      The industry died with the absolute fricking morons at Blizzard being baited out of forming a union. Naturally the industry itself would have poisoned, propped itself up to assume power, but they could have experienced balanced workloads and proper benefits for at least a year.

      "Artist" posts a great AI image. Proceeds to post ten more images that are basically the same.

      AI is getting ridiculously good now. 90% of the images in the AI porn threads on /b/ and /trash/ are actually fappable. It's insane. Before I just looked at them as a novelty, something pretty and fun to play around with.

      Artgays will try to fight against it as hard as they can but ultimately it's a losing battle.

          Though i get the feeling that there is more to the story than we are being told. As in some art director told them to redo it because market demand.
          The actual shitfit seems to be this person making changes to "its" art at behest of people above them
          Typical artists type that go to work for other people and get mad they cant draw shit the way they want then get made about being told off.

        >We forgive for having structure in their faces (chiseled, sharp) and we gasp when women have a wrinkle.
        Is he really too moronic to get that his conclusion makes no sense, because "chiseled, sharp" male faces ARE the idealized version of men and not at all the same as wrinkles. And even if his comparison wasn't moronic, these people have to stop equalizing everything, which extra ironic because they somehow want to be more progressive about women, yet change their designs with the idolized version of men as the standard to go by.

        Yeah they haven't done this with the males in their game at all. Imperfections everywhere, constantly. In no way do they just smooth everything out and give every one of them a strong sharp jawline, an upturned nose, and longer necks with ever-slimmer six-pack waists.

        Iron Stylus is one of those artists who you could see descend into this leftist mind rot in real time. He created Leona's design himself from scratch, with little eternal input, and she has
        >High Heeled plate boots
        >A tight slim waist with form-fitting attire
        >Boobplate to show off her rack
        >An open-faced helmet/circlet to show off her feminine beauty

        About a year after she was put into the game he made a big rant on the old (now deleted) forums about how he was completely out of touch when he made her, and his objectification was showing through etc. If he was allowed to (which thankfully he never was before he was laid off) he wanted to remove all the previously mentioned features because they were a form of, in his words, "soft monogyny".

        Now days all the women in heavy armor he draws look like pic related.

          I was always annoyed with Leona's original design because of the plate bra over the body stocking. Although my change would have been to give her a boob cuirass and remove the body stocking so she looked kinda spartan-y instead.

      Devs already did that years ago, it was called League of Legends. Updating games like League of Legends or Dota or Minecraft is like updating chess, any change you make affects every other facet of every other fricking thing. If you frick up an update you can kill the game and waste millions of dollars. At the very least with skins it's guaranteed money.

          Barring you and your ilk, the answer is simply "women aren't allowed to be too sexy because it 'objectifies women.'"
          It doesn't, but social manipulation is so heavy-handed in everything nowadays that it doesn't matter what the truth is.

      That's literally what most jobs are. You either sacrifice autonomy for some measure of stability or try to make it on your own without starving in the process. No one is going to give you "creative independence" until you've proven yourself insanely talented, successful or just plain lucky.

    This is not a games industry exclusive problem. I really don't mean to sound like a leftist but this is what happens when companies need to make sure profits keep going up, benefits are expensive so it's cheaper to keep employees in a contract position.

      Yeah.
      I think another interesting point is that GAAS was pushed as a way to keep devs and other people involved in the game industry at work. Rather than layoffs or what not between game cycles causing job precarity.
      And it's now resulting in... the exact opposite lmao. Due to constant work available it's cheaper to just keep a list of free lance artists. And more beneficial due to a more robust supply of art styles.
