Continuing with this scene slowly! Getting all the foreground sculpts done first, then onto background assets 😄

Calling this asset done for a first pass!

Got the workflow down for the following assets, and shaders are all set up so I should fly through the rest a little easier, especially as I'm getting used to Blender more on this project 😄

Haven't been active for a while so hoping to change that with this project!

I've finished sculpting my benchmark asset, moving onto LP and texturing with masks now 😄

Last year I had the opportunity to work on some props for Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3! Working on these was an absolute blast, and I'm super proud of them and the team.

I've been working on a model of Senna's gun from League of Legends, and got some test textures into engine!

Looking forward to doing all the VFX and shader magic on this one.

Recently bought an iPad to get into 2D art, and have been sketching people for a bit. Tried some painting today, pretty happy with my first attempt!

Lots to improve still but really enjoying procreate. #art

At the beginning of 2024 I told myself I'd finish 3 personal projects this year, and not cancel any WIP pieces. That went out the window 😂

If you are an artist, please - and I can't stress this enough - go watch Arcane.

It is pure art through and through. The craftsmanship and passion that went into it is visible in every frame. Just, wow.

Man I really need to revisit making an icy environment, got some really nice progress multiple times and just abandoned the projects 😅

One day maybe...

I've been teaching myself Blender to leave the grasp of Autodesk, by modelling Senna's gun from League!

G for grab aside ... it's not going too bad 😄

Starter packs seem to have helped many find part of there audience but there scattered to the winds so making a thread of them, you find them add them be they art, dev any kind of creative outlet and see if we get more people with there audiences and find new ones.

Ever heard about masks to tile in your masks? I call them variation masks and did a lil breakdown for how to make them work in #unreal! Helps keep those masks super low res!

not sure what the algorithm is like here, are hashtages necessary? 😄 #gameart #gamedev
