iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I think 2020 proved that people can still mobilize en masse for a cause. Organizing large scale may be difficult, but organizing locally can inspire others.

got hard stuck as a kid fighting the Machina boss in the icy Lake Machalania. Dropped the game, and when i picked it back up from the start it became one of my favorites of all time!

I think that as independent artists, we should all think of having at least some of our work printed eventually. Every day, digital seems less and less like an eternal record of our lives, and more like a void we just throw art into.

You somehow kept some of the cuteness, even though you made him creepier. Very nice!

Thank you. She looks so beautiful in-game, I had to try 🙇

I've dreamed of this functionality so many times. "Can't i just insert "Create New Layer" at this point of the History?" No. No you cannot. Time Travel rules, i guess

Friend looked into how that intro scene for DMC4 is rendered, and they're just rendering both scenes simultaneously and masking with a black tri as necessary. Brute forcey but MTFramework handles it like a champ.

Yes, the physics&math of modern 3d technology come w/ constraints. It's harder, by comparison, to create past "default realism". That said, I think "expressionism" in games goes unnoticed because so much of games is steeped deeply in it. We tend to notice it more when its contrasted by "realism"

There is no "inherent" style to videogames. They all start from nothing, unlike humans in front of a camera. In fact, given modern tools like UE metahuman and photogrammetry asset packs, "realism" is a much more immediate starting point than any stylized, tailored look.

I'd guess this is due to some veterans graduating to leadership/direction. Less art MAKING, and more the leading of artists and reviewing of work. Detached from the process, the results (and how quickly/cheaply you get there) become more important. OFC this isn't sustainable.

Procreate is the worst best program, it's so good until it's so inexplicably incompetent . Also, this goes insanely hard. 🔥 🔥

"In n' Out" a popular burger restaurant! "Doggo" is very common for cute dogs also. "Dayum!" started as an African-American version of "Damn!" but became popular for everyone, especially when seeing a nice 🍑

I like understanding style, inspirations and influences, but it's strange when there is no journey and no reason other than... the social media market?

I'm sympathetic if you learn the style of your favorite artist, but there's one r18 artist who repeatedly copies, then abandons styles. CSR, others, and now Hinto. Since they've used AI in the past, i wonder if they're even "copying, the old-fashioned way. 🤔

Nothing in rev, rev1.02, rev2 or 2.1. Unless it was some stealth change, but nothing comes to mind, having played her since sign PC, never had anything to complain about with 5K~

This might be your finest yet.

Leo B. GKK ART @leobgkk.bsky.social · 08/01/2025

yeah, most other "problem" normals got tuned and retuned nerfed and even buffed, but 5k was always the same afaik.

Leo B. GKK ART @leobgkk.bsky.social · 08/01/2025

When was it nerfed? Far as I know it stayed the same since Sign

I hope it makes some sense that im drawing a separation here on the quality of the Design and problem solving of UI, and what the player feels having to deal with it. Good UI for a poor system will be a suboptimal experience for the player, except in the rare cases where somehow UI "saves" it.

Leo B. GKK ART @leobgkk.bsky.social · 07/01/2025

If the game is "overly" complex, that sounds like a system design issue. If UI still communicates all fulcral elements of this system to the player competently, & as you said, is hard to modify without harming information or responsiveness, then it's VERY good UI, carrying bloated system design. IMO

i tuned into this in the middle of the night and it was like a fever dream of lara speedrunning every injury known to man. Great run 👍🏽

your style is so beautiful. The colors and lines are like Oh!Great in the 2000s

Machine translation is often designed to avoid such problems. do not worry!

Currently decent enough at drawing anatomy that i can recognize when I'm fucking up, but not good enough to quickly solve it. 😩 . gotta go back to doing studies

probably a space thing. hard to jump rope in an apartment. probably has a gyroscopic sensor to sense your jump+hand motion to simulate the rope

You and Ami Thompson are so inspirational with the storytelling in your images 🙏

haven't watched 3, but 2 was riddled with 80s and 90s references/jokes that I'm not quite sure I understand who they're meant for. Too obscure for kids, too basic for anyone else. overall pretty bad.

Leo B. GKK ART @leobgkk.bsky.social · 28/12/2024

👍 There's a lot of nuance in the gits clip. Motoko lands in a dynamic, soft pose, but it's the weight of her robotic body that causes the floor to collapse under her, 1-2 frames late. Iron Man (& the chick in Deadpool) land with the full force of their knee and fist, almost like an attack.

Leo B. GKK ART @leobgkk.bsky.social · 28/12/2024

I don't think the MCU "superhero landing" is a direct homage to this one. Spiderman has been landing like Motoko in this clip for a long time in comics, animation, and games, But the "knee and fist to the floor" pose that they ran with is a bit harder to trace before Iron Man (2008).
