Catching up on Demon Slayer. It’s a beautiful show, but my god, why did they write Tanjiro like this. He’s a walking recap episode, explaining every little moment or thought happening like we can’t get the hint. If they wrote this story to be 80% dialogueless, it’d be so much more digestible. 🫠

Since losing my teaching job, I’m gonna try to make ends meet again solely on art, at least until I can find another reliable side gig (tho we know the job market is 👎🏻).

So, now is a GREAT time to support my work if you believe in meeee:

I didn’t know Nakamura had a hand this! Crazy how a British indie studio roped in so much overseas talent ✨

This is exactly the kind of energy educators need going forward. Plagiarism has always been very dimly viewed in academic and educational circles; why are we suddenly accommodating the plagiarism machine?*

AI policy I'm putting in my Fall syllabi. Feel free to adopt & adapt it.

AI Policy 🤖

Generative AI is any artificial intelligence software, such as ChatGPT, that is used to generate ideas and content that are not one’s own. Beyond alarming environmental impacts, these programs operate by stealing the art and writing of others, and are on that basis unethical. Such programs prevent, and discourage, the development of human beings both into free and critical thinkers and into proficient and creative writers and communicators.

Therefore, the use of these programs to assist in any way with any assignments in this course constitutes a violation of academic integrity and is therefore strictly forbidden.

First offense = zero for the assignment
Second offense = failure for the course

If you are ever tempted to use AI because you ran out of time and energy to finish an
assignment on time, just email me for an extension!

So, all this to say:
I'm back on the market for game dev work, feeling a bit more creatively recharged as a result of taking a break, and looking forward to having time and energy to work on my portfolio again.
It's rly rough in the job market + economy rn but at least I can still make cool art ✨🎨

Rough around the edges but I've slapped some rocks into my scene! I really want them to resemble the concept more so I'll need to spend some time cleaning them up. Always a pain that my substance and unreal always look a bit different. #art #unreal #rocks #zbrush #wip #ue5 #substancepainter
