She revisited a drawing from her childhood, which was always filled with imagination—strange plants, unusual animals, and little fantasy worlds. She imagined stepping into that world and playing music with the creatures inside it, reworking the drawing in her own style as if having a conversation with her younger self. She used **green as the main colour** to explore how different shades can coexist in one image, creating a mood that feels playful, warm, and slightly mysterious. ## 1980s New York  *Image credit: Peilin Li* This illustration captures the streets of New York in the 1980s. Peilin is drawn to the small shops along the streets—their unique storefronts, crazy posters, and neon signs glowing at night. The 1980s is a decade she's especially attracted to, with its bold fashion, wild electronic rock music, and love for neon lights. In this piece, two characters race through the streets in a pink convertible, while people on the sidewalks laugh, play, and interact. The illustration brings together the **energy, chaos, and vibrant spirit** unique to 1980s New York. ## Spring  *Image credit: Peilin Li* This illustration was created in spring and inspired by flowers blooming on Peilin's balcony. They made her slow down and notice the softer, warmer side of everyday life. She painted a scene of four women enjoying afternoon tea together, using **pink and green as the main colours** to reflect the freshness and vitality of spring. Flowers appear throughout the image, in the background, foreground, and even in the patterns on the women's clothing, so the figures blend naturally into their surroundings. This intertwining of people and nature captures small, beautiful moments from everyday life. ## Winter on the Balcony  *Image credit: Peilin Li* Winter on the Balcony was inspired by snowy winter nights. When it snows, Peilin likes staying at home alone and quietly watching the city through the window. The outside world feels distant and hushed under the snow, while indoors feels warm and intimate. She painted a girl standing on a balcony, watching the snowfall, using the warm indoor light against the darker, snowy night outside to capture a sense of **quiet, solitude, and comfort**. This illustration is about holding onto that slow, peaceful moment that winter nights often bring. ## Modern House  *Image credit: Peilin Li* This piece was inspired by Peilin's years of living with different roommates. It shows multiple moments happening at once inside a shared home—someone spending time alone, someone staying busy, all under the same roof but each moving at their own pace. The illustration is about the small, real details of shared living: the closeness from sharing a space, the occasional distance, and the warmth and unspoken understanding that form over time. By placing different rooms side by side, she captures how **quiet, chaotic, humorous, and comforting moments** can all exist together in everyday co-living life. ## Ultraman  *Image credit: Peilin Li* This piece is Peilin's attempt to reinterpret Ultraman in her own style. She drew inspiration from the visual language of Japan’s Showa era, using **pink and orange as the main colours** and incorporating silkscreen and riso-like textures to enhance the retro feel. Composition-wise, she chose an exaggerated low-angle view to give the character a stronger sense of power and drama, echoing Ultraman’s presence as a heroic figure. The image feels nostalgic while still reflecting her personal visual language. ## Chastity & Lust  *Image credit: Peilin Li* Peilin has always been drawn to relationships that feel opposing yet deeply connected, which led her to use Chastity & Lust as the theme. To her, chastity and lust aren't two completely separate extremes, but two states that exist within everyone. She chose two symmetrical female figures as the main subjects, with a mirrored composition to reflect that idea. Their different outfits represent chastity and lust, but each figure carries subtle details from the other, and their hands are intertwined to emphasise how these two forces **oppose, influence, and depend on each other**. ## Twins  *Image credit: Peilin Li* With this piece, Peilin wanted to create an illustration with a slightly unsettling feeling, inspired by the look of oil portrait paintings. Rather than showing anything clearly eerie, the image avoids specific horror elements. Instead, she focused on conveying a sense of emotional unease through the characters themselves. The two young girls are shown with subtly frightened expressions, which become the main emotional anchor. By limiting the palette to **black and white**, she removed visual distractions and invited viewers to focus on the expressions and the quiet tension beneath the surface. ## Studio Dream  *Image credit: Peilin Li* This illustration is Peilin's imagined version of an ideal studio. It’s a space set within nature, where she can create alongside friends, with two mischievous cats always nearby. She focused on moments caught in motion—a cat leaping onto the table and sending plates flying, water boiling in the background with bubbles rising and rolling. By freezing these small bursts of movement, she wanted to show a creative space that feels a little chaotic, but **full of life and energy**.

