I also bought a new journal cover for the first time in 6 years, so I'm pretty excited to use that too!

New month, new journal layout! After using blank grid for the past few years, I'm gonna try a completely blank notebook for next year so I'm kinda excited for that 😊

Drawing of a little girl trying to finish her homework. This is art from one of the books I recently illustrated about a little girl and her grandpa learning about Chinese writing and the history behind it, I really enjoyed working on this one.

When I see devs talking about and defending themselves using genAI I see them like a mr beast or the Paul brothers. You may find success but I’m never going to engage with what you make but I’ll definitely call it out for a net negative for the industry you’re helping to push for in the long run.

You can have the fastest artists in the world and still have long development times with scope creep and decision makers who constantly change their minds on what they want 🫠 huge yikes

He continued: “On the contrary, thanks to the time created by AI efficiency, creators are now able to dedicate more time to the essence of creation, and I believe the finished products are turning out to a level that will satisfy everyone even more than before.

“Ultimately, under the plan to shorten the current 5-year development period for major titles to 2 years, we are in the stage of trial and error, and struggling forward.

“That said, it’s undeniable that this time, out of the desire to create a clear and flashy presentation, we ended up using AI in a wide variety of ways. We will take this as a lesson and carry it forward to the next one, so please look forward to Level Five’s next presentation.”

Lately I've been thinking about van Gogh's Starry Night and how beautiful it is to be able to paint how you see the world, and how different people can look at one thing and have as many different ways to depict it. That's beauty
