Hubert's assets, created as decorations for cyberpunk cityscapes, are used especially widely in animations that the IDF released during their strikes on Iran in June.

Ripped assets from Hubert are shown here in stills from IDF animations, with blue highlights:

These assets have been used in IDF videos as recently as September 5, in an animation of the Mushtaha Tower in Gaza City, which was destroyed by Israeli airstrikes the same day

In this video the ground itself is a patch-work quilt of third-party scans of pavement & parking lots

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war

At the end of October, Becca and I will be moving away from San Diego. Exact destination TBD. There's sort of a best and worst case scenario. Best is we move for a job. Worst is we move because I still can't find one. So...any support right now would be great.

David Mariotte @davidmariotte.bsky.social · 9d

Okay, waiting on notes back on all scripts I've currently got out and open to more! If you're looking for an experienced comic writer and editor, hit me up! I'm great with licensed work and playing in other people's worlds, doing adaptations, and I have original pitches ready! dmariottewebhost@gmail
