the cool part about being an artist is that the process of making art in any form is truly smthng beneficial for mental health. would love to see more ppl engaging w/ crafts&art in a handson way instead of playing around w/ genAI. i really think they'd get more bang for their buck. #starterpacknoai

i need someone from Obsidian to confirm that i'm not crazy: Lembur is heavily inspired by Romanian, right? and the Pargrunen all have Romanian sounding names like Doru, Cosmina, etc. i can't find it written down ANYWHERE 😤 #avowed

feels like the world is on fire and the challenges have not been lacking in my own personal life either in the past few weeks. i don't know what to do other than persist though. make art, make games, find community and hope for the best. 🥹

Hello bear fans! Wanted know that we're cooking a little hoodie action with Makeship this time around! Check it bear.game/hoodie

A picture depicting a hoodie over an illustrated background. We see an orange hoodie that has the shape of Hank the bear on the front, including arms down the sides. Behind it we see the back of the hoodie, including a tail. Text next to it reads "Hank Hoodie"

in case anyone’s wondering, my country’s election has turned into a clusterf*ck of russian and neofascist interests. it was naive of me to hope that our EU status and benefits as well as historic fear of the USSR would guard us against the danger. we’re so cooked it’s not even funny.

Make art that you think is fuckin sick as hell. Make the shit you never thought you could that you always wanted to see. Beat your insecurity to death and fight to become your own favorite artist.

My comfort zone: Tiny fantasy people, preferably with big backpacks.

Four types of adventurers from two different settings.
The first row reads: Human fighter, Gnome wizard, Earthen Thief, and Svar cleric.
The second row is the same archetypes but they are all humans from The Thief of Tales.

Three Earthen (a fantasy dwarf-like people) adventurers. They are listed as an Anvil City artificer, a Thoranic Templar, and a Burrow Lancer. This last one is riding a badger.

A collection of ancestries from my fantasy setting.

An outdated list of classes from the MCDM RPG, Draw Steel. A fan art because I love their game design.

took a class about color and composition with the very talented and super fun Justine Thibault a few weekends ago that changed my brain chemistry. this is a little wip that started as homework for the workshop but i've been trying to channel all the info i absorbed into a more refined image.

one thing i’ll say about Dragon Age Veilguard is that i can tell the artists & devs really cared about the game they were making. so much love put into the art, the animations, the details! the fact that you can pet all the cats and dogs, that assan has so many animations for interactions. 🥹

i really, desperately wanted to love DA:The Veilguard. i've been falling asleep to DA codex entries videos for years & years. and i do like so much of it. but the writing... it's so painfully shallow to me. it makes it hard to enjoy the rest of the game which i'm actually enjoying. #datv #dragonage

This is probably part of why everyone on bluesky is 38 years old: 38 year olds are basically the only people who consider it totally normal to flee a sinking ship and then just casually resume the conversation on the tropical island they end up on. They've outlived dozens of ships.
