Okay, this is a massive re-render of this scene, with bespoke, actual voice work by Balwin Williams Jr - Tons of improvements and tweaks, and I really like how it ended up looking and sounding. I hope you like it!

The last time a president and his cronies - including a young J. Edgar Hoover - tried to mass deport Americans they didn't like, the nation stopped them, as I discuss here.

wow domestika not paying their CGMA instructors is just horrid. Do not support domestika. Hopefully those instructors land somewhere that treats them right.

Yearly reminder that inktober and similar month-long-daily-prompt challenges are often unhealthy and lead to burnout! It's more important that you enjoy making your art than it is to hit every daily item. Some people can manage it, most can't. Also the Inktober founder sucks.

Hey! Do you need a highly technical character artist with almost 15 years of individual contributor and leadership experience? Looking for someone to wrangle your shaders? Or perhaps you need a person to assemble your character art pipeline? That's me! 🎨 www.xavierck.com 📫 xavierck.3d@gmail.com

I finally finished this piece. My homage to the late, great David Lynch. "Fix Your Hearts or Die" Prints and stickers are available in my store. Also 8x8 prints without the words. www.emmalerae.com/store.html #Sciart #paleoart
An illustration colored in blacks, grays, and red of a Dilophosaurus family feasting on the corpse of a Sarahsaurus. Blood is dripping from the mouth of the adult and its holding the heart of the disemboweled creature at its feet. Two juvenile Dilophosaurus are taking part in feasting on the corpse their parent killed. Below the illustration is the text "Fix Your Heart Or Die" which is a reference to David Lynch's Twin Peaks.

Andor is a gift. I still can’t believe it got made. Here’s more of my Rogue One concept art - the Occupation of Jedha. Reality continues to be stranger and more cruel than fiction.

Of all the things going on in the world the one I am thinking of right now is how much I dislike that there is a live action remake of How to Train Your Dragon. Brains are weird.

"Kennedy’s disgust with and devaluation of autistic people fits neatly into a eugenic logic that views health as virtue, and sees illness, or difference, as a kind of moral lapse which should be subject to punishment or censure."

was bummed to hear this, loved the work this team did and I got brought in because this was going on, & it was a way to bring me onto my current team. I think we've all seen this is a hard game type to get player traction on with just a few dominating. starwarshunters.com/news/sunset-...

Rewatched Andor as weekly work watch party during lunch. I describe it as a simmering pot that reaches a boil and its how things feel politically in this country. As a vet I am f-ing pissed at how we are turning backs on allies and voting with NK AND Putin in the UN.

Hard-working game devs across three WB studios are now suddenly without jobs -- the company behind games like Batman: Arkham and Mortal Kombat. Layoffs aren't "strategic," they're corporate greed. Video game workers deserve to be treated with dignity.
