Watching that Triple I Initiative thing made me realize that the only games I’m losing sleep over are indie
Holy shit Hyper Light Breaker looks incredible
Slay the freaking Spire 2
My favorite game ever (Risk of Rain 2) finally doing colabs
I played Wizard of Legend when it came out and I loved it and the sequel looks incredible
Apologies for being less coherent than usual but with Elden Ring DLC plus all these coming out and Hades II this year I can confidently say that this is the most excited I’ve been in a very long time for gaming
Warning: Serious non-joke based post talking about serious non-joke based issues
You have been warned
I’ve come to the conclusion that self doubt is in fact a pain in the ass
I’ve entirely avoided doing things that I consider life goals because I don’t ever want to be bad at them despite how much I tell myself that I need to be bad before I can be good
I can’t just accept praise or share stuff I made without multiple layers of “Well” and “Yeah but” laced over because I have unrealistic goals set
Content Creation and entertainment as a whole (YouTube/Music/Art) has always been something I am very passionate about and as of right now I’d like it to be what I am known for but outside of the occasional doodle I’ve never even attempted to pick up a pen and write a script or try out playing the piano despite literally having a music teacher as a mother all because I’m too afraid to fail
As a note of advice that I will share for y’all and completely disregard for myself
Experience is the best way to learn how to do something and if you never try you won’t even have learned anything from said experience
In order to be corrected you must first be incorrect
yknow, every time i see people talking about how ai should be just another tool in an artist's toolbox i just know what theyre talking about.
im not even gonna talk about how its immorally trained, that topic has already been covered to hell and back. what i mean is like, the people who sing praises about ai or try and discuss in favor of it are all like.. either really novice artists (no hate towards them, theyre figuring stuff out), people who don't know anything about art (or flatout dislike art in general) or just scammers.
like really, as an artist, i can't see a place for ai thats not covered by other better things. like, lets go over it.. anatomy studying? ai isn't gonna help there, too innacurate and doesnt help with showing how muscles and stuff like that actually work. posing? you'll have mor control with mmd, blender, or litterally any game that let's you pose your character. learning colorwork? lighting? shading? inconsistent.
honestly, its just a tool made by scammers for other scammers. you won't learn anything from ai. ai isnt going to help with your workflow or anything of the sort. hell, its also basically useless to anyone who wants to establish themselves in any way as an artist.
Back from traveling, and super happy to read the comments onSketchbook Journey. II! Even though I have uni during April, I noticed that I will be traveling out every weekend because of my research. Gonna be a bit difficult to draw – but good thing "difficult" does not mean impossible :D
(Your in company not only good, but numerous with linking back to the jam for which something was created, so I'd be surprised if this were construed as 'uncool')
[Also, thx for the reminder, one of the many projects I keep not getting around to actually doing 😊]

Created this comfortable style character with a palette from a jam I'm hosting. :)
