Random little design thing I've been trying to be more cognizant of as I pick away at this WIP character design -- consciously playing straights against curves. Adds structural integrity, variety, appeal and generally makes your curves feel curvier! (which is nice on an extremely organic character.)

Someone else said something very similar to this the other day, but. It really burns me that our (millennials') generation was legally terrorized for like, downloading Radiohead discographies But we're supposed to be ok with billionaires stealing human intellectual output in its entirety bc AI

I love it when conservatives brag about being too chickenshit to exist in public.

Welcome to Shroom Haven! A colorful, peaceful grotto full of fun guys.

A little preview design sheet for a bigger project that I've been working on!

"She designed Jar Jar Binks" might sound like an insult, but it's really not. Terryl Whitlatch's design is incredible.

I had a really great art week! To celebrate, behold this chubby lil bug I drew. Glowbugs are special creatures that light the way through dark tunnels in my little game design personal project.

Let my kid have a half hour of Ms Rachel today so my wife and I could do a Blue Prince run

“Lucky for me, he only eats Flarebugs – heh heh," the insect vendor croaks out, gesturing to the enormous frilled salamander splayed languidly underneath her traveling shop, atop which sits a woven cage filled with the only bugs capable of lighting up the dimmest, blackest caverns in Shroom Haven.

A couple of peculiar loot crates I designed for Pantheon. Wonder what weird stuff you'll find inside?

Anybody else love drawing but hate doing "line work"? I've always struggled with the entire concept of "finished" lines, and am always trying to eke out a workflow that balances careful planning with directness and spontaneity. Anyway, here's little character piece that is part of that exploration.

Hi #PortfolioDay! I'm an illustrator and concept artist for videogames, currently looking for work. You can check out more of my work at brettnuckles.artstation.com!

Those ancient coastal people were the only ones on the planet who could tap into the ocean’s magic. With this power, they created the Dewdrops, crystalline blue spheres where souls can be stored after the body has failed. A secret they kept -- for a time. But where did they all go?

Hey guys, SAG is still striking over AI protections. So the next time you want to ask me why english actors in a game are not going into record, GO LOOK AT WHY WE ARE STRIKING. It is much more complicated than switching studios. All the information is available on SAG/AFTRA'S website about why.

I think this is what a lot of non-creative people don't get about art. That it's *not* a process that can be optimised for maximum efficiency - the milling around and trying things and scrapping them and building on the core of a good idea those less good ideas had *is* the process.

It's a good plan. Gotta respect it.

BRONZE FACES with @boom-studios.com is the next comic from Shof and me. Three childhood friends (Sango, Timi, and Gbonka) attempt a series of global heists to steal back the Benin Bronzes. On pencils is Eisner and Harvey Award-winning artist Alex Tefengki. This one's a little special ;)

Hi Bluesky! What's up. I painted this lil shroom house as a first image in a new cozy personal project.
