Which band are you?

I'm realizing that it's just me making it about my preference, but maybe that feedback is relevant. I know I needed to know such things back then when I ran my magazine.

I just had a close look, and I was really close to becoming a paying member, but I am missing art features, or at least a larger number of them. With AI being a constant topic all over gaming-related sites, I would love to see more positive articles about handmade stuff, also in relation to games.

You made me curious, and I flipped through it. The orange flyleaves are amazing! I also think you had a good sense of placement of all the text, it is readable, and it is a good call to add handwritten notes and all that. And nice paper choice too! Got nothing to complain ;)

I love what Tippett says, by the way. I can totally see what he means. It is also a trait of bad leadership to micromanage everything and not trust experienced people and their vision.

Digital was a vortex of photorealism I couldn't turn off. I ended up hating what I did.

@spiridude.comSep 22, 2026, 9:33 AM

It is one of the reasons why I quit digital art before I quit art altogether. Digital art wasn't messy enough, and I started working on every detail, while when I worked traditionally- and this is what my prof liked- I went in there embracing all the happy accidents.

I still haven't looked at it because I plan to review it as my first look. I will let you know how much it sucks in the video ;)

@spiridude.comSep 22, 2026, 9:29 AM

I hope we are returning there, not just for the obvious reasons that mean the work I do finds more buyers, but also because it might lead to people specializing in something, and them being the person of a specific genre, mood, or item is far more exciting than looking at 10k generalists.

Oh thanks, Ian :) I got your art book with a sketch, which I put up on my wall immediately :) Much appreciated!

@spiridude.comSep 22, 2026, 9:05 AM

Where did you go? We are already scouting for places to go next.

forever winter looks really nice. the book i mean.

@spiridude.comSep 22, 2026, 9:00 AM

exciting :) congratulations!

Hm, but daredevil in general went downhill before. I didn't feel like the previous attempt really improved with each added season.

@spiridude.comSep 22, 2026, 8:50 AM

I am biased, but I'd say, buy books again and log off. And find inspiration mainly elsewhere, like Björn, who looks a lot at fashion to avoid that exact problem. Books also cost money, which makes you think twice. It is the big difference between endless scrolling through material until you stop.