The property had a mismatched kitchen renovation, a coyote den in the yard, and an air of faded glamour. But they saw potential: the back house would become a music studio for Goldsmith, cofounder of the band Dawes, and the romantic main house was where they would raise their future family. ## The Dream Team Reunites Moore and Goldsmith reunited the same team that transformed Moore's bright and sleek midcentury home in Pasadena, featured on *Architectural Digest*'s cover in 2018. This included interior designer **Sarah Sherman Samuel** and the landscape design firm **Terremoto**. "Mandy wanted color and pattern and soft edges. Her taste is sophisticated but playful. They're both so creative. I like to say it's a very grown-up house but with a little sparkle," says Samuel. "They let us run, creatively."  Farnham's sensitive remodel featured velvety plaster walls, grand arches, an expanded kitchen, restored stenciled beams in the barrel-vaulted living room, and a new ADU with a garage that complemented the classic architecture. Samuel worked her magic on the interiors with **bold tile**, **deep color**, and plenty of her own textiles and curvilinear furniture. ## A Family Home Realized By the time they moved in in November 2023, they were parents of two toddler boys, Gus and Ozzie, with a baby on the way. The family-friendly garden and pool were in place. The designer brought in a photographer to immortalize the picture-perfect rooms for her first book, *Sarah Sherman Samuel: The Intersection of Art and Design*, with Moore writing the foreword.  For a little while, they lived the dream life they imagined. Then one evening last January, a fire reached their side of town. They evacuated with their kids, pets, and harrowing memories. While the music studio and ADU were lost, the house, miraculously, survived. The structure and hard finishes like tile and light fixtures were salvageable, but the soft goods were destroyed by smoke. ## Rising from the Ashes "We were...I don't want to cry," Moore says, pausing for composure. "But our sweet neighbor said that if anyone's house made it, he was glad it was ours, because we had been working on it for so long." Samuel and Farnham were devastated but determined. "I know basically everything in their house because I have it all cataloged," says Samuel. "Aside from Taylor's lost vintage instruments, I knew it was all replaceable."  For four months, the house sat like an ash-covered time capsule. Then slowly, they began to put the pieces back together. "Mandy told me 'I am 100 percent happy for you to buy the same things and replace them, or for you to get creative and make different choices,'" says Samuel. They found some new fabrics and rugs, and similar replacements for vintage pieces, but everything else remained the same. ## A Community's Spirit All of the clothing, textiles, and furniture were thrown away. A "surgical" remediation process involved making incisions into walls to replace duct work and the HVAC system. By September, they were back, and more connected to their cherished foothills than ever. "It was gutting to be up here before the lots were cleared and you saw the degree of the loss," Moore says. "But I think because there are pockets that are untouched, and so much rebuilding is happening in patches around town, it's clear that people still want to be here. There's an undefeatable spirit."  The work is not over. Their ADU is wrapping up construction, and they're breaking ground on the new studio. But the play structure is up, the roses are in bloom, and they're quietly cheering on neighbors as they trickle back, with shared determination to rebuild. "It's so delightful working with them," adds Farnham of her longtime clients, "But it would be nice if they had some calm years ahead. I want them to have no need for me. At least for a while."]]></description> <author>contact@designremotejobs.com (DesignRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>home</category> <category>restoration</category> <category>interior</category> <category>design</category> <category>architecture</category> <enclosure url="https://media.architecturaldigest.com/photos/6983637dd3e5a5079d9b2143/16:9/w_1280,c_limit/AD0326_MOORE_1%20copy.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Unveiling the 'Same-Face Syndrome' in Overwatch: Why Female Characters Are Losing Their Unique Identities]]></title> <link>https://www.designremotejobs.com/article/unveiling-the-same-face-syndrome-in-overwatch-why-female-characters-are-losing-their-unique-identities</link> <guid>unveiling-the-same-face-syndrome-in-overwatch-why-female-characters-are-losing-their-unique-identities</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 08 Feb 2026 19:00:27 GMT</pubDate> <description>< *Image credit: Blizzard Entertainment* Social media is full of posts saying the same thing: that Anran's face looks like a copy and paste of the existing Overwatch characters **Kiriko** and **Juno**. Many fans see her as a severe example of a trend that's been dubbed **“same-face syndrome”**. It's not the first time Overwatch has faced such charges. There have been complaints that characters like Widowmaker, Ashe, and