Each semester we do a timed exercise. Students receive incomplete concept art, and have 8 hours to take it as far as they can, with an eye for form. Keeping with Shaun's no AI Twitter scraping, I am posting the work over here. @machinefun.bsky.social @mooneysart.bsky.social

Bird of Prey (Samus Aran from Metroid Ravenous)
Digital painting portraying the Nintendo character Samus Aran, from the Metroid series, as a ravenous creature on top of a totem. 
Samus, a woman wearing a full futuristic space suit with giant round shoulders and an arm canom, crouches on top of a totem while holding a pink flame with a off-putting bird claw shaped hand. Her arm canom on the other hand oozes a yellow substance. She looks at the camera like she has just noticed us.

Saw some news there may be a new Killzone in the works. I love that series but it peaked with KZ2. The MP mode in that game is underrated as hell, its easliy one of the best MP modes ive played in any shooter. Id kill just for KZ2 re released running at 60 or 120 fps.

Back from my hols and caught up with games news, gta etc. Must be an age thing but I have no interest in GTA 6. Looked lovely but I felt no urgre to want to play it. Just found out its also 30 fps and i cant play that now, hurts my head.

Modelling the scenes and the weapon in Blender, I wanted to give them a more fleshed out sci-fi spin. Big shoutout to @mooneysart.bsky.social for the inspiration with his last years Doom 2000 mockups!

A postern is a form of door in a city wall. This is the North Street Postern in York, another candidate for #ADoorableThursday. It dates from the mid 19th century, replacing a smaller one for access to coal boats. #ArchitecturalIllustration #pencil #watercolour #drawing #ArtShare
Pencil drawing of a gateway with a wide arch and a narrow arch. It adjoins a flight of steps and a circular stone tower with a tiled roof. In the background another tower can just be made out standing on an arched riverside walkway. On the right is the arch of a bridge which passes over the stone flagged and cobbles roadway.Drawing of a circular tower by a river. On the left is the side of a bridge, with tall modern buildings in the background. Behind the circular stone tower with tiled roof is a section of town wall and a line of trees.

if it's layoffs on ship no matter what, never pay that company for anything. why would you. your money will never reach anyone who worked on what you bought, or respected those people. you'll not be investing in anything in any sense software is on the honour system and these people have no honour
