Making a thread to contain my old Skyrim art. I basically never posted any of this stuff. Prob re-post my previous Falmer stuff in here eventually to have it all in one place. #gamedev #3dart #portfolio
Here’s the whole iron weapon set, based on concepts by the great Adam Adamowicz.

The Orphan Crusher is here to stay. If we don’t feed more Orphans to the Crusher the Orphan Crushing industry will die. It’s time to wake up to the reality of the Orphan Crusher. The Orphan Crusher is worth billions. We need to teach people to use the Orphan Crusher. It’s here to stay.
Every artist knows that the ideal workflow starts with trying to clean-up a stolen design translated to look like a melted plastic potato. We definitely don’t have extremely specific needs based on hand grip, animation, first person FOV, etc to consider. This definitely saves time and is very smart.
Guilla-monster is very hungry
All jokes aside, birth/labor is an astonishing and terrifying process. We ended up having a vastly different labor with our daughter than we had with our son each with unique challenges. I thought we were going to meet her Monday(due date) or Tuesday at the latest. She was born Friday. lol. Lmao.
This is a joke of course. I am extremely involved in this birth as I was in the birth of our son and am doing everything I can to support her emotionally and physically. Later we will have the doula and midwives to get us through the climax.

Meanwhile I get no support. A gamer’s agony.
My wife is in labor, but I am stuck in Bilewater doing the horrible run back to fight Groal the Great, so who can say which of us is suffering more?
Making up a guy… to love
I have learned that by context switching hundreds of times a day I can maintain the feeling of extreme business and stress while accomplishing nothing. I am red-lining my engine in the garage, melting my GPU. This will certainly start generating a profit soon and no one should be alarmed.
I don’t know if anyone else ever runs into this, but I was able to locally backup my tools/projects/zstartup in the files app and then wipe/reinstall Zbrush.

Could not figure out how to preserve my settings, but at least I no longer feel like my files are in limbo until I reformat my iPad.

Zeal and Ardor is so fucking good
Since updating to iPadOS 26 Zbrush once again refuses to open or make any new files. It worked fine during the beta. Last time this happened I had to manually backup all my work and wipe the whole iPad. This shit sucks.
Searching is so terrible these days I don’t know if anyone else has this issue.
TLT is the best! I made a sculpt earlier this year of Harrow wearing a necromantic exoskeleton to be able to wield The Sword.
Opponents despondent. Tearfully searching for the right classified tank schematic to leak that will give them the edge.
There’s nothing wrong with porn. I don’t know what you think you heard but porn is structurally sound. We did not fake any crash test data surrounding porn and it is very safe. The engine will not fall out and the seatbelts work and every case of drowning in lubricant has been ruled user error.
