Here’s all the books I’ve finished so far. All The Pretty Horses and Circe were probably my two favorites. But honestly they were all great.

My eurorack space station is nearly complete. There’s a few modules I’d like to swap/sell but feeling good about where it’s at currently. #synthsky

Now that the dust has settled, I am here to announce that I was hit by layoffs at Stoic. If you have or know of any positions that I'd be a good fit for, please let me know! I'm an Art Director/Principal Env Artist with 7+ years of XP and 5 shipped titles. (2 in UE5)

Was talking about videosynths with a buddy on discord last night and i was like “I want a videosynth that can just fuck up a videogame input” and then I find this www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2sZ...

Ok I can make sounds with it now. The dry ass square wave sounds pretty blah without a filter or any effects yet, but you can IMAGINE it being a cool jungle pad once I get some reverb in here.

Okay I set up a custom palette in #pico8 and now I gotta actually make everything functional

Tai @praxispixels.bsky.social · 26/03/2026
Playing with indexed palettes over lunch! Goal is to build this in pico8, but I have been seeing that you can build custom 16bit palettes in pico8 so will test that tonight.

On the bright side, it fills me with overwhelming hope when I see all of the gamer subreddit “consumers” absolutely dunking on the NVIDIA DLSSlop.

Hi incase you miss me, I’ve been doing fish art, baking bread, and reading books in my free time instead of looking into the void.

Lil armor study for fun yesterday. Trying to emulate graphite/charcoal as best I can in PS was a fun goal. Will probably do more of these soon

The good news is, in the final artstation post I DID end up reducing the fog intensity and rebalanced some of the color grading and lighting. Sculpts and proportions of some things could still have been improved though.

Here are some WIP shots of an old personal project I did back in unreal engine 4. A lot of foliage exploration and material pipeline studying went on here. Hopefully someday I'll go back to this world.

Here is quick a breakdown on my thatch roof pieces. It's more of a workflow guide than a complete tutorial, and assumes some knowledge about #Zbrush and #SubstancePainter.
