Choop Choop! by Batelbi Survive your work day as a train conductor while chaos reigns around you, the loop must go on!

Took part in the GMTK jam this year as a team of three! It was very fun to design UI and get more comfortable with Aseprite and animations :) I think the game turned out quite fun! Let me know your thoughts if you try it out

Support the creatives in your life as much as possible right now. Every single one I know is struggling *exceptionally* hard lately, myself included

Gouache portrait, the three images are the same, portraits of different women

Gouache portrait of a woman, with a warm palette

This one uses a very warm palette, with pinks and purples

Long time no see, I've been practicing gouache portraits in my free time for fun :)

Painted some time ago, night time car trip vibes :3

Excerpt from a paper on generative 3d: "A significant challenge, however, is the limited availability of 3D assets suitable for model training. Creating 3D content requires specialized skills and expertise, making such assets much scarcer than other visual media like images and videos. This scarcity raises a key research question of how to design scalable models to generate high-quality 3D assets from such data efficiently."

every paper i read about generative AI mentions the limited available data of 3D models as a problem for them

yep

i'm never going to share another 3d model to a model viewer that could be scraped or bought until AI is dead and buried

Thanks<3 I was experimenting with some watercolour brush in Clips studio

Even after asymptomatic infections. Or "mild" (which doesn't exist with Covid) infections.

Health Canada updated their Covid/Long Covid information this summer and it never made it to mainstream media. If you know odds, you'll know these odds are bad.

1 in 5 infections results in LC

Covid informed folks are often branded as annoying.

If you also stayed informed on Covid and knew that it is a mass disabling virus that’s made everyone high risk for strokes, cancer, vascular issues, and that causes brain damage and immune system dysfunction, you'd probably want to warn people too

Cant pin posts yet but I'll make one just in case :3 Hi, I'm Esther, a 3d environment artist currently working in the games industry! I'm specialised in handpainting but I do also love stylised PBR art 🌸 this is some of my work!

Give yourself 3 months of dedicated art practice AND:

- Draw 30-60 min a day minimum
- Draw what you love
- Surround yourself with creative people
- Analyze what is working/not working in your practice
- Regularly ask for feedback from peers

I guarantee you'll see results. 💪

Reminder that your art doesn’t have to get you anything or have monetary value. You can just make it because you enjoy it and never post it online for engagement dopamine. It can be something that’s yours, for you. Even if you’re the only person who likes it, It can be just as important if others do

Thank you!!

:3 yay

3d handpainted model of a sword with gothic thematic

A few weeks ago I started this very WIP handpainted project :3 concept by @kairuiz.bsky.social

I uploaded more of my work for Wayfinder! I had to make a set of Farm houses for our area called "Frostmarch", both intact and destroyed. With that came some R&D for chunky hay roofs.
You can see more variations of these houses in my breakdown:

Thank you for all the follows! I am quite busy right now but I'll check them at some point to follow back :3

Btw I found a job right after this so I'm doing well! But I'll keep posting art 🫶

Have they added DMS to bluesky?

I think it's time to come back to bluesky 👀

This has been said by more eloquent people than myself but my god do I just want to scream when I see human creativity reduced to the word "content".

Glaze 2.0 is playing so well with my work :D

Thank you so much!

Hey everyone! I'd like to announce that I am looking for work! I am open to freelance and full time opportunities, any leads regarding stylised PBR or handpainted 3D environment positions would be appreciated 💙

I would love a return for more handpainted textures. There is so much more artistry there than just slapping on enough noises to make sure there's enough detail in every crevice in every LOD.

Come on people, social media didn’t make kids bad at reading comprehension. That frames the unacceptable as inevitable. Mass disinvestment from humanities education, from teaching nuance, critique, and deliberation did. Policy is the problem and policy is the solution. Eyes on the prize.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are in bed. Blue is asleep, Green is awake and staring at him keenly. Green, thinking: I want to cuddle, but I can't wake you up. Green continues staring as Blue shows no indication of being about to wake up. Green, still in thought: Come on, show some sign of being awake. Green looks at Blue in excitement as Blue yawns. Green leaps at the opportunity to cuddle Blue, who seems bleary-eyed but not fully awake. Green, still in thought: Sleepers don't yawn.
