Crow tender

A little Shanoa in a style closer to SotN

something that frustrates me about genAI discourse is how much importance is placed on if the output can fool people, as if that's an objective worth striving for

the Turing test hinges on if a human can be deceived but ultimately that's all it is measuring, it's a very flawed metric

It's been a while since my last post!
Here's an update on my game :D

Its a shame ai designed pathogens and data center pollution will wipe out half of humanity, but itll be so worth it 20 years from now when these inbred halfwits finally generate a barely playable 15 minute demo of skyrim with pixel art graphics

A fluffy little creature rests peacefully, surrounded by ancient machinery of unknown purpose.

A poster for an unreleased game called Fara & The Eye of Darkness. A solo magical space witch stands at the center, surrounded by mysterious characters and creatures of all kinds.

Concept art for a fantasy barn.

Marketing art for a game called Super Leap Day. Five characters stand in the center, with slices of five levels featured in the game in the background, each contrasting with the others.

Hey there, friends!

I'm looking for some nice freelance work. Let me know if you need some art done for your projects or know someone who does. I work with standard market rates.

Let's collab!
