I was debating going back to bare metal again so I focused on getting the paint looking grimey and reducing the soft bumpy height mask.
I think I want to do a highpass version of the paint chips height mask so I can get some thinner peeling on the edges 🤔

I guess TL:DR is your skill set doesnt just jump up it slowly builds over years and it kinda takes a village to make a good artist 😅 without the peeps I mentioned and soo many more spending there time on me I would still be making boxy AKs 😂

Then @marknormington.bsky.social and @jordanmossy.bsky.social were kind enough to guide me on creating this impact wrench prop and I also created this construction lamp around the same time

I then decided I had to lock in and pick between realism or stylised and at the time I felt my realism was a little further along so I picked that!
I made this crysknife that tbh I regret taking off my portfolio cause I actually really like it (maybe ill update it soon)

I then joined the Timesplitters team which took up a lot of my time for a few years but after that did a group stylised art mentorship with @anyatheartist.bsky.social as I had never tried stylised stuff before!

I then started another mentorship with Ryan and made my original speakeasy!
Fun fact on this project I was about a month in and it wasnt close to what we wanted so we decided to scrap almost all of it and start over, this was a mega important lesson for me!

Found renders of the first models I ever did in substance back in 2017
Was going to do the trend of me "20XX - me 20XX" but I feel like that trend doesnt get the point across that #gameart is a compounding skill and it takes a lot of projects to snowball. So heres a 🧵 of mine

Recent realised #Titanfall2 servers arent being ddos anymore so I have been playing again and my lord this game is good
Every movement and action feels so deliberate and solid
And art direction wise the world they built from the architecture to the character designs is so strong and fleshed out 😍

I will die on the hill that games are at their greatest when they are treated as a medium for expression and not just entertainment
I dont think there is a better medium for surrealism than games, no other art form can flesh out worlds/ecosystems so smoothly
(I have many screenshots but spoilers)

When working on TimesplittersRewind I offered to tackle the front of Spaceways (basically a space airport) I was really struggling to make a start as I hadn't done any sci-fi stuff before and then I watched Lightyear for the first time and it really helped me find my feet!
