On that note, let's also *dive* in another favorite subject of mine:

Here's another behind-the-scenes 🧡 on the tech-art behind our water visuals in HERDLING:

Unfortunately I've been affected by the Xbox layoffs as well as numerous of my talented colleagues. I'm sad our hard work on Perfect Dark may be lost in the dark.

I'm in the market for senior concept artist, lead concept artist and Art Director roles!

I’m sorry you’re having to go through that, and I hope something develops soon. It’s been so tough to watch so many talented artists and developers lose their livelihood through no fault of their own.

Astronauts approach a rocky landscape and a body of water on an alien location, a red moon and rocky pillar dominate the horizon. Rain pours from the sky, and fog steams up from the water's surface. We see their ship and a figure in the distance.

A close up of two astronauts, one near the camera and in focus, the other in the background and out of focus. The closer astronaut is illuminated by the lights of her suit and the red glow of the moon; the distant astronaut removes his helmet and examines it thoughtfully. Rain pours down, drenching them both.

Today was a tough day at PSVA. Myself a good amount of others were told we were being let go. It's sad for a lot of things, but mostly it's sad because he have to leave a team of such amazing people. If anyone is looking for Material or Environment art roles, preferably Senior, let me know!

I think it’s an extension of Cafe Flora on Madison over by the arboretum, if you’re looking for it in town!

I felt a version of this in Dishonored with Dark Vision - it felt too useful to not use, but using it threw all the beauty and care of the world detail out the window :(
