I've been inspired by great greek painters I saw last week. So here's PBR made out of watercolor paintings. And of course, the normals were handpainted as usual. Made in a pretty modified version of UE5. #GameArt #UnrealEngine #UE5 #WaterColor

Any gamedevs here going to Develop who would love to do a spot of painting/drawing outside on the (hopefully) sunny Brighton Seafront? 🖌️🏖️☀️ If so come along to the Easel Going! Plein Air Sketching/Painting event on Tuesday 8th at 13:00. More details in the event page: lu.ma/r189qsos

Happy to share this wooden antique chest I made with Maya, ZBrush and Substance Painter. Lots of fun! 🤗

A list of reasons to make art: -horny -spite -for the bit -if you don't who will

and here it is in motion!! Many thanks to @cosmicjaybird.bsky.social for sharing her water shader techniques I've borrowed here during Into Games Env Art course last Sept! I'm a little late on finishing the project since my scene needed a hard reboot, but it's been so worth the extra work and time

I updated my portfolio site!! Come see all my professional work from Crescent County, Sea Of Thieves and other projects as well as my personal paintings and illustrations. www.cosmicjaybird.com

Uchikoshi I love you

I've updated my art/gamedev blog after like 4 years! 😅 Highlighting some of the major things I've been upto since I last posted. Also gave the entire site a liquidy makeover. Let me know what you think, there should be a lot more posts soon!✨ #devlog #gamedev www.jaybroderick.blog/2025/01/new-...

Out painting again! Just off Stroud canal, there is this old sewage pumping station that is due to get demolished soon apparently. I just wanted an excuse to practise painting some greys which I generally struggle with. #oilpainting #pleinair #michaelhardingpaints #urbanpainting #stroudartists

Late night comic studies! Read Once and Future by Kieron Gillon, which is an amazing comic with great art by Dan Mora. Been itching to do some studies of it and some other of my favs. Maybe I'll fill this sketchbook with just comic panel studies...

Love it when an ad for The Outlaws on Amazon plus plays with a line that says 'Hey Google, how do you dispose of a dead body?' Especially when my Google home starts to then read out instructions.

I need helpppp: anybody know how I can get an email contact for Nintendo customer support?? For some reason the contact form isn't displaying for me on their site after trying on some different devices.

Mannn it's so bizarre seeing my art be used as an actual album cover. 😮 So glad though I got a chance to help @rupertcole.bsky.social with the art for the Completely Stretchy Album, was honestly SO much fun to paint in oils!! 🖌️

Art vs Artist 🫡 #3dartist

my new texture painting tool is now available in Gradientsapce UEToolbox 0.1.7. Lots of nice features, and more to come! In the vid I (tried to) make this Quixel burger box look a bit greasier by painting into the roughness map (8k textures!!). Get it here (free!): www.gradientspace.com/uetoolbox

So happy to have helped out with painting this single cover! First time doing any sort of art commission like this, especially traditional. It was such a blast to paint! ✨

I went to Lucca comics the other week and watched Yoshitaka Amano paint and it made my brain melt. 💀

Hey everyone! Im a 3D environment artist from the UK who worked on Zombie Army 4 & Sniper Elite 5. Excited to post some game art content on here (and some life stuffss) and connect with fellow game devs ✌️👀 hdickson.artstation.com

Realizing 90% of the photos from my recent Italy trip are just pictures of alleyways and pipes/cables.

I'm exploring the potential of doing some illustration commissions over December/in the new year: DND character posters, album covers, etc. Either digital or traditionally using oils/gouache. If interested ping me a DM or message me on discord @cosmicjaybird

Finished my first ever art commission yesterday (painted with oils of all things!)... I don't know why it's taking me so long to do anything like this.

Game artist problem: I just got back from a holiday in Italy and managed to take up all the backup space on my Google drive by mostly taking photos of walls and alleyways.

Everyone knows you wear many hats as an indiedev vs AAA, but it's still staggering when you list all the areas you work in. Character Artist Environment Artist Narrative Design Programmer VFX Artist Rigger Animator UI Developer Business Dev Accounting Video Editor Audio implementation

The moment I became the Joker is when someone in charge of copyright law watched my GDC talk about how it's wrong to associate emulation with piracy and their takeaway was "emulation is associated with piracy."

Post your most popular art from Twitter! (Hopefully the animation works this time!) This was a tech art piece from a while back demonstrating an intersecting waterfall shader in Unreal! - Got a guide on how to do it here: www.jaybroderick.blog/2019/11/styl... #gamedev #techart #unrealengine

I couldn't find one of these so I made it myself. Starter pack of 📖 Narrative Game Devs 📖 Follow these amazing storytellers making lifechanging games. (also let me know if I missed anyone) go.bsky.app/G7uvZ4W

Roof material I made for this little enviro! It had a few settings you could change to get different patterns on the roof 😊 #3dart #gameart #gamedev

Port Symphonia. ⚓✨ Oil on Canvas. 100cmx60cm. Overlooking the Sea Of New Souls lies the pirate port of Symphonia, a place where many who start their adventure into the dream world of Levorra emerge as new arrivals from the sea of clouds below.

I went through the list I made before and added most people to a starter pack so you can just follow all in one click! there is only enough space for 150 so I will eventually make another! I'm just going through manually so some people will be missed accidentally/ran out of space

Let's give away some free textures! These sketchy tiling textures are a great base for stylized materials in Substance Painter + Designer, Blender, Unreal Engine, all sorts really! I hope you enjoy using them, and please share the love! 🙌 jakebenbow.gumroad.com/l/JB_TilingPainterlyTextures_Vol2

Thought I would post some of my art here! Here's a DnD poster illustration of all our characters from our previous campaign, all painted in Procreate. Probably the most complex thing I've ever painted! #procreate #dnd

I always bang on about 'get things in-game ASAP'. Here's a good example from our last project (Röki) where I didn't do that and it bit-me-in-the-bum™ a little. Tove's walk...

Haven't done one of these for a while! IF YOU ARE A YOUTUBER OR CREATOR! share a video or Art you are proud of and wanna see get some love ❤️ Here is one of mine that sadly didn't break 1k views, but I loved making it still 😁 #CreatorShare #YouTuber #VideoEssay youtu.be/oyPr5K3Vp3I?...

Gunna steal everything from this, makes so much sense.

Made a small #realtimevfx STARTER PACK. Feel free to suggest more VFX artist which i can add to the pack (can also be yourself)! go.bsky.app/3R8aUNM

I helped make this skybox 💖💖💖👌

I guess with all the new indie game dev people here I should offer another reminder: the hashtag #indiegamedev will put you in the game dev, indie dev, and indie game feeds. So if you're long winded like me, and always running out of letters, that's the hashtag that I think gives the most coverage.

I made a starter pack of tech artists and tech artist adjacent people. Basically if I follow you and you post about shaders or graphics you're in it. #techart go.bsky.app/EdVjYnE
