There should be some global 3D art challenge like "do anything but don't delete the default cube" unless it already happened in the past..
This comment moved me... because I think in similar way and just do not understand "mainstream, people" at all at times.
I apologize for being Off topic! And writing more text than I should.
Exactly as you said you have ie great game which worked 24 years ago and gave everyone so much joy and is still exactly same today. Yet very little people give it even try now and want to play "new new new" which is usually worse... because its targeted these days to "everyone" not skilled audience. It is SIMPLIFIED too much. And indie titles are too "meta" on other hand, for people with no other hobbies. (And of course I know there are great new things every year! I just missed.)
Even ie internet browser as you know - I want it to work as I am used to... I don't want to turn it on and find new icons I'll never use, new bugs. My time is precious I don't want to spend hours to "get used" because I know that effort is meaningless as yet another "new" layout, features, look will be inserted upon me in just few months... all the which gives mi ZERO benefit compared to old. Those all are upgrades just for the sake of upgrades not real progress.
Pretty soon in my life I realized how insignificant we are. We live only blink of an eye compared to age of only known universe (how old and big is unknown eh?!) and are so small literally

So I kinda refused mentally to be "ruled" by time or what others do. I like thing "X" and I will like it century from now unless I find really better thing "Y". But even then I will always remember fondly that old thing. Ie old anime characters I used to love so much.
And also I always searched for timeless patterns, you know the stuff people (or even animals, nature) did millennia ago and which still works today! And there is plenty of those including art styles. And yet many more were forgotten thanks to ever present laziness and effort to "cut corners" until you cut them too much too many times and break the "thing" and forgot it. Until it is rediscovered much latter again.
And I just feel day after day, that bright future promised so strongly and repeatedly in late 80s 90s and early 00s was redirected somewhere to mildly dystopian sci-fi world full of lemmings. As if it was stolen right before everyone eyes yet almost everyone is BLIND and too stupid to realize that. And find shocking how people so eagerly "drink" that new poisoned toxic "culture / life style" even if there are records of old joy giving or marvelous great alternative stuff (your works) available. And it is so obvious, because what "we" watch again and again? Bastardized remakes of 30y old stuff like Ghostbusters... which adds nothing to that classic even Marvel-verse sucks old characters and plots dry with only little real new substance.
Eeeeeh :-D sorry I end it right here as I started to rant too much. But I feel so good knowing you see things at least somehow similarly as I do love your art most. And times will change for the better, I still believe that.

Yeah, I personally think that in the future there should be laws forbidding automatic software updates, much like there's the laws about cookies and user data and all that stuff... Because it's turning into a huge problem with so many bad programmers in the world. If I want a new version, I can download it myself, and I don't want to be forced to beta-test someone's bugged code.
"Pretty soon in my life I realized how insignificant we are."
You know the Oscar awards, Hollywood not only making movies but awarding themselves for making them, just how silly is that? If you want to feel significant, you should do the same, simply invent your own criteria for significance and then give yourself a prize :D
"We live only blink of an eye compared to age of only known universe"
Yeah but we live on a miracle planet that is so unique that no other known planet has air, water, forests, cities and even the internet. This is practically the most significant planet in the entire known universe and humans are the most significant species, according to themselves :D
"Bastardized remakes of 30y old stuff like Ghostbusters..."
I dunno, I think movies are for teenagers. Watching tutorials on Youtube, that's the real thing :D But you stick to what YOU like :D
Iam so grateful for all those little insights you tell us about creating those masterpieces.
And when you speak about it - even in high budget shows these days you can see it is all just lazzy copy paste of same models. And as you said its not immersive how even 25 years old movie CGI scenes were. At that time true artists gave their best to make unforgetable scenes... . As you are doing for us that is!!! And yours are even better many times :-)

Thank you so much for taking your time to comment the same way after I think more than 2 or 3 years since your first comments here! All long-term things always made me very happy for some reason, e.g. people who do the same thing for years, musicians who make albums after albums in the same style, video games you can play for many months sometimes without getting bored, programs and tools that you used for years and they never get old, etc... I'm not saying I don't like new things and new people, just long-term things give the feeling of something special :D

"serrious" 3D version! But you seamlessly made 2D version which is very different yet also pleasing to look at. I mean it looks so simple compared to other one, yet only because you can draw so well... and most of all know what and how to draw :)
The fact, that he is even here portraied as independent strong "barbarian" is just amazing... and yet you would give him sweet kiss right away :D + even quick story is funny and good hearted what more to say...

I think Danny's picture could be the same tribe but not the same character, maybe sharing similar outfits... This boy is more likely to be the same as this one :3
Also great to see the classic 2D art! I love your new 3D stuff but you are just such a fantastic 2D artist too! Missed seeing the old style work and it's so amazing to see it again! Combine them and you're an amazing 5D artist!
Sorry I haven't been as vocal lately, anxiety disorder sucks. Your art (and writing) actually helps with that some, a fantastic distraction when it hits hard. Thank you so much for continuing to post for so many years!

I once went to a real psychologist about my own anxiety disorder and he recommeded this book "Anxiety Free: Unravel Your Fears Before They Unravel You" by Robert L. Leahy. I don't read much usually but somehow this psychologist guy was an inspiring person and I'm usually lazy to read whatever other people recommend, but this time I dunno why but I did spend some time to find this book and then started reading it... Well, I haven't even finished that book when I realized I was pretty much anxiety free already at some point XD Well, that was several years ago, I've never had any anxiety since then! :3
