Brake downs are hard and there is no one way to do it but my take is be concise and to the point not spending long one one part but show the full body of work and Lawrence definitely chose that approach. Go check it out and give your support ⬇️⬇️⬇️

I've been inspired by great greek painters I saw last week. So here's PBR made out of watercolor paintings. And of course, the normals were handpainted as usual. Made in a pretty modified version of UE5. #GameArt #UnrealEngine #UE5 #WaterColor

and here it is in motion!! Many thanks to @cosmicjaybird.bsky.social for sharing her water shader techniques I've borrowed here during Into Games Env Art course last Sept! I'm a little late on finishing the project since my scene needed a hard reboot, but it's been so worth the extra work and time

Hi! Thanks! ☺️ I do plan on setting up a store at some point soon but trying to get more work under my belt first so it's more cost efficient to make/sell prints. I'm hoping to sell originals too. I'll post an update when store is up. ✨

Out painting again! Just off Stroud canal, there is this old sewage pumping station that is due to get demolished soon apparently. I just wanted an excuse to practise painting some greys which I generally struggle with. #oilpainting #pleinair #michaelhardingpaints #urbanpainting #stroudartists

Late night comic studies! Read Once and Future by Kieron Gillon, which is an amazing comic with great art by Dan Mora. Been itching to do some studies of it and some other of my favs. Maybe I'll fill this sketchbook with just comic panel studies...

Mannn it's so bizarre seeing my art be used as an actual album cover. 😮 So glad though I got a chance to help @rupertcole.bsky.social with the art for the Completely Stretchy Album, was honestly SO much fun to paint in oils!! 🖌️

my new texture painting tool is now available in Gradientsapce UEToolbox 0.1.7. Lots of nice features, and more to come! In the vid I (tried to) make this Quixel burger box look a bit greasier by painting into the roughness map (8k textures!!). Get it here (free!): www.gradientspace.com/uetoolbox

I feel this all the time when trying to reach out and network and do things for potential indie stuff, very very easy to put pressure on yourself and put that mask on. Keep doing you though Anna, the studio is great because your personality shines through it! ☺️

Anybody that knows me knows I ADORE Amano's art. So seeing him in person do his thing has been a long time goal, even though I only caught like 10 minutes of it. 😅

I spent so much on prints and merch and art books and I regret nothing. I even bought a set of his paint brushes. 😅

I went to Lucca comics the other week and watched Yoshitaka Amano paint and it made my brain melt. 💀

I'm exploring the potential of doing some illustration commissions over December/in the new year: DND character posters, album covers, etc. Either digital or traditionally using oils/gouache. If interested ping me a DM or message me on discord @cosmicjaybird

Game artist problem: I just got back from a holiday in Italy and managed to take up all the backup space on my Google drive by mostly taking photos of walls and alleyways.

Port Symphonia. ⚓✨ Oil on Canvas. 100cmx60cm. Overlooking the Sea Of New Souls lies the pirate port of Symphonia, a place where many who start their adventure into the dream world of Levorra emerge as new arrivals from the sea of clouds below.

A blue ocean of clouds with the spires of a fantastical city emerging through it, floating in place with a large golden crystal in it's centre. In the foreground, an airship flies towards the city. Beyond the clouds in the sky is distance gas giant with a soft glow.
