I was the lead on a run of 30 official statues for Sonic Team. These statues were a gift for a number of artists at Sega, including Naoto Ohshima.
In FFIX, Black Mages only live for roughly a year so actually it's really flavorful of WotC to kill Vivi after about five months.

A really lovely picture of the League of Legends MVP trophy I worked on. We can do gold accents (with real gold!) in house now, it's super cool.

Borrowed a friend's costume to match @storytellercosplay.bsky.social while we pass out candy tonight. This is my first time in years to live in a neighborhood with a lot of trick or treaters.

I had so much fun with this one! If you were ever traumatized as a child by Zelda, Ecco the Dolphin, or even the PS2 disc error screen then this is the episode for you.

I recently worked on the EMEA Valorant Ascension trophy. Specifically the most of the paint, some cleanup, assembly, and the casting and gloss for the ORB.
Cool finish! I'm happy whenever a trophy looks like it's rendered but it's just there right in front of you.

Based on how much I have to explain to clients how to design for 3d, I'm not worrying about this affecting my livelyhood anytime soon.
However if you do see someone who's standards are low enough to buy Funkoslop then please shame them relentlessly.

I got this ad on Reddit for AI slop that starts funny purely because the bandage doesn't cover his ear and a human needed to look through their promo images and pick one, but I digress.
The hook here is *actual physical objects*!

New episode! We did not expect a massive leak just a day before launch be we still edited in a bonus segment. And honestly the leak only solidified our takes.
This week on Brainlords we ask if Game Freak deserves it! Your love? Your ire? Your pity? All of the above! With the release of ZA, a new action game in the mix, and after a big leak we discuss a company that still wants to be the indie studio it once was.

It might be cheating to pick the stuff I worked on but alot of people put hundreds of hours of physical labor around toxic chemicals to make these happen.
I'm really proud of the projects I do and I wish that people could easily look up who did SFX work like they can with illustrator credits.

I think everyone has been struggling in one way or another lately so it was fun to discuss how many all-tiner games are just immediately available for free.
Episode 18 is live! I mean it's one Bananza, Michael. What could it cost? $20?
Why are AAA games too expensive yet indie games are too cheap? We talk about how to game under hard times and recommend some incredible games that are 100% FREE.
