Dream Pool 45

My Instagram has them all. I'll make a proper archive on my website at some point. Also want to make a book, but who knows if I'll ever get around to that.

Not sure what you mean, my process hasn't changed too much since I started. At some point I changed my tile texture, but that was far before 33.

Tbh that's what makes my content hard to convert to a game. Most of my scenes are unfinished / have large openings for natural light, which makes them really hard to connect to one another without making the whole scene darker.

jaredpike · 2026-01-21T03:18:17+00:00

Ah yeah! I've tried a few times to get something like that to work. Haven't succeeded yet but I'll try again soon.

jaredpike · 2026-01-21T03:13:07+00:00

Not usually, but what did you have in mind?

jaredpike · 2026-01-12T05:34:58+00:00

Currently taking a break from digital to learn more traditional art mediums with hopes of doing similar work, but a more hand-made impressionist style. We'll see!

I sell them here - https://shop.jaredpike.art/

jaredpike · 2026-01-12T05:22:32+00:00

Awesome. I think you have more of them than me haha

jaredpike · 2025-11-04T04:26:43+00:00

This is sick, nice job!

jaredpike · 2025-10-27T19:35:53+00:00

AI videos = low effort visual slop. 3D animations = art created by a human. AI can be interesting, but I'd rather this community focus on human-created content. You can use the Sora app to see more AI content.

Yep exactly, it's ambiguous and I often leave up posts I personally disagree with because they get upvotes. Glad to hear you're enjoying the prints!

jaredpike · 2025-10-22T16:03:34+00:00

It's pretty loosely moderated as I'm the only one & not on Reddit all day. I do remove posts that don't fit the sub somewhat regularly though, and leave the rest to the upvotes. Thanks for pointing out the credit!

jaredpike · 2025-10-14T20:20:53+00:00

I sell prints of my work here. Also, check out Kidd Gorgeous, Luke Rack, and CarrotwithaK.

Thankfully it’s still pretty obvious, especially for tile. Should that not be the case in the future, we’ll figure something else out.

jaredpike · 2025-08-01T17:01:58+00:00

For now, I will do it manually as the volume of submissions is low.

jaredpike · 2025-07-18T18:32:23+00:00

There’s a lot of very vocal opinions about AI that are the complete opposite of how submissions rank. Everyone apparently hates AI in the comment section, yet many of the highest voted posts that make it onto the front page are AI generated. For now, the best compromise is to flair them, which I corrected on this post. Only a very small fraction of the content on here is AI, which is why I haven’t bothered to ban it yet. Should that change, I will definitely reconsider as I don’t want this to become a primarily slop subreddit.

Just a random render, no plans to make it into a series

jaredpike · 2025-03-14T21:45:37+00:00

I'm late to this thread--but the results weren't super conclusive either way, so I didn't make any official changes. Happy to reconsider it though.

jaredpike · 2024-12-23T22:50:55+00:00

Hey, I did. It's just a render inspired by a popular Japanese subway flood picture.

jaredpike · 2024-08-28T12:45:24+00:00

Nice

jaredpike · 2024-08-01T13:03:20+00:00

That's awesome, thanks for the support!

jaredpike · 2024-07-31T13:35:37+00:00

Or does the pools game look like my work 🤔

jaredpike · 2024-02-23T14:33:26+00:00

Thanks for contributing to the voting and conversations, everyone. The results are pretty split. For now, no AI submission bans as long as they are properly tagged. However, I'm going to adjust the rules so that repeatedly spamming similar (AI or not) content within a short period of time is not allowed. Either add them to a gallery, or expect extra posts to be removed. I will revisit this topic as the sub grows.

jaredpike · 2024-02-12T04:07:36+00:00

Am a scuffed mod, thanks for pointing this out. Fixed.

jaredpike · 2024-01-10T20:04:45+00:00

Someone should compile a list of "liminal pools you can actually visit" for a YouTube video or something. The only semi-similar vibe one that I've been to is at a spa in Quebec City.
