Sculpted, unwrapped, baked.

The finish line is in sight. This project will soon be available for download on Gumroad. Just gotta sculpt this statue and make a few final touches. #UE5

Blockout finished. Time to finish it off with a bit of sculpting! I always take my blockouts as far as I can in Blender and only do the fial touch ups in Zbrush.

Statue work continues in Blender before I will take it to Zbrush to finalise. #blender #gamedev #environmentart #3d #UE5

Character artists avert your eyes. Haven't made anything remotely close to a character in 10 years! Yikes! Having fun though!

One of my favourite things about 3D Coat is the Projection feature. I can take a screenshot of my mesh in 3D, and then overpaint it with my brushes in Photoshop and reproject it to my model. It's an awesome way of handpainting a complex unwrap with awkward seams. Highly recommend!

Final albedo touchups in 3D Coat. I really love this program.

Is making tiny adorable plants the best part of being an environment artist? Possibly.

Hello friends! I wanted to share this 9 year old project I re-discovered. I thought this breakdown I did might be interesting to those making their own portfolio breakdowns to this day. I'm having a really fun time looking through old work. #gamedev

An ode to my experimental Photoshop colour vomit days. Low expectations, loads of fun. Now-a-days I'm much more self critical and miss relaxing into making stuff like this. I really struggle to share work. #gamedev #conceptart #illustration

While I am here, just thought I would show a bit of my latest WIP project in UE5, Zbrush, Blender, and Photoshop. Almost finished. Will keep sharing more, and I would like to share some tips and tricks for how I make my 3D environments in the future. Anything you would like to know?

Hi BSky! I'm Anya, a freelance 2D/3D environment game artist based in the UK. I have been quiet as I am travelling and getting inspired this year! I've seen a bit of Morocco, Spain, Portugal, France, Holland, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Liechtenstein, and Italy, in my van. New art soon?