Freja look similar in some skins. Even in the original Overwatch, some people said Brigitte looked like Mercy. With Anran, the similarities are so blatant that some fans suggest she's more like a new Kiriko skin than a character in her own right, differing only in her hair style and costume. And if she's supposed to be Wuyang's older sister, why does she look so young? ## Broader Examples in Gaming Overwatch isn't the only video game to have been accused of same-face syndrome. **Miary Zo in Tekken 8** was criticised for looking too similar to other female fighters. In both of these examples, prior art showed much more distinct-looking characters. **Concept art** for Miary Zo showed her with darker skin, thicker eyebrows, fuller lips, and wavy hair, making her look less East Asian and more Madagascan, like she was supposed to be. Similarly, 2D art of Anran in animated trailers and comics showed a much more adult-looking woman with sharper features and a longer nose. The 3D model for the game has a rounder face and Kiriko and Juno's button nose, making her look younger as well as more generic. One fan has already taken it upon themselves to show what the 3D model could have looked like if it more closely resembled previous depictions of Anran. Judging by the comments on the post, a lot of people seem to prefer this fan-made redesign with its more distinctive angular features. So what happened to Anran between the trailer and her game appearance? ## Technical and Cultural Factors **Same-face syndrome** can have technical causes. Game developers might reuse a default face mesh or rig for multiple characters. Facial rigs and expressions are expensive and time-consuming to design, while sticking to a template can ensure smooth **animation** across a large roster of characters. But if the explanation is technical, why does the phenomenon seem to affect female characters more than men? It's been suggested that there are **cultural biases** at work. Some claim that developers feel forced to align with what they see as certain beauty standards, resulting in female characters getting made 'more cute', particularly for East Asian markets. One fan describes such characters as “fetish content”. “It's because she's an Asian character. Instead of making her actually Asian they just make her have a baby face with big round eyes,” they claim. Another consideration is **art style**. A certain amount of homogeneity is to be expected as developers want a game to have a uniform aesthetic. The Overwatch look is very stylised. All characters have clean, smooth skin and shapes, and some fans argue that you can find similarities between any of them if you look for them. A very different character design might feel jarring and out of place in the Overwatch universe. However, there's a line between achieving a consistent art style and resorting to carbon-copy characters. ## The Impact on Player Engagement **Visual design** is a crucial part of games, and the distinctiveness of characters is a factor that keeps players interested. When characters all start to look the same, it can appear like developers are running out of ideas and imagination. Anran's abilities alone may not be enough to make players value her as an addition to the game.]]></description> <author>contact@designremotejobs.com (DesignRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>characterdesign</category> <category>overwatch</category> <category>gaming</category> <category>designtrends</category> <category>animation</category> <enclosure url="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/fbJ7BfWsQDwvJtN4ZkUBEU-2560-80.webp" length="0" type="image/webp"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[From UX Designer to NYC's Ice-Breaking Hero: How One Man Turned a Snowstorm into a Lucrative Gig]]></title> <link>https://www.designremotejobs.com/article/from-ux-designer-to-nycs-ice-breaking-hero-how-one-man-turned-a-snowstorm-into-a-lucrative-gig</link> <guid>from-ux-designer-to-nycs-ice-breaking-hero-how-one-man-turned-a-snowstorm-into-a-lucrative-gig</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 05 Feb 2026 19:00:28 GMT</pubDate> <description><. *This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.* **How did you become a dig-out guy?** My background is in **user experience design**. The downturn in the tech industry over the past 12 months has made job hunting incredibly tough. In December, I signed up for emergency snow removal with the Department of Sanitation, ready to shovel snow, but they never called. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands. Then, I saw a post on Reddit last week offering a snow-shoveling gig, and it sparked the idea to start my own service. ]]></description> <author>contact@designremotejobs.com (DesignRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>career</category> <category>sidehustle</category> <category>uxdesign</category> <category>snowstorm</category> <category>adaptability</category> <enclosure url="https://pyxis.nymag.com/v1/imgs/fe8/4d1/c4e47216f561a5f1095892fc990d2851d9-IMG-8143.1x.rsocial.w1200.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> </channel> </rss>
