Coral Island is kind of a cross between Stardew and Animal Crossing with some new elements thrown in, if you want something else within that genre!

This looks like an amazing habitat for her! Love seeing small animals get a lot of space to live in

People *can* discuss controversial topics but it feels way less like this platform is trying to force controversy. It's so refreshing

Part of that feeling is the way Bluesky is set up without the sidebar of news; it keeps you more to what you follow and doesn't try to artificially introduce Topics into your activity here. It feels more organic, like a lot of people just hanging out and saying stuff. I missed that on social media
November 19, 2023 at 7:08 PM
yeahhhh I would never tell you that
November 19, 2023 at 4:19 AM
Gosh, yeah. What a time to be an artist
November 19, 2023 at 2:50 AM
Yeah, totally. I feel grateful I was able to get a more stable job in a game studio, but deeply sad for this creative industry that was thriving just a few years ago. AI is badly disrupting the publishing industry from all sides. Have you been seeing similar things in your work?

But of course, why not just do that! It'll be easy and fun! Haha

As a freelance book cover designer/illustrator clients now bring you their AI generated vision for what the cover should look like. That takes away the creative portion of your job and leaves only the layout design portion. Naturally, the client then only wants to pay 1/3 of the fee for the job.

Anecdotally, this is why I'm no longer a full time freelancer. In the winter and spring this year I was seeing that starting to happen in my own job; clients wanted to pay less and less because their expectations were changing due to AI. The trend and reasons behind it were very transparent.
November 18, 2023 at 7:26 PM
Yeah, totally. There's also the aspect of folks having no idea how much time or research it takes to make an illustration. Any dollar amount sounds like a lot when you have no idea how much work it was, haha

This is the brutal part! 9 or 10 bucks an hour is less than minimum wage in the US state I live in, it's just not sustainable.
November 18, 2023 at 2:06 AM
Heck yeah, thanks for the heads up! I was so sad I missed this before haha, got one now!
November 17, 2023 at 11:32 PM
Same lol, I feel this way about my art 100% of the time

Maybe if it's good olive oil? I hope you got your juice in the end! I got 4 hours of sleep so it's just a matter of time til I have a similar mishap tbh

I really prefer the color, but I love color in general!
September 6, 2023 at 6:59 AM
Definitely HBO out of these choices

Lovely work Joel! I really like the colors in this one
September 4, 2023 at 4:25 PM
That's adorable!
