I end undergrad talks with the annoying 'comics advice' of: you have to sleep, you have to eat, you have to move your body in whatever way works for you, you have to engage with the world outside of your desk and outside of comics entirely. sleep is the foundation!! you can't compromise on that!!

I don't think companies realize this yet but going "complete AI game development" isn't giving "the future" it's giving "we're broke." Like y'all just don't want to pay wages.

NEW: Epic Games has delayed its upcoming (not yet announced) Star Wars + Marvel shooter as it pivots to complete AI game development. "No more hand-written code," a director told staff. All art "generated with full AI workflows." Full scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Van Gogh used references all the time, he just painted what he saw. Using reference isn’t a limiter.

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.

It's not even the ethics of it. My career, my hobbies, my free time, hell, my whole life took off once I fully left Twitter. It is a place to go if you want to be stuck in a neverending race war feedback loop. Like not using ChatGPT, not using Twitter is a superpower. Remain employable; stay off it.

I am way too online for my own good, and I had an unreasonably large twitter following, and I really *enjoyed* twitter for a lot of years, and yet leaving there and never looking back was maybe the easiest what-felt-like-a-big-ethical decision I've ever made.

The sooner you realise you dont know half the shit you thought you did the sooner you you'll improve. So many artists are making things harder on themselves because they think they cant get things from their head onto the page when in reality the stuff isnt even in your head in the first place

genuinely like, a massive amount of advice people give artists is not actually useful, it just makes things harder out of some weird standard for "pure" art that doesn't actually exist
