Hej #portfolioday!👋 I'm a freelancing artist with a biology degree working in games. I do #paleoart, #gameart, #conceptart, and I specialize in creature design. My stylized illustration is shown below while you can contact me & see more of my work here: twarda-arts.carrd.co Thanks for looking!

W pewnym momencie niektóre rzeczy stają się tak rutynowe, że dopiero po chwili orientujesz się jak dziwnie brzmi "uważaj: papuga na podłodze!"

Dinoposting will resume shortly, mainly due to pain (wisdom tooth removed yesterday) and even more pain (my phone died today)

ngl, this art slaps. I forgot if I posted it already. If I did you are blessed twice! #ZidJourney

1/2. My current odd take is that, many unwritten rules we follow in our modern world were made by neurotypicals, to which atypicals are forced to adjust. Even the ADHD tests are made with their idea of what is "normal", "good" or "bad". Typicals live in their comfort zone while the rest must adapt.

Truth👇

✨️Reference vs Art✨️ While we've used a lot of references to keep our dinosaurs as cartoony-realistic as possible, two mostly stick out: @twarda.bsky.social making clay models of Popoeilo the Azhdarchid and intro Lambeosaurus for the more tricky shots of the animated cutscenes in Zniw Adventure!

TIL Margit Sandemo did not write *just* the 82 books about Ice People. She wrote WAY MORE. She did not begin writing until she was 40yo and by the time of her death (94yo) she wrote freaking 185 novels. 185 NOVELS by ONE person!! Oh, to have a fraction of this power! An absolute legendary woman.

some ways to make logos. you can make a logo. anyone with paint can make a logo. stop using the earth-boiling plagiarism machine to make logos.

Hey everyone! So, I've had my commissions closed for a long time, and life has been bumpy, but I think I may have some time to open 1-2 cover slots, depending on volume and deadline, starting soon. Wouldn't mind some fantasy/ttrpg work. Some samples:

I've been doing that since I started my art journey. I may have gotten less strict about it, when pretty much the whole internet was stealing creatives' work - kinda discouraged. Forgetful even. But now? The slop companies are constantly taking your work to profit on it. I do it out of spite!

One of the paintings that was stolen was this one, framed. It’s big - like 15x20”. I’ve been tasked with putting together an inventory, which is an awful thing to do. I’m grateful that I have five paintings in my apartment on my walls, but for some reason I stored this one.

When we released Zniw Adventure back in 2020, some folks saw 'cartoon dinosaurs' and 'educational aspects' in the description, mistaking it as an activity clicker for toddlers It was out intention all along to deliver you a dinosaur adventure with some cool facts to learn along the way...!

It seriously made me question whether we should continue with the encyclopedia or drop it. But I decided to stay with it, for better or worse. There is still hope in me that at least few people will enjoy how it mixes our game's story & lore with coo paleo facts, and even -maybe- learn from it.

#WishlistWednesday? Yeah indeed, don't you wish you had more dinosaurs on your list this fine Wednesday? 🦕

As Znivember is just around the corner, the amount of soft marketable content with our lovable dinosaur duo will surely increase.. 🦕 Sadly no anime adaptation, comic books or bootleg VHS copies just yet, BUT you can enjoy affordable, hand-drawn & animated dinosaur point and click adventures today!

I like putting them in dynamic angles and pretending I'm filming a doc or that I am a motion capture camera. Or just being silly with it.

I realized that I haven't taken any photos of my puppies playing outside recently... Maybe I should change that?

👇genAI is a rubberband thar mass-produces lower-graded work: work that'd be otherwise be made by many ppl, thus supporting the economy. If the costs are saved on the expertise - where is the money now? Where is the extra leisure time? Why do we keep pumping out more and MORE for less and less?

When you encounter these dinosaurs, there's a high chance of adventures and journeys happening nearby... 🎨 by @racecarart.bsky.social ! 💛

Wow. LOISH got accused of using Ai to make her art. I started following her on early deviantart. I remember first seeing her paintings in college. This is ridiculous, no one is safe. Artists Ive followed for actual decades are getting harassed because their work has been stolen and regurgitated.

Sharing my wing tutorial for bluesky people! It's light and focuses on propatagium, something that I often found missing when working on client designs. Lastly, check the Alt. text for some commentary. Hope it's helpful! #artsky #tutorial #art #wings #sciart

Literally me creating masterpieces but only when I'm totally cornered by either a deadline or self-imposed criticism

Wait what? One of my fav games just got a treatment by an anti-AI team in those times? Am I dreaming or what?

I made 2,5 illustration masterpieces but I can't show them yet...
