The Silent Hill 2 remake was a big deal for me. I was so excited, I did the bulk of this fanart in the days before it released. I just finished up the hand lettering today and wanted to share!

(Do we use tags on this site?? #silenthill2 #fanart)

fanart from silent hill 2 featuring maria and mary. maria is upright and mary is upside down. maria has text that says "mary?" next to her head. mary has text that says "maria?" next to her head.

It's not Saturday, but I'm trying. Here's a little "beauty lighting" I've been experimenting with on the terminal. A nice little bloom there giving it a bit of nostalgic glow.

Btw, this is the first screenshot since I switched to Forward+!

@eternalskiestcg.bsky.social Just want to thank you for all the work you put in on making great feeds. I look at your feeds more than anything else on Bluesky!

I forgot that you can see the current game time in the top left of the screenshot even!

This week I made a time manager! It's cool for coding reasons, but it also inspired me to add some details to the input decks. The screens, bars, & locks will all animate in conjunction with the larger system!

These decks are inspired by AV equipment racks!

A screenshot of Project Data Mind from in Unreal Engine. It shows a mockup level with a placeholder gray grid material on all the 3D objects. In the foreground is a cabinet of input decks on a shelf against the wall, beyond it is a switch with screens above it, and further beyond that is some large open windows with yellow light coming out of them. In the background the hallway curves out of sight and some small ceiling lights illuminate the dark part of the hallway.

Ohhh interesting. I'd expect a tone a bit more formal, perhaps even a bit stuffy or antiquated. It almost makes me think of a rich non-adventuring wealthy author writing about their disconnected notion of what a traveling adventurer might experience.

Thank you soo much! That's just what I was aiming for (in a kind of NASA photography way)

stevie (she/her) @stevieraedrawn.bsky.social · Sep 1

Awh thanks, Sylar! It means a lot coming from someone whose WIP is breathtaking 😍 I can't wait to eventually make mine aesthetic, too!

stevie (she/her) @stevieraedrawn.bsky.social · Sep 1

There's not much to see in project data mind yet, but the starbox is one thing worth sharing. (However, everything you see is subject to change!) Consider this my first (and belated) #screenshotsaturday

#solodev #indiedev #UE5 #projectdatamind

A screenshot of a graybox room with a placeholder grid material. It is shaped like some sort of living room with a big widow showing outer space outside. The dev left several lines of debug text on screen in the top left corner.

😍😍😍 Unfortunately I love the outcome, so you wont hear me discouraging the practice.

"I have to make things easy for myself, but I'm constantly making design decisions that complicate it!" I need this printed on a shirt with a big "guilty" stamp. If I find anything (other than long term mindfulness) that helps, I promise to share it.

I hope you get to realize your idea, I'm obsessed and I'd definitely enjoy playing an overnight mall game.

stevie (she/her) @stevieraedrawn.bsky.social · Aug 29

My problem is I'm a sucker for the punishment and what I enjoy is the racks and racks of unique plausible looking packaged products in different shapes and sizes. (Just like those amazing items you designed in the vending machine!)

I relate to this on the 2D art side. One painting takes easily 40-50 hours, depending on the content. I wonder if to make a mall there are some procedural tricks one could use to recombine some mesh or texture elements.

Also, I think all the logos were so worth it. I often want to make mall or shop scenes, and I think the visual noise of products adds a certain pleasing aesthetic to those sorts of scenes.

Your work is so gorgeous. Not just this one, but all the pixel 3d models you've shared. So glad I stumbled across you!!

This is awesome! I'm always searching for fellow UE devs! I'm building in UE5 myself, but I haven't started posting about it much here yet. If you'll have me, I'd love to join!

UGH this turned out sooo good!!!!!

I used the template made by @zgymorph.bsky.social! You can grab it here: bsky.app/profile/zgym...

Templates cause I hate struggling to find templates for fun challenges I see others do lol

I don’t think transparent PNG’s work on bsky, so the second picture might literally just be a white square, so I put the colored one too just in case.

A picture of a blank color wheel, with a white frame. It’s originally a transparent png, but there’s a good chance Bluesky gives it a white background and this picture is just a solid white square.

A picture of the white color wheel again but instead of transparent holes for the colors, they’re filled in with each respective color on the wheel.
