If your brain thinks in a techy way, and you like micromanaging details via technical nodes, and you like experimenting with how leaps in computer tech effect art, and you have a drive to make something, don’t listen to the AI tech bros.

There is a medium for you.

Learn blender. It’s free.

It is my unironic belief that people who are into AI image generation in a big way…should try 3D art instead.

I’m serious. There was this guy talking about all these nodes he uses in different programs, yadda yadda and I really had the thought…

This guy could make better in blender.

You’ll do great out there! 🫂🫂🫂 and I’m for sure rooting for you. Leaving your first job is hard, but you’ll come through alright

No, I totally understand what you mean. I’ve dealt with similar. Not in regards to boss changes specifically. But one aspect of the job making something that was set up very well turn into something that’s near undoable do to elements you can’t control.

It’s a bad feeling. Take care of yourself

Yeah! I was thinking a lot of my recent paintings have been portraits from a very straightforward perspective, so I wanted to shake it up and be brave

Even among the other Acolyte's of Garreg Mach, there are whispers about Sister Byleth.

She is beautiful, studious, charitable to the residents of the monastery, no doubt.

But at night there are whispers of strange voices, and ancient rites long thought lost.

Yes! Your words remind me of walks in the forest and mountains when I was a kid.

I totally agree. The littlest creatures tell you a lot.

Anam @mana4anam.bsky.social · 20d

Yeah! This one was the first time I did most of my painting with various rake brushes, and I’ve used and abused them to build texture into the base of my paintings ever since haha.

Anam @mana4anam.bsky.social · 20d

Thank you!! It’s definitely got something special

Called Fire Emblem Shadows.

The game released today with minimal fanfare and a launch trailer with the comments turned off in the Nintendo Mobile YouTube channel.

But…

Um…

Hmm

Thank you so much!! I really focused on likeness so it’s good to hear

The likeness actually became much easier when I realized a lot of the negative space in his design, right down to his nose too, is about crescent moon patterns

It makes me happy
