Tesla sued after Austin shooting suspect allegedly assaulted co-worker A 65-year-old woman says the automaker ignored warning signs before Ndiaga Diagne, the suspect in Sunday’s mass shooting, assaulted her. She sued Thursday.

the Austin mass shooter was a Tesla employee who assaulted a coworker during a company-allowed prayer break late last year

the company refused to give the victim her assailant's name so she could press charges, and he went on to become a mass shooter

Fun lil clay render of an old piece that I still think is pretty -v-

A week before I turn another year older and I feel like I haven’t made any progress in life besides losing some but not enough weight. I’m tired.

The video game industry decided to discontinue their product, the video game, in exchange for trying to make Fortnites. They have in recent years found out this doesn't work, so they have pivoted from making Fortnites to making ????????????????? nothing I guess

I do not like this gen AI
I do not like what it implies
I do not want it in my art
I do not think it makes you smart
I do not want it in my games
I do not like its goals and aims
I do not want it in my books
I do not like the way it looks
I do not like it, I don't care
I do not want it anywhere

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

It's been a while but I'm working on this jester project again!! fully handpainted, I probably need another polish pass on the textures to match it with the weapon, but I'm starting on the rigging part now ✨

painting of a scene from the game horizon zero dawn, of an overgrown post apocalyptic city and a large tallneck machine in the background

I love my cards :-) can’t wait to announce my store soon 💚

"you need to learn how to use gAI or you'll get left behind!"

counterpoint!

the absolute fastest way to render yourself unemployable is to build your skillset around a tool that does your thinking for you, that everyone has access to, and that one company can change or take away at any time

kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it

Anyways.

Idk I wanna learn and do art but all the AI stuff and doing enough 3d at work has me satisfied. I continue to struggle to really click with drawing for myself and at clay maybe clay is the right balance of new and old and physical. All in due time I suppose.

Been over a week since I’ve stopped art doing outside of work and it’s been nice. Haven’t felt the pressure but also am slowly gaining the urge back. I know at the very least any new art won’t be digital maybe at least but not for a while. Am tired.

Glad people are settling on the term "pervert glasses". Bonus points if you also say it while posting a picture of Mark Zuckerberg or call them Mark Zuckerberg's pervert glasses.

I was the Environment Lead at Stoic for almost 5 years. Working on this game with the environment crew has truly been a career highlight for me.

Images are from the rare opportunities I got to contribute, alongside leading all of the incredible artists listed below!
