Melo @letitmelo.bsky.social · Jan 13
It's #portfolioday and this year I want more publishing and game work!

My name is Greg Melo, and I do illustration and design for books, editorials, podcasts, comics, social media and more!

Portfolio: gregmelo.com

Art blog: pixelpulp.tumblr.com

Illustration of a mindflayer turning the corner in a dungeon hallway. On the other side of the corner is a human paladin, an elf thief, a gnome alchemist, a human ranger, and a wolf, preparing to get the jump on the mindflayer. The ranger and wolf are running from a mysterious tentacle coming out of a doorway. Illustration for an episode of Retronauts featuring the Nintendo DS game "The World Ends With You". The game's protagonists and monsters are in an abstract visual landscape of graffiti, DS screen/style windows, and audio visualizer shaped like a Tokyo cityscape. Ramza and Delita strategize on a chessboard with figures of Final Fantasy characters (including a chocobo) Promotional image for the second volume of Rey Estaban’s NES Endings book. The cover features various illustrations by me, including: -Trevor Belmont, Sypha Belnades, Grant Denasty, and Alucard watching Castlevania crumble in sunset. -Bowser buttslamming Mario -Ryu Hyabusa and Irene watching a temple crumble over an ocean scene -Mike from Startropics with bananas in his ears -Mega Man looking up at a projection of Proto Man’s face in the countryside as wilt’s UFO flies away

Today’s Monsters & Mysteries update: No, you can’t use Charisma on a Strength check.

Chapter start:

A paladin and a rogue are pulling a large, glowing spear from some rubble. “‘‘Tis no use. The will of the gods was not meant for man” says the paladin. “Can’t you command it? I thought that’s what paladins do.” replies the rogue. The paladin responds “an oath is not a lever.” In the next panel, the rogue bemoans all the work it took to get there, when the paladin puts his finger to her mouth, cutting her off. “Do you hear that?” He asks. A pregnant pause fills the darkness. “I don’t hear any-“ she responds, before being cut off again. “Exactly.”

The bad news about the computer part shortages as it affects you, The Main Character of the universe, is that you won't be able to upgrade or buy new electronics for awhile.

The good news is that maybe this will break the cycle of having to constantly Keep Up with tech.

If you’re just gonna log every byte of data you have on me with dubious consent the least you could do is actually Remember This Device when I tell you to.

Here's the thing I need every RPG designer to understand:

There are only five hit points. 6 if you're pedantic.

Full hit points
Three quarters hit points
Half hit points
Quarter hit points
One hit point
No hit points

735/1000 HP? That's three quarters hit points. 5HP? That's one hit point.

This is happening because OpenAI - a company that does not have anything even approaching a viable business model and is setting money on fire - used borrowed money to advance buy all of the raw materials for RAM production so competitors couldn’t get it

this RAM crisis feels like it’s going to ruin consumer electronics over the next decade. Bloomberg reports that Sony is considering pushing the PS6 release to 2028 or even 2029 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

It's legit crazy this was less than a year after Adventure 2 came out. That would be like Microsoft porting all their games to

ah, right.

Not related to fixed camera I just mourn the loss of this sick elevator. The cramped cutaway and the sliding frame just gave the intimate lighting a claustrophobic vibe.

"artistic vision is that he loves to have meetings" christ almighty. dead to rights
mikexnichols.bsky.social Mike X. Nichols @mikexnichols.bsky.social · 3d
i often think about this review
Letterboxd screenshot Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) Watched by Branson Reese 28 Apr 2022 Abrams isn't a man so much as he's an avatar of cultural entropy. If you make something popular enough eventually you will die or sell it off and and a person in thick rimmed glasses whose main artistic vision is that he loves to have meetings will take it and sandblast it until it's nothing. I hate to see this happen here but maybe it's good that this happened. Maybe every franchise should collapse into a version of itself that makes shareholders nod and shake each others' hands. We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend.
