It’s a truly incredible crop of collaborators this year, and I feel very grateful to have contributed some environment work to glue things together. Thanks again and always to Michael @theziumsociety.itch.io for the latitude to run with this odd, beautiful idea for a virtual gallery space.

some old render tests, I think from when I was figuring out the style for Ramblemoor

I have a new website for my art, which is to say I have a website now: www.potterfield.art I've got some time coming up for part-time work. If you've got a project big or small, which needs environment art: 3D or visual development

Have you tried Beyond Blue? Slightly reminiscent of Aquanauts Holiday for ps1

I'm working on environment design for next Zium Exhibition, more details eventually. This poster shows the overworld which each artist's gallery is located within

A colorful poster depicting a mountainous landscape interspersed with architecture and infrastructural details, a white ribbon loops around the landscape. In the center is a tall triangular mountain.

@jpotterfield.bsky.social also made a poster for The Zium Digest, which in the back pages has some cameos from other collectives, and this was ours for The Zium. The image in this is the mountain from the new Zium from some early art tests. Adore this piece of art. Thank you, Jacob!

noodling a little more on the retro/dithered project. All the textures are derived from a hand-painted atlas. Aside from it being very efficient I enjoy the constraints/creativity of working this way

various squarish chunks of rocky land and stone structures presented in a dithered pixelated 3D style

stone wall segments, some plane some with patterns reminiscent of ancient Mesoamerican art presented in a dithered pixelated 3D style

at texture atlas: various small paintings arranged in a square grid. The paintings depict natural surfaces, water, stonework and decorative art and carvings

Yeah, it's a framing that aligns more with what I find experientially interesting about games (as opposed to the ludology branches of the tree). I'd recommend 'Game Poems: Videogame Design as Lyric Practice' by Jordan Magnuson, it's a nice overview with some good references

I released Mothwing in 2022, a short, abstract visual novel thing. It's the closest I've come to making a 'game poem', a form and sensibility I've been thinking about a lot lately
