Three small drawings: One of a shrine under a pine tree with a stone inside, one of a salamander on the forest floor, one of a coastal path with stone steps, two tall trees, stone columns and two hikers in the distance. The overall feel is very late summer to early autumn.

A crow kicks a small ball of snow. They then start rolling it into a larger ball while saying "trust the process...". They kick more snow into a pile and stick a branch in repeating "trust the process" to itself. They place small stones. They say "Phew!" and stand back to look at its creation, which we see now is a mess of a project that looks somewhat like a melted bird. The final panel the crow says "haha it's terrible".

I often suggest that 3d artists should be watching what model makers do to help learn about level of detail and scale. They have a hard limit they cant go past and stops them going too far so they need to focuses on most important elements to sell the model. And as a fan of woodworking its amazing.

I want to change the word anomaly to something else, because it makes it seem like a horror game, but I haven't thought of something suitable yet

First real pass on UI. Still very rough but I wanted to set the aesthetic at least.

I love the idea of video game menu being a little globe. Tried that out here where each level select is an island showcasing the level art a bit
