I would love to see all of you on this 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝘂𝗹𝘀𝗲. 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼 𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀 and it baffles me on a regular bases, that even AAA games still trip over easy to identify mistakes in character creation, when it comes to true gender inclusivity. Yeah, it is great to choose your pronouns in 𝗛𝗼𝗴𝘄𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗰𝘆 independently from your outer appereance. But this is obsolete, if you can't choose face options and clothing options independent from each other. If you have a rather feminine/androgynous face you have to wear skirts. That's it. Even 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗱𝘂𝗿𝘀 𝗚𝗮𝘁𝗲 - which does great in so many ways - fails in my opinion: Like you can have primary male sexual characteristics and secondary female sexual characteristics - you can even choose a specific type of 🍆 or 🐚 but beware if you choose a "female" considered face... you will have boobs - not adjustable. As someone who loves to explore nonbinary character options in video games I really wish, developers would truly listen to the community in order to achieve REAL gender inclusivity. 🏳️🌈 TL;DR: Come and join this gorgeous talk by Arden Osthof 😊

What makes people's creative process so intriguing? (sketches, behind-the-scenes, time lapse videos, etc) For me, I love seeing how people's brains work and how they make their vision come to life. It's inspiring and helpful to see how something goes from ideation to final product. There's a lot that goes on behind the scenes and when we get to see behind the curtain it honestly makes things even more magical. Whose work do you follow to see their process? Share in the comments! Image: Here's my sketch to final illustration from a collaborative poster project I worked on in 2020. Different artists created the same image in their own style using the same palette.

How The Legends crafted this captivating reel for Living Alchemy… ✅We set up the scene with perfect lighting, backdrops and stability with a tripod for the flat lay shot. ✅Using an iPhone camera set to the 9:16 format, we captured a series of images adjusting the product for each small movement. ✅With all the stop-motion images captured, we sourced stock photos of the ingredients featured in the product. ✅Using CapCut, we seamlessly integrated the stop-motion images, setting them to a duration of 0.4 seconds each. ✅We added the ingredient images, editing them into the frame to match the motion, style and duration of the stop-motion images. Simple as that (right? 😆)

In this project, I make a self-portrait in the style of the video game Genshin Impact.
