My pieces for Women's Concept Art Associations' recent inaugural Studio Jam! My team did pieces for a paranormal murder mystery on a steampunk train and I did the engine room! The character art for scale/style ref was by @ninootny.bsky.social ! #conceptart #visdev

A cutout concept of a brass and gold engine room, full of strange knobs and gears and levers. The engine door itself is shaped like a glowing skull.

The engine room bathed in neon blue light, with neon pink pulsing at the edges of each object.

Okay, last thing then I'm done. Meet Firecycle and Whirlpool, two characters that never came to be and definitely would not have looked like this even if they had. Enjoy!

They're also dipping into MTMTE/LL characters, which I know will tip a few of you over the edge into collecting these! Drift and Cyclonus:

Probably the most well-received work I did for IDW was this Transformers cover. In terms of numbers of likes and reshares I don't think anything else I did came close. But what mattered most to me was so many creatives I admire and was inspired by seemed to really like it, too.

My variant cover to issue 41 of IDW's second Transformers continuity, featuring the giant Computron being swarmed by Strika's Heavies (Blitzwing, Lugnut, Apeface, Snaptrap, and Obsidian) as she slugs him in the face.

I worked on a two-page strip that was intended to be included as a bonus for a European MTMTE collection, but was never approved. It spun out of the annual, and was coloured by @cwingsyun.bsky.social. He can share those if he likes.

Sureshot and Pointblank race down a metal corridor before taking shelter in a nook in the wall. They are being pursued by an entity unknown. Drills suddenly tear through the wall behind them.

Meanwhile, an enraged Ultra Magnus barges into Rodimus' office and slaps a data pad on the table. The words 'Nanocon mission briefing - Back-up team' can be read. Rodimus sheepishly admits to forgetting about that, and we focus in on Magnus' eye until we see two tiny figures run passed the lens. Finally, we reveal Sureshot and Pointblank fleeing from a surviving and highly aggressive Nanocon.

This is spectacular, folks. We live in a moment in American history when the president and his administration are so racist and dumb that a toy company has to put out a statement saying: "OUR GIANT ROBOT THAT TURNS INTO A TRUCK DENOUNCES RACISM AND HAS NO CONNECTION TO THE CURRENT PRESIDENT."

Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.

Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

not coincidental that the highly-skilled labor is often exactly the kind of labor that's already systemically undervalued. domestic work (meal planning, emotional labor), admin work (note-taking, delegating, scheduling), some of the trades (home renovation, carpentry, etc)

I definitely appreciate the sentiment and the difficult position people are in now when hiring, but I guess that means we all gotta make sure to add anti-AI wording to our portfolios now, a thing it has never occurred to me to do despite yelling about AI on social media constantly 🫠

The Disney renaissance movies used to look different. They were planned to be printed on 35 mm film -- that's how they were first released. Modern editions skip that last step in the process. It was a highly developed, overlooked craft, as we explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/disneys-fi...

Took Alexandria Neonakis’ Schoolism class on costuming, and the main assignment was to design the costume for a character in a book, movie, etc. I designed Mina Harker from the book Dracula! I tried to make her outfits as close to 1880/1890’s designs as I could.
