Secret Invasion intro is AI generated. I’m devastated, I believe AI to be unethical, dangerous and designed solely to eliminate artists careers. Spent almost half a year working on this show and had a fantastic experience working with the most amazing people I ever met…

Some creature nonsense. Is it just me or do less and less big games want weird creatures in them. I guess having a unique rig and animation is costly, and can turn away certain demographics but I’m getting really bored of seeing army people and zombies.

Some Miss Minutes visdev for when she time travels/shuts down etc. Played with the idea of different OS versions- 90s windows, 8 bit, etc. We always do a lot more than we’re allowed to show… maybe some day I can show more (or in the artbook!)

Do we know which concept artist or designer designed this helmet for Gladiator? It sure left an impact and gets appropriated a lot. I just wish credit could be given where it is due. There certainly doesn’t seem to be any historical evidence for it anyways.

The motion of the hip joint. The animation demonstrates the movement of ligaments of the hip joint capsule and inner elements like the acetabular lip and the orbicular zone. Hope you enjoy the result!

I always wished there was a podcast about art direction in games or film. I’m so bored of hearing “I like it cause it’s stylized” or other vague statements, I wanna hear about the influences, why it resonates, is it consistent, is it in vogue, what can we learn from it etc

Artist is Rael Lyra, who also did some fantastic work for Anthem (never seems to get credited for his work)
Here is an initial concept art for Skakin’ Bones crafted by our talented artists. See how closely the final 3D version aligns with this initial vision. Can you spot the subtle divergences?
