Inching my way closer and closer to finishing this piece! I'm actually pleased with how it's turning out.
Also wanted to thank @jakebenbow.bsky.social! I've been using his painterly texture maps and they work so incredibly well! It's been an absolute joy to use.

Another certified Games Industry™ moment 🙃🫠
Gutted for the team, and everyone else involved. I've spent the last 3-and-a-bit years surrounded by the funniest, friendliest, and most talented people I've ever worked with.
Here's hoping everyone lands on their feet (they should, they're amazing)

I've been fortunate enough to work alongside some great people. If you're hiring then I can't recommend them enough, they're awesome.

Been learning a bit of speedtree for a personal project I'm working up. Very out of my wheelhouse but happy with the results, might revisit them again later to make a few tweaks.
Shoutout to @artofdape.bsky.social, would recommend his excellent vegetation course to anyone starting out with trees.

Top tip for folks looking for 3D art jobs in games: have chairs in your portfolios. Doors. Fuck, have a really good bit of skirting board.
Character art is cool and sexy and eye catching, but damn, videogames need like a really large number of doors.

Still looking for more applications.
I'm noticing a lot of enthusiasm for environmental art (which is good) but not many examples (which is not good).
Will start interviews early April.
