Hello Bluesky!
I'm Nathan, a 3D Environment Artist working on goofy VR games at Turbo Button. I love stylized art, DnD, and pottery! Here's a couple VR puzzlers I've helped make in recent years + two old projects. I'm in the midst of a portfolio update, so I'll share more soon!

Just finished watching Jentry Chau vs The Underworld!
It was so rich, thrilling and heartfelt. Having grown up in Dallas, TX, I was pretty tickled to see all the show’s painfully accurate depictions of a Texas suburban hellscape. Especially when that culture is clashing with the Chinese underworld

GDC lived up to the hype. For 7 years I’ve worked remotely and not had much of a physical connection to the game industry. So it was really nice meeting a bunch of super kind devs and experiencing this celebration of the work we all do!

We made it. Turbo Button is 10 years old this week! That means we're finally old enough to play VR games!

We would not be here without the amazing support of our colleagues across the VR industry and all the people who continue to play our games. THANK YOU, and don't worry: we're not done yet!

Nobody at Turbo Button could figure out how to make an AI-generated greeting card. But we heard studios like us are expected to use AI for everything now, so we commissioned some of our favorite artists to hand draw what they think those cards might have looked like.

Here's what they came up with.

Pokémon TCG Pocket has consumed my life. I’ve been determined to make a functional Dragonite deck and this one has been working pretty well for me! Wish I could add another misty but not sure what to drop.

I’m loving Pokémon TXG Pocket so much man.. I was obsessed with the original TCG on switch earlier this year, so the timing couldn’t be better. I pulled Charizard Ex and was so giddy

Hi! I make art. Often in 3d, usually for games, none of these examples is for a game though. Just for fun.
