I'm very rusty with it now, but it got a lot of super useful tools specific for a pixel art workflow. I know a bunch of pixel artists use it as well

not only that, but I find it hard to motivate myself to try hard anymore. It's a stuggle to be a professional with 14 years in the industry and be almost 5 months without a job, and see AI poop everywhere

Oh look, another sick, old, rich man taking advantage of vulnerable people around them. It's disgusting!

I knew this piece about Neil Gaiman was in the works, and still, I felt sick reading it.

TW: rape, abuse, coercion, and child sex abuse.

There Is No Safe Word

How the best-selling fantasy author Neil Gaiman hid the darkest parts of himself for decades.

How do you deal with the snow while biking? And what type of clothing do you recommend? I live in Quebec and want to get back into biking but I'm still a latina learning how to deal with winter XD

Quick warm up thinking about perspective today. Nothing gives me more this sense of depth then adding some people and also a bit of assymetry to things

Gabriela Birchal @gabirchal.bsky.social · Dec 5

I'm not gonna lie, job hunting as a freelance artist in the current industry environment has been brutal. I have to remind myself everyday that I don't suck, that it's a global thing going on, but it's hard... I hope all my artist friends are doing alright <3

Yup that affects me so much, once I stopped browsing art daily it got me into a better place :)

Gabriela Birchal @gabirchal.bsky.social · Nov 22

I do the exact same thing. I'm not here for the numbers game, I'm here to connect with peers and make new friends, so eventually I'll get to people XD

Gabriela Birchal @gabirchal.bsky.social · Nov 21

It's 2024 and I still get asked to do art tests to then get ghosted, it's ridiculous!
Anyways, here's an art test I made for a mobile game app
All the years working in animation taught me a lot about simplifying shapes and textures

Gabriela Birchal @gabirchal.bsky.social · Nov 19

Thank you! :D

Gabriela Birchal @gabirchal.bsky.social · Nov 19

Hi Randy, I greatly admire your work!

I got back into doing more personal projects these last few months and here's Bread, the Mapach time mage I did for my partner.

Captain Genya Astari is the leader of the Velociraptor, the fastest vessel in our system. Her and the velociraptor crew are among the best mercenaries around, although Genya's gambling addiction might them in more trouble than not.

Yeah, I've been doing the first one too mainly. But the password protected section might be a good option in a pinch. Thanks!
