Saw this bust and had to do a study of it. I referenced the colors from a recreation of another statue of Athena done by Mfab.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Coming out of games journalist retirement for exactly five seconds and having enough time to do a better job than that New York Times article
A scooby doo two panel meme of a villain being unmasked, asking "let's see what's making videogames unsustainable". The first panel has the mask captioned as "state of the art graphics" and the second panel had the unmasked villain captioned "ceo salaries"

#artvsartist 2024 was.. wild. First half was me finally fully focusing on my growth in management & doing what I loved at Riot, EOY was navigating a layoff on an H1B visa in the US. Rn I'm still searching for my next full-time role in Character Art, working on my portfolio, learning new workflows 🫡
