This piece was concepted over a year before I painted it. Originally I envisioned the original Kiki-Jiki, but realized that didn't make a lot of mechanical sense as Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker can't copy himself. "Reflection" sells it much better imo.

If you want a GTA tier later you will have to fund a weird little game with silly ideas in it now. That’s the deal.
Just a PSA for all the other major publishers: You can’t make a GTA 6. Don’t have any meetings about it. Don’t put together any pitch decks. Don’t preemptively doom your workforce and the industry any further than you already have. Leave it alone.

It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.

it's so vital to have journalists who cover the video game industry, so we have full context on shit like this
Asha Sharma assigned to Federal Reserve's "productivity and jobs" task force the same week she oversaw 1,600 layoffs (with another 1,600 to come)
