Two stunning winners ✨🥇

I’ve been making game dev videos on stylized art for a few months now. If you fancy watching some, head to the link below. Any help through subscribing, likes, views is much appreciated! #indiegamedev #art

youtube.com/@petedimitrov

Thank you!

A screenshot of a list of YouTube videos. They have various thumbnails featuring a stylised art tower. It’s full of crystals and magical glow. The tower is made out of stone while the background is blue. On some of the thumbnails, there is a person (that’s me). Titles read and mention things like “Start of a 3D Diorama”, “Blender and UE5 Techniques”, “Hand Painted Textures, VFX and Retopology”, “World of Warcraft style art” and more.

Super excited to announce I'm once again a mentor for Limit Break this year! Had so much fun last year both as a mentor and mentee, and want to once again give back as much as I can this time around❤️

Looking for a chaos gremlin with 4+ years of stylised environment art experience? Maybe I can help✨
