#artvsartist for 2025: 💜
Started with a big #pixelart commission project followed by 6 months of #gamedev as I learned #gamemaker programming and rebuilt 60% of demo systems for #Moonshell_Island. A challenging but satisfying year of growth for me. 💪🦀

Folks who don’t make things don’t realize that art is ALL process

The discovery and direction provided at the earliest concept stages is invaluable

Even programmer napkin drawings shape the vision

If you launder these crucial early steps through plagiarism machines, what are you even polishing?

KOSA is back along with 17 other dangerous censorship and surveillance laws that congress is trying to ram through.

CALL UR REPRESENTATIVE TODAY AND TELL THEM

—no KOSA
—do not repeal Section 230
—no online digital ID laws
—no age verification laws

CALL NOW!!!! We are about to lose the internet

Republicans are looking for a way to bring back the AI moratorium Congress’ last attempt to pause state AI regulations failed.

Guess it’s time to call the senators again, but ughhh can these jerks just…stop? 💀

Backed by the Heritage Foundation and Big Tech, KOSA will force everyone to upload their ID to access the internet. In an age when Palantir has direct ties to ICE, where technofascists are in power and want to eliminate and censor everything, we CANNOT allow KOSA to pass.

It NEEDS mass pushback.

Friends (esp if you live in CA) we REALLY need signatures on this petition supporting Bill AB412 - the AI Copyright Transparency Act.

TLDR = this will require AI corps to be transparent about what is in their datasets!

Signing takes 1 min. Once you sign, PLEASE SHARE!! tinyurl.com/4uxbp963

I'm a college dropout and everything I know about art and video games I learned online and from just making things. so I'm really not the right person to give any advice on this. I'm sure someone on here with actual experience will be able to help you out. I wish you best of luck with your career!

Derusting after a bit of a hiatus with sprites for Akinai's Shop! Run by the lovely kitsune lady you can see here for scale, this will be one of the main places where to stock up on resources and chat with other characters. #pixelart #gamedev

congrats, but also, damn

I'm doing relatively fine. thank you!

a week of low self-confidence means the next week is gonna be one of high self-confidence! hang in there!!

KIRBY AIR RIDE!!! AND DONKEY KONG!!!!!

“AI made art accessible” is like saying burglary made me having your tv accessible

Some people think game dev an indulgent hobby, but I've never worked so hard, risked so much, overcame so many challenges, or faced so many fears in my life. The level of expectation and lack of resources to live up to them is insane. Please support indie devs. We need it.
