drawing tonight
The image is a line drawing of an elf character lying on their side, propping their head on their arm. The character has pointed ears, large eyes, and a gentle smile. They are wearing a simple top with bands on the sleeves.

"Y'know I like Minecraft but I also wish it wasn't a survival building game and was instead a top-down RTS and the graphics were hyper realistic and not voxel-based. That's why I dedicated 16 years of my life to tearing up the source code to make that happen"
A photo of a group of people at a house party looking at the viewer judgingly like they said something shocking

Ubisoft restructuring sucks ass, and unfortunately the writing has been on the wall for quite some time now. Frankly I'm surprised they hadn't been canning everyone at an even more aggressive rate, given how ineptly their executive level operates.

Like,

My Lead: "Ooh what if you add a moment where a soldier comes in here and drags a person out of their home and beats them up? That could make fun gameplay :]"

Me, having been up all night watching an onslaught of footage of innocent people being dragged from their homes and beaten up by cops:
a sketched drawing of someone's sad face, throw face scribbled out chaotically in dark pencil and their eyes missing. text next to their head says "OK"

More studies that are very old that I like.
a rough painting of a close-up of a woman in a simple, posterized style. she is leaning back wearing revealing clothing and has highly reflective skin. a close-up of a woman with her arms above her head, wearing a tight top and bottom. her tummy is pushed out, and it is painted in a sketchy style. a painting of a close-up of a woman wearing a bikini top with her hand held to her chest, pressing lightly against her bosom. behind her she is framed against a red square and white border. a painting of a landscape of a shrine in a mountain during the winter time. It is midday and the composition features a large calm lake, two mountains and a simple shrine. The tone of the image is a cool blue-grey.

Some studies I share less often but still like for various reasons
an illustration study of a woman standing on stairs looking over her shoulder and bending down at the camera. she is smiling, and the architecture around her is reflective and abstract, framed against a bright blue sky. a study of someone with red skin wearing shorts and a top riding up to reveal a bandaid on their breast. they are lying on a pink couch with a foot up in the air behind them. a wide shot of a woman wearing nothing except a bikini bottom with a frowning face on it. She is looking down brooding at the ground, and behind her is a green room with a massive yellow window on the wall. a black and white sketch of a woman staring at the camera with a neutral expression. a cloth is draped around her, revealing her shoulders. it is painted with a tonemapped style.

Close-up studies and style tests are my favourite, I tend to get so lost in these
a close up illustration of someone's tummy. they are wearing an orange top and bottom and are lit from the side. a close up of someone's rear wearing a purple latext dress. they are tugging at the fabric and a reflection can be seen in the light cast on them. in the background is a cracked wall. a stylized close up drawing of someone with a baggy shirt and sweatpants with the word "CHLL" written on it. there is a halftone effect behind it and it has a sketchy, comic style. a close up illustration of someone's backside wearing a tight yellow and pink one piece swimsuit. water is trickling down their body.

For privacy the partner and I been wanting to move away from Discord for our personal convos, so we've started using BeeBeep!

It was dirt simple to set up locally, has most of the simple features we need from a messenger AND has a fun customizable interface :]

www.beebeep.net
a screenshot of BeeBeep messenger which looks similar to an old-school looking messenger application like AOL or MSN. In the text box is the text as follows: (5:30:56 pm) Devon: I was gunna make that fettucini at some point (5:31:01 pm) still have mushrooms (5:31:04 pm) Eleanor: oh yeah (5:31:30 pm) Devon: sound good?> (5:31:38 pm) Eleanor: yee

The image shows a 3D model rendered in a gray scale palette against a dark brown background. The ribcage comprises various pieces that resemble bones, assembled together with some gaps visible. Above this 3D model are two lines of text: "Bony Ribcage" in white font on a black banner for identification purposes; below it is another line stating the material composition as "Material: Stone". The image is a two-panel comic featuring a simple stick figure character with a large round head. The upper panel shows the character with an open mouth and wide eyes, raising its index finger as if making a point. The background is a gradient of light blue. In the lower panel, the same character appears with a frowning expression and narrowed eyes, holding up the same hand with a slightly curled finger, suggesting a change in emotion or realization. The background here is a gradient of light purple. Both panels are drawn in a minimalist style, with black outlines on a white background.

