A log cabin full of game devs sounds either very fun or very disastrous. I hope it's the former!

Illustration of "slug" people with slug tails, antenna, and thick slug-like chunks of hair. One character, Hashi, has eyes stitched shut in an H-formation; the other character, Rix, has eyes stitched in an X-formation. Hashi wears a gothic long coat. Rix wears a ruffle blouse and swallowtail vest. Bright yellow background with faded smiley face that also has stitched eyes.

My Pinterest board is full of ouji fashion after drawing these slug people. Now I want ouji clothes. Life imitates art.

Thankfully, I donโ€™t feel this way about stylized art anymore. I wasn't able to articulate it before, but there is a lot of skill that goes into stylized art: posing, perspective, exaggeration, composition, lighting, colour, silhouette, etc. I want to get better at drawing dynamic shapes!

B/W lineart illustration using screentones. A grouchy person in a suit, Lucy, sits in a chair. A faded image of a blindfolded monster looms in the background.

If I told my younger self I was going to try using screentones, my reaction wouldโ€™ve been, โ€œWTF, NO.โ€ My initial aversion to stylized art came from the stigma against cartoons; I felt like I had to draw realistically to be taken seriously.

Sketch of a grinning man with snake eyes pulling a piece of intestine through his mouth. Four snakes come out of his back, and one is perched on his shoulder.

I like how the shapes were chunkier in the #sketch vs the final version. ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜น๐˜ต ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ

Illustration of a grinning man with yellow snake eyes pulling a piece of intestine through his mouth. Four white snakes come out of his back, and one is perched on his shoulder. His cowl and pants are splattered with blood. Bright red background.

Things I should be doing to make myself a more employable concept artist:
Environment and prop concepts
Turnarounds
Learn 3D

What I actually have energy to draw after a day at work:
Monsters ๐Ÿ
