Yearly BoFIV art appreciation post - Still the greatest to ever do it, all modern "HD2D" games pale in comparison. Great art direction will always beat adding lights, fog and bloom.

Andrey Surnov's concept work for Jusant in my brain again this morning. Can't think of a game set among ruins that made me more desperate to see more of its world. So few games manage such an original and rich aesthetic, so sad the team never got to make more.

Woven Constellations

The new oldcityblues.com homepage is finally live! All issues, from 2010 to 2024, are available to read here in a centralized hub.

On Project Dragon/Everhaven I had the privilege of working alongside that kind of team- one example being Michael 'Orb' Vicente, who helped set a tone of caring deeply for the smallest details of the work he made: *sculpting rocks*. To this day, they are the loveliest game rocks I've ever seen.

Have you seen some of the art for @gardens.dev's upcoming game? Yeah, it's that beautiful! 💚🌳 More info: gardens.dev/press

controversial statement; this has far less to do with engine tech and for more to do with what skills are more easily trainable in a broad population. Technical parameterized realism is one of the easiest things to systematize so the labor market for realism is much deeper with lots of documentation

Sorry no spacesuits or robots or post apocalyptic warriors, but here's a sketch of a handsome onion. Hun-nion I guess. Alfresco lunchtime coloured pencil sketch.

Nightshade always puts these glitches in but that's okay. 💧Renosance Chamber💧 Vibrations from water droplets sound the 🔔. [I have more info, but I don't want to share it yet] Other bells floating around are called Ghost Bells.

It's my birthdayyy today so I'm going to ask for a cheeky lil artshare if you like my work since I'm still pretty new to the bluesky art community c: Hii I'm Marby, I'm from the UK and living in the US. I like world building and fantasy art, I'm also working on a personal game project for fun 🖤

Art for our upcoming game @gardens.dev 🌳

A new painting (by me) I can share for the game we are working on here at Gardens. I still can't say much, but things are moving along smoothly and I'm excited for you all to see it when it's ready. I really appreciate all the enthusiasm everyone has shared with me about the art we've shown so far.

New Website! Some new art from the team and myself here at Gardens in the presskit, and a silly picture of me sneaking around a forest.

one of my favorite activities: sitting less than two feet away from a cintiq and "just fixing one quick thing" with a mouse for about two and a half hours

Deer are so beautiful, aren't they? painting medium: Nicker poster colour on Arches watercolour paper

Switching to traditional media is the best decision I'v made in a long time. It feels so much nicerto paint on real paper. With brushes for scale, you can also see how tiny my work is in person.

a bit further back, one from 2018 #reruns

I got the fantastic Jusant art book recently, and as well as enjoying all the amazing art, I found this little treat inside! This genuinely made my year. I struggle with finding purpose in my personal art, so even though its small this really means a lot to me. Thank you @edouardcaplain.bsky.social.

Art directing anecdote: years ago an AD asked me to make a bunch of mood/refboards as the initial part of exploring a new area. It felt trivially easy to the point that I had impostor syndrome about whether I understood why I was spending time just collecting good examples of a visual theme

the dragon/eel, resting his wings

Full DEADSUN strip. A little experiment. I know it's not what you want to see from me but it can't always be robots :/

been working on a personal world building project for fun 💗🕊️

I loooove @cavesofqud.com and I wanted to try a little something about the Stilt !

Zelda Williams (the daughter of the great Robin Williams) sure had a lot to say about the “Studio Ghibli style” AI images that have been trending recently. I think those people should read these posts and really think about what they’re doing.
