I've neglected to post about this on my personal Bluesky so far, but I worked on a game for the GMTK 2025 Game Jam with some friends. It was an awesome experience, even if the game launched non-functional. It works now though, and we have our first feature patch! Check it out on Itch!

@gamefabricator.bsky.social Any chance you'd remember the polycount of some of the Halo CE models? I'm making a game very much inspired by its visual style, and I want to try to stick to the original Xbox constraints to some degree

Happy Valentine's Day! To celebrate, here's a piece I've been working on lately. 2 of my D&D campaign's PCs finally kissed after a year of both in-game and IRL time. I had to draw it! It's not quite done yet, but I'm so pleased with where it's at so far

A drawn image of two D&D characters sharing their first kiss. On the left, an aasimar monk sits cross-legged and has his eyebrows raised. On the right, a pallid elf paladin leans toward the aasimar's face. They press their lips together. The two sit on a simple bed, silhouetted by moonlight to the image's left and bathed in firelight from a hearth behind the "camera" of the drawing. The kiss these two share is simple and warm

Oh! It turns out I've been added to a "Best Canadian TTRPG Follows" starter pack! I hardly think I'm deserving of that title, but it's a fantastic development. Thank you! And welcome new followers!

I'm making Veiled Blades, a stealth action TTRPG inspired by crunchy RPGs and stealth video games

TTRPG fans! Today I take my first foray into my original system, Veiled Blades. I have published the starter rules on Itch, and would love to get feedback from the wider RPG world. I hope you enjoy!

I've finally started learning ZBrush. I'm still getting used to the UI, but I'm happy with my results so far!
A picture of a drawing display on a desktop, with the 3D sculpting program ZBrush displayed on it. Above the display is a sticky note, with various useful shortcuts for ZBrush written on it, placed on the primary monitor of this computer setup. In ZBrush, the user has sculpted a compass rose with four rings attached between its four cardinal points. The points of the rose have been decorated with floral patterns similar to what might be seen on a decorated crucifix A screenshot taken from inside ZBrush, showing 3/4 view of a compass rose with four rings attached between its four cardinal points. The points of the rose have been decorated with floral patterns similar to what might be seen on a decorated crucifix, and there is a raised circle in the middle of the compass rose. The rings between the compass points are studded with small holes, meant to be settings for gemstones. This design is referred to as a Quaternity Compass, a symbol created by the modeller for his homebrew D&D world's main faith

If #SpiderVerse is a comic book, Venom would be ink spilled onto the page.

This is the idea that inspired me to animate this shot of #Venom. I rotoscoped every frame of my 3D animation with India ink, then scanned it back into the computer. It took 2 months but I’m happy with it! #animation #b3d

I had to snip out my favourite moment from #TheGameAwards. @laratlarian.bsky.social's words echo the heart of every developer. The industry needs to listen.

We just want to make cool stuff for people.

Would anyone be willing to offer advice for this animation for school? I need the hammer to feel heavier, mainly, and I'm having a hard time wrapping my brain around how to accomplish that. Bigger settles/antics? Longer spacing between when the hammer lifts? Thanks to anyone for their help!

A number of artists and creators have made their home on Bluesky, and we hear their concerns with other platforms training on their data. We do not use any of your content to train generative AI, and have no intention of doing so.

More character modeling! I'm starting to feel really good about where this is going
A front view (sorta between full front and 3/4, so like 7/8?) of a 3D modeled head in progress, with no textures. Currently features open eye sockets and rudimentary hair A side view (sorta between full side and 3/4, so like 5/8?) of a 3D modeled head in progress, with no textures.

If you're a creator who:

- Takes long break periods
- Creates very slowly
- Has another full time job or engagement
- Struggles with productivity
- Is inconsistent

I'm sorry to tell you...

YOU'RE STILL A VALID CREATOR BECAUSE CREATING IS TIED TO PASSION, NOT PRODUCTIVITY 💜✨️

In learning Clip Studio Paint for an upcoming project, I ended up putting this panel together. It serves as both a test and a sneak peek of things to come. It feels so gratifying to come back to art and be doing pieces I'm proud of
A comic panel with a full-page wide shot of a robotic character staring out at a burning city. The robot carries a sci-fi rifle and looks in frozen terror at the scene before him. The sky is red and streaked with lightning, like cracks in the sky itself. The high-rise buildings in the mid-ground are bathed in red light from the sky, and have flames burning in various places along their heights. A rectangular text bubble in the bottom right corner reads "This must be the end..."

Good morning, BlueSky! First post! Before getting into personal projects today, I'm trying to do the responsible thing and get some homework done. Sadly, learning rigging in Maya is sapping my joy away 😅 I'm gonna power through - gotta keep my grades up
