Also this game has no right to look this damn good in current year 😍♥️ I cannot believe this game is almost 10 years old..

Ill take that over the 100 post from brainlets in suits trying to pedal AI crap that there normally is 😂

Thank you Ryan! ♥️

Id love to see it if you find any!

Important side note: I likely would have gave up on this stinky industry if it wasnt for the never ending kindness and help of the people that work in it.

I have worked in quite a few industries and I have never met a single person as kind, passionate or helpful as the ones that work in games! ♥️

that brings me to now!

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 😂

I then did a mentoring with Lewis Thompson and created my bladerunner military radio!

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!

I then stumbled around for about 6 months with a bunch of props/environments that didnt work out (but still important for learning!)

3-4 months after the Jam I did my first mentorship with @blvdnights.bsky.social and he really helped me get on my feet with environment art! ♥️

These were followed by my first environment. Which I made as part of a artstation challege (god I miss them 😭😅)
