Hey!
Do you need a highly technical character artist with almost 15 years of individual contributor and leadership experience? Looking for someone to wrangle your shaders? Or perhaps you need a person to assemble your character art pipeline?
That's me!

Inside the crypt of a powerful karazadi noble. The ossuary niches here are built into a protective idol of a horned marmot, to deter the living and dead from interfering with the remains. Long bones are kept in the niche to the right, and fine bones gathered into a bronze reliquary on the left.

The more I look at this, the more fascinated I am because it reveals patterns a lot of people might be aware of on some level, even if unconsciously
The gamedev and digital art cluster has a direct and very smooth transition into the furry art community

The point of the AI project is to provoke despair in creative people. They haven’t produced profits or anything anyone wants, just a steady stream of articles about how us artistic types can’t do the thing we’re already doing, making art. Jokes on them, we’re even better at despair than they are.

Making a zine out of a short story I've been picking away at for a few years
Making physical stuff is so satisfying
Going to do a 30-40 page version with this in the middle and a bunch of art and blurbs about the people and setting on either side

I guess it's technically true that a race to the bottom is still a race.
“If I can generate a book in a day, and you need six months to write a book, who’s going to win the race?” God this is bleak

Just want to say - 76k hours is 8.5 years.
Not a single second of that to given to genAI.
We are not given this time, it is not a “luxury” - we steal it.
I sketched between auto parts deliveries and on calls, and between calls as a dispatcher. Made art whenever I could, however I could. ->

26 years of my life right here.
That's about 76k hours. There have been seasons in my life where I didn't paint at all, and seasons where I was painting 12-16 hours a day.
Keep going. You'll get there. <3

One of the weird things about doing art these days is that I keep catching myself thinking "no, management won't like that" whenever I have an idea about how to make something more aligned with my personal taste
