have climbed onto his arms and legs with the corresponding proportion of pet mice climbing on a person. The Mountain Troll has stone-like skin and a green moss-like beard. He smiles as he looks kindly at a mountain goat that has ventured onto his outstretched finger. Digital painting Quicksand Elemental rises from the murky swamp, skeletons of drowned victims are embedded in its body of slimy mud and tangled roots. It looks at you with glowing red eyes. Digital painting. Rat King. Ten thousand scurrying rats fill the robe, hold the scepter, lift the sword, wear the crown. Digital painting.

Last month 30+ Twitch streamers came together to signal boost the endangered vaquita porpoise.

Together we raised over $14,000 to help save them!

These streams also generated 10,000+ watch hours during which MANY people learned about the vaquita for the first time!

Painting of a girl surrounded by larger than life cetaceans including a narwhal, beluga, fin whale, humpback whale, orca, Russo's dolphin, spotted dolphin, and a vaquita porpoise. The environment is blue and rocks tilt away from the center of the scene where the girl glows magically. A ribbon of red encircles the figure and casts a warm light.

ICE raided a James Beard award winning restaurant & because the chef/owner was prepared, left emptyhanded:
Photo shared by Christina Nguyen on December 04, 2025 tagging @naomi.marie__, @nathanmiller612, @rubyscher, @holaarepa, @birksg, @chefjholig, and @haihaimpls. May be an image of text that says 'AS SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE HEARD, I.C.E. PAID US A VISIT AT AREPA YESTERDAY. OUR GM NAOMI & TEAM MEMBERS FOLLOWED OUR ICE PROTOCOL PERFECTLY, THE AGENTS LEFT & NO ONE WAS DETAINED. tO WHOEVER NEEDS THIS: KNOW YOUR RIGHTS WHEN IT COMES TO I.C.E. (1/5)'. christinanguyenmpls 11h We had an ICE scare yesterday and even though we’re afraid of the repercussions of being vocal, we feel that it’s also important to inform people that this is right at our front door. ICE is not some far away boogeyman. They are here right now, spreading fear in our community. We’re so grateful to our entire staff and their bravery. They did the right things and couldn’t have dealt with this situation in a better way. We are grateful to our community activists that came to support us from @miracmn @litosonlake and Monarcha. We hope that if you find yourself in the same situation, that you find these resources helpful. Peace and take care of each other ❤️ Photo by Christina Nguyen on December 04, 2025.

WE ARE HEARTBROKEN THAT OUR IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES IN THE TWIN CITIES ARE BEING TARGETED AND TERRORIZED BY THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION. THESE ARE REAL PEOPLE THAT ARE BEING USED AS POLITICAL PAWNS AND IT'S APPALLING. REGARDLESS OF THEIR LEGAL STATUS, THERE ARE SO MANY LATINOS & SOMALIANS WHO ARE AFRAID OF BEING DETAINED DUE TO MISTAKEN IDENTITY BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY MIGHT NOT GET DUE PROCESS & A FAIR TRIAL. THEY WILL JUST END UP IN DETENTION CENTERS & A LEGAL PROCESS THAT HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS A BLACK HOLE. WE STAND IN SUPPORT OF OUR IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY, WHO ARE THE BACKBONE OF THIS COUNTRY. WITHOUT IMMIGRANTS, AMERICA IS NOT THE SAME PLACE. STAY SAFE OUT THERE & TAKE CARE OF YOUR NEIGHBORS. LOVE, HOLA AREPA & HAI HAI (5/5)

oc | Charlotte

Cold to the world,
warm to the ones brave enough to reach her ❤️‍🔥
A character named Charlotte. A vampire. One eye is red, the other is pink—the pink one is a prosthetic. Her hair is black with hidden gray coloring. Her lips are red. She’s wearing a voluminous red dress, a red necklace, and a ruby earring. She is sitting on a sofa
