I'm finally starting to work on the art pass for the main base structure of my Firefight map, now that the stone materials are in a solid spot.

To honor Ozzy's larger-than-life rock and roll legacy, we're making Brütal Legend *FREE* on itch.io: doublefine.itch.io/brutal-legend

But this incredible deal will only last for 666 minutes, as the prophecy foretold. So get yourself clicking, before it disappears like a demon in the night...

Captured a funny clip during a playtest for my new ODST Firefight map. The Marines were feeling a little trolley. 😂

if you're in Europe PLEASE consider signing the Stop Destroying Games initiative. the deadline is July 31st 2025. it aims to create legislation for publishers to stop killing the games you pay for and to provide an end-of-life plan for live-service products. thanks!

Games should give you the tools to continue to play them if/when they get shut down. You should keep access to the product you paid for

If any of my EU viewers agree, I urge you to sign the petition

Might be a hot take but I don't think ray tracing is always worth it.

My first illustration for Loot Crate. Loot Crate turned into a really enjoyable ongoing project and gave me the opportunity to illustrate for the first time some of my original concepts. #Halo #scifiart #scifi #illustration #conceptart
