As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back
You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative

Some of the last models I think I’ll paint for the year. I found an extra sprue of MK.6 Tacticals in my storage containers, and I also needed five more bodies to make an even 30 Berzerkers, so everything worked out in the end with this kitbash.

Devastated. Outside of consistently hearing him be very pro-player and anti-shitty corporate practices I can’t speak to Vince professionally, but personally he was such a down to earth, funny, warm person. The industry already feels far less bright without him.

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.
Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

My second Deathwatch Fellblade is complete. I enjoyed the streamlined build and painting process compared to the previous resin model. I hope to get a third super-heavy in the far future to complete the squadron.

A reminder from Isabelle
I was really happy to paint these new Leagues of Votann models. Using some inspiration from deno_miniatures on Instagram, I wanted to bulk up the appearance of the Steeljacks, to make them a bit more rugged. I used a plethora of bits to achieve these silhouettes.

So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig

I finished the entire BLOPS 7 campaign, asked for a refund and Valve granted it to me.

Shocked they did TBH

Glad to see Polygon cover the resistance of game developers to generative AI--and to be able to speak briefly to one of the greatest dangers of this entire thing.
Gen AI doubles down on making MORE SPACE for production issues that *already make games worse.*

How do Eldars dress out of battle???
Warhammer has no images for eldar civilian fashion, so I just let loose with ever I thought would be appropriate. The goal was to design garments that we wouldn’t have names for.
