Hej #portfolioday!👋
I'm a freelancing artist with a biology degree working in games.
I do #paleoart, #gameart, #conceptart, and I specialize in creature design.

My stylized illustration is shown below while you can contact me & see more of my work here: twarda-arts.carrd.co

Thanks for looking!

Here's a funny gift for @domesticus.bsky.social :)

A happy cartoony dinosaur Microraptor is jumping, his mailman cap being above his head. "Parcel the Microraptor" is written as the tittle, and "for Vincent" (the recipent) is below.

The night version of the recently finished screen (background) for #ZidJourney Hopefully, some further animation to the braided/beaded blind will be added later.

A big stone-made building is shown at night, illuminated by moonlight.

Plesiosaurs 👌
There are 3 variants of this popup window in the game. Two of them will likely be dependent on the player's choice, hehe

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

Holy heck! You know this game!

This sounds like they aim to become the porn monopoly too, sheesh

I'm a Pole, and let me tell you that my Polish tongue is armed with cynism, irony, and sarcasm; as such it's getting harder to apply my cultural norms to the western norms when seeing what's happening around the world and in the industry.

I bite my tongue way more often than I should, perhaps...

Shitpos sketch:

A crude black and white sketch in which a pipe is pouring poopy water into a stream, polluting the stream. Some bones are sinking in it now. The pipe is labelled AI slop. The stream is labelled Internet.

Cancelled mine after hearing the first AI accusations. Seeing this, I'm very glad I did so.

I own my CDs and casettes and I still can play them, heck even my decades old YT playlist is still working. I don't need their stupid algo, adverts, and AI interrupting my listening.
