Does anyone know how to get rid of this in Photoshop on startup? Ive done some digging and gotten nowhere. I just want my recent documents at the top I don't need to have GenAI shoved in my face when I'm working -__-

This year so far has been weird for a *lot* of reasons, but looking back I've done some amazing things in the past six months. Including! 1) Fighting my first boxing matches and my first tournament.

I challenged myself to design a character for the game Food Fantasy within a week. Tbh it was a fun experiment that I'll *probably* come back to and refine it more to make it clean and really polished. #anime #foodfantasy #art #digitalart #characterdesign #oc

Moving closer to polish I've implemented a feature I've wanted for a while: ambient slimelings! They mostly just kinda hangout on the periphery but I think just having them does a lot to make the world feel a bit less lifeless :] #SKRUBSquad

The Montreal Fine Art Museum had an event last night showcasing the Torlonia Sculpture collection. It was so much fun sketching for hours with the live music playing. And yep, I'm going back today 😅

My Sand Sled concept now has a close up shot - injecting some life into the world. I had to double check the shadows by using Blender's lighting so many times ( ˚ ∘ - ﹏ - ) Worth it though #conceptart #art #gameart

I've been chipping away at a personal project for a bit now and I wanted to share a few pieces. It's been a great learning experience so far and I'm excited to post more soon ^__^

Another environment concept from the game Anomaly, there were a lot of early ideas early on to keep the map closed off to an office building, and I was really pushing the liminal space aesthetic.

Laura Onderwater @onderwaterl.bsky.social · 11/08/2025

Early on in Anomaly I made a whole bunch of mood paintings - all trying to narrow down on what the players would see in the over world. Because the Quest's limitations, the environment had to be pretty barren, so I wanted the colours to keep it interesting.

The last week and a half have been full of cosplay creation for otakuthon this year, and I managed to get both done! (check out some of my process pics) I forgot how much fun this is! If anyone is there this weekend I'll be Nikaido from Dorohedoro and Gemma from MHW ~ Come say hi!

More prop designs from the project that got put on hold- prop designs! Vending machines were going to be where the player would get health items and buffs #conceptart #gameart #art

This just in! I've just learned to NOT delete files off of Procreate until they are on my PC and then have a third backup. Guess who deleted a file they were really happy with? This guy!!! 👍 👍

This is still one of my fav pieces for a project that had to be put on hold. Still love the lighting and colours~ #conceptart #art #gameart

Props I designed for the game Anomaly ~~ We had a big focus on eighties tech so I got to play around with the textures and forms a lot with these. #conceptart #propart #gameart

Some of the environment concept art I did for the game Anomaly while with Greensky Games. This was such a fun project to work on, especially while exploring the dark 'SCP' vibes of the game. #conceptart #gameart

Concept art for the game Anomaly. The image is a high angle shot of a dark, granite stone room, deep underground. The room is harshly lit by small industrial lights while tentacles that resemble roots break through the ceiling and floors to connect through the room. Sand is falling in thin streams from the ceiling and there are small piles of sand in the corners of the room.

$Concept art exploring different designs of eldritch tentacles with a fractal and stony theme. There are seven different designs all with a silhouette of a person to give a general size context. The silhouette in each design is a third of the size of the tentacles.$ Concept art of stony scales and eldritch tentacles growing on and destroying props. There are three states to each prop, to show how the tentacles gradually grow into and destroy the object. The objects are a streetlamp, a set of three lockers, a desk and chair, and an 80's inspired computer and keyboard.
