And another animation wrapped up! Wanted to focus on a special move sequence/style. Got to use a ton of VFX which was fun! Credit to Truong CG Artist for the Cyborg rig & Arthurnal for the NC11 rig! What do you think? #3danimation #animation #fightsequence #fighting #videogame

Game failure? Layoffs Game success? Layoffs Game delayed? Layoffs Game delivered? Layoffs Game announced? Layoffs Game unannounced? Layoffs Game good? Layoffs Game bad? Layoffs Game AI? Layoffs Game no-AI? Layoffs Game hated? Layoffs Game beloved? Layoffs Money cares more for layoffs than games.

So, let me get this straight: • People are rapidly being let go/losing their jobs (Thanks in part to both Capitalism and AI) • We've less jobs than there are people in their respective fields • Industries aren't willing to hire permanently and so there's no job security

Despite already grossing more than $1.2 billion at the box office this year, Pixar is among the divisions hit hardest by Disney’s latest layoffs. Sources tell us future films will be made by smaller teams under a new “long and lean” production model. www.cartoonbrew.com/artist-right...

@timsormin.bsky.social I had the pleasure of watching TennoCon on stream and it's genuinely so incredible to see you using the vfx rigs in the early stages of animation work!

It's my birthday! 💜⚡ The best gift I could ask for is sharing my art! I am freelancing and looking for work. My main expertise is illustrative character art but also comics, concept art and inclusive community management for spaces in the entertainment field. 🔗 brighan.com 💌 infobrighan@gmail.com

An illustration from Starfinder; Warframe: Operation: Orias. Arthur and Aoi from Warframe 1999 are fighting back to back against a group of Corpus Crewmen that is surrounding them in an installation that has turned to wreckage. Arthur is wielding his exalted sword while leaning forward and gritting his teeth, making a crewman fall against the snow of Venus. Aoi is using her magnetic powers full of determination in an intense bright green blast defeating another crewmen, whose helmet is getting thrown into the air. The trail of her powers is also changin the trajectory of a bullet than an Eximus is aiming at Arthur, making it describe a curve around her waist and move it towards the unit aiming at Arthur from the left side. A ship is flying over the sunset above them as a drone stays close and trying to shoot at both without avail due to Aoi's powers.

An illustration of Flare and Lizzie from Warframe 1999. Flare is using their first ability, spreading one leg towards the camera and winking an eye with a soft smile while Lizzie casts an equalizer around Flare that displays a little heart in front of their left shoulder pad.
They're performing in an scenario with fire casting light from both sides. Different pride flags are hanging on the upper half of the screen behind them. From left to right: lesbian flag, bisexual flag, transgender flag, gay flag, and the progressive pride flag.

An illustration based on the painting "The Favorite" by John William Godward, but this time the woman playing with a cat with a peacock's father is Ikora. The marble statue sculpted on the bench is as Cayde-6's bust.

A full rendered illustration of Amir Beckett from Warframe 1999. He is doing a backflip like in his gemini skin animation in an Autumn Höllvania setting. He is winking an eye at camera while doing a korean heart sign with his right hand.

Adult games can no longer launch in Early Access on Steam. This is devastating for small projects (like my own!) because EA can be a much-needed lifeline while games are still in development
