Thinking of my next memento mori design-- I'm going to create characters based on the four seasons, and I'm currently done with two: Summer (Estival) and Fall (Autumnal).
If Vernal is spring, what is Winter? What sounds better?
Brumal?
or
Hibernal?
I had a very strange dream last morning-- I was looking at my backyard in my childhood home and this creature walks slowly into view. Two of the legs moving forward, the other two walking backward. Like two half-horses fused in the middle. A black cloth was covering the top.

The fact that I see more animators and those interested in animation talking about Garfield and Wish than something like Scavenger's Reign or Mad God is a testament to how, despite claims of wanting more unique adult animation, I doubt how true that really is with many of them.

again, huh?
I'm Nathan, and my main focus is on SFF/horror themed work, largely ttrpgs and board games. Past clients include Little Caesars, Titan Books, DreamWorks, WotC, Osprey Books, the SyFy Channel and more.
Years back, I did a series of illustrations based on different mythological creatures from across the globe, one corresponding with each letter of the alphabet.
Do what you want with your art, but I feel that a lot of artists just haven't practiced enough with lineart-- get the right brushes, do studies, and try to translate the lineweight from the sketch.
I also think it's this cultural thing that clean lineart is always the best. 1/
Threads like this irk me a lot-- not only encouraging the policing of art/technique and discouraging beginners, but tracing has turned into a boogyman of sorts, as if it's the worst thing an artist can do.
This is an attitude I had to hammer out of my students.
You know, you can keep the sick art direction and instead turn the game into a single player campaign instead.
This being Marathon's fate really sucks. A looter shooter/overwatch clone. Wonderful.
NEW: Marathon's creative direction has reportedly shifted under Ziegler's leadership, "moving away from custom player characters in favor of a selectable cast of heroes."
