This is a personal project that I'm working on. It is called Knights & Spies. Here is the first character: Lancelot.

@shiyoonk Are we ok with leaving the most humanistic and living feature, storytelling, that humans possess to AI? Why are we here then?

[Oscar Chávez @ochavez77]

@formandsymbol @shiyoonk Totally agreed 👍👍

[Oscar Chávez @ochavez77]

@shiyoonk It amazes me that you still struggle with insecurity. Glen Keane & Jin Kim used to talk about insecurity as well even at the peak of their career. Perhaps insecurity is the boost that every artist should carry on in their path? What if our insecurity is our advantage against AI?

Calling all artists: I’m the creator and author of cyberpunk comic series Killtopia.

I’m always on the look out to hire guest artists for art prints to go with our Kickstarter campaigns.

Hit me up with a follow for the next time we open up paid commissions.

RTs welcome!

All these game industry layoffs! Hard times ahead for lots of great creatives. Having "been there and back", I'm putting together a free webinar for anyone who seeks new tools, practices and advice to navigate the emotional rollercoaster. Stay tuned...

@shiyoonk I might sound stupid asking this but I'm eager to know what are those 3 things🙏🥹

"I wanted to be an animator but talk about something that's even harder than this and is even more crazy."

Thank you, Paul Giamatti, for finally acknowledging that being an animator is HARDER than being a live actor.

I think all great drawings and all great stories are tapping in to our human need for insight. Without it nothing really will satisfy and have any consequence to us.

@shiyoonk (2) Like an Egon Schiele drawing: No perfect lines but a perfect emotion of the subject... (this came up to me when I was reading your response). Thank you so much!!! I cannot be grateful enough for taking the time for this incredible explanation🙏🙏

[Oscar Chávez @ochavez77]

@shiyoonk (1) Sure, now I can see what he meant with this quote. We get so involved in our inner quality check list that we tend to forget to add emotion to our drawings... Is it a conjunction of lines that are well crafted together to build an emotion? Like poetry does with words? Like...

[Oscar Chávez @ochavez77]

@shiyoonk Thanks for sharing this amazing quote... But I have to be honest and recognise that I'm still too blind to understand what it means.. Sorry for asking this but would you be so kind to share what he is saying in this quote? What's the meaning of this?

[Oscar Chávez @ochavez77]

@shiyoonk @ryanlangdraws IMHO, I think we should maintain united as a community & grow stronger in our principles. Which principles? By adding emotion, rhythm, sensitivity in every line we use to draw. AI will never beat Feelings. You @shiyoonk @ryanlangdraws must keep inspiring us & showing us the way.
