What’s Been Up – May 2023

Hello! Just wanted to share and vent about things going on lately. I’ve come to accept the fact that I’m not really heavy on ideas right now. I tried many things since releasing the Jet Dancer game, but none of it really stuck. So I’ve been turning my attention to drawing just to keep active….

My thoughts on AI “Art”

AI is definitely a threat to artists. But it’s also not going to go away. People who are using AI instead of hiring an artist are the kind of folks who wouldn’t have been willing to pay your prices anyway. They would have looked for discounts, for free work, for whatever it takes to spend…

I’m just also still not quite as focused as I’d like to be, but I’m always working on something. Currently I’m redesigning my https://jonathanpriceart.net/portfolio/weapon-combat-league/ characters to update them and to practice…

Getting back to work on WCL

I don’t know how my followers feel about WCL. Few people say anything, but this is the project that means the most to me. It keeps coming back, no matter how I try to convince myself to draw girls or make games or learn ZBrush or do something with Jet Dancer, WEAPON Combat League is…

December Update

I know I said I would be posting a game development diary for the Jet Dancer game, but that kind of fell by the wayside when I started picking up some commission work. It got me back into the vibe of illustration, and I’ve produced a number of random girl drawings as well as my…

A little survey.

Sometimes it helps to get outside feedback. I figure with over 500 likes on my Facebook page, I should be able to get a few decent responses in regards to my creative work and future plans. While I know the ultimate decision is mine, I am curious to know what others think about my work…
