Wait what? One of my fav games just got a treatment by an anti-AI team in those times? Am I dreaming or what?

I realized that I haven't taken any photos of my puppies playing outside recently... Maybe I should change that?

As Znivember is just around the corner, the amount of soft marketable content with our lovable dinosaur duo will surely increase.. 🦕 Sadly no anime adaptation, comic books or bootleg VHS copies just yet, BUT you can enjoy affordable, hand-drawn & animated dinosaur point and click adventures today!

Good autumnal weather! Me: I will go to a park to portably do my art job AND enjoy the beautiful weather. My old bones deserve some autumnal warmth! Me: happily sat on the bench. Every influencer-wanna-be: I'm doing a photo-session and THIS bench is PERFECT to be in the background.

I’m so sad. I absolutely loved Yo-kai Watch for its creativity, personality, and sense of humour. Watching it get fed into the AI grinder and churned into slop feels like a slap in the face to the artists who gave the series its soul in the first place. A game about souls, stripped of its own...

Today I had one of the most horrid and day-long headaches. Couldn't move or do anything. It didn't help that they were mowing the small and double-fenced grass patch next to my window for 8 hours, and with the closed windows it got exhaustingly humid and hot in the room...

Somehow, without doing anything, I leveled up my rendering skills to the next, previously unachievable, level and now I paint like a pro. Still can't draw an accurate human to save my life though.

A friendly reminder that the KS for the pterosaur book will close tomorrow! Good pterosaur media is so rare that it's definitely worth supporting! A good bunch paleoartists contributed to it too! #sciart

I assure you that flaws in anatomy, perspective, light and shadow are entirely my own. Sometimes because I'm tired, sometimes because I'm sick of a piece, sometimes time, and sometimes because of sheer oversight. A lot of the time because I didn't sketch enough beforehand. But all 100% human.
A sign design that reads "100% Human Made, Dinosaur approved in a ring around a depiction of a theropod dinosaur footprint with a human handprint inside of it.

Frame-by-frame, I manually animated Zniw's walk cycle in 8 directions (she is asymmetrical). That was about 720 individual frames for 12 fps animation. One guy said that the character "stutters" and asked why her walk cycle isn't smooth (as: in 60 fps, tweened Flash animation)

Due to the heatwave (heatstorm?) I literally couldnt do anything. I had planned finishing and starting a few things but all I got were lasting headache, nausea, dizziness, tiredness... My whole body was achy. I was so weak that I spent one day entirely laying in bed and sleeping...
