Getting back to writing blog posts! ✏️

It’s old content, a 4y.o twitter thread, lost when I fled the old place. I decided to bring it back to you.

Maybe you recall it? It was about stairs 🛕

Please signal boost, it's for a good cause! 🙏

Hey folks - I'm working with an MS (multiple sclerosis) charity to find streamers to support fundraising in November. It's retro gaming themed, so if you're interested in more info - or you know someone who would be amazing - please chuck me a reply 💚

Trying to build up more confidence with 3D modelling and environmental design.

Axyz was made somewhat in mind to hide a lot of my shortcomings, so I'm trying to push myself this time.

The biggest struggle I'm finding is keeping things to the right scale!

Looking through some of my old character design work I did in college.

They were meant to be character classes in a fictional RPG.

Some illustration work for a thing. Lots of fun working on this. Must do more Isometric stuff.

#Illustration #Isometric

A page of isometric illustrations of various buildings and vehicles. There's an observatory, a spaceport, a market place. There are also some environmental elements - rock and crystal formations.
