collage of 4 of my art pieces, 2 of which are unfinished. Sorry. My face is in the middle in a circular frame. Hello, nice to meet you. Thanks for checking out my work. There's a link to my Artstation in the post too, wow!

Just moved from the UK back to the Netherlands to a temporary place. Really in big need of permanent type job, even non-gamedev related. Open to links to jobs, contacts, reposts, suggestions for what kind of non-gamedev corners to look in. Anything :)

Forgot to post an update before the break, so here are some screenshots from my high poly!
I am reserving some inner detailing for the texturing process, just to make sure I can finish the project on time. If I have extra time, I can always go back before I bake.
On to retopology. πŸ‘

unsurprisingly I think, it's pretty clear that i moved onto refining too fast, i'll go back and camera match my blockout properly.
(not, wasted as i can still reuse the panels) But i don't want to work on a bad base.
lacked motivation so i kept going at it, but i'll fix that tomorrow and start fresh

To kick off 2026, I decided to create a profile on Bluesky. As a 3D artist passionate about urban environments, I enjoy sharing photos of Tokyo and randomly talking about video games I enjoy. So follow me if that sounds interesting to you I guess.

Better late than never!

I've been slowly chipping away at updating renders and getting my #mayterials from earlier this year ready to post. I finally sat down knocked the last of it out over the holiday break.

They're up on Artstation now, let me know what you think!

thanks and definitely, i'll work on that, the scale of it is also very small so i try to take that into account too.

Played around with splatters tpday and i think the shell will need a more uniform thin layer of dust on it
