I worked on the hunter and did the materials for the Deadlands armor set! Very sad to be stepping away from working on Destiny 2. Hope you all are enjoying this update despite everything ❤️

Project management for personal works means having a hard time forgiving oneself for not having enough energy or not being inspired while chipping away at what's left to do. And still hoping for the best anyway

I was trying to add shifty eye animations onto a character once, and instead of it being applied to just the eyes, it was their whole head. Just imagine someone’s head just spinning, darting around looking super possessed and twitchy

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Little dude frowns at a tiny grey box, exclaiming “all that work for THIS?!”

Little dude shoves the grey box into another little guy’s hands; Frowning, stomping off, and saying “Here you go, I made this, it sucks.”

Second little dude cracks open the box, swirling rainbows project out onto their face.

Oh its #masseffectmonday again! 👀 ME2 has my personal fav intro in a game to date. It was completely unexpected. Even though you knew you had an entire game ahead of you, it still managed to take my breath away, both in game and out haha! #masseffect #femshep #shepard #me #masseffectlegendary

Femshep standing in the Normandy SR1. The roof of the ship is torn open, as Shepard's mag-boots keep her grounded to the ship from the vacuum of space. The faint blue glow of a planet illuminates the ship through the breach. Various equipment and chairs float, as they are being affected by zero gravity.

A close up shot of a pistol is pointed to the viewer by Femshep. She looks confident with a smirk.

A closeup shot of Femshep looking up at the Tuchanka skies, the Krogen home planet. Dust fills the air.

Grunt, a newly awoken tank bred Krogen, has Femshep pinned to the wall with one arm. She doesn't look afraid, even has one arm down concealing a hidden pointed gun at him, as his focus is on her face.

Happy #masseffectmonday! The first Shepard I ran when Legendary edition came out. I don't remember her name atm, I probably named her Kat after myself tbh haha, so we can go with that for now #masseffect #shepard #femshep @masseffectlegandary

Kasumi and Femshep looking up at Hawke in his ship, after Kasumi disabled his shields. They look cheeky and confident in taking him down.
