Time for another reference dump!

This zip file contains 2,566 photos (6.58 GB) from the Metropolitan Museum of Art arms and armor collection. I tried to focus on the types of details you don't see in most available reference, like hinges and fasteners.

Enjoy!

Here are 543 images (1.5GB) of items at the Philadelphia Museum of Art arms and armor exhibit

You're free to use them for anything, even commercially. I tried to focus on details not usually represented in available reference material

Here's a small sampling:

Portfolio update : The Mirror of Pride
"She's been following me for several days; I only see her at dusk. She always stays about ten paces away. When I confront her, she claims to be my shadow. I then asked her if I was her light. She replied that I was confusing my pride with her patience."

Finally, new animation!
I started this almost 4(!!) years ago to practice animating on 2s & get more comfortable animating hands. This piece has taken so long that I don't know if I've leveled up, but finishing it matters more than perfection.

Disney legend Andreas Deja, behind all-time great villains including Scar (‘The Lion King’) and Jafar (‘Aladdin’), has provided a major update on his Milt Kahl book:
“I got Disney's verbal approval, and I am determined to make this one of the best books on Disney Animation ever.”

More early development boards from INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY. A little reference to the early draft of Raiders with the samurai sword.

I remember when I posted about how a game full of AI-generated conversations didn't seem particularly appealing to me, my replies were full of "but the IMMERSION!"

Which, fine... I get that the IDEA of it seems cool. You can speak to anyone! But... why? What is your life that this seems like fun?
There hasn't been a single game in my life where I've thought, "Man I wish could ask this NPC absolutely anything I want and they'd respond."

Even if I had, it'd be novel for about 2 minutes.

I'll take 50 handcrafted lines from an actual writer than 1 million from a glorified chat bot any day.

If you’ve not seen Tekkonkinkreet then best get on that. And then grab a copy of this

In Japan we call this kind of mock-up of a finished frame an “image board” and this was our very first for #Tekkonkinkreet

Exciting news! We’re thrilled to announce that tapir Yuna gave birth to a rare and endangered Malayan tapir calf Sunday night. The newborn, covered in distinctive white spots and stripes resembling a fuzzy walking watermelon, is only the second tapir born in our 120-year history.

This is just CEO speak for "we biffed it" — it's way too vague to draw the conclusion that he thought Veilguard should have been live service, and the takeaway here is definitely not that the next Mass Effect will be live service

EA CEO Andrew Wilson's recent comments about Dragon Age: The Veilguard have spawned countless headlines and angry posts about how he thought it should have been a live-service game, but when you actually look at the transcript, it's really just corporate word soup. It's not saying anything imo
