So fun story, last month I didn't even know if I would have anywhere to live 🥲 I had the option to either - go with family to live in the middle of nowhere, or find a place to live asap. After a very stressful 2 months, I am settling into my new house!

Painted my cat Egg

more silly horse art to bless your feed #umamusume

I feel very split as an artist and I'm not sure what to do On one side I do 3D tech art On the other I do Gouache landscapes One the third, I just like painting silly digital stuff Anytime I do one, I feel like I'm neglecting the other, and I can't post all three on one account due to algorithms

Firestar, 16 years later ⭐ #digitalart #art #warriorcats #krita

Last week I joined @radicalforge.bsky.social as a technical artist! :D Been busy but super fun

Guess I should update here too... I have finished 3.5 years at Sumo Digital, and will be starting a new role at the beginning of January :)

Lil project turntable, we like those. It's available on Gumroad to download for £3, share it with your friends, I don't care 😁

Getting ready to upload this project 👀 Here's a final few gifs: Glowly sea glass - randomised colour based on a texture (with more and less rare colours) and object position, plus a fake glowy shader #techart #unrealengine #gamedev #gameart

Another sparkle gif for bluesky because I like them :) #techart #unrealengine #gamedev #gameart

Cloud shader - hand painted cloud textures, gradients and some simple panners #techart #unrealengine #gamedev #gameart

Little bit of stylised RVT blending on a hand painted rock 🪨 #techart #unrealengine #gamedev #gameart

🌊 A little thread of wave shader math... #techart #unrealengine #gamedev #gameart

anyone else finding they get a lot of engagement from people that are not even following on this site? Just, either bots or random people?

Turns out I wasn't making it up that I have less energy than most people... I was iron deficient, thought I fixed it but I didn't follow up, turns out I can't absorb even high doses of iron. Just waiting for doctors to tell me what to test next 🥲 Hopefully nothing scary!

Getting there! Lots of math wave work #techart #unreal

I'm sure every tech artist has experienced this

Back to the personal project grind, I re did my bird animations after a year. My mentee requested a bird shader so how I could I say no! #techart #unreal

With a few monitor changes, I have finally finished upgrading my whole set up 🩵

Eh you know what? Why not. A bit different approach to #PortfolioDay this time Did you guys know I draw pet portraits? Want your fluffy friend immortalized in art form? Know someone who wants a portrait of their pet? Send them my way.

Really great week away, lots of family food and trips, but good to be home 🌾 Lots of things to think about lately, hopefully more positive things are on the horizon.

Most of this vacation has been spending time with my dad and helping him build a new pc, he was running a 2011 win 7 build. Everything worked first try and he's delighted with the new one (after he gets used to win11!) It runs pretty well for a £600 no gpu build :)

And that's it, I'm on holiday for a week. Time to tune out and be just a person, not a game dev. Might post some paintings at some point!

WIP shore shader I was hoping to work on this a little more before my holiday but my pc decided to break 😅 I fixed it but it took a while. #techart #unreal

I hosted a technical art meetup at develop brighton and 50 people showed up. I miss it already!

Hi #PortfolioDay ! 🐟 I'm Nina, a Technical Artist currently at Sumo Digital, and I love fishes. Here's some previous personal work, and a few of my favourite gouache paintings 🖌️ 🎨Portfolio: www.artstation.com/ninaklos 📨Linkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/ninaklos #gameart #unreal #techart #gamedev

Hope everyone is going to be okay. Awful things just continue to happen for no good reason. Remember to take breaks if you find yourself doomscrolling constantly. Here's a little bumble bee I found the other day:

Going to develop brighton? adopt a little fish, they need new homes! come find me for a sticker, I only have a 100 or so. #developbrighton

Prepping for Develop Brighton, hand painted, scanned, printed homemade stickers. Quality came out great, now holographic laminate & individually cutting out 112 of them 😅

"maybe if I work hard enough someone will let me work on a fish game" me saying this to myself, year 1, 2, 3, and 4 in the industry:

this is what you could have in your AAA games, but the higher ups are not letting me add silly trees. #unreal #techart (personal work)

Everything combined together with PCG: Sand shader, houdini shells, houdini sea glass & shader #techart #unreal

Another shader I added a couple of weeks ago but never shared, some simple sand sparkles with some post processing kernels #unreal #techart

So, how many of us game devs are burnt out? ✋

If anyone's looking for me, I'll be here. Happy. Staring at a big bunch of water shaders, courtesy of all you lovely lovely techartists. THREAD OF LOVELY WATER SHADERS--->

sea glass: unreal shader + quick houdini shells & rocks #techart

After several hours I put it together 🥳 and it works! The fact that you can draw on the case almost makes up for how much trouble this case gave me

I went to pick up 2k worth of computer parts. This is what they gave me 🤨 CLING FILM and packing tape. Who did this.

Caution ! Salmon at work #Reference

I am too much of a early bird to stay up and watch the full show, but I expect all of you to @ me if there's fish mentioned, thank you

Today's plan: grab paints, paint in the park, grab a little treat on the way back 🥤🌿
