My brother just released GRAPHLINK, a handy Unreal Engine plugin. It lets you add clickable links inside Blueprints: to code, assets, docs, even external sites. A great way to stay organized and speed up your workflow! www.fab.com/listings/140... #ue5 #gamedev

Replaying Dishonored 2 to enjoy this piece of art again and remember why it's one of my favorite franchises. His world, level design, gameplay, music, UI... and that crazy, timeless artstyle. It's so inspiring.

We didn’t win, but people loved the game! Still need to polish a few things and keep moving forward :D. Big congrats to the participants and winners, it was great hanging out after! Also, met a guy and realized we worked on a game together years ago without knowing until we started talking xD.

A character I made 6+ years ago, the one that pretty much got me into the industry. Standards have changed,and while it doesn’t meet them now, it defines why I started making 3D and games. That's why it's still one of my favs. AS: www.artstation.com/artwork/kkLn2 #3dart #characterart #finalfantasy

These days I only use overwatch as a character viewer for references. I haven't played a competitive videogame for years. Anyone else?

Another character I made for an unannounced (and canceled) project a long time ago. I’m glad I can share these cause it was fun developing them with the team. AS: www.artstation.com/artwork/g0L83L #gameart #3Dcharacter #3Dart

Finished Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown and its DLC.Just the kind of game I wish big companies made more often: great singleplayer experiences that enrich a genre.Sadly, but not surprising nowadays,the team was dismantled a month ago. Kudos to everyone who made this gem.Can’t recommend it enough!

Maki and Arico. I’ve already made a game called Arico, and now Maki is jealous. Guess I’ll have to make another one with his name someday?

If games industry is breaking apart cause companies/investors prioritize numbers,churning out copypaste games over the future of games and their workers,but it’s full of experienced devs... maybe we should start our own small,creative studios? Oh right, I'm missing one thing: we need money to eat.

A fun tribute to Akira Toriyama and his Dragon Quest series I did 4 years ago that I rerendered the last week just to test some stuff. :) AS: www.artstation.com/artwork/mDz3oy #3art #characterart #akiratoriyama

One of the chars I did time ago for an unnanounced project. It was for ingame and cinematics, so kind of a midpoly. I hope to be able to show this guy animated in engine some day,couse the work that we all made with it was great. AS: www.artstation.com/artwork/w03ZaY #3dart #stylized #characterart
