WOMEN & NON-BINARY GAME DEVS!
As part of my PhD, I will be looking to interview lots of game devs and I want to talk to YOU!

If you are a woman and/or non-binary game dev, or know of anyone & would be willing to have a chat about your work and yourself, please reach out!

Hola #porfolioday! My portfolio didn't change much, but now my Red Queen has hair 💇‍♀️ and a cape with fur on their way! And full face metahuman rig, all working on unreal.

A photo of a knitted baby blanket laid out flat. It has alternating stripes in forest green and copper brown which are separated by smaller stripes in grey. Each stripe has a different textured pattern.

Another photo of the same blanket, this time folded up. The patterns and texture are more clearly visible.

Not as much knitting on the go lately since I've been focusing more on weaving, but I did at least finish this baby blanket with a month or so to spare! 🧶

this image shows a variety of armor made with my customization system in unreal engine #madewithsubstance #ue5 #unrealengine #gamedev #gameart #zbrush #digitalart #indiedev

I AM DONE DONE
Well want to know how I made all this? Check out my artstation www.artstation.com/artwork/NqAZaP

Made a little turnaround to show shading (with some issues to fix)

Athena is a print from @medusadollmaker.bsky.social, and Arachne was crafted by etsy.com/shop/DreamingSpiders

A photo of a framed artwork of the goddess Athena. She is illustrated in black white, and gold, and has an owl, spear snake, and shield with her. There is a small spider made from beads and wire on the upper corner of the frame.

A close-up of the spider visible in the previous photo. Its head and body are small bits of volcanic stone, and its limbs are beads. All of these have a rainbow colouration and are held together with gold wire.

Phew, okay, I was worried for a while I'd lose my Classics Nerd credentials since my weaving space lacked the mandatory decor. All good now!

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

One of the hardest lessons I learned early on in my career is professional loyalties mean nothing to companies. It doesn't matter how much of yourself you give to a project, they care about their bottom line and what else that gets them.

Having firm boundaries with work is a healthy work ethic.

You don't need to watch this. The trailer, the show, none of it.

You are not a child anymore. There are other stories.

Potter may have once been a well of inspiration or joy, but that well is poisoned by the venom of its creator who sees every engagement as endorsement of her war on trans people.

Please fill this out. These things are going to get people killed.

Bronze Age loom weaves a tale of ancient textiles A collapsed roof preserved wood from one of the world’s oldest weaving machines

Looms were one of mankind's first machines, but intact finds of the perishable wood constructions are extremely rare. In @antiquity.ac.uk, a Spanish team reports finding the remains of a Bronze Age weaving workshop, including one of the oldest looms ever recovered. @science.org

Using AI for your art references not only gives you a skewed & inaccurate view of the world, it also puts resource providers like myself & all these awesome people out of work!

Using REAL photo references is what levels up your art AND supports the stock/resource community! ❤️💪

Alex: Yes, we've given everyone a beautiful snow-white bull to sacrifice to Poseidon!

Greg: I'm glad nobody would be tempted to keep such a lovely bull for themselves. I mean, we all know Poseidon would notice immediately.

Alex: Oh, absolutely. Shall we see Minos' attempt first?

It’s not about whether you personally like or dislike remote work - it’s about executives trying to strip options, jobs & rights away from *everybody*.

Working remotely is not just a better setup for many disciplines: it allows teams to include different people w/ different strengths & experiences.
