hi #PortfolioDay im mint!! i love working with fantasy and gothic horror themes

🌿 mintaii.carrd.co

a lone knight swathed in green armour stands in the dark, knee deep in water, holding an axe. from where she holds it, the metal of her weapon is slowly transforming into sprouting leaves and vines. behind her are several weapons that have long since turned into twisting branches that blend in with the surrounding flora. roots that resemble clawed hands cling to the handles of these weapons.

a gothic horror au interpretation of jayce and viktor from arcane. a dishevelled jayce stands, holding a bloodstained silver hammer, looking up with watery eyes. there's blood staining his face and splattered on his clothes and armour, with scratches marring his leather coat. his left hand is balled into a fist, rot and blood coating his skin. in the background is a semi-eroded, semi-hollowed out, golden statue of a younger him, illuminated from behind by golden fire. golden claws reach out to this statue. framing this, is a structure made up of pale brick and rotting arches. within the arches flanking jayce on either side, are broken stained glass images of him as piltover's man of progress.

for viktor's illustration: viktor stands, looming, holding a staff which carries an eerie, pale flame in its clawed crown. his mask is partially broken, exposing only his human right eye. he holds a clawed hand up to his chest, where red flesh in the vague shape of a heart is exposed, with five puncture marks in it. behind him is a broken, stone statue of his younger self– his face has sliced off the statue and is slipping down. framing him is a stone structure comprised of three main archways, with vein-like ornamentation and clawed hands reaching out to viktor in reverance. within the thicker pillars of this structure, are small arched frames, depicting viktor's transformation through magic.

Marcille is sewing a large patchwork quilt of Falin, with her thread being depicted as a long, thin, bloody sinew. Varying shades of red are used in the quilt, with some patches portrayed as parts of the Red Dragon. Falin's skeleton is used as the main component of the quilt's pattern work; her face split into two patchwork pieces at either side of her skull as Marcille slowly sews it back together. Beneath her ribs, is a large centre piece depicting a heart, with a silhouette of Falin lying on top of it. Tiny figures of Laois and Falin as a child stand on the quilt, looking at each other.

Stop Killing Games

@stopkillinggames.bsky.social

"Anthem actually had the code for local servers running in a dev environment right up until a few months up to launch," @markdarrah.bsky.social said. "I don't know that they still work but the code is there to be salvaged and recovered."

EOL plans for future games like this is what SKG is about!

Eurogamer @eurogamer.bsky.social · 7d

Could Anthem live on? Tech allowing us to host our own servers existed, former executive producer says - it would just need to be "salvaged and recovered".

And that's not the only idea for Anthem's future he has... www.eurogamer.net/anthem-local...

An Anthem screenshot showing a slim character with a shaved head standing close to the camera with their hands on their hips, and another female character with them, also with hands on hips, staring at the camera - the player - too. They are in some kind of stone flag-floored bunker.

watching bunny videos last night had me thinking about another aspect of AI that's pissing me off. It's depriving us of the sharing of real, lived experiences. Someone saw a moment of joy and wanted to do something so innately human and share that experience, that feeling.

i've definitely run into a weird type of folk whose approach to characters/stories is "if you wouldn't make them oomfie coded then what's the point"

the point is i like (fictional) assholes causing (fictional) problems because (fictional) drama is (real) interesting to me

people who have mean/prickly ocs are stronger than the marines because how do you deal with social interactions where a stranger ends up being actually rude about the oc just because you mention they're not a nice guy

Breaking artblock by drawing Danaegosa a little peeved while playing the bass

A rough sketch of a draconic gal with horns and messy hair sat cross legged, playing the bass. She's a little irritated about something but no one knows what.

You couldn't publish this today. You'd have to cloak it under several layers of metaphor.
