I’m a bit disconnected from here lately, but today is that day!
Let’s go #PortfolioDay!
Hi there! I’m Alvaro Jimenez, illustrator and cover artist specialised in fantasy and grimdark art!
Here are some new ones!
Slop prince. It implies that the trash kingdom that they built isn't even one they actually rule over
the one-two punch of taxes kicking my ass and going towards horrible things
A graphic showing Molto, the Deadrat leader of the Thousand Eyes faction, in front of a blue background showing rising stocks and an arrow trending upwards a la the "stonks" meme.

Getting ready for the Night Market by preparing very important faction related materials! 🐀

For the late night ESO crowd, dusting off my DK and getting him ready for the Night Market. What do we think of his new name?

I interviewed professional stylist Alexander-Julian Gibbson and asked him to rank the fashion of One Piece, Bleach, and Naruto. But most importantly, I had him put another matter to rest: pre-timeskip vs post-timeskip Nico Robin. His answer, as a fellow Miss All Sunday enjoyer, didn't disappoint.
Informative.
Stressed at OP15 pre-release, not because I’m losing, but because I’m going to be very late to raid night lmao
Bluesky post by mattie lubchansky @mattielubchansky.com "i think sometimes cis people truly have a hard time understanding that jk rowling is a living person actively using her wealth to fund the international assault on trans lives. she’s not some Complicated Author we can have a spirited debate about separating from the art with!!!!!"
Harry Potter money directly harms trans people.
JK Rowling openly uses her profits to fund anti-trans groups. These groups are so successful in stripping trans people's rights largely due to being so well funded.
There is a direct line from money spent on Harry Potter to trans people being harmed.
Lots of thoughts on the ending of Chainsaw Man!! Above all, I want to read that final arc again with the physical mangas, don't think it benefitted from week to week.
Still one of my all time faves, a series that regularly rewired my brain chemistry.
Do yourself a favor and read Witch Hat Atelier!
I'm still really far from my Stream Team goal of 1K followers on Twitch, but I'm following that quest with just as much ambition as ever.
I think it's all that keeps me from properly qualifying
Image is of a painting in Crimson Desert that is clearly made from Gen AI Zoom in on thr horse legs and bodies.
Ive been pretty strict in my Gen AI stance. But I dont think ive been strict enough.
If a game developer/publisher doesnt directly say that Gen AI didnt touch their game. Im not getting it.
These CEOs and leads are trying to snake around the subject.
Crimson Desert being the latest. Do better.
In One Battle After Another you can spot my high school theatre teacher, J.Rod!
Without him I doubt I would’ve pursued a creative field! Wild hearing his voice in this (and can’t imagine what it’s like to have Benicio call you by name)!
I also may or may not have given Oliis Bay a Jel name in the Bow page of the Voskrona Guardian style …
This is me when you say nice things about my writing. In case you were wondering.
DLSS 5 OFF // DLSS 5 ON
I was asked to give my thoughts on generative AI usage in games - here they are!
What filming in El Paso does to a movie.
“Argonians are overrated”
Photographs of a dinosaur-looking bird, the shoebill, and popstar Sabrina Carpenter, overlaid with a height comparison showing both are 152 cm, with visual graphics saying the magazine's name SSWAGGER and some Chinese characters
Photographs of a shoebill and popstar Sabrina Carpenter overlaid with a height comparison showing that, yes indeed, both are just 152 cm
I can't even begin to describe this photograph. I think that might be Taylor Swift on a night out with Sabrina Carpenter. But Sabrina is photoshopped to have a shoebill face and talons, with wing-tips coming out her coat but still Sabrina's hair
Just incredible shoebill awareness-raising from this Hong Kong teens' magazine
hehehe
The leader of Xor-Hist also has some fun flavor related to this!
Word on the streets* is that you might get a sneak peak at the Crimson Veldt in today's Dev Updates livestream!
*work slack
I cannot emphasize enough that these people are being laid off for failing to do things that are literally impossible
If you work in a creative industry, you *must* read this
“If you were a man, every one of those negatives would be in the positive column.” - My first performance review in games included as negatives: “personality is too big, too confident, asks too many questions”
Yes, there’s a double standard
