More of my development work on Strip Law on Netflix for Sheila.

Very fun and dynamic character to explore! Her design seemed the most set in stone from the start, but even then I got to explore some various takes for her.

Really enjoyed pushing the flair acting through her hands with these.

My early dev work for Irene from Strip Law Netflix

I love drawing the buff girlies - so this character was right up my wheelhouse. Admittedly, I think I went too far with the muscles, but sometimes you just have to push to 11 to find out that 20’ inch arms are too big, y’know.

My early development work for Lincoln Gumb for Netflix Strip Law - now streaming!

My take on the show looks very different than what the show ended up looking like - I was playing around with a more realistic style. Specifically I was experimenting with a very elongated take on the characters.

like yeah that darren aranofsky AI thing looks like garbage but i am especially bothered by the "its genAI but with SAG actors" because it shows how there is a complete lack of solidarity between actors and visual effect and animation workers

Worked on this back when it was still in development! Super excited to see this releasing! Congrats to the crew that made this possible!

HELL YEAH!!

Look at what we did TOGETHER! Comic-con has quietly changed their language and will NOT allow GenAi imagery in their art show!

And this happened because you all wrote letters, and shared your concerns! Speaking up works EVERY time!

So congrats friends! We did this together!!!

I’m sorry, but to bring back Steve Rogers in a teaser trailer for Doomsday feels so cheap and lazy.

Like what a giant admission that everything since Endgame was a failure with audiences. Whatever doomsday will be it truly feels like we are in the DCEU era of the MCU. Sucks man

i think if you use genai for anything, even writing an email, you're both a moron and a huge baby, and i dont want to play your video game as a result. its not that hard!

Really annoying that people who defend it for small ease of use things are basically just talking about wanting a search engine replacement but it is objectively worse at being a search engine?

Never have small acts of human creativity mattered so much. Paint, draw, put on a play, write a song, learn an instrument, write a story (or a book!). The worst thing you ever make will be better than all this slop.

I feel like more games would get better scores if reviewers weren’t crunched for time to get the reviews out on the embargo datesπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
