Artist friends - thoughts on the huion kamvas 13? I am thinking of getting one, I have a need for something portable and my old iPad is not really up to the task. The single cable connection is appealing to me but I’ve never used huion before.

The only definition of art style that has ever truly resonated with me is that your style is emergent from your accumulation of habitual mistakes and shortcuts.

Despite the ravages of age and an internet steeped in misinformation, your eyes – in this one case – do not deceive you: Website different. It’s taken an immense amount of time and effort, but welcome to Aftermath version 2.0:

Controversial opinion, but Andromeda is one of my favorite ME games. Broken for sure, but there are glimpses of a great game in there. Real shame they didn’t get more time to finish it

Myst was my first “immersive” experience in a game as a kid—the first game to transport me beyond the awareness that I was playing with a toy on the computer. I was hooked on the series that followed. they’re foundational to my personal journey of playing, studying, and creating games!
Thirty-two years ago today, Myst was released.
