So sick of these companies grouping things that already existed and worked (background removal, basic gen fill to expand a simple background) with image generation to try to normalize the latter and charge for the former.

If you like AI tools, youโ€™ll use Photoshop, if you donโ€™t but need a powerful photo editing software, youโ€™ll still use Photoshop. If you donโ€™t need power, but convenience, youโ€™ll use Canva.

While Affinity Photo has some wins over Photoshop, itโ€™s overall now just a worse Photoshop.

It was such an honor to be nominated for the "Best Actor" category in this year's Spooktober VN Awards for my role as Laura in 'If One Goes Astray.'

This game was created by a stunningly talented, passionate team, and I'm thrilled to have been a part of this story!

I still have a bunch of spooktober games on my to play list because I only got around to a handful of submissions so far, but from what I've seen and heard it's once again an amazing year for spooktober submissions

IOGA got 5th place overall in the community voting out of over 200 entries!! I'm blown away by the positive reception, thank you to everyone who played our game and gave it a rating ๐Ÿ’š

But other than me being concerned about the changes they may or may not be making, I'm very happy with the Affinity Suite v2 so far and it wasn't difficult to learn at all

I use Affinity Publisher, but as far as I'm aware it's not downloadable right now. They are apparently announcing something big soon, so I'm a bit hesitant to recommend it. Who knows what state the software will be in once the store is back up ๐Ÿ˜…

Folks! Iโ€™m looking for an illustrator to do some in-game artwork for an unannounced project on a contract basis in November.

Feel free to shoot me a DM with your portfolio if youโ€™re interested!

Must be based in the UK, and absolutely no AI ๐ŸŒŸ

I actually learned this in an audio class. You shouldn't use bass boosted headphones when working on audio. Your bass will probably be weaker than intended because you're listening to it through boosted headphones. This is the same principle but for contrast.

Personally I'd recommend setting your screen to whatever settings it comes with out of the box, no film mode or high contrast or whatever. Those settings may make things look nicer but when working on art, you'll probably end up picking colors that look dull on other screens.

I could be available in November/December โ€“ My experience is mostly in corporate graphic and web design, but based on what you're looking for I think my game UI portfolio is probably a closer style match

An illustration with a decorative white border. In the center, a large, dark gray skinned man with glowing eyes is lying on his back, and a much shorter man with pale skin and long hair is resting on his shoulder, nude and draped in a dark blue cloth. In the background, various versions of the shorter man are lying dead, with a ripple effect distorting them and the background.

A group portrait of five men (two at the top, one in the center, two at the bottom), with each of the outer four looking yearningly at the man in the center. The top-left man has dark skin, red eyes looking away from the viewer, and black coily hair which is tied back with a red ribbon.  The top-right man has pale white skin and long, silver hair and yellow eyes, and is wearing a black bodysuit mask over his mouth and nose. The man in the center has medium tan skin and long, dark blue hair with silver streaks. His eyes are golden. The bottom-left man has light skin, short black hair with a silver gradient at its roots, a mustache, and is wearing a decorative red rose eyepatch over his visible eye. The bottom-right man has light skin, blonde hair cut into a choppy jellyfish cut with curls at the bottom, and pale blue eyes.
