✨ Happy #PortfolioDay! ✨

I'm Leah and I make hair for games! I've spent a chunk of this year digging into more character stuff so I might actually manage to update my portfolio by December!

Doing the base layer on Millenia's hair

it looks pretty intimidating until you realize it's basically three huge ponytails woven with an amount of hair worth of Hatsune Miku

Doing some renders with the metahuman lighting and it makes me feel like I've actually done a decent job with this character

I think I'm done with adding layers of hair 🙌 Next, I need to export it in Unreal and hope not to break too many things

Here’s my breakdown of EA’s pending sale… to Saudi Arabia… and why this is much, much bigger than video games. I’m late to this from a ‘news’ perspective obviously, but it’s because I worked on this video for about a month.

I probably shouldn't post this

The disconnected Apple Pencil? The expression sheet with all the same expression? The art with the footsteps in the snow in front of the characters running? The file with one (1) background layer? Erasing the “hand drawn” background by hand on said one (1) layer file? Where do I starttttttt

Getting closer and closer with this project but there's still a bunch of little things to fix and then I really want to get some videos rendered out - will I get it done before the end of the year? 👀

Pushed the contrast on the face textures tonight and dialled down the SSS... now wondering if I need to pull it back a bit?

Made a rough back drop this weekend that does enough to make my character look like she's in an actual world

Anyone pushing one true correct way to do the job has not been in enough studios or on enough projects. You use the tools that do the job and tasks assigned and more than likely just the personal preference of who ever is making tools at the time
was using Maya and 3ds max at the same time last game
Saw a LinkedIn post polarizing Maya+Substance as the "Industry Standard".

There is no Standard
We do not have an Industry anymore.

Halloween archery means shooting fun sized bags of sweets. Most motivated I've been in a while 😂
