If you were a writer/narrative designer laid off recently (or not so recently and are still LFW) and there's ANYTHING I can do - lend an ear, look at a resume/portfolio, put in a good word for you somewhere - PLEASE let me know. Because my god, we have to look out for each other out here.

I'm currently available for work! I have 15 years of experience making art for games - pixel art and 2D, be it still or animated :) I'm specially open for illustrative work, commissions, part time and/or short-term projects! 🎨 lunascimento.art 📬 lunascimento.art@gmail.com

Environment diorama/concept art for Glimmer, a puzzle game. It features a lighthouse and tiles of different biomes, such as quarry, beach, grass, thorns, etc. The colours are warm.

Pixel art. It's a window to someone's living room, full of plants and moving boxes. A person and a dog look to the outside, where birds fly around a tower of light.

Pixel Art. Game boy-like title and success screen for Forest Adventure, a birdwatching mini-game in Assemble with Care.

Illustration made to be the cover and poster of Wireframe Magazine's Issue 55 that featured a spread on Moonglow Bay.
Two people and a dog are sat happily fishing on a pier. A Racoon steals some of their catches. You can see different biomes on the background.

This is Frey, the protagonist of an upcoming webcomic I'm developing. In it, she hunts cryptids and faces her past in the far aftermath of a human-machine war.

Sketch of a female knight in plate armor. She holds her sword at her side in one hand, and wiping blood from her face with the other.

Medieval manuscript style illustration of a female knight standing at the ready, sword in hand. Behind her is a tree, and at her feet is a crushed soda can and a wood plank.

Realizing I named this killer robot like something the AIMS Team would fist fight on Mountain Monsters. Which I guess is appropriate, since my protagonist literally goes out into the woods to fist fight it.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

Anyone know what I can do with song lyrics when I myself do not play an instrument (and am not confident in my singing voice or DAW skills)? Just woke up from another dream where half of what I wrote down were lyrics to a song someone played in it.

Attention #artists! Stop guessing your hourly rate. If you need $2,760/mo to survive, but you only do "deep work" for 20 hours a week... Charging $25/hr means you are slowly going bankrupt. Here is the math. 🧵

New from my distributor I foolishly read on this, my supposed week off. @ironcircuscomics.bsky.social does a lot of library business. I'm dreading that January statement. Gang, if you have ever wanted an Iron Circus title, now would be a wonderful time for you to grab one. 💀 store.ironcircus.com

Dear Publisher -

We recently shared the news that Baker & Taylor was shutting down operations. When we learned they were financially unstable, Ingram took many steps to reduce credit exposure and stock levels, while continuing availability of books to library customers. Those steps were highly successful and the credit balance to the account was brought down significantly over time. At the time they shut down operations, their remaining stock on hand was minimal.

Unfortunately, we have received notice that they will not pay the outstanding amounts they do owe and no further stock will be returned. Ingram is taking on the first $100,000, but the debt owed exceeds that amount. As a result, a chargeback for your pro rata share will be on your December statement (available the first week of January), per the terms of your contract.

Happy October! ✨ In the spirit of the season, it's time to reshare our first short story and one of my favorites, Every Day. (1/8)

Page 1:

Title: Every Day, By A. Stiffler and K. Copeland

Panel 1 is a long black panel with the text: We spend every day together.

The rest of the comic is in shades of muted blue. Panel 1: A top down shot of a delicate teacup filled with a dark liquid, and a pale plate with a piece of toast on it-- a bite taken out of one corner. Text: She likes earl grey in the morning, with plain toast.
Panel 2: A woman sitting at a table, smiling as she holds the same teacup.
Panel 3: A woman biting her lip while looking in the mirror, putting on a long necklace with a bird pendant. Text: She's the love of my life.

HUMAN artists, use only one art piece to convince people to follow you!

A floating, pumpkin-headed figure with a glowing jack-o-lantern face. It's body is a surreal swirl of squiggly and flowing ribbons. Surrounding the figure is the text: "FUCK IT, HALLOWEEN STARTS NOW."
