New stickers I made from the art of my first set of enamel pins!! They have some pretty dope effects too, the pictures don't do them justice. ✨

They're on my shop!

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.

These are my favorite people to work with. Even stick figures help me understand what they're looking for in a piece.
To all the designers/directors/commisioners sharing your early sketches to help communicate with artists: you guys fucking rule

🙏😭Dear friends, if you want to commission me a character from your published -or about to be published - book, I cannot consider that piece a "Personal" commission.

You are making a profit from that book, and social media posts ARE promotion. That's literally what the Commercial price is for.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing

these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous

this is worth sharing and educating people about

If we can only have art from people who "aren't in it for the money" that means we can only have art from privileged middle-class dilettantes. Making art being a viable career is responsible for nearly all worthwhile art, and if it's not a viable career any more we will get drastically less of it.

Can we appreciate that one time I made a silly little comic about how Addy got her eyebrow scar? She was seduced by a siren and only saved by Edith in the nick of time. I wanna do more silly comics again <3

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!
