I read the full article, and unless I’m misunderstanding something it seems to completely beat around the bush that many gamers do not like current prices 😬. Also “how can smaller studios expect to survive” idk man $20 Silksong did really well iirc

Maybe if the price of new games were lowered, more people would actually buy them.

I reopened commissions! Simple sketches are open, while the sketchpages are waitlisted :3
I'll probably close them soon-ish if I receive too many requests since I want to deliver them before I have to travel!

It's my birthday! As a gift, can I ask you to share my art?🙏

I love drawing vibrant fantasy illustrations, especially in the field of TTRPGs. And speaking of TTRPGs, check out the post below for more fantasy goodness ⬇️✨

Illustration of Mollymauk Tealeaf from Critical Role's the Mighty Nein. Molly is sitting and smiling at some shiny moths that are playfully surrounding him. Around him there is an art nouveau inspired arched frame.

Illustration of Caduceus Clasy from Critical Role's the Mighty Nein.
Caduceus is sitting with a serene expression, playing with some golden butterflies surrounding him. Around him there is an art nouveau inspired arched frame.

Illustration of a blue-skinned character with asymmetrical horns, reminiscent of a half moon. The character is casting a pearlescent, bright spell. They're in a room at night, standing on a decorated pedestal on the floor, in front of shelves full of books.

Illustration of a knight and a pegasus, behind them a blue sky with golden sunset clouds.
The knight is wearing shining, ceremonial armour in silver, blue and gold. In one hand he holds his helmet, the other hand is stroking the nose of the pegasus. The knight’s head rests delicately on the horse’s, in a gesture of delicate friendship. The pegasus is raising one of his wings to hug the knight in return of the gesture.

Art class tonight! New techniques tonight, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!

I want to work a bit more on softer blending. Admittedly, I was hoping to go more like the example piece they showed, but I just gotta work on my technique

#Art #TraditionalArt #Acrylic #Painting #Sunburst #Sunset

Painting, acrylic on canvas.

Landscape piece featuring a sunburst behind a cloud, in a gradient sky going from black to blue, yellow, red, and darker red as it goes down to black hills, mountains, and cliffs in on the distant horizon. The scene is reflected in the water, with a reflected yellow streak of sunlight running all the way to the bottom of the canvas below where the sun is. Marious reds, blues, and yellows are reflected in ripples.

Me, holding the painting described in the previous image.

"Whew! They're clapping—they liked it!"

I think I should start drawing the Animal Crossing Pocket Camp "memories". This one is from the memory "The Adventurous Princess."

#msantosart #art #ArtistsOnBluesky #animalcrossing #animalcrossingpocketcamp #digitalart

Three anthropomorphic animals wearing play costumes on a stage. A small mouse with a massive pink bow on her head is dressed like a princess. She is in the spotlight, and clasping her hands she looks amazed as confetti falls down. On her right and on her left are a fox and a cat, bowing and waving to the audience, which is unseen in this perspective.
