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

I feel you. The worst. I've started to accept that sometimes I will go through years of just 'existing' and I need to be alright with being 'unproductive'. But it's hard.

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

I mostly use the Projection feature, and also I use it for retopping sometimes :)

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!

I've been working onto this for so long it does feel like I have been 'going to the fountain' at this point when (if) I work on it!

Look at the high poly expedition helicopter I made for Jurassic World Evolution. I was tasked with all stages with designing, concepting, modelling, texturing and getting it game ready.

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

Replying to emails makes me feel like I'm achieving things but then the absolute lunatics all reply back and suddenly I am back to square 1 again, send help ๐Ÿ˜

Absolutely!!! I think if I did something like this even just once a week it would be a very good exercise to get those art muscles flexing!

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
