I haven't shared much of Misfit Company in a while as I am working towards finally revealing gameplay but it's so hard not to reveal everything I've created over the past year and a half #indiedev #gamedev #gaming

I took the first two weeks off of 2026 to refresh and do some personal 3D art. Kind of a mini vacation. Now I am back into full development on my game at North Peak 🤘 #solodev #indiedev #gamedev

Brendon Bauman @northpeakb.bsky.social · 16/01/2026

Last year, I asked Cole Eastburn if I could do a 3D version of his Samwise Didier project, and I am so grateful he let me take a swing at it! www.artstation.com/artwork/EzREW4 #gameart #3dart #characterart #blender #3d

Brendon Bauman @northpeakb.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

Starting 2026 with some new updates! Here is a new version of one of my old projects! #gameart #3dart #characterart #blender #3d

Brendon Bauman @northpeakb.bsky.social · 01/01/2026

Hey folks on #gameart and #gamedev I'm looking around on where to find the best and still lively communities for us who are in the industry? Ideally #AAA and #Indiedev! I want to meet and connect!

Here is my latest daily concept! A reimagining of the Korriban Sith Academy from KOTOR. I did those over the weekend with the spare time I had outside of the family duties. #conceptart #starwars #blender3d #illustration #gameart

Brendon Bauman @northpeakb.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

another daily concept piece that I just wrapped up! I'm really liking the results of this and finally captured a good process video to show how I use Blender to build out the concept. this one took around 2.5 hours from block in to final touches. #conceptart #art #blender #illustration

Brendon Bauman @northpeakb.bsky.social · 03/12/2025

Back with another daily concept piece. I did a demo with my students today on using Blender for concepting environments and keyframes. I'm calling this Icehorn Castle and imagine it would fit into a dark souls style game or universe #conceptart #art #blender #illustration

Brendon Bauman @northpeakb.bsky.social · 01/12/2025

More of the animation is coming together slowly. I haven't animated since college so this whole project has been a huge leap of faith. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #animation #blender3d

Brendon Bauman @northpeakb.bsky.social · 29/11/2025

Another update, This is the arm of the main character fully being rendered in unreal. It's been a year on this project and it started with a script idea after watching arcane. Now I'm starting to be more public about it as I feel it's visually ready. #indiedev #solodev #gamedev

Brendon Bauman @northpeakb.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

So I've spent the last year working on my game and currently am leading up to an official reveal but I couldn't help to share this bit of animation I did last night 😁 still lots to do on it. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

Brendon Bauman @northpeakb.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

Good morning game dev folks! What are you making today? #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

Brendon Bauman @northpeakb.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

Question for fellow game devs. How long would you make your demo? 15, 20, or 30 minutes? #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

Brendon Bauman @northpeakb.bsky.social · 21/11/2025

Hey folks, I've been exploring some ideas on creating a new series as kind of an outlet from my game dev job. I'm thinking of a 3D based comic with some animation stuff thrown into the mix. #comic #art #3Dart #webcomic

Here is some of the design work I was doing for my Witcher version of Link. The goal was to build up layers and keep things grounded in realism. #artdirection #conceptart #concept #illustration #gameart #2d #characterart #characterdesign #legendofzelda

I just finished up a batch of characters for my game and realized I've produced about the equivalent of a small army of characters that will be existing throughout the whole experience! Feels awesome to see it coming together after a year of hard work #gamedev #indiedev #solodev
