Hi hello #portfolioDay! Im Sarah, a snr concept artist in games, indi Dev, freelance #cartographer & #TTRPG designer from Scotland. I love being an artist and over the last 15 years I’ve worked on projects like #DeathsDoor, #SpyroReignited, Possessor(s), Campaign Builder: Cities & Towns & more!

A shipwreck on a mountain top, with a Japanese-style noodle bar inside.

Secret area of deaths door. a ruined templed inside a cave covered in snow.

Exterior and interior concepts for an old rundown bar with stained glass. Inside is a smokie dive with lots of plants and hanging cages for different creatures.

Flooded street with a character skating over the water, ruined buildings and tech to either side of the street. Large trees grow through old buildings.

I think about how some managers and leaders, instead of being happy for a person on their team to have achieved prestigious highs, instead be bitter and insecure, gaslighting instead of trusting and listening to them to do better quality work. Pretending to be supportive after gaslighting, even.

So far TODAY Israel has:

- bombed Gaza City
- bombed Khan Younis
- shot and killed five Palestinians in Gaza City
- refused to open the Rafah border crossing
- announced they would once more block aid

This is what a "ceasefire" with Israel looks like. This is what it has always looked like.

If you have ADHD? Now is a great time to remove all of your old drink containers from last week off of your desk.

My personal PC desk with (counting) 19 cans of Dr Pepper or cherry Coke Zero (pictured, there's really 20) and one 16oz empty bottle of cherry coke.

There are nearly 3,000 demos in the Steam Next Fest, and with so many new games coming out getting lost in the flood is a real problem, especially for indie games

So here's your reminder, that if you play something cool, speak up and share it! Word of mouth is so damn important! 🥰

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

When you work for entertainment there's often 2 types of movies you watch - one for the visuals only and one for the movie as a whole 😂

people complaining about bosses on hard and not wanting to lower difficulty to proceed is a problem of their own making.
