Hey folks, just got the news I'll be laid off mid April.
I'll be looking for concept and cinematic storyboarding gigs and anything else in between. I've gotten to do feature ownership, mentoring, some ad work, texture vis dev: generally cool but invisible stuff. Translating 2d to 3d is my jam.

The famous green owl app Duolingo is going even harder into AI made by stolen content. It's not curated by native speakers so you have no idea if what you're learning is correct. Their algorithm overall tries to hit the happy brain juices instead of helping you learn. So here are some alternatives!
