Hi #portfolioday! I'm Liz, a Senior 3D Artist & stylized art specialist. I've worn all sorts of hats over the last 10 years, with my most recent non-NDA work on "Coven of the Chicken Foot!" 📨 eliz.walcher@gmail.com 🎨 lizwalcher.artstation.com (private portfolio avail. upon request)

Screenshot from the trailer of "Coven of the Chicken Foot" by Wildflower Interactive. It shows a dark, mossy forest at night. The scene shows a few skeletons, an old sword & shield, some pine trees, and two mysterious-looking characters in the distance illuminated by bright green light.

A screenshot of two "demodogs" from the game "Stranger Things VR." They are in a black void space. One of them is in a walking pose with its mouth closed, and the other is roaring with its mouth open.

Lynda Barry did not squeeze your heart and simultaneously explain the point of all art with the barest of line drawings so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

HOW TO LOOK AT ART by Lynda Barry

In the first panel, a dog-headed woman, a mother, looks at a painting in the "Madonna with Baby Jesus" vein. A small blobby child is standing next to her.

Mother: IM NOT SURE HOW TO LOOK AT ART.
Child: WHATS SPOSTA HAPPEN?

In the second panel the dog-headed mother holds up her hands (paws?) trying to explain to the child.

Mother: SOMETHING BIG. A REVELATION.
SUDDENLY YOU JUST UNDERSTAND.

In the third panel dog-headed mother goes back to looking at the painting. The child holds up their arms to be lifted.

Mother: NOT SURE HOW TO MAKE IT HAPPEN
Child: HOW BOUT LIFT ME UP SO I CAN SEE BETTER

In the last panel, the dog-headed mother is holding the child, their position mirrored by the Madonna and baby Jesus in the painting.

This is the difference you get not just photo-sourcing textures and using very deliberately applied contrast and pixel level detail.

A little scripted camera setup. You can see on the right how the camera target (red circle) changes from pointing at a neural position at the center of the area (green) to following the character as they approach the doorway. Then it's smoothed a lot (yellow).

california is gonna have so many mail in ballots that don’t get counted because people don’t know the new USPS rules that are impacting mail in voting. tl;dr don’t put your ballot in the mail today, find a ballot drop box. www.kqed.org/news/1208537...

Thanks Liz! The skies are useful subjects due to how they force me to go slow and have a light hand, two extremely unintuitive things to me.

Trying out colored pencils over the past couple days, jumping between sketchbooks to see how different paper feels.

Three open sketchbooks, showing various colored pencil drawings I've completed recently: LA at dusk, a garden building in Venice, and a bunch of colorful fantasy drawings showing a camouflaged figure in a gasoline-colored forest, a stern knight, and a woman with huge red eyes.

Three sketchbooks open to pages with recent colored pencil drawings I've completed: the LA river at night, a drawing of the side of my apartment in the afternoon, and some drawings of a ponytailed knight with a pistol.

We library folk do a good job talking about all the free services we offer, but I don’t see many of us talking about how libraries are one or the only places where you can use services without being advertised to.

Despelote is one of my favorite games of the last few years. Documentarian and personal and unlike anything else I’ve played. Go run around as a little kid trying to make sense of the world in the shadow of the World Cup.

It seems people want to ponder orbs—I mean learn about Matcaps! They're great for gesturing at complex lighting and reflections within a stylized art style. And as a bonus, no UV unwrapping! ^.^

small worlds, screenshots, browser (2009) archive.org/details/smal...

a lofi chunky pixelized platformer. the protragonist looks like a thick match stick.

as you move, the world zooms out and you become smaller, creating an interesting effect.

even further zoomed out, you are getting quite small now. still not sure what the setting is.. possibly a space station or something.

you are now tiny but can see much more of the map that you have now explored (without having to use a map).

Angeline Era is out NOW!!! ^.^ here's a breakdown of some elements and techniques I used to create the HUGE visual world of Era. Ultra-dense action and secrets meant a bigger focus than ever on visual clarity and communication! ⚔️🔍 See it in action!! store.steampowered.com/app/2393920/...

Cube-based environment art (along with melos’s “auto-cuber” tool) allows for the efficiency and complex secrets-hinting of 2D tilesets combined with the benefits of 3D lighting and atmosphere.

Large “EnviroChunks” with flexible triplanar materials quickly establish setting in the background of scenes.

Gestural vertex colors quickly and beautifully define characters that pop against the environment and look good small or large onscreen.

iNaturalist.org can be an amazing resource for game artists, featuring species id and many public domain community photos of life on Earth!

Matcap materials are good for creating shiny or translucent objects while maintaining a simplified/stylized look.
