Its strange how comparatively cartoony the materials are on King Dodongo vs the rest of the art direction. Look at the neck, thats very Skyward Sword in approach. Maybe he is like an amphibian covered in rocks instead of having scales? Would fit the lifecycle better maybe?

This is the full artwork my Link is a snippet of. You may understand that I am also very interested to see how all the items were redesigned too.

drawing of link showing all the shit he collects like an adult with a room full of funko pops(though probably more useful than those)

While I dont hate the new Link design I do think something was lost in the translation of his facial features especially. and just for fun its its interesting to compare design decisions I made for a more realistic materials Link to the official one

my drawing of link on the left with the official render of Link from the Ocarina remake on the right. I wonder if Link's hair just parts naturally like that or does navi comb it for him every morning

⚔️🔥CAPTURE QUEST: CHARIZARD🔥⚔️ I have wanted to paint this for over a decade and spent the last year of my life fighting to bring it to the finish line. Please take a look, there is a lot to see

Gargantuan illustration of a charizard redesigned in the style of a monster hunter elder dragon. There are 4 hunters attacking him and their pikapalico is readying a voltorb bomb to throw. There is so much stuff in there, I spent a damn year on this. I'm exhausted.

thinking about the popularity of so many "redraw trends" and plagiarism of compositions by all sorts of artists (it comes up often for gposing but 2D artists do it too). i have to sum up my discomfort with it as follows: it's artists treating other artists the same way A/I treats art as data

Cleaning up and organizing some work files.... don't think I ever shared these test renders of the Kryptis Skyscale from GW2 Secrets of the Obscure. Bits and pieces of him ended up getting reused throughout that expansion like demon lego bricks. He kinda makes me think of raw chicken. #art #gw2

The Sega Saturn video is finally finished! Still waiting on some stuff before I can upload it to YouTube, but if you watch on Nebula, you'll get to see a bonus segment on adult games that I unfortunately had to cut from the YouTube version. nebula.tv/videos/liamt...

Liam Triforce — Sega Saturn Retrospective (Bigger, Longer, and Uncut)

In exploring the Saturn's library, I unearthed a lost civlization that aimed to speak through their art, and these fantastic games are in danger of being lost to time. Good thing a YouTuber is here to...

lol twitter continues to steal ideas from bluesky, you can now add different feeds to your timeline. As with most features they steal, its worse than here as you cannot have custom feeds. It is nice to be able to just see art without bullshit though to keep up with artists that dont post elsewhere.

screenshot of my twitter timeline with the feeds options opened. I have pinned both art and digital art feeds and can actually see art without having to trudge through ragebait

Not to get all reddit atheist but its a concerning parallel to religion the way people get funneled into adhering to nebulous dogma via social media. Its been said before but people like zuck get to effectively be mortal gods reshaping the world in their image. We need a social media iconoclasm.

I always think it's funny how instagram makes people into village soothsayers coming up with and passing around folk wisdom because the platform runs on like a million obscured algorithms and no one knows how it works. Advice feels very 'A rooster crowing at night is a sign of rain coming.'

Tired as hell, anxiety through the roof, need to get this illustration I've been working on for 10 months done by the end of the weekend. Time to lock in!!! Wish me luck fellas!!! 🤠
