Anirevo done and dusted! It was nice to meet Caitvi fans, visitors from last year, a couple folks who knew me here, and just genuinely curious people who like animation. Was surprised I sold some of the physical copies of the Art of Dear Friend Arcane storyboard books! 🙏🙏🙏

Randomly recalling a critique I heard where a vendor's character model was referred to as "bobo" and I had to reword it for them in a way that made constructive sense and wouldn't cost us a business relationship. It took listening to a Doechii song years later to know what the fuck "bobo" meant.

Micro graphics have been doing me a lot of favours at work today, there is a shocking amount of stuff that needed tiny designed details. Making endless random patterns in Substance Designer is also speeding things up some. Can't wait to see the end of my to do list!

I have been on my fashion learning journey for some time and I'm still learning about how people express themselves what rules people break because fuck rules. This shit does my head in because sometimes having good taste requires not giving a shit which is antithetical for being a clothes nerd.

I was today years old when an orchestra playing the Metaphor Rephantasio score featured a buddhist monk chanting his heart out on the battle themes - which explains so much of what I was hearing in game. What a fascinating cultural mix that still sounded theatrical!

me at my ig feed showing me japanese jazz fusion, world travel, dj sets and people actually enjoying life: i wonder if we can nostalgia utopia our way into manifesting this shit irl the way we dystopian cyberpunked this bs into our current present :p

The workers at ZA/UM didn't deserve to be treated as expendable just because they didn't put out something that was financially successful enough for their bosses. No one deserves this. Anyone who cheers whenever gamedevs get laid off on the other hand can go to hell.

For those of us artists who are lucky to have an AD's permission to put stuff in a private portfolio - Do not give out your portfolio password to a third party recruiter. Save the reveal for the interview with the hiring manager - usually an art director.

How do you describe work experience on a resume for a game that got cancelled but is still under NDA? (Spoiler: You focus on what you did and you remove all specifics) askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/8223118...
