I also designed the new skin for the Dhelan for the Last Stand bundle for STO! This was a real fun one, a chance to do something very different but familiar, hope y'all enjoying flying this one!

I'm sick and watching Lord of the Rings for the first time in years and god, I forgot how insanely beautiful these films are despite their age, so much artistry that holds up so well

I LOVE the idea of annual Spaceship awards and Spacedock is one of the best institutions to do it. <>THANK YOU to Spacedock for awarding 2025's SPACESHIP OF THE YEAR to STO's Daetra-class Warbird! Designed by @scorpiondesign.bsky.social, modeled by Tobias Richter, intake by @pundus.art
Spacedock is ten years old today! Check out this video Dan did looking back on those years and some cool stuff from 2025 that he liked, with maybe a tiny bit from me too. 😉

I spoke to a dozen professional concept artists working in games about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs easier, even if it's just used in "very early ideation stages."

Zero said "yes." Most said it made their job harder.

I learnt a lot about concept artists. You should too!
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.

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.

Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

So utterly disappointed in Larian/Swen to hear that they have incorporated AI into their process, but *especially* in Concept Art.

That is a role so many illustrators and artists would love to have, and could bring so much creative passion, joy, experience and expression too.
NEW: I spoke to Larian boss Swen Vincke about their ambitions for their new RPG Divinity, cutting down development time, pressures from Baldur's Gate 3, why BG3 wouldn't have happened without Tencent, how Larian uses generative AI, and much more www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Recently - in my personal time - I re-rendered all of these scenes with the new contemporary Daetra-Class Warbird by @scorpiondesign.bsky.social - a TMP-era Romulan Warbird exclusive to the new Legendary Last Stand Bundle. I dunno if it'll ever see the light of day though, haha - but have a tease.

Finished playing Dungeons of Hinterberg yesterday! Was pleasantly surprised at how technically impressive it was, just did so many cool things with its puzzles and dungeons that you just don't expect to be possible with the sort of game it presents itself as.

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".

PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.
