"Real men" aren't real and thereby, in the end, aren't even men.

A digital painting from the perspective of a dementia patient. It's an artistic interpretation of what the world might feel like when viewed through this lens. The patient is in bed, surrounded by family but each one of them appears severely estranged, faces and other features are distorted, absent, confusing, or exaggerated to a point where they feel dangerous. Examining people from left to right, on the left, closest to the patient, there is a lanky woman, one hand resting on the bed, the other reaching out to you with exaggerated perspective. A grotesquely large, desparate grin stretches across her face as she seems to be crying and laughing at the same time. Behind her on the left side a person is wearing black. But the black appears as a hole, consuming the world around it and cracking into any matter behind or in front of it. Their face appears severely distorted and partially missing due to the presence of another deep black void in it. The glasses are strangely duplicated and arranged in a nonsensical pattern. To the right in the back, there is a bearded man holding a child whose facial features are entirely absent. The patient doesn't recognise the child at all. For the man, all identifying features are replaced with hair. Closest on the right is a person with a face that has all parts twisted and misplaced to the point where it looks as if it came right out of a picasso painting. They are holding a large cake right in front of the patient's face, above the bed. The candles' flames engulf its entire top and create the impression of an enormous, dangerous fire that could catch on anything else in the room at any moment. In the background there is a large banner. It might have been a cheerful message like "Happy Birthday" but the writing is illegible and feels completely alien. Overall, the scene feels threatening, confusing, and alienating as the disease turns what was meant to be a friendly gesture by loved ones into a bizarre horror trip.

The distorted world. Interpretation in the alt text.

Hab für dich was geregelt 🤜

Ich könnte dir nur entfolgen aber dann bekomm ich deine Krankheitsupdates nicht mehr und das kann ich nicht mit meinen Werten vereinbaren.

Creature Concept: Draco (mecha amphitere) Digital illustration of a robotic winged snake on a black background. His tongue is made of black metal, and two plasma globes are fastened to the back of his head. Yellow-painted spikes stick backwards from the back base of each globe, and similar stripes run the length of the creature's body on its back. The long serpentine body is made of spacesuit-like white canvas, and has metal plates sewn into it on the top and belly. Between the metal plates is a long row of rocket boosters, some of which are firing white and orange flames. the tip of the tail, at the very end of the serpent's body, is split into 3 black tendrils made of similar material to its tongue. They crackle with lighting rods that jump between them. A pair of draconic wings sprouts from Draco's sides, made of a jointed metal frame with a rubber membrane stretched between. Inset in the membrane of each wing is a pair of large propellers. Art by @sarahdraws8.bsky.social.

Creature Concept: The Executrix (Gorgon-Lamia Gynoid) A thin, robotic woman with a giant khopesh in one hand and a smoking rocket launcher in the other slithers in front of a black background on her snake-like lower body of metal plates. Her mouth is open in a scream, and black oil is sloshing out of it while neon magenta flames streak from her eyes, which are weeping tears of similar oil. Her entire head is medusa-like, and her scalp is ringed by mechanical snakes whose heads all point in the direction her khopesh is raised. Their mouths are opened to reveal firing gun barrels mounted in their throats. Art by @sarahdraws8.bsky.social.

Creature Concepts: Rage and Sorrow the Mechanical Harpies 2 robotic harpies on a grey background. They have long necks with a single rotating joint in the middle, and metallic masks that look like women's faces form their heads. The jaw of these masks is open, and a flamethrower protrudes from Rage's mouth, while a sonic pulse weapon sits in Sorrow's. Bird-like wings made of metal feathers sprout from their backs, and a shawl-like fabric covering that flaps in the wind is fastened to both pairs of wings. Both harpies sport a long, snake-like tail. Sorrow's is tipped with a blade, and Rage's ends in a tube that belches smoke. Art by @sarahdraws8.bsky.social.

May I ask to be added, perhaps?

I am currently working on my own sci-fi themed indie game. I am still in the concept art stages, so here are some examples of that, if you want to see. 👉👈

Wow these look so awesome! I like your creature design and overall artstyle quite a bit. Thank you for sharing them, Sarah :)

Added you, of course!

Happy #InternationalWomensDay!

To celebrate and highlight wonderful women working on games, and because I think we need more of them in the industry, I made this little starter pack:

I want to keep adding to it so please suggest more!

And yes, trans women are women. #gamedev

Quack quack!!

A seamless texture pattern depicting rubber ducks on a wavy, purple background. Some ducks are front-facing while others are seen from the side. One of the duck has an evil glare. All of them are cute.

A digital painting of a desert landscape by Yän. Dunes can be seen in the background. In the foreground, a leafless weather-worn tree is stretching across the image, clearly blown from left to right by strong winds over time.

Made a quick little landscape painting today

Shutaro Ida aka "Curry the Kid" leaves behind an enormous legacy and his passing is a major loss for video games. His work has accompanied me most of my life and I'm saddened by these news. I can however surely say that he will be remembered for his outstanding contributions to metroidvanias. RIP.

Had a great time and lots of interesting conversations with great people. Thanks for having me!
