Mass Effect was my ultimate white whale, my all-time dream project. For the last couple years I'd been in discussion w/ BioWare & EA to take on the project & as part of that I wrote close to 20 minutes of music to explore where the franchise can go next, may as well share it!

The very last task I had at BioWare before I left to pursue a new opportunity was to paint this pose of Solas embracing the Inquisitor (I didn't paint this entire image, it was just the figures). Even at the time it felt poignant that this would be my last contribution to Dragon Age.

Let's keep the train of art inspired by Bioware games going 💖 DAO was one of the first games I played as an adult and Veilguard lifted me from a creative slump. I'd not be where I am artistically without it. ME and DA got me through so much and I'll forever be thankful to the devs for creating them

Love the idea, let's start a train of art inspired by Bioware games ❤️ These stories mean the world to me, its characters inspired me for years, the artists and writers behind them literally helped shape my artistic journey. I am thankful for everything you've created 🫶

Thank you, behind the name, for this glorious randomized name. Diadoumenos Slugslinger I will find a way to write you into a book. My personal Glupp Shitto.

Literally ALL of the "masters" used reference. They had models sit for them. Painted en plein air (outside) for landscapes. They used mirrors for self portraits. FRUIT BOWLS! Hell- look up the camera Lucida if you want to have the conversation about tracing as a tool too!

Use reference. I’m serious. I get it that somehow you or someone convinced you that using reference is “cheating.” It’s not. You are just hindering yourself.

Decompiling closed source software using Claude into non-functional open source software is not how this shit works but more to the point if I go to a project’s website that purports to be about this shit and see “Pricing” that’s a huge red flag.

Holy shit. Someone has decompiled the Adobe suite, rebuilt it in Rust and released it as open source. Either all software is dead or the US copyright laws are about to receive an update. getartcraft.com/apps

the "adapt or die" people failed to consider the secret third option of forming a neoluddite community where I'm selling my latest video game on usb sticks in a little lemonade stand

This week, it’s happening! I’ve been having so much fun writing long form fic again. It’s a good way to experiment and loosen up the writing muscles. Also LBH I have brain worms and needed to get them out. #hollanov #heatedrivalry

Plus there’s something about being able to make it so interactive that I love. You can’t really do that in traditional fiction. Not this easily, anyway.

Actions have consequences. Such as trying to paint this complicated freakin' outfit AGH Thanks to Deltaroo3d for letting me use their render!

Since there's reasonable buy-in for the term in my circle, here's an OFFICIAL post for it. Traumamuffin: a character that is pleasant, gentle, kind, and/or warm, but has a tremendous amount of suffering, pain, and/or trauma in their background. Who are YOUR traumamuffins? #writingcommunity
