Yearly BoFIV art appreciation post - Still the greatest to ever do it, all modern "HD2D" games pale in comparison. Great art direction will always beat adding lights, fog and bloom.

Andrey Surnov's concept work for Jusant in my brain again this morning. Can't think of a game set among ruins that made me more desperate to see more of its world. So few games manage such an original and rich aesthetic, so sad the team never got to make more.

I'm going to be buried under the jail then. My Miro feedback shenanigans have become notorious. My favourite is cropping parts from multiple concepts and sticking them together awkwardly.

On Project Dragon/Everhaven I had the privilege of working alongside that kind of team- one example being Michael 'Orb' Vicente, who helped set a tone of caring deeply for the smallest details of the work he made: *sculpting rocks*. To this day, they are the loveliest game rocks I've ever seen.

Have you seen some of the art for @gardens.dev's upcoming game? Yeah, it's that beautiful! 💚🌳 More info: gardens.dev/press

Three heroes walking towards a sort of ritual site—a small megalithic structure. Beautifully illustrated.

Four wanderers—likely the three heroes and a companion—are making their way through a very dense forest and are currently passing a large clearing situated in the valley.

The three heroes have found a small, round, closed gate in the middle of the deep forest. Atmospheric god rays shine through the treetops.

The three heroes spend the night sitting close together by the campfire, in the midst of an old stone ruin in the forest.

controversial statement; this has far less to do with engine tech and for more to do with what skills are more easily trainable in a broad population. Technical parameterized realism is one of the easiest things to systematize so the labor market for realism is much deeper with lots of documentation

Sorry no spacesuits or robots or post apocalyptic warriors, but here's a sketch of a handsome onion. Hun-nion I guess. Alfresco lunchtime coloured pencil sketch.

Always thought FF12 was under-rated and as you see where FF games have gone since, it only looks better in retrospect IMO. I feel like the tone has shifted since then somehow.

A new painting (by me) I can share for the game we are working on here at Gardens. I still can't say much, but things are moving along smoothly and I'm excited for you all to see it when it's ready. I really appreciate all the enthusiasm everyone has shared with me about the art we've shown so far.

What IS fun though is finding the oldest game that still holds up perfectly (ignoring Tetris because obviously). Like SMB3 or A Link to the Past are almost perfectly timeless.

Andy Porter @phandy.bsky.social · 27/06/2025

Yeah for sure, I just think its less fun when Mario Kart 8 is also on the list, and if the criteria is 'right now', then MK8 clears no questions asked.

I always think about this when I see all time game rankings, and it's harder, but you have to do it based on when it was released. The technological, graphical, control and quality of life innovations over time completely remove 95% of anything over 20 years old from contention.

Switching to traditional media is the best decision I'v made in a long time. It feels so much nicerto paint on real paper. With brushes for scale, you can also see how tiny my work is in person.

I got the fantastic Jusant art book recently, and as well as enjoying all the amazing art, I found this little treat inside! This genuinely made my year. I struggle with finding purpose in my personal art, so even though its small this really means a lot to me. Thank you @edouardcaplain.bsky.social.

Art directing anecdote: years ago an AD asked me to make a bunch of mood/refboards as the initial part of exploring a new area. It felt trivially easy to the point that I had impostor syndrome about whether I understood why I was spending time just collecting good examples of a visual theme
