Hej #portfolioday!👋
I'm a freelancing artist with a biology degree working in games.
I do #paleoart, #gameart, #conceptart, and I specialize in creature design.

Saying again
If LLM data centres that serve generative AI platforms were erased from the Earth…

…we’d be fine.

They prop up nothing of essential value we can’t do ourselves.

If we let them proliferate for a generation, we may lose institutional expertise.

Pretty illustrations from Zniw Adventure (they are among my favourites)! It was a nice change of pace to do them🙂

Sharing my wing tutorial for bluesky people!
It's light and focuses on propatagium, something that I often found missing when working on client designs.

Lastly, check the Alt. text for some commentary. Hope it's helpful!

My lil secret thing is that I enjoy making jumping animations. idk what it is about them but it feels nice to make things jump and bounce (animating anything else is usually pain and suffering lmao)

When I see you “playing around with” ChatGPT “for fun” this is what I see you contributing to btw. It’s not cute, it’s not fun, it’s damaging. Just because you don’t personally see it doesn’t mean there’s no cost.
I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there.

I need you to listen to these people.
STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

Hey, guys, money is going to be tight, and the sun is gaining strength in the Northern Hemisphere - those two are related because I have sun catchers for sale on Etsy, including these custom do-ers with dinosaur toppers!

Our budgie has picked up quite a lot of words and phrases! What did I teach him recently?

The Starly's cry! Or rather, what I hear in my head when this pokemon calls:

”Brygida ukradła mi dżem!!”

It's pefect 👌

One of the things I don't understand in the corpo settings is why everyone is on hurry. Yeah, I get deadline exists, other contractors also await, the money is pouring but...

We are making entertainment. It's not like we are performing a life-saving surgery or disabling a bomb, ya know?

Thanks so much! Appreciated!
I paint *on* them 😅 Eg. the Styracosaurus was painted on a Switch. While these artworks below were painted on a 3DS (the 3D effect looks dope on the system).

I'm active on Colors Gallery www.colorslive.com/artist/Twarda so feel free to take a look.

It's lovely to live in one of the most air-polluted regions in Europe.

Breathing is hazardous and the gov advices to not going out.

I'm sure nothing will go wrong.

Show off your art style

Saturday morning cartoons mixed with European/Polish comic books, and of course lots of stylised (but as accurate as possible) dinosaurs 🦕

I talked about this on Tumblr already but I wanted to spread this a little further, unfortunately Twitter and Bluesky are not ideal for this type of content so I will work with screenshots.

cancel all your streaming services and tell them why.

buy one independently produced album, book, comic book, piece of art, ticket to a local play every month.

support your local library.

I'm deadly serious. This is becoming a moral imperative.

I'm doing a totally lame job at marketing our next game.

So here's a promo poster with all QR links you need to know (whooping two of them!)

Hopefully these dinosaurs will sparkle joy and reach the people who would love to play it😊
