the beautiful thing about being an artist is you can use your weekend to pencil five pages of comics detailing the misogyny inherent to monarchical structures of power and you don’t even have to show them to anyone

Sadly, my contract with Blizzard ended in September. That means I'm looking for fulltime or contract work as a senior writer or narrative designer. If you need someone who can write sharp characters, poetic prose, and emotional stories, I'm available! www.hazelmonforton.com

It's #portfolioday! I'm presently a senior narrative designer at Blizzard, but before that I was at Bungie and Arkane. I wrote for the Writer's Guild award-nominated Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, and a bunch of critically acclaimed seasons and expansions in Destiny 2.

i don’t fault mr pope though i don’t imagine the empire silhouette is an easy thing to model a lot of dynamic poses around

Punished “Venom” Asphodel @asphodelles.bsky.social · 2d

the tragic part about this game is that while the ensembles of the rest of the male crew was mostly period accurate to 1805 the women’s clothing was at least a century ahead and they probably would have actually been wearing an empire silhouette

actually nevermind the only way you're ever going to get me to post all pages of the second one is at gunpoint

how much more genuinely painful cringe can a washed concept artist draw before they become completely unhireable

God I love how being a fascist in Disco Elysium literally breaks your mind and slowly kills you. That game loudly says "Being a fascist means being miserable all the time as you try to suppress your own humanity" and it rips

if i have to read one more text where the only protagonist-aligned brown characters are super nice and concerningly compliant to the status quo promoted by said text i'm going to explode
