Shit, what have I missed this time??
I don't have the proper words to say more than this now but
I was just laid off. My role at Giant Squid is being eliminated.
If your studio is looking for an environment artist, please let me know ASAP. I have 5+ years of experience.
thank you
It looks super clean! My handwriting is far too awful to even be it's own font haha.
Can't wait to see the IHF TPB #8!
Ah man, can't wait to see Derek's work accompanied with your lettering!
Always happy to answer questions! As I'm the same way, I love learning how other people go through their process.
Sculpting is for sure a blast and I miss it! Been meaning to take on some personal projects to get back to it. Mixing styles is a fun challenge as well!
No worries and you as well! =)
Thanks so much for the kind words! Our concept artists are great!
It depends! For the first personal Stylized House project there was a lot of sculpting involved.
For HKIA assets I mostly box-model low/high in Maya with some sculpting every now and then. Especially if it involves nature.
Fair point!!! I've only been once but definitely miss the chance to connect and share business cards. Might just have to update mine as well!

Well this is all incredibly new and disheartening for me to read. But I'm glad I did, especially before Megacon as he's attended it before. Where I've even bought art directly from him. Always such a shame to see people lose their way of humanity.
MHA but it's a cartoon
The Wingull update 🔊✨ I've been toying with the environment's atmosphere and details, stuff like caustics, footsteps, decals, etc. Also added a touch of handpainting to Squirtle's diffuse!
🌟 It's LAUNCH DAY!! 🌟
It’s been an amazing journey bringing this world to life alongside the team at Sunblink. Huge thanks to the team for their trust over these past 3 years! 💖
Stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes insights and sneak peeks! 🚀

Hello Kitty Island Adventure is coming out in less than 10 days!!!! 🏝️
I’m an animator on the team and so obsessed with this game
#hellokitty #cozygames #nintendoswitch
Spirited Away is mine personally as it was my first but I have a real soft spot for Porco Roso!
Absolutely love this! One of the less talked about Ghibli films!
We've officially launched on Switch/Steam! It's so surreal seeing our game with a big banner on Nintendo's site! Not to mention we're #1/3 in Top 100 sellers right now with a Very Positive rating! I couldn't be more proud of this game and our hard working team!

Taking time to think about how art is created helps you with future projects. Writing it out helps you breakdown the process. This example from keithyong12. Original painting by Kazuo Oga.
Text reads: "Carpenters Hammer & Axe" A profile render of both the hammer and axe configurations of the tool. Smaller renders either side of it for the nails and wedges contained within parchment wraps, as well as close up shots of the nails and wedges themselves.
Alternates angles of the hammer and axe configurations in addition to a close up of the haft and demonstration of the hammer head when unused and suspended from a metal loop.
Close up renders of the perforated parchment strips and metal clips used to contain the nails and wedges. The intention is that they can be attached to the carpenter's clothing allowing them to be reached easily when working atop large scale constructions.
Took a small break from the grey of blocking out to work on something a little more colourful. An idea I had for an interchangeable hammer/axe. Complete with nails and clay wedges for splitting sturdier wood and soft stone. #gameart #indiedev #b3d #substancepainter
Speaking of HKIA....we launch tomorrow! I'm beyond excited for everyone new joining the game!
"Tomorrow’s the day! Thank you all for your love and support with our launch on Nintendo Switch and Steam! We hope you’re all as excited as us for this journey <3"

Drawings of calico cats, but instead a blotchy color pattern they grow patches of mold.

Thanks so much for the kind words! It's been super fun to work on the environments, especially with the amazing team we have. The new Icy Peak area is so cute and it's so fun we're getting snow!
That's so awesome to hear 😁! We greatly appreciate you joining in on the fun from the start and continuing to play! We're totally excited to be getting new players as well!
