Not sure I like the "Nintendo hire that man" look of the remake, but this idea of making Deku Baba tongues resemble roots is so cool! #Zelda

Not sure why, but these days I try to find ways to draw Sonic without any human accessory. Maybe to push more the animals vs machines theme!

Every meeting to review the way a character’s hair falls, the animated microexpression that betrays their grief, the hue of the leaves on the trees in the distant background that helps guide the eye to the narrative center…were you sleepwalking through all that? That’s the work!! That’s the magic!

Actually you know what, let me just

A still of the character Chihiro in the film “Spirited Away”. A character called No Face is offering her a pile of false gold that has been edited and overlayed with the logos of Claude, OpenAI and Grok. She is saying, “I don’t want any. I don’t need any.”

Once again, the point of placeholder is to be replaced and thus easy to identify. If you're using machineslop to get "as close as possible" - that's not "placeholder", that's either being incredibly ignorant or being a liar hoping to get away with it. There's really no third option.

Wouldn't it be fun to push time mechanics in the Zelda franchise and allow Link to travel to previous art directions? Like a new title where you move from recent game worlds to N64 or 2D ones, celebrating all the eras the serie went through.

What a weird subtitle for P4 remake isn't it? I'm wondering if they could have used REWIND or something that fits the imagery of the game better. Like how RELOAD was perfect for P3 guns to summon Personas.

The main reason i'm not a huge fan of ray tracing is that every great movie shot is the result of cinematographers very purposefully finding spesific ways to cheat past natural lighting

I'm a bit confused about the direction for the new Camera icon in iOS26. It seems they overall simplified and flattened new icons to work better with their glass look, but the Camera got a reverse treatment? Back to skeuomorphism but just for this one? 🤔

I still can't get over how many cool ideas Aggro Crab managed to squeeze in Another's Crab Treasure. Like you can learn to grow your shell again with your ki when it broke during combat, and it will look like kintsugi, the japanese art of repairing broken pottery!

I have shared this story, this thread, before - but I think given the state of the world, it's worth telling once again. Maybe it can help, especially if like me, you make art, and you wonder what the use of all of it is right now.

Still feel it would be nice if fighting games could allow us to pick two favourite colours for our character in case we come across a mirror match with someone already using a similar one, instead of reverting back to a color we might dislike.

Mmmh this Switch 2 announcement was quite underwelming to me. I understand they want to build on Switch success and it’s probably the right thing to do, but I was hoping for at least a clear twist on its branding, a different color scheme, logo, magnetic animation, something fresh.
