Shown is part of a sketchbook page.  The main focus in the Death Mountain Trail Guard from Zelda Ocarina of Time.  His art has been coloured in & he's wearing the Keaton fox mask.  Sidesketches are of British canal boats a crouching npc guy and wandering merchant with a big box backpack and a lantern.

It shows 2 pages of the art zine across from each other. On one page is a large shark mouth and a big ramen bowl in it.  On the other page is a Japanese yatai serving ramen to some cozy ass sharks.  We got an exterior shot with steam coming out of the stove pipe and showing off the yatai banner.  Then we get an interior shot from the customer stools behind the curtain.  An angel shark slurps ramen while a pelagic whitetip stirs a pot over the stove.

A screenshot of three 3D armored arms showing object space normals. 

On the far left, labeled Base, is an arm with smooth color gradients. 

In the middle, labeled Posterize, is the same arm with fewer colors in big bands.

 On the right, labeled Smudge, is the posterized normal map with smudges to turn it into something that looks painted.

In case anyone's interested, this is the process I'm using to generate normals for the painterly portfolio project I'm working on. This is in Substance Painter, but you could also do it in Photoshop or 3D Coat

I convert them to tangent space after the fact, but you could also do that in a shader

A drafting board for drawing lots of exactly angled specific stuff.  The drawing art on it are supposed to become dungeon maps.  But like the drafting triangle on it is 45 degrees cause all the scalene ONES ARE JUST SO LARGE

I'm having a very specific strange problem? All my scalene triangles are too large!?!

I'm prepping for an interview and double checking my recording methods (always have 2) and the urge to bring out the old tape recorder is ever present in my mind.

Discussing with my partner who has the better mind for remembering strange recipe locations, we think it maybe is on the newer updated Garum video or one of the Drinking History episodes?
