Today on "thats some super cool looking shit I saw IRL" This temporary crane attached to a half constructed new overpass on the motorway #GameArt #reference #gamedev

I have been stumbling my way through Gaea and UE landscape tools and I think Ive got something I'm fairly happy with! Now I just have to wait till payday so I can buy a subscription and export it above 1k res 😅 Also blocked out a modular kit for the lab buildings! #gameart #gamedev

Did this at the weekend... Not trying to sound dramatic but it was an almost out of body experience 😅 During the long quiet part of the ending scene I have never heard a silence like it.. not a single cough or whisper from the whole theatre like everyone was holding their breath #akira

I try to go to as many UK conference/expos as possible but since money was a bit tight this month and I now have to spend my weekend fixing my car again I decided I couldnt make it to New Game Plus Cut to today when I see there are multiple industry peeps I know and/or very much respect going to it

Now that portfolio day over and done with. Does anyone have any recommendations of how to create realistic mountain scapes? I'm currently looking in to Gaea and World Creator but I'm not to sure which will have the nicer learning curve #GameArt #gamedev

its that wonderful #PortfolioDay once again! Im Tom a 3D/Environment artist from the UK looking for a full time or freelance role in the games industry!

This has been my main plan of action recently. Its also nice if you dont have a lot of time to work on a whole new project #gamedev #GameArt

I was rummaging around in the attic today looking for my glasses and I found a box full of our ps2 games And in said box was my childhood favourite Indy game 🤌 Havent played the machine games one yet but its got to compete with the nostalgia of this in my head when I do 😆

So much cool industrial reference at work. Im not going to post publicly due to my work being confidential but I did find this old protective suit in the sand blasting room and felt I needed to share #gamedev #reference #GameArt

You know, I’m something of a Blender pro myself

My first re-light is done! I made some backdrop building using my modular assets but scaled up. Going for a little dystopian industrial vide similar to a Simon Stalenhag painting or @thechineseroom.co.uk Still Wakes the Deep #GameArt #gamedev #lighting #ue5

Made a little scene from some props I made for a previous project and some marmoset tileables #GameArt #gamedev

Im feeling a little more confident in this now 🤷🏼‍♂️ Im going to tackle the colour grading and LUTs last as that seems like the logical option? If anyone versed in the dark arts of lighting (light arts?😅) has any advice I would love to hear from you! #gamedev #GameArt #lighting

Sky near my house is looking super Ghibli or @alariko.bsky.social coded today 🤌

I suck at lighting! had a really interesting moment recently where a AD pointed out that this piece sticks out the most of all. They proved it by showing 4 peeps on his team my folio and asked "which would you click" all of them picked it 👀 I was racking my brain as to why and I think its value!

Life is full of horrors but I did see a dog in a party hat today so things are looking up I guess

cant think of a better word but this industry is fucking jarring.. I was at a #gamedev conf a week ago and was chatting to a certain studio's recruiter about the roles they had open rn Cut to this morning where I open linkedin and said studio is laying off 85% of its staff??? Wtf are we doing lads

I promised myself I wouldn't spend anymore money on artbooks until I built myself a new bookshelf (since the last one fell off the wall from the weight 😅) but @paddysbooks.bsky.social has way to many damn good books for sale... where am I going to put them😭

Art books are a powerful drug paddysbooks.bigcartel.com #anime #illustration #sketches #characters #backgrounds #manga #comics #fantasy #scifi

Ive always really liked turntables on artstation posts but I thought they were awkward to make today I learned you can do them in @marmoset3d.bsky.social in one click 😅 I hope everyone is prepare for me to spam them in every project from now on 😂 #GameArt #gamedev

For a while now Ive had this as my linkedin profile pic but I recently worried people might think I am not serious or enthusiastic enough compared to the normal overly smiley business centric pfp So Ive made the adult decision to swap it out for this more professional focused pic from the weekend.

Update: yes? #GameArt #gamedev

I always really struggle with lighting props/environments so for this one Im trying something a bit different I made my windows black and white so that I cant see the value of the image without the distraction/juxtaposition of the colours 🤷🏼‍♂️ Interested to see the results! #GameArt #gamedev

Took my partner to the My Neighbour Totoro play valentine's day and then stopped off at the barbican conservatory. Plant and concrete photo spam eminent! 😅

Im not saying Im old and wise 😅 but each day I realise more and more that getting older is learning how right Tommy Lee Jones was with this sentence.

Im excited to be attending my first Guildford games festival on the 20th! But I think Ill be driving down so I was just wondering if any wonderful Guildford based #gamedev 's have any advice on where to park?

If you are connecting with me without a single art post/portfolio/WIP what possible reason would i have to accept?? Im not even going to start on the myriad of "Creative Director of a company with just them as an employee" folk 😅 But if you are starting out or trying and wanna connect please do! ♥️

its so crazy to me how many students send me connect requests on LinkedIn in with not a single portfolio link/piece of art to there name Dont get me wrong I will add anyone who is trying regardless of skill level because thats what others did for me and Im happy to help but... 1/2

Probably wont post this much more until its done! but thought this test render looking cute, might delete later 🤭 #gamedev #GameArt

Time for the last 10 hour shift of making race car bits for this week 😴 No better time to tackle the Sisyphean task that is listening to the @noclipvideo.bsky.social 's boys Game Of The Year coverage 🫡 If I dont make it someone please finish my portfolio project

Added a few more layers to my paint materials and spent some time having fun with some stencils! I think its starting to come together 🤞 #gamedev #GameArt

Much like @jordanmossy.bsky.social and a few others mentioned I was really fighting bad texel density on this so I went back and re UV'd/baked. Turns out uvpackmaster borked something so now its much loser to the desired TD 😅 #gamedev #GameArt

FINALLY! The game I’ve spent the last several years working on has been announced. KILN is a pottery party brawler! The pot making system in this game will knock your socks off! youtu.be/6C11Zmc93-I?...

I was debating going back to bare metal again so I focused on getting the paint looking grimey and reducing the soft bumpy height mask. I think I want to do a highpass version of the paint chips height mask so I can get some thinner peeling on the edges 🤔 #gamedevs #gameart
