The artwork of #Aliens by Denis Beauvais used for advertising the arcade game by #Konami in Japan. It was used before for the cover of issue 1 published by Dark Horse Comics. Usual upscale/clean/retouch process applied.
Aliens clean artwork by Denis Beauvais used for advertising the arcade game by Konami in Japan. It was used before for the cover of issue 1 published by Dark Horse Comics. Image depicts a xenomorph standing in a maintenance tunnel where several tubes can be seen all around, a blue warning light on the top right, and a broken pipe letting off some steam on the bottom left. An explosion can be seen further in the background.

I know I'm small potatoes, so I didn't expect a big response. But nothing?? Maybe people don't want to admit they now support plagiarism?

AI coding enthusiasts, how do you feel about plagiarism, as a general concept? If you're against it, how do you reconcile that with your use of generative AI?

Genuine question; I'm not trying to start a debate. But I can't disconnect the two.

assembling FINAL FANTASY VII walkmeshes to see how they fit together (thanks @onetrickwolf.bsky.social for JSON dumps of the geometry). probably should've tried this before i drew the big Midgar map but still cool. maybe could use these as a basis for area detail maps. some comments in alt text
opening reactor bombing mission. teal is game start, elevator down into reactor, then escape into sector 8 on upper left (jump onto train) sector 7, tifa's bar area on the left, pillar up top obvs, train station on right, bottom is the little park and the collapsed highway with the metal wreckage maze train tunnel to sector 4 underneath via vents on left, then climbing to sector 5 reactor (upper right). the 6 screens of tunnel apparently comprise half the entire circle around the city! yeah, this one confused people...

It's been over a year... I'm finally writing a new Siren devlog. It's so hard to focus on it, though, when I could just be working on the project instead. Expect it sometime before the end of the month. ☕🦀

Honestly I can’t wait for all gamers to join us artists in fighting the GenAI bullshit ngl

It’s still kinda messy…. They’re like mixed, some hate artists and love GenAI while others despise GenAI and support artists

I’m so tired of GenAI, not only is it affecting artists but also gamers and computer users ughhh

This will obviously fail. They have to know that, right?! Is this just more AI-hype, and they assume we'll forget about this by 2030?

An operating system needs to do two things:
- Run my programs
- Help me find my files

Everything else is just noise.
