Hey! I’m sorry if things are tough right now. Seems that way for a lot of very kind and hardworking people. Please don’t forget that you are loved, and that the one constant of life is change 💛✨

I'm wearing a red skirt, a black and white striped shirt, a red sweater, a black crystal necklace, skull earrings, and Pirates Themed Disney ear band. Another selfie from a closer angle without the ears. My skull earrings are a little bit more visible.

”That’s a pretty big question asked in a pretty small way.”

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…
A screenshot of a Facebook post where a person named Andy ask the Well now “What the hell is transgender?” The Royal Canadian Air Force account response with “That’s a pretty big question asked in a pretty small way, Andy. ‘Transgender’ putting describes someone whose gender – who they know themselves to be – doesn’t match the sex they were assigned at birth. It’s not new, and it’s certainly not a fad. People have lived this experience for as long as people have existed; we’re just finally talking about it openly. You don’t have to fully understand it right away, most learning takes time, but we can always start from a place of respect. That’s how decent folks handle things they’re still getting used to.”

I'm trying not to panic, but every day I get closer to running out of money. I've not been able to find any real 3D art job prospects in so long. After breaking into the industry and shipping a couple games with directorial credit, I didn't think everything was going to get so depressing again.. :c

Designing the hands for the classes of Rogue Ascent, a VR hand-tracking game was challenging but super rewarding!🖐️

I wanted each set to have distinct personality as this would be the primary visual communication of the character to the player.🎨

Sharing this again since I've got fair bit more mutuals on here now. This was easily one of my favorite work assignments ever.

The Black Marlin was easily one of the most fun assets I had the privilege of designing for Rogue Ascent VR. Part pirate ship, part Jules Verne inspired spaceship, this is the home of the infamous kraken-hunting Marauder!

In case you'd like to do it yourself, here's the node setup for object-stable screenspace UVs I'm using

The original is by @jankaluza.bsky.social, and I've changed it to add a fixed radius and set it up as a Material Function on my end

Should work in any version of Unreal 4/5

More of the weapons I designed for Rogue Ascent VR! This time we've got the Pulse Rifle, Neutrino Sling, Chemical Syringe, and the Autoinjektor. I had so much fun designing these - SciFi guns really are the best. 😊

#IndieGame #GameArt #3DArt #WeaponArt #Stylized #SciFi #RougeAscent #RogueAscentVR
The Pulse Rifle: A highly technical weapon system capable of firing dangerously effective pulses of energy. Neutrino Sling: Part Metroid hand cannon, part Portal Gun, and part Gravity Gun. This weapon features a variety of attachments from barrel modifiers to larger capacitors allowing for longer consecutive fire. Chemical Syringe: Starting weapon for the Medic class, this medical device has been modified to poison enemies and provide "health steal" where damage taken from enemies provides the player with small amounts of health in return. Features a wide set of attachment upgrades: optics, barrel mods, and greater capacity chemical vials. Autoinjektor: The chemical syringes older sibbling - this rifle is capable of the same health-stealing poison effects but with superior range and effectiveness. Features upgradable chemical canisters. You won't find this one at your doctors office (hopefully).

Been working to get the last bits of work from my prev. job creating and directing art for Rogue Ascent VR. I'm making these stylized images to show off each themed weapon with their corresponding attachments.

#IndieGame #GameArt #3DArt #WeaponArt #Stylized #SciFi #RougeAscent #RogueAscentVR
Image showing off the "Energy Phaser" from Rogue Ascent VR - the weapon is a small handheld phaser pistol with a striking red and white color scheme. There are three magazine upgrade tiers that look like a cross between a traditional mag and a swappable battery comparable to what you find on power tools. Image showing off the "Combat Shotgun" from Rogue Ascent VR. It follows the same red and white color scheme as the Energy Phaser. Ammo capacity is dictated by light indications along the side of the gun which increase as capacity is expanded. There are also a series of attachments such as optics and barrels. The shotgun has a retro futuristic style with a lot of emphasis on the angles and overall form. This image displays the "Panthocean Defender" a triple-barrel pistol from Rogue Ascent VR. It features a blue color scheme and has an aquatic feeling theme that matches the alien origin of the Intel Officer class who starts with this pistol. It features a pattern on the grip that resembles bubbles and tentacle suction cups and greenish-blue luminescent accents. There are a serious of magazine upgrades, the largest being a drum mag that has emissive details making it resemble some sort of under water propellor. The design in inspired by the "SPP-1 Underwater Pistol" originating from the Soviet Union in 1975. This image depicts the "Panthocean Rifle" which matches the styling and color scheme of the Panthocean Defender. The core design is a stylized modification of the FAMAS made to look aquatic and Sci-Fi. There are some additional details that loosely resemble the bioluminescent details found on the Intel Officer's hands which are a three-finger fin hybrid.