I think if I had to create imaginary UX personas for an unrealized and prone-to-failure non-deterministic product that we're trying to pretend can do basically every any task on planet earth I would lose my mind

Recently been thinking about Ubi's employee stock purchasing program they encouraged us to get in on when joining the company back in 2018.
A screenshot of a market ticker showing Ubisoft's all time stock market performance. It's low, peaks between 2018 and 2022, before once again falling to be incredibly low

Accomplished developers looking at other accomplished developers who leave the positions that made them well-known to start their own indie studios
The image is a three-panel scene from Arrested Development featuring two characters, Lindsay (a woman with long blonde hair) and Tobias (a man with a bald head and glasses). The text for each panel is as follows: Panel one: "Well, did it work for those people?" Panel two: "No, it never does. I mean, these people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might, but...." Panel three: "but it might work for us."

I love how tall the NPCs stack fish in this game
an NPC in a cartoony stylized game. they are standing on a floating series of wood planks on an ocean next to a boat. on the platform they are cooking fish on is a stack of seven fish stacked horizontally on to0p of each other.

ok yeah this game has its hooks in me so hard I've been loving seeing my little raft grow. It's like a chill Rimworld with a killer art style and very relaxing vibes. 100% recommend!!
The image displays a scene from a video game set on a vibrant, sprawling floating settlement in a vast blue ocean. The settlement comprises interconnected wooden platforms supporting a variety of colorful, makeshift structures. These include buildings with multi-colored roofs, a large yellow and white tower-like structure in the center, and various industrial-looking installations with pipes and containers. The settlement is densely packed, featuring elements like solar panels, barrels, and plants, reflecting an eclectic blend of utility and habitation in a post-apocalyptic or water-centric setting. The ocean surrounding the settlement is a clear, deep blue with subtle wave patterns. The user interface overlays at the top show multiple icons and statistics related to resources or objectives, and a quest prompt titled "On Air and Water" on the left side. The bottom interface displays a day counter and various control icons.

All-timer town name generation right here
a screenshot of a game UI with a cartoony man and a seagull on it displays text that reads "What shall we call our new town?". In the dialog box the name "Trashton on Sea" is displayed. a screenshot of a game UI with a cartoony man and a seagull on it displays text that reads "What shall we call our new town?".

I just really struggle to understand the thinking behind taking one of the most beautiful art directions I've seen in a game only to add a Day/Night cycle with little-to-no mechanical function that makes it washed out and really hard to look at 50% of the time.

Like I really REALLY don't get it??
A screenshot from Sable. The image depicts a stylized desert landscape with sandstone formations and a clear blue sky. In the foreground, a person with short hair, wearing a red cloak and green pants, stands on a stone pathway. Flanking the pathway are four intricately carved stone pillars with geometric patterns. In the midground, layered red and brown rock formations rise from the sandy terrain, leading to a tall, spiral structure with a domed top from which black smoke billows into the sky. In the background, large, rounded sandstone cliffs frame the scene, some with arch-like openings. The landscape is largely barren, with sparse vegetation. A screenshot from the game Sable. The image depicts a stylized, architectural setting with a person standing on a tiled floor. The scene features a series of geometric structures, including tall, rectangular pillars and a variety of block-like constructions that create a sense of depth. The floor is covered with square tiles, each with visible texture and detailing. The background features a patterned wall with parallel lines and dotted textures. To the right, there is a partially visible circular area and additional architectural elements. The setting is shaded in muted tones of gray and pink, giving it an illustrative and surreal appearance. The person is wearing a headscarf and sunglasses, standing towards the front right of the scene. It's very grey.
