Welp, I've just found out that my role has been made redundant 🫠... So I will be looking for work! If anyone is looking for a 2D/3D Generalist or Art Director for games (particularly specialising in stylised projects!) please shout! From concepts > modelling > animating thru to implementation 💛✨

Recently I've been really trying to crack that part of my brain that insists my work be clean and tidy. Pushing for for exaggerated proportions and crooked and wonky shapes. I want everything to be slightly off-kilter (the concept by Eriketi Koulouri is helping a lot with that)

knife!! opal knife!! i loved working on this and as time passes i see things i can improve on but its still one of my favorite pieces! www.artstation.com/artwork/oO5evm original concept art is by the lovely @drawmaevedraw.bsky.social !! www.artstation.com/artwork/8lVYNO #jacintafart

cosmic blade! there is a blue purply pink round opal embedded in the center. the gem is surrounded by ornate, green coppery metal with a lot of filigree. we are looking at the blade so the gem is facing upward but the blade is facing the right. magic wispies are coming out of the opal parts of the blade and the gem. the handle of the knife is rounded and the background of the image is dark to emphasize the bright colors of the blade. the handle is made of a branch and is wrapped in green cloth!

The way I see it the people who needed your support and general good vibes the past 4 years would still needed it no matter the outcome. There are people struggling who just need the smallest bit of compassion and help and it’s so easy to give. Start small build momentum and don’t give up.

Early WIP forest environment, featuring a cube 🧊 #GameArt #3Dart

A screenshot of a work in progress forest environment, with trees, bushes, flowers, very large flowers, and ivy. In the center is a blank cube stuck in the ground covered in ivy and flowers. Wrapping around the cube are some large pink flowers, and on the left side of the image are very large yellow flowers.

Figured I might as well share some of the gameplay assets I made for Palia over here now! I was responsible for helping out with some cooking, gardening, and mining assets. The mining nodes by far were my favorite to work on, tho the tomatoes have a special place in my heart. #palia #3dart

Making a hay roof material + mesh set up was something that was more challenging than I expected! There was a lot of experimentation that went into this, which eventually lead to the final chunky roofs I made for the houses. The final result is a lot more optimized than in the first screenshots.
