Doing a few environment blockouts in #ue5 for my #indiegame project and experimenting with the UltraDynamicSky plugin. It's all coming together! Mixing unfiltered textures with realistic lighting seems to work great!

Finished up the farm windmill for my current #indiegame project! Continuing in the same same retro unfiltered #pixelart texture style as my previous assets for the project ๐Ÿƒ

WIP - Have slowly but surely been grinding away at this semi-stylized M4 model! Trying to go through and finish this and a few of my other backburner projects over the next few months.

Slight texture variation on my jersey barriers - will primarily be adding decals in Unreal to add character to these but having a ready made striped variant will make things a bit easier.

Working on a set of Jersey Barriers with unfiltered #pixelart textures for my #indiegame project. Something really satisfying about making simple assets like this ๐Ÿ˜„

Quick still render! - seems like video compression is muddying this one up a bit

So, an idea I've been throwing around for years is attempting to make all the Link to the Past inventory items in stylized 3D as a daily or weekly self challenge. Maybe its time... ๐Ÿค”

Okay! So *knocks on wood* after swapping out hardware and seriously considering throwing it out a window a few times... I *think* my new build PC is finally ready to make art ๐Ÿฅณ Here is a WIP of a semi-stylized AR I've been slowly working on with my laptop ๐Ÿคฃ

Since the video compression is a bit excessive on this for some reason... here's a still!

Got my low poly shipping crates into #unrealengine. Used some of my old procreate doodles to make graffiti decals. love how they ended up looking with the unfiltered #pixelart style textures!

WIP - Been a 3D artist a long time nowโ€ฆ Iโ€™ve surprisingly never modeled any kind of AR pattern rifleโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ”ซ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜… Still blocking things out mostly! Gonna more than likely make it semi-stylized in texture and proportion.

Back at it in 2025 ๐Ÿฅณ Put together this low poly #pixelart texture shipping container to kick things off! My goal this year is to start posting a few things a week again.

A digital illustration, a low angle showing Link and Zelda facing away. Link has his hands on his hips, Zelda is tilting her head looking at a map. In the background is Peachโ€™s Castle, from the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario, in his boxers, is jumping angrily from the castleโ€™s bridge toward Link and Zelda. Peach is on the castle balcony looking shocked with her hand over her mouth.
