While I'm still out of work, I figured I'd try a new angle.
I already have tutoring experience with this lesson format, so I figured why not?

Calls can be held over Discord or Google Hangouts; whichever's easier! Message me directly if you're interested and please do share to help my reach! ๐Ÿ’›

I can assist with painting skills (light, colour, perspective etc), personal concept art and illustration.

Come find me at #Develop this week!

On Wednesday at 2pm, I'll be doing a talk on painting 2D in such a way that it looks 3D, and when to do that as a Concept Artist!

This is my first on-stage talk and I am really excited (and somewhat nervous if I'm honest!) I don't have a massive online following, so please do share this about!

I'm speaking at @developconference.com on how to paint in 2D in a way that looks 3D- but also WHEN TO and when not to as a professional concept artist.

It's at 2pm on Wednesday July 9th!

Some close ups of the trans/Intersex/Enby gummies I painted.

There's so much more to say- which I've said on Instagram. But here I'll just say; a man is not going to go through YEARS of expensive medical transitioning, make himself a public target, just to get into a bathroom. Trans people are not a threat.

Trans people are only trying to find their way to living happily in their own bodies. That's it. It's not about me or you. It's not our business to control what they do with their bodies- like it's no ones business to control ours.

The bottom line: you need to stumble to be better.

The warning sign: 'not work' (out of order)
The top two alongside are numbers (07:35 and 404)
The two underneath are prepositions, to and from.
The long paragraph is just random; like when an internet page is broken/corrupted and you just get a lot of letters.

Not likely sadly! I was the only one who could write/design Foolish and I no longer work there, so don't have access to the dictionary and rules for it!

Yea there is! Any consonant with a stalk dropping down/flicking out to the right has a 'y' sound after it (ny- my- by- dy-) And the ones with tails curling to the left have 'g' sounds following ('ng'.) The consonants are a lot like they are in English. Vowels... There are a lot of vowels

I would be -so- honoured to have Foolish up on Omniglot but sadly I don't work at Epic games anymore and so don't have access to the Foolish dictionary/grammar guide. I think I'd also have to create some of the sentences there too.

14.03.2025 13:09 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Anything like ษณษช indicates a negative (no/don't/not)

! with two dots underneath indicates the imperative; 'don't fall!' is an instruction.

-รถรถรถรถg is a plural professional suffix (Yii = win and รถรถรถรถg being '-ers'.)

The upside down umbrella-thing is the preposition 'to.'

bi is 'is/am/are/be'

14.03.2025 13:07 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

1. On the left it says 'play' on the right it says 'don't fall!
2. 'winners art'
3. 'Fall to be winners' (sorta like the phrase you gotta fail before you succeed)
4. 'play ball'

Just what's on my website! Only Epic employees would have access to the detailed grammar guide now. However, stuff released after I was laid off in 2023 seems not to follow it; the alphabet is just being used decoratively and other symbols have been made up in place of existing symbols.

...Plus, as a little treat, I'll show you my messy scribbley concepts that I don't put online (the perfectionist in me is screaming.) 'Cause I'm not only talking about 'how to' paint 2D like it's been done in 3D, but also 'when to' in a professional setting.

Exciting news: I'm speaking at Develop this year!

Completely from scratch (I never use 3D tools or models) I'll walk through my process from the base drawing, through to a concept-ready stage and then beyond to the fully rendered illustration.

Have you ever come across a word for the smell of autumn mist? It smells a bit like woodsmoke to me, but I have never found a name for it!

Some new art! I have just finished a contract on the indie physics sandbox game #CozyMarbles ๐ŸŸ 
Please do check it out on Steam, it's been amazing working on it.

I forgot how BlueSky URLs look and Googled my account... I did not expect to get an AI Overview. It's out of date, but I appreciate '2D paintings of architecture and whimsical things' as well as mentioning my focus on colour and light. And to refer to me as 'Kerins' has me feeling very posh indeed ๐ŸคŒ

Some material studies I did on Fall Guys when I had some time. We would talk about what nature in Fall Guys looks like nearly every season, so I thought I'd finally take a look at it.
