Lil intro post! Hi, my name is Kat and I'm a 3D artist working in video games, and in my spare time I like to experiment with traditional media and draw ttrpg-inspired stuff

Digital painting of a mage in a blue robe. Her hair and clothing seems to be falling upwards, and beneath her, birds seem to be flying upside down. She is painted as a reversed tarot card, truly.

A muted oil painting of a reclining person.

A gouache painting of a cluster of tree trunks and bushes.

A photo of a work in progress of an oil painting of a clown. An oil palette is held in front of it.

I've seen an uptick in art and design tests essentially expecting an all-knowing all-skilled developer to land in their laps, resulting in people with incredible skills getting rejected because they just needed a little support in a single area.

We are EATING OURSELVES if we hire like this.

I don't get how people don't realize that a technology that replaces junior and entry level positions in a field destroys that field.

There's no skipping steps. You have to be a junior before you can be a senior, and if you don't have senior people, you don't have a field.

Remember, kids: A real big goal of "AI" is to entirely sever capital from labor, and no, there will be no universal basic income, you can all just starve and die, thanks

I've been slowly re-emerging from my Do Not Perceive Me I Am Hibernating time, and have been having a tonne of fun with Art Fight!

Here's one I did for @kataasgaard.bsky.social #artfight #artfight2025

A painting of a person floating in water, with a jellyfish in the background. Their eyes are closed and their nose is bleeding

Here are some paintings i've been doin' for Parasensor, i really love the game and the team and I'm so excited to eventually share more about it :3 @ghoulish.com.au

A room full of monitors and devices above an L shaped desk, its dark except for light emitted by a wall of monitors to the right.

An art deco inspired hotel lobby with a staircase that leads up out of frame, past a green door.

A phone booth next to a curved road with an inner city background.

A wire fence in the foreground in front of an ominous windowless brutalist building. In the background is an abstracted city skyline blending into the clouds in the sky.

Did some inventory item paintings in gouache and stuck them on top of a rough digital sketch of their owner, looks kinda fun.

gouache paintings of various scoundrel-y items, including a pocket blowtorch, a dagger, a pair of goggles. These are cut out and layered on top of a digital backdrop with a jumping character.
