I feel so fuckin sad and lifeless when I’m not playing bg3. I’m sure that’s normal probably

If anyone is going to PAX West this weekend, check out the Gearbox Panel at the convention center, and the Fran’s Frogurts food truck in Westlake Park to get some free prints I designed for New Tales From The Borderlands!! 💛💛💛

My first assignment at 2K was creating the look and feel of the marketing for this game (style guide, graphic elements, colors, fonts, backgrounds, motifs, etc) and I have had so much fun working on this one and love how it all came out! And if any of you are in the area, it would be rad if you want to check it out and grab a free thing I made!!

Little life update. It’s officially my last week at P*kemon, last day is this thursday. I’ve never left a job before (been laid off, but never left of my own volition) so it’s been a weird and surreal experience, a little bittersweet in some ways. 

I’ll be starting a new job as senior graphic designer for core marketing at 2K games in July. I’m excited but nervous. I’m honestly a little scared they’ve overestimated me, they’ve been pursuing me since last september and since I had no opportunities at P*kemon, and they made me a very good offer, I decided to take the leap. 

I am at least relieved and excited to finally be able to do art full time again, just knowing that has already made me feel like i can breathe again. my current job was kind of killing me a little bit, i hate to say....the people were so nice, and i tried so hard but i was honestly so angry with myself the whole time i was there and felt guilty for feeling that way. I felt like i didn’t fit and just wanted to be doing creative work again. It really was not the right job for me. 

I fell into a pretty bad depressive episode because of it. So i am glad things are looking better in terms of career even though it couldn’t be at P*kemon. Idk if this will be the perfect job or anything like that, but I’ve already done some work on midnight suns and the quarry as contract work for 2K, so I know I like the work and the team seems very cool. And very happy to be able to work with a couple of people from my old team that are there now too. I have missed my big fish family so so so much, i’m looking forward to having at least a little piece of it back and i’m looking forward to working on some really cool and really big games that I never thought I’d ever be able to work on. 

I’ll try my best, wish me luck!

I had been working on a drawing for hours throughout the week, and I went to open it tonight to keep working on it and got some bullshit error that the file is not a valid photoshop document :( tried everything I could find on the internet to fix it, didn’t work. couldn’t even open it in a preview to grab a screenshot so I could at least paint over it. thought it was gone forever BUT

i was sharing my screen with my dnd crew during this week’s session showing them what i was working on and my boyfriend took a screenshot unbeknownst to me, because he thought i looked cute drawing 🥺 and was able to send that to me..! it’s low res, but at least I don’t have to restart completely from scratch. he saved the day!! ❤️❤️❤️

(Disclaimer: the dogs are not licking the paint, they are licking the outside of the ziploc bag which has sweet potato spread on it)

The doggos and I made these for my mom for Mother’s Day! She loved them :)
