I tell artists as often as I can: you know how to draw, you just don't know how to be happy about what you make.

"What is the bravest thing you've ever said?," asked the boy.
"Help," said the horse.
"Asking for help isn't giving up," said the horse. "It's refusing to give up."

don't draw it the way you think it looks best. draw it the way you have the most fun doing it

Natural talent is nothing compared to the ability to keep making shit long after everyone else has given up

Hello #PortfolioDay !
My name is Laís and I'm a 2D illustrator who works mostly for tCG and mobile. Although I draw anything for work, I'm happiest when I'm drawing pretty girls and boys, preferably accompanied by pretty flowers and magical colors 💅

From the great Ryoko Kui

Treat environment art, vfx, props the way you would treat a character. Always ask questions what purpose they serve in the moment and think about how they all fit together.

i think what gets overlooked is that part of the humor and charm of edits like these is that you're perfectly aware that someone sat down and spent their own time making it. they chose to do something cool or silly or stupid or genius, regardless of the results

that human element elevates the work

Just gonna say this again for games sphere cus we get the same question:

Networking doesn't mean schmoozing up to famous people, it means making friends with your peers. Then in 10 years, 20, one of you might be famous? And sure you're still helping each other cus well yeah friends.

Make. Friends.

Having a cat is so cool. There is a little creature in my bed who loves me and vibrates like a tiny motorcycle and is so fuzzy and wants to snuggle. How could I want anything else

Quantic Foundry does legit trustworthy analysis of gamer behaviour, and these survey results are shockingly negative toward genAI, to the point where I’m more hopeful that data driven mobile and AAA backpedals on their uses.

quadro um: pessoa andando de bicicleta com um bastão, escrito "fazendo ilustração" quadro dois: pessoa coloca o bastão entre os aros da roda da bicicleta, escrito "pula o processo" quadro três: pessoa caida no chão e escrito "pq eu sou um artista ruim". É uma pergunta apesar da falta de interrogação.

A post by c.a.t.y.a.y that reads, "I wonder what my art could've been if I didn't quit". Iggy responds, "I wonder what it will be if you start again"

Going into 2026, a reminder for everyone who's fallen off the creative wagon, game dev, writing, art, music, whatever, no matter how long:

friendly reminder that you didn't waste your year. any moments of happiness or comfort. any small accomplishments, they all matter. this has been a really hard year, and simply surviving is something to be proud of.

I also wrote something for Mr. Porter, which touches on the same topic. The general gist: choosing a gift is not about imposing your (I'm sure superior) taste on others, but rather showing someone you value them and recognize their inner world.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

[observing someone’s obsessive passion project] wow i really like whatever’s wrong with that guy

Is this in CMYK?

“Don’t trust the voices after 9pm” is prob one of the better bits of advice I’ve heard

The Hades franchise has been everything I could’ve wished for since 2020.

I always wanted to thank Supergiant Games with a fanart, but I was always short on… time?

Maybe now, time won’t be such a troublesome thing for me anymore.

Death to Chronos!

screenshot from Everything Everywhere All At Once - he is saying "When I choose to see the good side of things, I'm not being naive. It is strategic and necessary. It's how I've learned to survive through everything."

your daily reminder that hope is a floatation device- grab it with both hands 🖤

Painting is this weird emotional yo-yo for me between proud and pleased, and extreme displeasure and dissatisfaction. Somehow these opposite emotions often exist simultaneously.
