If you've seen Kinetic Publishing's showcase stream yesterday you've probably seen the game Shellbound by Fake Lobster! Super happy to say I've joined their team this month to work as a 2D Artist with my amazing AD Aina Theede. Let's see where we go from here! 🤩🤩

I haven't kept up with watching anime for a long time, but the new series like the ghost in the shell and jaadugar: a witch in mongolia has been such a treat! amazing pacing, fantastic art, and both feels really fresh with their storytelling :D I can't wait to see more episodes 🥰🥰!!

Reading Gideon the Ninth and was inspired by what Nutrient Paste was. ...I am trying to like Gideon, but am very much in the Harrowhark camp. Just gotta get to book 2 ._." Maybe her character gets better the further I read :D

had a unpleasant nightmare, and I remember there was a pink toilet something like this. for some reason the world logic was that if you had to go no.2, then you used the bigger lid. but why is it separated? why is it collapsible? at least it was clean in my dream...

Hey concept artists 👋 if you see this, pls tell me, at what point during ideation do you cut it off and know where to move on? I feel like concepts can go on forever, do you have a personal rule or something for this? Like having 5-10 iterations, etc?

Played Cairn and loved it sooooo much. It felt meditative to climb and climb and also almost lose my mind in very difficult runs but it felt sooo satisfying when you have overcome it. The environment is so beautiful too!

Completed my Treasure Joe character refurbish project. Now with spiffy sheets and quick logo. The tiny ones are the 2009 originals for reference. Thanks for all the support along the way. #characterdesign #piracy #pirates

two recently drawn pirate characters, compared to their 2009 original designs. One is a tiny pirate man shouldering a cannon like a bazooka, the other is a girl with scars and missing teeth riding a huge cannon ball.

next two recently drawn pirate characters, compared to their 2009 original designs. One is a shipwrecked british gentlemen, who values being punctual, the other is a female pirate mercenary wielding a cursed skull artefact.

Final two recently drawn pirate characters, compared to their 2009 original designs. Both share the same sailor uniform, one is a broad thick lover of rum, the other an athletic harpooneer.

The scale of the issue is not the problem... it is a problem on principle and look what it got them: A placeholder asset, that is dangerously easy to miss and that makes empty promises of a later illustration complexity, that was not actually delivered. And for what? Guys, like, fucking don't!

consider my feedback: i loved working at @larianstudios.com until AI. reconsider and change your direction, like, yesterday. show your employees some respect. they are world-class & do not need AI assistance to come up with amazing ideas.

The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out. This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.

Swen Vincke @LarAtLarian

Holy fuck guys we’re not "pushing hard" for or replacing concept artists with AI.

We have a team of 72 artists of which 23 are concept artists and we are hiring more. The art they create is original and I’m very proud of what they do.

I was asked explicitly about concept art and our use of Gen AI. I answered that we use it to explore things. I didn’t say we use it to develop concept art. The artists do that. And they are indeed world class artists.

We use AI tools to explore references, just like we use google and art books. At the very early ideation stages we use it as a rough outline for composition which we replace with original concept art. There is no comparison.

I talked about how we use ML here if you would like to know more:
https://gamespot.com/articles/baldurs-gate-3-dev-embraces-machine-learning-for-tasks-that-nobody-wants-to-do/1100-6531123/

We've hired creatives for their talent, not for their ability to do what a machine suggests, but they can experiment with these tools to make their lives easier.

Oh so he is kinda worse than he came off in your piece and his subsequent very poorly received attempt to smooth things over. Great day to be a concept artist in video games worried about the future of your career.
