Let's watch it together :3

The artistic freedom of game developers is fundamental to games as a cultural medium. Any restrictions improsed by payment service providers or games platforms must not exceed the legal limits. In Germany, thanks in part to the USK, clear, binding and established rules apply that must be adhered to. Furthermore, creative forms of expressions or certain themes in games, such as diversity, must not be targeted by individual interests or campaigns from particularly vocal groups, as is currently observed on Steam or itch.io. The terms and conditions of global payment service providers such as Visa, Mastercard, or Paypal must not conflict with European values such as freedom of expression or artistic freedom. We therefore call on the companies involved to design their rules and offerings in a manner that ensures complicance with applicable laws and prevents overblocking.

GAME, the German game industry trade association, released this *damn* good statement on the unjust NSFW game takedowns

Can only guess but I think it's for collecting the trophies below. Like a fucked-up necklace on a string.

Amazing!!! How we, the viewer, are the next in line is just brrrrrrr. Fantastic job!

In Paris I see people hanging out in the evenings, going to cheap art galleries, valuing fashion, enjoying food and talking about ideas. Meanwhile in the US we're devising "hacks" to not engage with art, ingest the bare minimum to live, and become the most efficient personality-free drones possible.

I think it's just too much of the same at the moment. I have drawn full bodies too, and I agree, changing scope will keep things fresh! Thanks!

URLAUB! ;v;

Step a bit away from online spaces if you can. Call a friend. You can write me a DM if you want. I know I'm just an internet stranger, but in the end, we do all of it for us, and our fellow humans.
If you feel like all is too much, call a support line. You're not alone.

Looking at the current world events, I randomly think back to a non-fiction book titled "The Tipping Point".

Beautiful linework. My gosh. ❤️

Really hard to pull off the roundness and the light effects! You can sense the guys material qualities. Interesting choices and great blend of familiar and weird. Great job!

I know that anatomy is important to learn and practice as an artist, I think I need to switch focus because just at the thought of more thumbs, fingers and hands I'll go feral.

Looking forward to rib cages actually!

Gorgeous!

I'm not even American and I'm just pumped for NYC! ❤️

すごく可愛いだ！

It is okay to feel that way, and at the same time I wanna acknowledge that I find it beautiful that you express yourself creatively and whole-heartedly. That is humanity. I believe in you and want to thank you for your art. :) Be kind to yourself!

It can be lonely, to stave that feeling off I've connected with other creatives to share, get feedback and support each other's projects!

Community is everything.

There is beauty all around us, if we dare to look.

(I took this picture to create a study off it in the future. I want to become a better artist for my game.)

Very inspiring! Best regards from Frankfurt, Germany!

Instead of going to the gym, I visited the turkish supermarket and brought this 10kg baby home. My arms are pudding, but I have no regrets.

The (financial) politics of writing: why we're told story doesn't matter - until it does - and the discrepancy between creating deep bonds for players with game characters/worlds, and then not earning a fair share in accordance to the work that created the attachment and capitalizes on it.

Love seeing these process vids. Thank you! Very insightful! Gorgeous, too! :D

Milliardärssteuer - Superreichensteuer Die G20 wollen Superreiche stärker besteuern. Greenpeace hat ein Konzept entwickelt, wie die Milliardärssteuer Fahrt aufnehmen könnte und fordert bei den Koalitionsverhandlungen zügige Umsetzung.

"Während die privaten Vermögen der Superreichen stetig wachsen, bleibt ihr Beitrag zum Gemeinwohl gering. Eine zweiprozentige Milliardärssteuer würde diesen Missstand beheben."

Superreiche in Deutschland werden noch superreicher Der Boom an den internationalen Aktienmärkten hat die Vermögen der Reichen und Superreichen im vergangenen Jahr deutlich erhöht. Bei den weniger wohlhabenden Menschen sieht die Lage anders aus.

"Rund 3900 Superreiche in Deutschland besitzen nach Berechnungen der Unternehmensberatung BCG mehr als ein Viertel des gesamten Finanzvermögens im Lande – insgesamt knapp drei Billionen Dollar."

"Our collective stories of trauma an serious mental challenges around the globe are endless, as are the ways that the arts sustain us and help us heal. There is more evidence that the arts enhance brain function by changing brain-wave activity ans accessing the nervous system. The arts offer us a way to slow down, feel our emotional pain, and let it unfold, revealing a changed but full human being. There is beauty and hope in that."

"Your Brain on Art - How the Arts Transforms us" by Susan Magsamen and Ivy Ross.

About the question whether we should make #art in times like these:

Personally, my #gamedev project has helped me tremendously over these past months.

It doesn't make the pain go away, but it makes me feel like I'm witnessing my own emotions, and growth. I am grateful for that.
