Hello! It's been a year and some change since I was laid-off from my previous job, and I'd love a new one.
My name is Steve and I have 7 years of experience in the animation industry as a background artist and illustrator. I've worked on shows like Castlevania, and card games like MtG!

If your game has voice acting, then working with the voice actors is half of your writing process. It's not complete until you've heard it interpreted and reimagined by a voice actor. And they always reimagine it in ways that elevate the writing, in ways you never would have imagined yourself.

The worst part of being a former guidebook author is that I have BOXES of old books I worked on, along with friend’s books AND Japanese book references. I can’t bring myself to just get rid of them…it’s the worst when moving. 😭

We’re moving to a new place, which means several boxes of Castlevania merch and games are going into storage. Goodnight, my loves. See you soon.

This is how authoritarianism cements itself in power and crushes opposition, all while the eggheads debate if it's fascism or something else.

I did this the other day. There were two people sitting outside of a place for some sort of survey or donations and one of them commented on my CV shirt. They then started telling their coworker/friend about how much they liked the show, and I just smiled and slinked away like a weirdo. 😬😂
@samueldeats.bsky.social is weird about telling people he worked on Castlevania so when the hotel employee commented on his CV shirt and started talking about the final battle in S4 Sam was like haha yeah that one was difficult and the guy was like haha yeah?

These are right-wing terror events I covered just from 2017 to 2023. It's not even close to comprehensive. The government's trying to erase this history.

Hrm, the plot thickens — it appears several book listings on LibGen have incorrect crediting, which means the list of books Anthropic mined may be WAY bigger than authors know. I found several of my old Brady Games books on there, incorrectly credited.
Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.
OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

This cut was a REAL challenge!
For Nocturne Episode 3, we wanted Edouard to have a brilliant felt coat with a pattern, but drawing that would be very complex. In his big turnaround shot, I put in a lot of care to make the pattern have shape and dimension. Lotsa steps went into that. Take a look!

This is why we need regulation like California’s Ai Copyright Transparency Act #AB-412 !

8 years ago I didn't have a single clue of what I was getting myself into. 8 years later and Castlevania—the games, the shows, and everything in between—is one of my most favorite things in the world.

I can’t believe I slept on Run with the Wind. It’s shaping up to be my favorite sports anime, I think? It’s at least up there with Haikyuu season 2…

Update: The bill passed the Senate and is headed back to congress!
Unsure if this amendment passed or no, but start calling your house representatives to say NO to the ban of statewide regulations for AI! States should be able to regulate GenAi tech!
Better scripts will soon emerge so stay tuned!
