Happy #PortfolioDay!! I'm an illustrator and UI artist based in the UK. I like to make fanart for my favourite videogames 🎨

The way I actually gasped when I saw some positive news on the timeline.

Wish I was still raiding in FFXIV cos the final boss theme this tier is such a banger: youtu.be/F-xJV9aHzIw

Lately I've been getting really into building materials in Unreal and I feel like there's a lot of similar DNA at work here:

Started playing Satisfactory so I'll see you all in 2027

POV: You are the one ring and Gandalf is deciding what to do with you after Bilbo has gone

Completely stunned. Vince was truly one of a kind and leaves behind one hell of a legacy. My heart goes out to his family.

Most of us did not choose to write or draw or design so that we could put products on the shelf. We chose to do it because it’s a set of skills we enjoy exercising, that give us fulfillment. It’s like asking a pro pitcher to just let a machine pitch for them. Fuck off and give me the ball.

Catching up on trailers today and hoo boy am I hyped for CONTROL Resonant.

You will be visited by three spirits.

Watching the Making of Guild Wars Nightfall documentary that came packaged with the Nightfall collector's edition back in 2006 is absolutely one of the main reasons I decided to pursue game dev as a career. So needless to say I'm very excited for this one 👀

The Game UI Database has become such a staple of my workflow over the last 5 years and I'll forever be thankful to Edd for making it a reality 💜

Introduce yourself with five concerts you've seen: Tool Nightwish Alexisonfire Biffy Clyro My Chemical Romance (I could list so many more)

This might be the best game credits I've seen 🚙

Hey folks, I often do posts calling for indie developers to link me their games so I can signal boost them. Today I want to do something similar for all trans creatives. If you are a trans game dev, artist, writer, streamer or YouTuber, reply here with a link to your work. Only one rule: no GenAI.💜

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one:

It takes a special kind of asshole to set off fireworks at 1:30am.

What if I bought the totally not intended for kids dinosaur table lamp?

Reposting cos it's that time again 👻

Hey everyone, I'm still available for freelance UI/UX or illustrative projects! I can take UX, UI vis dev, motion and art direction work. Looking for short as well as long-term projects 💪 ✨ Check out my work → cedrepradier.com 📮 Drop me a message → [email protected]

Finally wrapped up Alien Earth. And while I enjoyed a lot of the setup, the last 2 episodes fell pretty flat and didn't really pay things off in a satisying way.

Forever wishing I could wipe this game from my memory to experience if fresh again. But this is the next best thing.

"Return of the Obra Dinn" is seven years old this week. For this not-particularly-special anniversary, here's a re-cammed and narrated timelapse of (nearly) all character creation, object modeling, scene posing, and general 3D work for Obra Dinn from 2015 to 2018: youtu.be/90vqCKEEj3s

You miss one leg day and the next one feels like you've never trained legs in your life.

Follow-up reminder: if you want to use alt text but keep forgetting, there's a setting for that!

Irregular reminder that alt text on images is a valuable accessibility tool, and also lets your images show in search results or respect mute lists. For instance, I found the below image by searching "capybara alt text".

Hey Brits! I'm sure you've seen this, but quite a lot of us don't dig this move. I certainly don't. Seems invasive and quite open to abuse (and hacking!), especially looking at the shower in power and the worse shower waiting in the wings. Yeesh. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Happy Friday, time for a picnic ☀️ #StarWarsJediSurvivor

I'm listening

Spent far too many hours grinding out a gear set for a job I barely even play but as soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it.

what movie do you consider “perfect”?

Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors. The fact that they canned it after one season and left the story unfinished is frankly criminal. I mean it literally has the greatest theme tune of all time: www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9K0...

Today we're repping @aftermath.site and @kim-hu.com 🤍

them: we'll be there between 9 and 12 me, not wanting to start anything until they're gone:

Team Cherry, to the best of my knowledge, never diminished the work of contractors. Let that be clear. It was brainrotted assholes who want to insist that gamedev “isn’t that hard” and “only needed a few devs and a handful of contractors” to get this masterpiece out the door. Don’t fall for it.

Semiotic Standard icons designed by Ron Cobb for the USCSS Nostromo in Alien (1979). They're everywhere in the USCSS Maginot from Alien Earth (2025).

You ever see an ad for a cool shirt and when you click through to buy it you realise it's for kids?

Thinkin' about a boxed, teal Gameboy Color that I saw for sale yesterday. Box looked pretty much perfect but I'd need to ask to see the Gameboy itself. Assuming it's equal condition, would you pay £150? 🤔

Hey folks, my availability opens up in September and onwards! If you're looking for a freelance UI Artist or Illustrator, I would love to help! 😊I love working on Game UI, Posters, environments, you name it! 📨: Hello(@)http://Olliehoff.co.uk 🎨http://Olliehoff.co.uk

four bucks for one of the best games ever made

Quote with your red art 🔴

Ahhh, I see the internet has distilled another batch of pure 200 proof 'my bullshit'... youtu.be/zNXFEJ1xC2E?...

Excited to share I’ve joined Vessel Forge as a mentor! If you are looking to level up your sculpting skills as an environment artist, stay turned for more info. 😊

Finished Clair Obscur 😢

Went to Loxwood Joust at the weekend which also turned out to be my introduction to Trobar De Morte. Genuinely a magical performance so excuse me while this band becomes my entire personality.

I love this stupid game

The new Game UI Database server is now firing on all cylinders, which means updates are finally back on the menu! To mark the occasion, Donkey Kong Bananza, Mario Kart World, Switch 2 Welcome Tour and the Switch 2 OS have all been added to the database! www.gameuidatabase.com
