How did you first start getting into drawing as a career instead of as a hobby? -Amanda Rae
I’ve been waiting to respond to this properly, SO YOU GET A COMIC.
When I sent that e-mail, I think I tripped across the event horizon into becoming a professional without realizing it.

Thought it would be fun to see how I drew David Tennant 12 years ago vs. now

There lies a thought or two the devil might be interested to know
You’re like the finish of a novel that I’ll finally have to take to bed
You fascinate me so

you all really get me
HAPPY 20TH ANNIVERSARY STEAM just wanted to share a couple of my favorites from the whole set! Can’t believe that I got to draw these on company time baybeeeee 😎
Have a whole thing I want to finish but I have to go camping in the desert for a week (very biblical of me) with no cell reception so I’ll just leave you with a tease
I’m not sure what else I can do for the apparently VORACIOUS Spies In Dresses fandom, but might I offer you the original sketches in this trying time
Extremely excited to announce these official Sirrus and Achenar prints that I did for Myst’s 30th Anniversary! MY BOYS. My heraldic boys.
(They should be available soon, though there’s a chance to win a set of the limited foil-embossed editions over on Cyan’s twitter 👀📕📘)
Don’t think I ever shared the cover art I did for Forrest Byrnes: Up In Smoke on the Playdate last year, styled to look like a USFS-sanctioned NES game—had so much fun beating the heck out of this thing to make it look like something you found in the back room of an EB Games.
“what’s posted on the internet stays there forever” is true for everything except that one piece of fanart you saw when you were 10 that changed the trajectory of your life forever. you will never find that again it is gone forever
Oh man I have a folder in Dropbox that’s just titled “Formative Art” for exactly this reason—any time I luck across some ancient art that permanently imprinted on my little middle school brain I HOARD IT into my little folders. Just in case these were particularly influential to anyone else, a couple of my heavy hitters:

So sorry if you have already been asked this question and have answered it!
But I was just wondering about the Steam 20th anniversary art:
Who was it that decided which memes you were gonna draw and which characters were drawn in said memes?
Did you pick which memes to draw yourself? Was it a case of you found different memes that you thought would look good/be funny with certain characters and presented your argument to the person in charge?
Or did someone just come into the office with a folder filled with memes, gave it to you and asked if you could draw the memes with certain characters in mind?
We started with a loose spreadsheet that outlined the memes and pop culture events that happened in each respective year, and I pulled from that (plus any additional memes I could think of) to start roughing out a plan—I wanted to 1) make sure I had a pretty good distribution across all of the Valve properties, and 2) focus on memes that are cringe but in like a sentimental way, since we’re making a lot of pretty stale references.
I cleared out most of my PureRef board, but there are still a couple dregs of unused memes in there:
I matched up most of the characters/memes myself, and then would bug the team to fill in the blanks if there were years or properties I was stuck on. I’m never gonna know as much about CS or Dota 2 as I do about Half-Life and Portal, so I didn’t want to leave them in the dust.
Other than that I just ran them by the team to make sure they all scanned at a quick glance, but beyond that no real official approval process! Super fun just getting carte blanche with this one.
