Following in the wake of the 'Roller Stamp' I designed recently, comes my take on the Inkwell and Quill. Featuring a button activated inkwell with ink application, a rolling quill tip and a sealed bottle of orange ink. #b3d #substancepainter #gamedev #gameart #indiedev
A collected render of my take on an inkwell, quill and an ink pot. They're constructed from wood which is painted in varying shades of red and greenish blue. Trimmed in a golden metal and featuring elements of clay, namely the two rollers. The text reads "Inkwell & Quill". A render of the quill and a close up of its paint splattered roller as well as two different perspectives of the inkwell, one from the rear and the other from front/side. A collection of close ups that highlight details of the inkwell. The siphon area that features a pointed tip to pierce the seal of the ink pots and openings to draw the ink into the internal reservoir. The paint splattered roller that is used to bring the ink up and apply it to the quill as its held against the spinning surface, ensuring the quill tip spins and is given an even coat. A small piece of stylised text and the button that activates the rotating function. A isolated look at both the quill stand and the orange ink point. It's opening sealed by a piece of parchment that is adhered to the side of the pot. To use the ink, the pot is turned upside down and placed into the opening on the inkwell. It's seal is punctured and the ink will flow through small openings in the siphon.

Just moved from the UK back to the Netherlands to a temporary place. Really in big need of permanent type job, even non-gamedev related. Open to links to jobs, contacts, reposts, suggestions for what kind of non-gamedev corners to look in. Anything :)

Inventory case details.

#GameDev #Texturing
Shorn of extraneous surface features but the spartan lettering in majuscule of its maker — EXCAM — a blast-resistant inventory case. It resembles more a metal ingot than an item of holding. Two locking fasteners that are then barred through by titanium rods enclose the case but here are partially raised. Wrapped around one side is a black harness strap. The obverse removed reveals an interior of many details — a padded mid-level tray and angular graphics, an alphanumeric of the model itself and text labeling the product "MIL.GRADE". With the tray removed, the base of the interior is revealed to have a triangular pattern inlay, a right-angled triangle composed of other right-angled triangles being cleaved by another such form. Opposite the designation — "x0L". The underside of the tray revealing the gradients of a more lustrous metal and beveled cavities for weight-reduction now rimmed with dust and grime.

Since it's a new year and new projects may be getting started/funded, I wanted to post again that my partner @barndone.bsky.social is still looking for work!

Looking for Jr/Entry level programming work. Has experience in Gameplay, UI, AI, and is also interested in shaders/tech art.

Thanks! ❤️

More visdev for my gamedev project! Figuring out shape language and colors for the city's buildings.

This city is powered by magic, so I needed some magical elements to indicate we're not on earth and help the buildings fit cohesively together.

Will eventually use as inspiration for pixel #art.
A lineup of 5 buildings of various colors, made of brick and other materials. Glowing lines and floating elements indicate magic is present here. The buildings are inspired by 1880s-1910s architecture.

Current WIP of Samus! I think I'm close to the end of the sculpting. The big focus is the hair and her shoes before I start details and then retopo.

I'm not internally screaming or anything 😅

Love this project, but sculpting has been a long road.

#Portfolioday has come back again, figured I'd just quote the old post.
I'm still looking for Remote positions in Environment Art, Full-Time, Part-Time or Contract
I've been working on a small personal piece based on @deswalsh.bsky.social 's reference photos of Turville St but it's not done yet
A 3D rendering of a corner building based on an actual building on Turville Street, London but more stylized. The lower floor is covered in dark green glazed tiles with a very shiny surface. Large windows would open into a shop space but are black and reflective. Dark grey tiles line the intersection between the building and the street and plaster moldings separate the upper and lower floors. At the corner the building has a rounded profile with the windows following that same curve. The upper floor has red-tan bricks with thick mortar between them and banks for windows in sets of two, a rectangular window on the bottom and a window with a semi-circular shaped topper on the top of the wall. The building is asymmetrical one side is longer than the other. The street has cobblestones running down one side until it meets the main road where it blends into asphalt. The sidewalk has pale rectangular concrete shapes lining the street edge and thick dark grey tiles lining the actual street. An accessibility ramp allows access from the sidewalk into the street. Metal poles are positioned at regular intervals along the sidewalk to protect civilians from cars. A chimney can be seen peeking out above the top edge of the building.
