Hello Bluesky!
I'm a swedish animator and character artist, living in France.
I like stories, with a preference for sci-fi, medieval, and fantasy.
I'm here to follow all the beautiful people making amazing art, and hopefully share some of my own.

Hearing "why aren't you working for a big studio? Why aren't you directing at your age? You're so good, what do you mean you have trouble finding a job?" gets so tiresome. Thank you for saying I'm a good artist but I don't think that really is the thing that actually gets you jobs anymore 🤷

The myth of "idea" is directly linked to the worship of IP over art. Every "idea" that ever became successful, did so because of the millions of tiny decisions from the people executing it.
Schofield exposing himself here as a "leader" who never saw his team responsible for his success. Pathetic.

Dead Space and Call of Duty’s Glen Schofield says he’s been experimenting with generative AI for 2 years and believes it can help ‘fix’ the games industry.
“AI isn’t here to replace us, it’s here to make us better, faster, and more efficient,” he says. “It’s a tool”.
