2025 was a bad year for a lot of reasons, but I found the love of my life so you know, balances and all that.

Hello! It's been a year and some change since I was laid-off from my previous job, and I'd love a new one.
My name is Steve and I have 7 years of experience in the animation industry as a background artist and illustrator. I've worked on shows like Castlevania, and card games like MtG!

Truly hope I get to work in animation again one day but it’s looking pretty rough.

I’ve played the games, but I finally started reading the first Witcher book, The Last Wish. It’s actually so good, the best parts involving one on one conversations between Geralt and the various characters.

Even if you don’t care about the WB merger from an artistic perspective, it’s just worse for long term business, and an incredibly large amount of employees will be hurt by it.

I’m not so naive to ask whether art has ever been in as much danger as today (compared to literal book burnings), but it sure feels existentially ominous on a level never seen before.

This image is funny but legit this is how 3D art feels like to me. The way I talk to other artists about shader node groups may as well be like two wizards sharing magical runes between each other.

I think I finally am cracking the code on this 3D-Ghibli stuff. I watched an amazing tutorial on the trees from @AversionReality
that really helped me understand shader nodes way better.
I'm also using assets from @Reipart_
(The grass) and @FaruqTawsif
(The flowers).
