Impatient for the Silksong trend to fade away so we can finally speak about other games and see different type of fanarts again 😘

Please give a follow to @lauklart.bsky.social who is a talented artist from Strasbourg - really stunning illustration work on this poster.

Something I never shared here, was my fan art of #Hytale in 2D #pixelart style, that we printed on a mousepad for the team past year, for Christmas 😍 . This was purely my side project, so don't get too excited : There has never been a real Hytale 2D game (yet...haha)

I don't have the proper words to say more than this now but

I was just laid off. My role at Giant Squid is being eliminated.

If your studio is looking for an environment artist, please let me know ASAP. I have 5+ years of experience.

thank you

From environment design, to acting, photography, costumes, story coherence - I think there isn't a single thing which doesn't piss me off in #AlienEarth. It's so bad, why is it so bad... Such a missed opportunity

I'm happy to share of couple of UI art & motion targets I crafted a few years ago for Hytale. These were publicly shared on Hytale website a while ago (due to NDA I cannot share much more).

Kweebec Protector - A 3D model I made for #Hytale that we never had a chance to fully implement.

They were supposed to be older and more serious versions of #kweebecs, before they grow and eventually turn into Tree Singers

gAI art is bad because it's stealing labor.

stealing labor from art is easy because no one sees art as labor, they see it as talent.

they see it as talent because it's easier to believe they have a right to hate you because they can't stand they gave up and you didn't.

fuck them, pay labor.
