I love this, because I was recently hit with the realization that it really *is* important for us as artists to be just as good at assessing our strengths as our weaknesses.

I think mine lie in character design, and evoking mood through light and colour.

Artists, I think we're all too comfortable sharing our imposter syndrome.

I would love to see you step out of your comfort zone and confidently state what you think you're actually really good at.

No self deprecation, just what you think you're the strongest at

Is anyone brave eniough? 👀

A circular shape frames their face from behind, and multiple sparkly shapes decorate the portrait. A decorative and detailed black and white portrait of a long-haired character with pointy ears.

A black and white illustration of a basilisk, holding a human skull and wearing a regal mantle, with a black evil crown floating over its head. It's sitting on a throne made of stone with vines and plants creeping over it and a petrified human head at the top. The basilisk's eyes glow orange and its gaze is malicious An illustration of mother Goethel, the witch from Rapunzel. She stands in the center, surrounded by thorny bushes and between two crooked trees, holding a baby wrapped in luminous white cloth and her eyes glowing a malicious golden color. In the foreground we see rampions growing from golden vines which intertwine like braids; in the background, in the distance and in the middle of a forest, we see a lone tower a mock cover of the Prophet's Paradise, a collection of poems by Robert W. Chambers using the illustration Sleeper.

She stands in darkness, a faint golden halo around her head and torso toe-thrasher, a rat lord wearing a royal mantle made of white fur, thrashing in the middle of a swamp in its hind legs and holding a black flail. in the swamp, there are numerous yellow eyes

a lone knight swathed in green armour stands in the dark, knee deep in water, holding an axe. from where she holds it, the metal of her weapon is slowly transforming into sprouting leaves and vines. behind her are several weapons that have long since turned into twisting branches that blend in with the surrounding flora. roots that resemble clawed hands cling to the handles of these weapons. a gothic horror au interpretation of jayce and viktor from arcane. a dishevelled jayce stands, holding a bloodstained silver hammer, looking up with watery eyes. there's blood staining his face and splattered on his clothes and armour, with scratches marring his leather coat. his left hand is balled into a fist, rot and blood coating his skin. in the background is a semi-eroded, semi-hollowed out, golden statue of a younger him, illuminated from behind by golden fire. golden claws reach out to this statue. framing this, is a structure made up of pale brick and rotting arches. within the arches flanking jayce on either side, are broken stained glass images of him as piltover's man of progress. for viktor's illustration: viktor stands, looming, holding a staff which carries an eerie, pale flame in its clawed crown. his mask is partially broken, exposing only his human right eye. he holds a clawed hand up to his chest, where red flesh in the vague shape of a heart is exposed, with five puncture marks in it. behind him is a broken, stone statue of his younger self– his face has sliced off the statue and is slipping down. framing him is a stone structure comprised of three main archways, with vein-like ornamentation and clawed hands reaching out to viktor in reverance. within the thicker pillars of this structure, are small arched frames, depicting viktor's transformation through magic. Marcille is sewing a large patchwork quilt of Falin, with her thread being depicted as a long, thin, bloody sinew. Varying shades of red are used in the quilt, with some patches portrayed as parts of the Red Dragon. Falin's skeleton is used as the main component of the quilt's pattern work; her face split into two patchwork pieces at either side of her skull as Marcille slowly sews it back together. Beneath her ribs, is a large centre piece depicting a heart, with a silhouette of Falin lying on top of it. Tiny figures of Laois and Falin as a child stand on the quilt, looking at each other.

The illustration of the woman with blind eyes that is surrounded by light. She has peony flower in her hands and many, many eyes in her body that are visible from the cuts. The illustration of the woman, siting in the dark with coral and tentacles emerging from her back. The illustration of the mermaid lounging under lily pads in dusk light. The illustration of the knight standing in the garden and surrounded by roses. There is a cut on knights head so we can see that her brain is infected by the plant with berries as eyes that grows inside.

"Publicly, elven leadership has waved off concerns about the impact of Source corruption on elvenkind. They claim elves are no more susceptible to corruption than other species despite their strong innate connection to the Source."
A digital painting of an elf. Their back is slightly turned to the viewer while they look over their shoulder. They have slightly transparent pink horns, long pointed ears, and their eyes are a solid pink with no distinct iris or pupil. They are lit with dramatic pink and blue lighting. Bones can be seen through their skin, in an x-ray-like effect. Behind them are many eyes looking upon them, nestled among wavy tendrils.

First flower of her house.
An illustration of Harrowhark Nonagesimus and Gideon Nav from The Locked Tomb series. Harrow is holding her veil over Gideon’s head, obscuring both of their faces slightly. They are about to kiss, while surrounded by bones, under the direct light of Dominicus.

Keep thinking about this term "pre-digested" that Kojima used to describe art that's instantly gratifying. And how it's better when people grow to love something instead.

I've gravitated, as player and designer, toward the latter, but that term "pre-digested" is new and feels very strong.
And he said, "If everyone likes it, it means it's mainstream. It means it's conventional. It means it's already pre-digested for people to like it. And I don't want that. I want people to end up liking things they didn't like when they first encountered it, because that's where you really end up loving something."

Hate to break it to everyone but a big chunk of the games industry has been experimenting with gen AI basically since it started gaining traction.

If you want to avoid games using AI in their pipelines, your best bet is indies who are transparent about their processes/ outspoken against AI.
