In Rilke's letters to a young poet he talks about how artists need to work through creative thoughts internally and have patience with that. "In this there is no measuring with time, a year doesn’t matter, and ten years are nothing." I feel vindicated by a dead old poet, at least.

All you have to do is that. It's not more complicated than that. Fall in love with an idea and pursue it. Then repeat the process until you can make the thing exactly as it is in your head

Back in October, Rockstar Games fired 34 employees for alleged gross misconduct. The severity of these firings could have spelled the end for a burgeoning union effort that was underway, but it didn't. In fact, the union is now *bigger* than it's ever been before. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ym4z...

Valve’s own attacks on artistic expression don’t receive nearly the same amount of attention as Visa or MasterCard’s efforts. Their impenetrable, private review process continues to have a chilling effect on what you can say or depict in a video game.

Oh, you've made a video game? And you want people to play it? Well, let's talk about how to do that better. How, exactly, can you make sure people care about your game and want to tell other people about it? Check it out here: docseuss.medium.com/its-not-enou...

I see I need to make a clearer point. Framing things this way puts the blame on the consumer - the consumer that spends hundreds of millions of dollars on subs every month - as though it is their fault for freeloading. But is it the consumer's fault that the model was built the way it was? No.

I'm currently available for work! I have 15 years of experience making art for games - pixel art and 2D, be it still or animated :) I'm specially open for illustrative work, commissions, part time and/or short-term projects! 🎨 lunascimento.art 📬 lunascimento.art@gmail.com

Environment diorama/concept art for Glimmer, a puzzle game. It features a lighthouse and tiles of different biomes, such as quarry, beach, grass, thorns, etc. The colours are warm.

Pixel art. It's a window to someone's living room, full of plants and moving boxes. A person and a dog look to the outside, where birds fly around a tower of light.

Pixel Art. Game boy-like title and success screen for Forest Adventure, a birdwatching mini-game in Assemble with Care.

Illustration made to be the cover and poster of Wireframe Magazine's Issue 55 that featured a spread on Moonglow Bay.
Two people and a dog are sat happily fishing on a pier. A Racoon steals some of their catches. You can see different biomes on the background.
