For people that feel helpless, this period is so tough but there's ways to help for anyone. Go out there support Venezuelan ppl and artists living in it as they prepare for unpredictable times
Here is a starter pack of artists with commissions or donations open as well:

“Are you ready, kid?”
I’ve always loved how Christmas and New Year feel like one continuous season, so I drew this piece to celebrate that.
Wishing everyone a Happy New Year! 🐴

My brain still gets hooked on individual pieces of concept art from #DragonAge or #MassEffect, because they weren't just a Cool Image for the sake of cool imagery: they were an additional window into the world of the game, created by someone who understood how that world could grow.
The fact that the games industry is so dead-set on disregarding Concept Art as being part of the game it helps make is eternally frustrating to me.
If the slop machine extrudes a design for you that you then force an artist to make "real", that still means there's AI generated content in the game.

It’s weird how there’s always moves to make fiction more “interactive” with different endings etc. It’s like these people have never seen the same film twice a few years apart and had a completely different reaction. All fiction is interactive. That there’s an audience is the interactive part.

I created this sad bird character, Tristopiccio, and my partner suggested silly reasons that could have made him sad.
Like, his shoelaces are loose but it has no hands to tie them nicely.
He failed bird math.
He has to go to bird job.
His treat is ruined.
He lost his feet (they‘re underwater).
