Hello #PortfolioDay 🤍 I’m Lia, a concept artist & illustrator with a background in video games. Now, as an art instructor, I focus on teaching and sharing what I’ve learned to help other artists. Today, I’m sharing a little love for my OCs: Saskia & Marisol 🫶🏻

Young artists looking for work, stop taking out your anger on professionals trying to give helpful advice. The industry you want to join highly values personability & people will simply not want to work with you if they see you as toxic or aggressive, regardless of skill. 1/2

DRAW BATARA IN YOUR STYLE ‼️ To celebrate 12K, I'm hosting a #BataraDTIYS of characters from my indie game BATARA: Fate Unbound! 🌟 You may choose whoever! More details🧵 End date is July 14 (my bday!), and I'll be highlighting my top 10 favorites 🫶 Tag me or @UnfatedStudios

"GAMING IS GOING WOKE" is an extremely large cope when put under a microscope. Let's take a look: 1. Not replaced, "there will always be Kratos games" according to Cory Barlog. 2. Ciri was always the most important character in the Witcher franchise. If this upsets you, you likely don't love The Witcher, you love the macho womanizer you turned Geralt into during your playthrough. 3. Joel had one game. Expecting him to be the hero of a franchise was always incredibly unrealistic if you actually played The Last of Us. 4. Again, one game. Additionally, this is not a sequential franchise. The setting, struggle, and protagonist is probably going to change in every title. 5. I've literally never seen someone legitimately complain about Chloe. Also, her story was an expansion for A Thief's End. 6. Zagreus is a queer character. This is not the win *those* people think it is and reeks of tourism. 7. Literally everyone and their mother wanted this game. Pretend outrage and a massive reach.

AI is so popular because it gives uncreative people the illusion that they are creative. It lets them skip right to the part where they get validation. It’s not only parasitic, but extremely narcissistic.

It was incredibly difficult to narrow things down to such a small percentage of applicants out of the hundreds we received. To the genuine artists who didn't make it this round: please don't be discouraged, and feel free to reapply when new openings come up. That said, if you’re trying to play pretend with an AI-generated portfolio... just don't. You aren't fooling anyone, and it’s a waste of everyone's time. 🫩

How detailed is your art? 🦋

MORIYAN, THE UNFATED 🪡 My OC and protagonist of my Indonesian game BATARA: FATE UNBOUND. In a world where everyone has a fate, what happens when your fate was mysteriously severed? There is no choice but to become a herald of a change.

The most important aspect of concept art is gathering information, references and letting your creativity flow through creating your own iterations BY HAND. I can tell a lot of the times when someone used an AI reference in their process. It still poisons the process. On top of that, the time it takes to correct the shitty references AI outputs could’ve been used towards actually doing it yourself from scratch and it also would’ve turned out better. It’s pointless.

Thank you all for the support on this! I will have to close applications soon as we got way more than I was expecting, with each position receiving over 200, even 300 submissions.

It’s crazy to me that people don’t realize that everything they use in their day to day life has been (and will continue to be) designed by an artist. From the clothes you wear, to your chair, your car, tv shows, games, your phone, the apps on your phone etc. The same way you cannot comprehend having a world without jobs such as engineers, you also cannot have a world without artists. We aren’t going away anytime soon, nor is the demand for our services.

After so many iterations, here is the menu and inventory screen I did for my upcoming Indonesian-inspired Sekiro-like game "BATARA: FATE UNBOUND." 🔥‼️ Wishlist now on Steam and our K1ckstarter is launching early June!
