Impatient for the Silksong trend to fade away so we can finally speak about other games and see different type of fanarts again 😘

Also @tedartsel.bsky.social that you already know made if you follow me (former Hytale artist) made the sketch for this

Please give a follow to @lauklart.bsky.social who is a talented artist from Strasbourg - really stunning illustration work on this poster.

Here is the result of the printed mousepad! It turned out cozy.

Something I never shared here, was my fan art of #Hytale in 2D #pixelart style, that we printed on a mousepad for the team past year, for Christmas 😍 . This was purely my side project, so don't get too excited : There has never been a real Hytale 2D game (yet...haha)

Of course it's autumn peace... Not piece.

I won't lie, this summer was one of the toughest period I had to go through.

I called this old artwork "autumn piece"...hopefuly it's whats coming 🦊

My prints are 30% off on Inprnt!

I don't have the proper words to say more than this now but

I was just laid off. My role at Giant Squid is being eliminated.

If your studio is looking for an environment artist, please let me know ASAP. I have 5+ years of experience.

thank you

Yeah I admit I don't know much about them. I relate because I've been laid off by Riot games recently. I believe the change will come from the people at the bottom. Industry is fucked for sure. Sharks are everywhere. but every drops of positive change will eventually form a sea of positive things.

Exactly my thoughts. It's tough atm. This is why many of us go indie and try to make their own teams, operate in a more ethical way

I am happy you're enjoying it :) .

I guess what frustrates me is seeing what it COULD have been ( a masterpiece) and getting this thing, feels like Disney shitting on a License once again. I didn't know it was supposed to be set before Alien (1)...This is nuts, wtf!

Ok, the only concession I would make is that some creature shots are entertaining if you push it after episode 3...but it's a bit masochist to push it as far

From environment design, to acting, photography, costumes, story coherence - I think there isn't a single thing which doesn't piss me off in #AlienEarth. It's so bad, why is it so bad... Such a missed opportunity

I'm happy to share of couple of UI art & motion targets I crafted a few years ago for Hytale. These were publicly shared on Hytale website a while ago (due to NDA I cannot share much more).

And if you're curious this was one of my "simulations" with the Kweebec integrated in a grasslands in Legacy. The creature was posed and not animated.

This helped evaluate if textures, level of detail, values, etc. were consistent with the world

Kweebec Protector - A 3D model I made for #Hytale that we never had a chance to fully implement.

They were supposed to be older and more serious versions of #kweebecs, before they grow and eventually turn into Tree Singers

gAI art is bad because it's stealing labor.

stealing labor from art is easy because no one sees art as labor, they see it as talent.

they see it as talent because it's easier to believe they have a right to hate you because they can't stand they gave up and you didn't.

fuck them, pay labor.

Thank you. It's about being heartbroken after losing someone

Exploring little things with my alcohol markers on sketchbook #sketch #conceptart

Certainly not but thanks
