Tomorrow at #GDC2026 I'll be speaking at Killer Art Portfolio or Portfolio Killer Part 1 (Q&A) & 2 (portfolio reviews) with some great folks. Hope to see you there! #GoingToGDC Part 1 schedule.gdconf.com/session/kill... Part 2 schedule.gdconf.com/session/kill...

Kevin is awesome. Attend if you’re at #gdc2026

Had an awesome time working on this. Can't wait for everyone to welcome Roofus home next week.

Good #networking tip with #GDC2026 this week. Networking is not transactional. It's not about what can 1 person do for you. It's in the name, forming a net. Be genuine and focus on building relationships and finding connection.

If you are attending #GDC2026 this week and interested in #gameart please check out Stories from the Original Game Art Scene. Joe and I talked about this idea last GDC. Cool to see it realized. The folks on the panel are all amazing, ton of knowledge to share. schedule.gdconf.com/session/stor...

Brett and the whole team did a great job on this mount!

The amount of information that #handpainted #gameart textures convey on efficient 3d models never ceases to amaze me. One of my favorite things about these type of art styles. This one is an example by Chengdu Pugui education technology Co.,Ltd www.artstation.com/artwork/5Lebw

World of Warcraft: Midnight is live now!

If you are a lore/questing fan, I highly recommend only using ground mounts as you quest and explore the new zones. They are beautiful and it's just a whole different experience.

This being 10 years ago..😭🐐

When Light turns to wrath, only ashes will remain. Arator, son of Light and Void, must find the balance between both before it’s too late 🌑 Midnight Early Access is live NOW.

Making a #gameart portfolio? If you have not made a bust, don't make a full character. Start small and level up scale as your level of your skills. Applies to any discipline (enviro, chars, VFX, anim, Ui, etc). By Zhelong Xu www.artstation.com/zhelong

Creating fan art or art is great to see in #gameart portfolios. That said avoid using the logo unless you directly contributed to that project. If you need a logo to say it fits in a world is that project successful? Let your art speak for itself.
