This is such an insane decision...You could have "a skeleton crew" and hire on "a per project basis" but you lose so much of the social glue, trust and the collective skillset of the wider team that is built up through constant collaboration over years. You can't buy that from the lowest bidder.

“Stasis” is a portrait painted by the artist Zara Alfonso, and is the first piece in her series about invisible illness. A portrait painting of a girl with skin so pale she’s almost translucent, her lips are tinged blue and she gazes upward through seemingly unseeing eyes. Pale moths and winged insects cover the expanse of her face and body, blending into her skin in places.

A painting featuring a four-armed spirit of nature tenderly 'helping' a greedy 'king' into the next life. She's holding a set of scales that drip blood. The man is lying on a forest floor littered with human skulls. It's all a very thinly veiled metaphor for a rich governing minority making careless, devastating decisions that affect all of us and have the potential to ruin our planet c: (I have been a little bit upset with the world, idk if that shows (°◡°)

A digital painting showing a conflict between a man and a woman clad in armor inspired by the Akkadian, Sumerian and Assyrian styles, with weapons to match. She is stabbing him in the throat, and he is cutting her through the waist, the injuries filling with bright light from within, and flesh turning into stone around them. They're surrounded by countless afterimages, and set against two suns.

The only thing artists must not do is trace or paint over each other's art for personal or professional pieces.

The caveats being for feedback purposes where permission has been obtained in advance, and if an artist explicitly allows for others to modify or make interpretations on their work.
