Hi bluesky! I'm Victor a.k.a Don Veech, a 3D generalist/game artist. I enjoy modelling, animating, drawing, game dev, videogames and building cosplay stuff in my free time. Everyone is welcome 🌈
A skeleton with chibi proportions in front of a cauldron filled with bubbling green liquid against a medieval stone wall with 3 windows, the first 2 windows are lit by lightning against night sky and the right window is lit by the moon overshadowed by bat silhouettes. A bulborb from Pikmin stampeding a variety of red, yellow and blue pikmin in a garden modelled to look like clay. Several pikmin are running in panic, whiles other dive or look for cover. There are pikmin capsule flowers all around. A flat style low-poly Samus from Metroid against a purple grid backdrop. She is holding her arm cannon up with a hand resting on her hip. A beach themed outdoor restaurant at seaside. On the beach there are starfish and exotic plants, in the water there are rocks and a shark fin sticking out from the water. In the restaurant there are palm tree tabletops with large coconut shaped stools. Each table has a primary color to set them apart from eachother.

Valve has said the reasoning behind this is consoles make up for hardware sales with software sales (as if Steam wasn't the most popular gaming storefront on the planet but I guess Gabe needs his yachts 🤷‍♂️)

Steam Machine price will not be subsidized and 'more in line with what you might expect from current PC market', says Valve

My interactive tween guide for Godot is out !

If you have trouble using tweens, adding "Juice" or picking the right transition, it should hopefully help!

The guide is free and will always be 🩵

Wish I had the programming chops to do something more with this, I love this art style so much 😭😭

Another practice sculpt to familiarize myself more with high-poly workflows, might retopologize this one for the sake of practice but I also don't want to 😭

I rarely do anything remotely High Poly, so I thought I'd do a practice sculpt and this is probably the furthest I've ever gone with anything high poly 🙈 there's plenty of room for improvement, but I'm happy with how it turned out 😬

At times like these, gotta hand it to (Iwata's) Nintendo, they knew the pursuit of graphical fidelity did nothing but prolong dev cycles and make the cycle itself more complicated than it needed to be, Sony should just do more small games like Astro bot, we've got enough triple A walking simulators.

Sony tech wizard Mark Cerny has teased new graphics features he's excited to bring to "a future console in a few years time," sparking a wave of PS6 release date speculation in the process. https://bit.ly/3KFH3CQ

❌Proper tiling and masking for the UI sprites

✔️Convoluted ass optical illusion using a 3D camera

(Trust me, this is somehow way easier than all the other options I've tried, and more optimized too)

Often when our list of Adobe alternatives is shared people comment that it's okay to pirate Adobe software. It's not, because that still supports Adobe through usage and staying in their ecosystem. Instead, do look into alternatives!

I don't normally do this, but yesterday was one those "lightning in a bottle" moments where I had an idea for a character and was able to flesh it out from start to finish(?). 😬 I'll post a short thread of how I took it from concept to model. Let's go!

Indie devs are usually ridiculously open and approachable, they just want to talk about their game with someone

if journalists want more interesting conversations with devs, talk to indies more and AAA corporate structures less imo

Drawing in MS paint has a strange flow to it, but it's so straight forward it's hard to get distracted with fine details, great for putting out ideas fast! Here's a ninja-type character I've had on my mind 🥷

Rose had been missing her scarf from early concepts since I wasn't sure how to approach it in-game, but I think I've figured it out 😬 What do y'all think?

This and Open Source communities are proof that creatives will give you their very best when their most basic needs are met (money = food, shelter, utilities paid for, allowing more to spend with friends and family etc.)
Go figure 🤷‍♂️
