if you own a Cintiq 27QHD DO NOT UPDATE THE DRIVERS, the new drivers (that I got from a nice notification from Wacom to update mine) are not compatible and Wacom will just put a dumbass "Think about buying a newer tablet that is supported by this driver" afterward.

We had this really cool little project for fun with a few friends a while back, and even though we didn't really spend much time on it nor go very far with it, I enjoyed working on this little character so much; bold shapes, warm & colorful palette, overall theme, pretty much my kind of stuff!

a Bit of a short notice but I'll be closing my Gumroad account in a few moments, all of the tutorials won't be accessible anymore, but hopefully, new ones will appear on my personnal site soon. Those were outdated/bad, and I want to centralise where to find everything related to my work on my site.

Had a couple of hours today, added some bricks, moss, dust and water leaks, on top of small plants, everything is pretty "lose" and I'm going try to keep it that way for the all scene.

I've been inspired by great greek painters I saw last week. So here's PBR made out of watercolor paintings. And of course, the normals were handpainted as usual. Made in a pretty modified version of UE5.
