timrozek.bsky.social @timrozek.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Hey, I did too. Took my daughter to the 4:00 pm. Guessing you were 6:30? I just found out this week that they've been showing Ghibli all summer. 120

Named by @karenjohana.bsky.social, not only does his name mean “lucky, successful,” but "FeLix" includes the atomic symbol for iron (Fe). We couldn’t have asked for a more auspicious name for our mascot! 181
timrozek.bsky.social @timrozek.bsky.social · 19/12/2025It's been a challenging year, but being a part of putting together this new studio has absolutely been a highlight.

timrozek.bsky.social @timrozek.bsky.social · 09/09/2025The furniture was really fun to make, and I hope to feature that in a post at some point. 000
timrozek.bsky.social @timrozek.bsky.social · 09/09/2025At the risk of messing this up since it's been a little while, we wanted to keep the Breton style but add in a Mediterranean/coastal Italian feel, hence the sort of villa look to the higher end, and chunkier wood frame and plaster in lower. Lots of nautical trim and shapes too. 100
timrozek.bsky.social @timrozek.bsky.social · 09/09/2025Adding another set of interior spaces that I made. This time from #ESO #HighIsle.

timrozek.bsky.social @timrozek.bsky.social · 04/08/2025I recently updated my artstation posts with some semi-breakdowns, showing the furniture trims, and some of the variants I made from the parts.

timrozek.bsky.social @timrozek.bsky.social · 04/08/2025I've gotta give the design credit to the concept team, but I did model the motif's and trims for the Elsweyr sets.

timrozek.bsky.social @timrozek.bsky.social · 01/08/2025One more post from my #Elsweyr work!

timrozek.bsky.social @timrozek.bsky.social · 14/07/2025First day back to "work" after the mass MS layoff that led immediately into my vacation week. Man, this is a weird feeling. Did not at all expect to be revisiting my resume and portfolio again right now. Hope everyone else impacted is managing well today. 020
timrozek.bsky.social @timrozek.bsky.social · 05/07/2025So many incredibly talented people just kicked to the curb. Pretty shit week :( 010
timrozek.bsky.social @timrozek.bsky.social · 03/07/2025Ok, I just saved money on RocketMoney by manually cancelling all of my excess subscriptions. That's one productive thing today. Time for my next project. #layedoffbyxbox 161
timrozek.bsky.social @timrozek.bsky.social · 03/07/2025So, should I start a GoFundMe for some Five Guys? I could really use a sad, super unhealthy burger, but am also part of the Xbox layoffs and feel like I shouldn't splurge on something that costs about half a mortgage payment right now. 141
timrozek.bsky.social @timrozek.bsky.social · 02/07/2025Thanks man! Yeah, feeling completely sucker punched, as I think the whole team does. Told my old ESO lead that I've got some time and availability if he's interested. 020
timrozek.bsky.social @timrozek.bsky.social · 02/07/2025Agreed. Happy the ESO team is still mostly intact, but this is a pretty bad day for the studio. Thanks 🙏 110

timrozek.bsky.social @timrozek.bsky.social · 02/07/2025Thanks so much! It means a lot. And nice to see you over here! I left twitter, but really miss the community we'd all built over there. Nice to see a familiar face ☺️. I hope you and your family are well! 110
timrozek.bsky.social @timrozek.bsky.social · 02/07/2025Thanks so much! Still waiting for concrete details. Pretty shitty day. Got a lot of experience, but feels like half the industry is currently unemployed, so we will see. Grateful the ESO team still has jobs, just wish I'd stayed over there, 😭 120
timrozek.bsky.social @timrozek.bsky.social · 02/07/2025Seriously, this sucks so much. I was so excited for what we were making. 050
timrozek.bsky.social @timrozek.bsky.social · 02/07/2025I don't really have the emotional wherewithal to make this a good post. Honestly, this feels awful, shocking, and confusing.
