Hi, I came back only to say fuck Tumblr for selling out to scraping algorythms. Go to your Blog, Blog Settings, and scroll down to the bottom.

Fuck ai. Fuck governments for not regulating it. Cheers.

(also, Wordpress as well, if you have a website on it.)

I made this account on Twitter if you would like to know what art team is working on every day and feel comfort in seeing us working “in the office” on the games. We might post occasional WIPs if it’s not a spoiler. This is the last update on this Tumblr blog.

Wanted to practice fur, so I drew Dogblud(#24586)'s lead, Thelma

My friend Valravn(3366) recently had her lead die, I thought it would be a nice send off to draw a little 1-page-comic for her :)

Thank you for extra patience, I took a very serious break/ time off and focused on pursuing happiness, friends and my hobbies and I feel lighter by 500kg of stress poofing away almost entirely in 1 specific day, and I enjoyed that feeling for one more week than planned. I know I neglected a few things, so I will try to catch up! It made me reach an inner peace, I no longer cry when I think of my dad, and it’s easier to work <3 cheers everyone, thank you for your support and warm words in DMs and comments.

Speedpaint of my new WD stud ~ Btw, I have lowered the price on him, so if you want some Chromium T3 pups from my G2 boy — now is the time >:) Wish I could spend a bit more time on this but upcoming school deadlines said no lmao On the other hand, I'd like to get used to a more painterly look again and keep brushstrokes more visible, I don't like how a lot of my pieces are overly smooth lately.

Wow.

This is really amazing and I am very very touched. Thank you so much for your thoughts, kindness and time put into this - and most of all your talent. My father admired creativity and young people’s imagination and sensitivity to art a whole lot. I know he’d take off his glasses to look better at he’d say “holy shit” and tbh it’s what I said in my head as well. This is incredible, the collaboration and this massive project. The fur clumps and shading, the colours - the glow and dynamic effect of the embers, the blue shading. The anatomy. The patterns. Everything is amazing. The sky has such a perfect tone - he loved Paris Blue and darker tones of it, such dark night was present in most of his paintings. And the stars remind me of his art. <3 You have no idea how perfect this choice was.

I love how the mosaic effect of the fur or some parts make the tiger look more real, there’s so much variety in animal’s hair physics after all. It’s insane to me how well blended the colours are in the mosaic. I really had to look long and close to notice it was done by more than one person. It looks so wholesome. And in such a short time, by 6 people. It blows my mind. I haven’t even slept much since I got the news so it still seems like it’s been same day and in my hazed mind it appears like this was drawn in two hours.

I never thought I’d ever be inspiration to anyone so this is incredible to read right now. You have no idea how much this means to me. One of my brothers is very close to me and sees and reads everything I do at work and he appreciates every comment and warm words as well. I would never expect this to happen. I have never recived a gift like this in my life and I never thought there even is a possibility strangers who never met me in real life can be so kind and warm and amazing. Thank you so, so much.

I wish I could show him that. Thank you

This is a tribute to Xylax, painted by 6 artists working in collaboration. Each of us have taken a separate piece of the artwork and have rendered it in our own style, like a mosaic. Xylax, you are a huge inspiration to both Wolvden and Lioden communities. Through these hard times, we still stand with you. Please, do not feel pressured to work through this difficult period, we'll wait patiently until you are ready. Best wishes to you, your team, and your family.

If it’s not prying too much what made you go from working in the gaming industry to wanting to go into anatomy/dissection/vulture culture (I hope I’m using the right terms if not please forgive me!)

1. Have long held childhood interest in animals. Use drawing as coping mechanism for problems at home.  2. Work in the game industry, specialize in creature design. 

3. Start wanting to learn more about animal anatomy so you can design better creatures. 

4. Draw live animals.

4. Draw dead animals so you can examine them more. 

5. Start dissecting dead animals to better understand them

get evicted for dissecting animals at home

6. Seeing the bones will allow me to better understand where muscles attach.  Get good at cleaning bones. 

7. Use dissected animals for reference while designing creatures.  They smell bad. Get good at preserving them.

8. Develop specimen hoarding problem. Start selling boxes of random specimens found around apartment. 

9. Realize that the injuries and marks on the bodies of the animals mean something.

10. Recognize the resilience, courage of the experiences that marked their bodies.

and identify with never having had a voice to speak of what they endured

11. “Someone should know what happened to you.... even if it’s too late, even if it changes nothing, what happened was to you was real.”

12. No one is interested in their stories because the photos are too graphic. Get good at photoshop.

13. Discover that presentation really matters. People are more interested in these stories if they are presented better. Applies this idea to specimens. 

14. Not that interested in creature design for games anymore. Wanders off because other work feels more  meaningful.
