Man, that looks like the OG Metal Gear too!

Right??!?! 😃

These two, because I think more people need to recognize that the one is clearly a prequel of the other 😅

It's a podcast featuring authors and industry professionals talking about the realities, good and not so good, about the traditional publishing process, agents, contracts, rights, etc. Either way, I just wanted to remind him of it! Hope you find it helpful!

@writersandartists.bsky.social at the conference I was telling James about the @publishingrodeo.bsky.social podcast, and that I thought it might be a massively helpful resource to the greater Writers and Artists community.

I am indeed happy to learn this! Can't wait! ♥️

@dofresh.bsky.social I think it's time for a DoFresh artbook mate. Looks like @ianmcque.bsky.social 's Kickstarter was a massive success, and I can't think of too many things that would be better to keep it cozy on my bookshelf than a book full of your fantastic art right next to it. 🤘😃🤘

Ahhh! That's great! Beware of Earworms!! We've got one we still can't shake from this show!! 😂

Chris DeVere @dercribben.bsky.social · 2d

I definitely watched and loved it 🤘😅

Brilliant, weird, hilarious, and touching (in a brilliant, weird, and hilarious way). It makes me happy that Vlad von Sparkles in the Trees found his range instead of disappearing in obscurity. I’ve really enjoyed a number of his films at this point 😃

This is a priceless, brilliant opportunity to get one on one mentorship with one of the best concept artists out there these days. 🤘🤩🤘

Jan Urschel @janurschel.bsky.social · 3d

I'm finally ready to launch a one-on-one mentorship. This is a very limited opportunity for people who prefer a customised experience. The whole class will be specially tailored to your needs, your current level and what you are trying to achieve.

This looks like a fantastic opportunity Jan! It’s probably going to be a bit before I’m ready for something like this, but I’m definitely pencilling it in for after I get my bearings in Blender again and am ready to make the most of a priceless one on one mentorship like this.

That get you discounts and credits for official critiques, but you can absolutely go through the entire course for free and even get unofficial critiques from other students and DrawABox community members on their freely accessible discord server and their Subreddit.

Was just telling my friend @emmakpark.bsky.social about this amazing free online drawing course called DrawABox. The lessons are all free, and very comprehensive, and there’s this massive community that comes with it. drawabox.com There are support avenues like a Patreon and affiliate links -

I also totally understand if you’re not up for it spoonswise or because internet randos these days 😅

We’re going to walk around Bristol today and maybe hit up that immersive art installation. I want to go do Aerospace Bristol Tuesday and take a zillion reference pics. We leave Wednesday -

Alright, sent! My wife and I are in Bristol for an author’s publishing conference (yesterday) and I was reaching out to see if you wanted to meet up for coffee or something (not that I can drink coffee on elvanse 😅). It’s totally short notice so I understand if you’re booked solid.

Chris DeVere @dercribben.bsky.social · 6d

Ahh ok! I’ll do that on Discord!

Chris DeVere @dercribben.bsky.social · 7d

Honestly I’ve enjoyed both myself, but I definitely get to enjoy the art more of dubs since I’m not focused on reading the subtitles.

Chris DeVere @dercribben.bsky.social · 7d

Fun fact, I was born in Omaha and I’ve got family in Lincoln, Fremont, and Columbus. I’ll definitely be running this by my sister, she’s an admin in the student housing in Lincoln.

Go big red!

Not our Roci, but still a very sexy design!

I knew there had to be something in that surprisingly progressive sounding policy that was too good to be true. 😒

We can’t wait to see everything you’ve got planned for the day! 🤩

Four more shots of the Value Collars, some concept art I did for @teijadevere.bsky.social Taya DeVere's Machina Deus series Serf Girl, Fama Girl, and Slum Girl. These were locked monitoring collars worn by the "Serfs" in the series. High level Deus servant serf and worker serf collar concepts shown.

An angled shot of concept art showing the left side collar filigree, three status lights, the locking mechanism, and release button of the value collars worn by high level serfs in Taya DeVere's Machina Deus series, Serf Girl, Fama Girl, and Slum Girl.
