Rock reference pic from the pool in Crete. Looks like granite or some other igneous rock to me from here. I’ll do some research whilst sipping cocktails in the sun today 😁👍

Happy birthday to me - literally lost count of how many times I’ve bought this trilogy 😂 definitely more versions than Skyrim I think… 🤔

Last night my kid took a telescope up on the roof and we all had a good look at some celestial stuff. He got an ace pic of Saturn with the dark line of the rings showing and one of the moon - the incredible detail of the craters on the moon really didn’t come through in the pic unfortunately.

More tweaks to the blockout lighting for my gothic hallway #environmentart piece - added some lights to the candles, tweaked the colour of the maelstrom as well as the intensities and changed from a singular directional light to multiple rect lights. Still loads more to do but v happy with this. 😀👍

Quick and dirty lighting blockout/mockup for my gothic hallway #environmentart piece. Going to aim for some sort of green maelstrom outside with main interior lighting coming from the candles and braziers and an ominous red light coming from the just open door at the end.

Comparison of the 2 column types in my gothic #environmentart piece - the one on the left really does nothing for the silhouette given the amount of polys in it. Will remove and replace with something better I think. Some wasted work yes, but a lesson learnt - soooo swings and roundabouts tbh. 👍🤷♂️

2 column types for my gothic hallway #environmentart piece. The one on the right involved tracing a pattern, using a solidify modifier and then lattices and shrinkwrap modifiers and finally dupe'ing it. I tried an array but it was getting late and it was beating me too much so I took the easy way 😂

Made a thing for my gothic hallway environment - pleased with this! Blockout is progressing at a slow but steady pace😀😅#environmentart

Absolute filthy combo - Conqueror gives me life when an opponent loses life and the cleric hits my opponent when I gain life. Once you have in play and smack the opponent they do an infinite loop all the way to the end as there’s no restrictions 😂 #mtg #magicthegathering

Hare Apparent deck - turn 4 win, absolutely swamped my opponent. Think I got lucky that his draws were bad though 😂 #magicthegathering

Something to bear in mind with sandstone type rocks (sedimentary rocks) when doing Environment Art is that it’s laid down in striations of different colours one on top of the other. Also they are almost always wonky as the rock is moved around after deposition, even more so in highly tectonic areas.

Here’s my effort from James Julier’s latest Halloween themed tutorial - added in some pumpkins from one of his others. Really chuffed with how this turned out 😁👍
