I loved playing The Drifter, but this was unforgivable.

A Blender render of a half-eaten burger beside a spilled milkshake against a blue background. The burger contains lettuce, tomato, cheese, and a meat patty. The spilled milkshake is artificial strawberry pink. It's textured using bright colours and dithered pixel gradients. It's scruffy, but visually pleasing!

i put off UVing and texturing this forEVER because i totally borked my topo doing some reckless chomp booleans

but i fixed it, and spent the last two and half hours throwing some dithers around in Aseprite by way of texturing

is it scrappy? yes. am i unreeeeasonably proud of it? ALSO yes ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿง‹

Staff Artist at Chaosium Inc.

My job is to bring worlds to life. I like to illustrate subtle stories of the mundane, not just the stories of the heroes. And the heroes are not perfect either. My view is not focused in the middle of the scene. Itโ€™s a little bit off*.

โ€จI am where I want to be.

Ross Stewart's concepts for Paranorman are the perfect blend of real world authenticity and exaggerated wonkiness.

'Mr Carver's 20 year campaign of emotional abuse has taken an unimaginable toll on Autodesk Maya's confidence & at times caused the 3d modelling application to crash due to the psychological damage that would be inflicted upon it during Mr Carver's foul-mouthed tirades.'

Night of the Hunter (1955) is full of memorably dreamlike and theatrical compositions:
