If you're looking for a tech artist, you should definitely hire Andrea, she's awesome!
andrea.dahnberg.se Andrea Dahnberg @andrea.dahnberg.se · 7d
Last week was my last week at Iron Gate - After three years working on Valheim, it's time to start looking for new adventures elsewhere.

If you know someone looking for a kickass Tech Artist/Programmer, hit me up. Happy to work either remote, or on-site in Stockholm.

Every time you like an artist’s artwork, an angel grows their wings.

Every time you repost an artist’s post, an angel grows artillery and heat-seaking missiles to fight the forces of evil.

stealing paintings from museums will soon be considered just another tool in the artist's toolbelt

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

I'm concerned that one thing game companies will use genAI for is populating background details like fake magazines, store shelf products, and book covers. This is what they're trying to take from us. This is what's at stake. (Vampire Masquerade Bloodlines, Dead Rising, and Plastic Battlegrounds VR)
fake magazines mayday with plane, dead bird with bird photo, doggies with growling dog, greed with money in hand, slums downtown living, pain and suffering, chin, women whaler, eorm, energy, super punks. fake cereals boo boo, blue honey, count ohoculo, meaties, storrios, fruit butte, mmmmy mmmy, by fake bags of chips. books say all hail Caesar, first mayor of williomette, machines of destruction, they killed him, amazing Roosevelt. side of large food box says below nutrition facts there is still a lot of space down here roo for a lot of text that I can't really think of writing just to make the box look full from a distance and busy and realistic. I just have to type a lot of things on the side of the box. don't believe nutrition facts here. they are just the same as the rest of them really they are and they are not accurate at all.

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war
