I review tech for creative professionals over on the Youtubes https://www.youtube.com/thebradcolbow
I used to just ignore emails from companies promoting AI this or AI that. But their are so many these days that I started copy/pasting this in reply. I don't think people living in their tech bubbles realize how big the AI backlash is getting.

If you love something that much why not reach out to the artists and give them an opportunity to work on it. In the context of a project this size the cost is practically nothing.

The coolest part of Marathon was the art direction. They lifted some graphics wholesale from this artist but the game's art direction is basically HER style.
I know, I know... If you're a multi-billion dollar company it's not illegal to steal an art style.... but it still makes you an asshole.

It was 10 years ago today that I bought @procreate.com on what was then called the iTunes store.
The best $6 I ever spent.

Playing with the idea of adding lip syncing to videos. What do you think? look OK? needs more work? Worth pursuing this style over the choppy mouth-less Brad?

3 weeks into this hand drawing exercise and two things have become clear.
First, I am really getting better at this. Second, I’m so sick of drawing hands. 😂

11 years ago I thought it was to late to start a YouTube channel. Glad I didn't listen.

I’m declaring February Hand drawing month… for me anyway. I’m terrible at drawing hands. So I’m going to practice every day and hopefully get a video at the end of all of this.
Day one I started by learning from one of the greats Andrew Loomis.

Two video coming out soon. The first is an animated short I started over a year ago as part of my Procreate Dreams review. I decided to finish it and get it out there. The second video is a breakdown of how I made that video. The software I used, the steps I took and what I learned along the way.

Fiddling in Adobe Animate again. I like this little puppet guy but I think I'm going to try a version with outlines and my normal coloring.

So pumped to see Metaphor getting a nomination. I assumed it was to niche but glad to see it getting some love. It's so good!

This was meant to be part of a series but I never got around to do any other game consoles or handhelds. Might have to dust off the idea some time.
