Back to this one from my emergency vet bill coms.
She's actually pretty close to being done, most of the work left is in detail. I'm hoping to finish her before I head home so I'll have two models ready to be rigged and two that still need modeling.

a screenshot of a low poly character. The character is a girl with long green hair and short spiky bangs, blue eyes, magenta pants with a light magenta bow in front as a belt tie. A sky blue robe like top that crosses over the front of the torso.

More map demos! Originally, you were going to have a sequence of battles on & inside the boat after it took off, but that design got scrapped D: However, it's still a defining tactical element for this map. #srpg #tacticsrpg #lowpoly #indiedev #madewithunity

Vertical levels have played awesome so far with all the different movement options in the game. This one becomes a madhouse once enough casters are in the mix. XD #srpg #tacticsrpg #lowpoly #madewithunity #indiedev

Recently I added a little debug camera animation for testing map angles & culling. It also happens to be perfect for showing off battle stages! Here's a recent addition, I had a ton of fun making this one. #srpg #tacticsrpg #lowpoly #indiedev #madewithunity

I saw #IronLung last Friday. No spoilers, it was very enjoyable. Going in with very little Markiplier viewings under by belt and zero knowledge of the game, I was fully immersed into the movie. It follows both indie horror and trad horror notes you'd see in all of the classics. Would recommend.

Our first #lowpoly from my cats emergency fundraiser is done!
Well technically he needs to be revived, a rig, and to be posed still, but he's basically done!

Thanks @somedumbtank.newgrounds.com for the comm!

progress has been slow, drawing organic looking wrinkles in the clothing pixel by pixel might be my undoing. Defining the shape is one thing, making it look right is another "orz

Thanks all who joined and hung out!
We're nearly finished with this clients robot!

#art #lowpoly #pixelart
A work in progress render of a robot. The robot is made of of both light and dark blue sections. The dark blue make up the shoulders, torso, pelvis, feet, and shin and knee guards. The light blue makes up the head, arms, legs, and "wings" The long objects coming out of his back. The hands are flat blue showing they lack a texture map.

A joke for portfolio day. Surrounded by 8 squares that say NDA or Non-Disclosure Agreement is a Male with glasses, long hair, a beard, and a santa hat with gag moose horns on it, holding a large orange long haired cat.
