just learned about the content warning that open Silent Hill f and this feels like it comes from a parallel world where AAA games took on a whole different meaning for "mature" damn. more of this approach please

There was something really special about how 8-bit games would be enhanced by hand-drawn art found in guides and magazines. Pictured here is a segment from Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen - Official Guidebook, 1990, detailing a mountain village.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑
Frustrated little dude gripping a pencil saying “how do I pack this down into something I can actually share?” While swirling rainbows labeled “INFINITE POTENTIAL” float around them.

Little dude frowns at a tiny grey box, exclaiming “all that work for THIS?!”

Little dude shoves the grey box into another little guy’s hands; Frowning, stomping off, and saying “Here you go, I made this, it sucks.”

Second little dude cracks open the box, swirling rainbows project out onto their face.

Second little dude stares in awe at all the swirling rainbows now floating around them.

On this and all social media platforms,all artists NEED to support NSFW art. If your ace (like me) or don't like porn it doesn't matter. The freedom to draw nudity and sexually explicit work for adults shouldn't be demonized because some people find it offensive or refuse to parent their kids.

let me try to explain this joke: these two laughably extreme and hyperbolized axes are unrealistic on purpose to illustrate the huge dichotomy between how we all as artists are in this zone of expectations for both respect and money, and greater common culture doesn't think we deserve both

Screenshot from Possessioner (PC-98, 1994, Queen Soft). When you're a very talented artist who has mastered the art of dithering, you don't need more than 16 unique colors.
