Tom Parker

happy #PortfolioDay, I am currently on the lookout for new adventures 😊 These are a couple of my favourites that I made for the Total War Warhammer series 😊 lots more still to show when the DLCs launch More work samples here artstation.com/crazyfool instagram.com/tom_parker.art/

@FlippedNormals It’s banned in most studios, no matter how many articles they pay for to say otherwise. And the public perception of it is lowering by the day.

Are you more or less worried about AI today than you were 6 months ago? Personally feeling like we're starting to see its limitations and how it is not the end-all be-all for artists.

@TheCartelDel @andrewpprice ‘Third-to-person’ tells you everything you need to know 🤣

@andrewpprice How many games have you worked on?

Since everyone is dunking on this slide from 7 years ago; I estimated the end cost of an asset when it arrives in a final, AAA third-to-person game. This includes revisions, admin, vendor integration and all the other bs hidden costs and meetings that go into an asset. Then I guessed what was procedural, reusable or one off. I then showed this to two directors at two separate game studios who said it was a "very reasonable estimate". I don't know why the traffic cone seemingly got an extra zero for no reason. That's definitely wrong. But if anything, the rest of the estimates feel way too conservative. Like the CFO at Ubisoft is probably laughing at this for the opposite reason you are.

@IsThisA3DModel This is a particularly ‘good’ one too 🤣

lmao they couldn't even be bothered to make it consistent with the 2 face selection

@TheIshikawaRin I stopped watching his videos a long time ago when he started this. What a kick in the face to all the people working on these games

I cannot express the contempt I feel seeing a massive YouTube channel like theRadBrad (14 million subscribers) so blatantly using AI generated slop in their thumbnails

@geoffkeighley ‘Make it stop!’ 🚫

“Make it more epic.” 
EA Chief Strategy officer Mihir Vaidya demonstrates how EA plans to super-charge user-created game content with AI in this concept video "Imagination to Creation" from EA’s Investor Day event in NYC today.

@GeorgeCrudo ‘Try not to be a Luddite’ at the very end ….they can’t help themselves 😂

art software company: we hate AI and are not going to integrate it into our software artists who buy and use the software: awesome thanks for listening to us. we don't want it blue check ai guy on twitter:

Everytime I see this advert I have a little chuckle. It works on so many levels, should we pirate? Is this how they trained Firefly? Maybe the wrong ‘ArTiSt’ to use at the moment whilst we all look for alternatives

The replies to this are giving me hope! Everyone hates AI!!!

@bryant_hamish Yea she was a lot of fun, although I had no idea she turns into a dragon haha

@Crazyfool28 Love this model Tom, got that sinister look just right 👌

Got permission to share some old warhammer 3 DLC work :) still lots to still show haha "Elspeth Von Draken - Total War : Warhammer 3 DLC" by Tom Parker artstation.com/artwork/xD5P1X

@dekubrush Haha thanks bud 😊

@Crazyfool28 Killing it as usual man 🔥 🔥 🔥

Thread of surreal sculpture details 🧵 1. Water flowing over toes

@TangoGameworks So sorry 😔 me and my daughter have been enjoying the heck out of hi-fi rush 😔 such a shame for our industry

@digisculp @Polygoblin Sorry man, that’s awful :(

Hard new this morning. My studio is shutting down. My team was awesome and I really enjoyed the time I had with them. Unfortunately I now find myself looking for art direction, character Art/lead roles.

Really cool to see Elspeth and a few other characters I worked on finally coming out :) amazing work by the fantastic team at CA!

@Substance3D Improve your workflow by sucking all the joy and uniqueness from it!!!

Generate photorealistic textures from text prompts with the new Text to Texture feature, now available in #Substance3DSampler (beta). Improve your workflow by spending less time hunting for reference imagery, and more time bringing your creative vision to life.

Q: What are you listening to when you paint? A: Mostly to the voice in my head repeating the same: "Check the center line you $#%#@" 🧵1/4

@Podbod10k @TheCartelDel Oh cool they bought them back then, we used to have to go find them on YouTube haha

@Crazyfool28 @TheCartelDel They're not banned. Disney just uses altered versions or in one case (I think) omits an episode from their streaming platform. But that episode was available on the BBC.

Today whilst being back in 🇬🇧 to visit, I found out there's a Bluey episode that doesn't exist in the 🇺🇸, where Bandit pretends to be pregnant. After looking it up, it turns out there's ELEVEN banned episodes in the US.

Just big hugs to everyone in the industry right now, absolutely awful 😞
