lmao dude what, apparently a guy selling AI shit at a convention in Australia got so mad that people were criticizing him for it he started biting them. I've heard of AI brainrotting but these people are literally zombifying www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09...

My Samus redesign with the Giger slider cranked waaay up.

Closeup of Samus in her Zero Suit which is fused to her skin.

Samus with her Varia Suit, Zero Suit, and transparent Varia Suit to showcase details of how it fits her. Also yes she has a missing hand because I think that both fits into a cannon better and is just cooler.

Just for fun this is a little King Dodongo sketch I did in my sketchbook early this year that I dont think I ever posted

Its strange how comparatively cartoony the materials are on King Dodongo vs the rest of the art direction. Look at the neck, thats very Skyward Sword in approach. Maybe he is like an amphibian covered in rocks instead of having scales? Would fit the lifecycle better maybe?

While I dont hate the new Link design I do think something was lost in the translation of his facial features especially. and just for fun its its interesting to compare design decisions I made for a more realistic materials Link to the official one

my drawing of link on the left with the official render of Link from the Ocarina remake on the right. I wonder if Link's hair just parts naturally like that or does navi comb it for him every morning

⚔️🔥CAPTURE QUEST: CHARIZARD🔥⚔️ I have wanted to paint this for over a decade and spent the last year of my life fighting to bring it to the finish line. Please take a look, there is a lot to see

Gargantuan illustration of a charizard redesigned in the style of a monster hunter elder dragon. There are 4 hunters attacking him and their pikapalico is readying a voltorb bomb to throw. There is so much stuff in there, I spent a damn year on this. I'm exhausted.

thinking about the popularity of so many "redraw trends" and plagiarism of compositions by all sorts of artists (it comes up often for gposing but 2D artists do it too). i have to sum up my discomfort with it as follows: it's artists treating other artists the same way A/I treats art as data

Cleaning up and organizing some work files.... don't think I ever shared these test renders of the Kryptis Skyscale from GW2 Secrets of the Obscure. Bits and pieces of him ended up getting reused throughout that expansion like demon lego bricks. He kinda makes me think of raw chicken. #art #gw2

lol twitter continues to steal ideas from bluesky, you can now add different feeds to your timeline. As with most features they steal, its worse than here as you cannot have custom feeds. It is nice to be able to just see art without bullshit though to keep up with artists that dont post elsewhere.

screenshot of my twitter timeline with the feeds options opened. I have pinned both art and digital art feeds and can actually see art without having to trudge through ragebait

Not to get all reddit atheist but its a concerning parallel to religion the way people get funneled into adhering to nebulous dogma via social media. Its been said before but people like zuck get to effectively be mortal gods reshaping the world in their image. We need a social media iconoclasm.

Mixing arthropod style chitinous armor into dragons was quite a rarity in this era, even more so in the western art sphere. I’ve never seen this piece before but really cool to see how ahead of the game Wrightson was.

So you know how at any given point there is like a million bugs flying in the sky above you that you cant see because they are too small and high up? You ever think about how if pokemon world had the same animal density we do they would be living under a sea of bug flesh at all times?
