Y'all see the Maul Shadow Lord Trailer yet? 👀

Alright y'all time for a life update. Early 2025, I decided that I was leaving the games industry. Games treated me well (kinda) but it was never what I truly wanted. I spent the last 6 months trying to fulfill my dream of getting an animation job. And as of January 2026, that work has paid off 🚀

New adventures and uncharted galaxies ahead for this guy 👀

Was at the Yoda fountain for no particular reason at all. 👀

trans people if you did nothing else this year you made it through 12 months of the federal government having your extermination not low on its list of priorities and you can feel really good about that it’s a big deal

Guys, do not use the Discord Checkpoint thing (Discord's attempt at Spotify Wrapped). It requires enabling them access to scrape your data, and has an alarming amount of private data being used for it. Make sure you have these disabled.

New Monday, new project 😤😤😤

If you guys like this, you're gonna love how I 3D model for pay (I'm looking for work lol)

Wrapping up this project was super fun! I've been working in Blender for the past few years, so I wanted to challenge myself by going back to Maya and getting a modeling project done! You can check out high res renders and asset renders on my artstation: www.artstation.com/artwork/AZbY2e

Going serious. Homeland 🇵🇭 was devastated by back-to-back typhoon which destroyed a lot of homes and displaced families. I am offering $10+ sketches. All profits will be donated to ChildHope Philippines, a local org providing basic needs to street children, the most vulnerable population rn 1/2

My motivation for finishing this new project is to get a nice and stable full time job so that I can buy a Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution

Doing final renders and edits this week! Keep your eyes peeled 👀

NEW: After my last piece about what's slowing down game development, folks wrote in to ask "why didn't you talk about bad leadership?" It uhhhh never came up. So I returned to the well and asked devs to explain why better leadership—not AI or any other tool—is vital to efficient game development.

Congrats to the all the massive wins that took place tonight. Never forget:

Don't think I mentioned this here but I'm just coming off of a small sabbatical. Lots of stress really put me on my ass and I just couldn't work without causing a migraine. I spent some time away from socials, and my desk in general and I feel so much better. I'm so happy to love doing this again

I got a good chunk of assets done but these two are my favorites so far ✨

Being laid off feels especially hard when I remember how many times I put my job first before my own health, well-being, and family. When I worked weeknights until 11pm and on weekends to hit production quotas, during PTO, and filed three stories the day before it happened. There's a lot of grief.

Got the modeling done on the chair, now time to add some irregularity & imperfections �
