Every day they cry to claim "we're not a cult" there's 5 more examples of them basically being a cult. They're OBSESSED with him. It really is like Charles Manson.

And he's gonna wonder why people abandon it for Steam. It's either gonna be a buggy mess and/or have tons of security flaws.

It's an even bigger curve when using it in a production, with specific technical requirements. Easier now of course, but back when I started, there was very little documentation for it.

Nobody is debating about if Blender is good or Bad. I use Blender, professionally. But Blender, as well as any software, can get messy. Blender especially. Using it haphazardly, like an AI agent would, would surely make an extremely messy result

Sean D. Phillips @megasean.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

So far, the people that's been showing off how amazing it is, have been hellbent on not showing their breakdowns. And the best Timelapse was already shown to be stolen from an actual artist. Knowing how messy Blender can get, it's definitely be easy to tell

Honestly, what good is "1 person can do the work of 3" when it'll cost more? The 1 person is going to want to be paid more. Then you're paying 3-4 figures, daily, on tokens, to get the same productivity. Just gonna get a bunch of failed, slop projects and companies

Sean D. Phillips @megasean.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Dare I say, worse than previously. Then, there's the whole deadlines, implementation and optimization side of things. It has zero usage in production. Token based usage, effectively makes it borderline useless.

Man... listen...Astra 6 isn't that impressive and imma need y'all to chill. One, paying to use Blender, defeats the entire purpose of using it. Combined with the fact that, you run out of tokens before you can even finish anything. Second, the outputs are STILL horrible.

One taught us to be happy, kind and a positive light. One taught us, to have fun being weird. The last taught us, be made of sterner steel.

New artwork. This was was fun, albeit a liiiiittle challenging. Not used to this style (also, still learning 3DCoat). Super fun to work on tho. Might stick to stuff like this for personal work, since I'm mostly doing Star Wars stuff. www.artstation.com/artwork/gw8wdx

Sakreiegt Dagger, Sean D. Phillips

Sakreiegt The Eldritch Cultist Dagger, Inspired by the mythos of Cthulhu. Original design by the folks at Calimacil. I thought it looked cool and was a good excuse to do the type of art I don't normal...

I started a certain cadence for personal work, Prop-prop-Environment, that I really liked. But now...I'm so compelled to skip my next prop and do back-to-back environments. I already picked the two. A fantasy one and some street in Lisbon (still figuring out where).

My WIPs regularly get way more engagement than my finished work. Which always made me laugh.

Animorphs (1/3)

Page 1, 3 panels. Panel 1: group of friends in a public party setting. A guy asks one of the girls, “you’ve really never heard of Animorphs?” The girl laughs, “never!” Panel 2: later, the girl is now alone and unlocking the door to her apartment. Panel 3: as she enters the apartment, she morphs into a wildebeest. She thinks to herself, “no one can know.”

Last update before I finish. Going for something like this for a beauty shot. Might even make a video. I feel like the BG and become a bit too distracting, so might darken it a bit.

Mostly subtle texturing, detailing and roughness adjustments. Calling it done. Time to work on the render

... people who insist on using AI at work... really come off as not being able to do their jobs on their own. I just can't stand it. Then half of the time, it's just making excuses on its lack of quality. Spending more time trying to get it to work than it would take to do it from scratch

Sean D. Phillips @megasean.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

All of this. I do think things will eventually turn around. The question is when. It's the lack of investment that's terrifying. There's so many studios that came out of the 2008 crash, which lasted few years. My hope, is that'll happen now. My fear is ... it'll take longer than last time.

This is why I refused the use Indeed for YEARS. Who do you email about a job, from a studio that's been closed for a year?

That part. They didn't steal it from us. The likely BOUGHT it from them. Since they love selling out data so much. But even still...we didn't have to be influenced to not vote against that guy.

Wirh the love hate art thing being talked about, my feelings is you should be open and honest with how you feel. Celebrate your highs and ask for help in your lows but don’t feel like you need to be a certain way based on what you perceive the standard of how an artist is ment to act.

Sculpting on the blade part. Reworked and reshaped the center to closer match the reference. I think it's gonna look awesome textured. Almost done with sculpting this bad boy. #WIP #3Dart
