WOO I LOVE SHADER COMPILATION

#unrealengine #ue5 #shaders
A picture of a PC monitor, showing the Unreal Engine editor starting. Its progress sits at 45%, the point at which Unreal Engine compiles shaders. Still 5,230 to go...

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

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

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!

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. Currently features open eye sockets and rudimentary hair with a high ponytail A side view of a 3D modeled head in progress, with no textures.

Here's a test panel for a web comic I'm planning out! For my first attempt at anything comic-related, I'm pretty happy with it
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..."

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
