Man, I really thought I was supposed to ship a game first and then get laid off. What a silly world we have to exist in 💀

Nyla (Faltira)@faltira.bsky.social · last wk.

I still can't believe that my entire world flipped on it's head with no warning on a random Thursday at 9am.

Nyla (Faltira)@faltira.bsky.social · last wk.

Hey! Unfortunately, with my first job in the games industry, I have been hit with layoffs at That's No Moon. Hit me up if there's any environment art positions open remotely or in LA! I'm gonna go back to personal projects and playing cyberpunk probably 👍

Nyla (Faltira)@faltira.bsky.social · 2w ago

The rage I feel is unending towards these executives that view layoffs as a way to boost their own income.

#PortfolioDay Im a queer illustrator from the mountains of North Carolina. Ive done work for magic the gathering, boardgames, videogames, beer labels, podcast art & socks, but my favorite work tends to be personal commissions shaferbrown.com shaferbrownillus@gmail.com

2026 limited color pet portrait commission

In a low ceiling cellar shop, a cat sits along the stores counter on a large pillow. Next to him are scales, various alchemical ingredients, bubbling cauldrons, and a discarded pile of fish heads and skeletons in a basket. The proprietors paws are folded, and his expression suggests he thinks himself superior to the viewer.

2026 limited color anniversary portrait commission

On a rooftop, a woman peers over a large telescope she embraces, to look down at the viewer and her frightened cat. Behind her stars swirl and fall. At her feet are horror game/manga figurines, headphones, tankobon, and a piece of music notation. On the same serving cart as the cat, sits a meal of snails and wine.

2026 full color illustration memorial commission

A long haired tortoiseshell in a blue tunic crosses the threshold into a cave teaming with jewels, fossils, and plant life. Behind her is a canyon and village. She slings on a pack and her eyes linger upward, lantern full and bright.

2026 full color fantasy pet portrait

In a ruined tower overcome with plant growth, two cats wrap a rope around the neck of a roc. On the landing of a spiral staircase, one plucks out a song on her harp and sings, while the other works carefully to secure the bird.

A wowan in red dress, in a transparent bubble on the hull of a gigantic spaceship.

A big and a small yellow robots holfing each other's hand in a rusty junkyard.

An astronaut in an heavily armored red spacesuit, in the distance there is a strange gigantic device.

A mech, a tank and a jet plane in the derelicts of a modern city.

Zara Alfonso Illustration @zaraalfonso.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Hi #portfolioday I'm Zara, a Canadian artist working mainly on Magic: The gathering and painting for myself in my free time 🖤

“Stasis” is a portrait painted by the artist Zara Alfonso, and is the first piece in her series about invisible illness. A portrait painting of a girl with skin so pale she’s almost translucent, her lips are tinged blue and she gazes upward through seemingly unseeing eyes. Pale moths and winged insects cover the expanse of her face and body, blending into her skin in places.

“Medusa Portrait” is a portrait painted by the artist Zara Alfonso. A portrait of a young Medusa who looks peacefully towards the viewer, her hair is flowing mass of thick iridescent dark indigo snakes tied up in a head wrap.

"Winternight Stories” is an oil painting by the artist Zara Alfonso, done for the Magic: The Gathering Tarkir: Dragonstorm. An orc stands in the middle of a small crowd, telling a story of the battle against dragons with a swirl of watery blue magic.

Zara Alfonso's oil painting of the official card illustration for “Dualcaster Mage” for Magic: The Gathering Secrets of Strixhaven Special Guests.

I’ve been liking cosmos.so as a somewhat Pinterest alternative. Different, but good visual inspo at least.

Pinterest CEO says in layoff email: "We’re doubling down on an AI-forward approach – prioritizing AI-focused roles, teams, and ways of working" So it's time for me to move to another platform to save images

Linkedin Post from a Pinterest designer reading: "Yesterday I was impacted by the Pinterest layoffs. I was Pinterest's only icon designer and product illustrator.

In his email to the company, the CEO said "we’re doubling down on an AI-forward approach – prioritizing AI-focused roles, teams, and ways of working". I WAS working on AI projects including the Pinterest Assistant that soft-launched in October. If you haven't heard about that feature launch, you can find it on Pinterest's own newsroom or with a Google search.

I was vocal internally about how our users don't want AI slop or features on the platform, how we as employees are feeling uncomfortable and discouraged about AI, and what I wanted from leadership. Last year, I told my manager I was worried about AI-based layoffs. I was told not to worry. At an onsite, we were told that "in the future", we would all be "managers of AIs". That I would be expected to manage some sort of AI employees, rather than craft and design my own work.

Human-made art and design matter. I am never going to stop creating, even if the "home of inspiration" decides that creators are secondary to profits.

If you want to support me, you can follow me on threads or instagram @bonniekatewolf where I post my hand-knit sweaters and oil paintings. If you want to hire a human illustrator, designer, or iconographer, my email and DMs are open for freelance, contract, or FTE roles."

This afternoon, I sat with Palestinian New Yorkers in Astoria and listened to what they and their families have endured as the genocide in Gaza continues, funded by our government. In the face of immeasurable grief, they have showed unbreakable resilience.

Illustration of a WWI French soldier in a field of tall grass. He has a prosthetic arm and mask on, and is ablaze too. The weather is foggy and behind him lies church ruins. The tones are blue and orange

Illustration depicting a terrifyingly skinny woman with long silver hair parted towards the front. The illustration depicts her from behind. She's missing an arm and has a damaged prothestic limb as replacement. She's holding a cutter pointed towards a bright red square in the centre of her spine

Digital illustration of a young woman with long, silver hair and wooden antlers, poking out of her skull and eye sockets. In between her open hands, and all over her face, red rot is crawling reminiscent of guts
He's wearing a thick jumper with "Sarajevo 1984" in reference to the 1984 Sarajevo olympics

Digital illustration of a young woman with long, straight white hair wearing a traditional czech crown. She's standing by a foggy lakeside with a black hole behind her. She's snucking her face into the collar of her pastel wind jacket
