This morning I was visited by a wise sage..

Unfortunately I'm pretty much away from home now for a week so progress is gunna slow down for a bit but I'm quite happy with it so far! Just got the wood and a million nuts/bolts to do now Then its zbrush time for the chips and dents #GameArt #gamedev

Does anyone know a good way to get hold of @dannyodwyer.bsky.social or any of the @noclipvideo.bsky.social peeps for that matter?

All I now know is cast Iron panels and sprockets... #GameArt #gamedev

So many bits and also bobs 😭😅 highpoly is getting close to blocked out! #GameArt #gamedev

I used to use a cube as my player scale but I never realised how useful it is to have the UE mannequin instead. being able to see the size of a human hand or where a surface would meet a body is so helpful #GameArt #gamedev

Decided I want to make a 1800s letter press as my next prop while looking for ref I remembered having a convo with someone recently about a place that restore them near me. So I rang them. 1 hour later Im at their workshop taking tons of ref pics 😅 honestly its one thing I really love about 3D art

Part one of maannnyy done. This was surprisingly awkward to do 😅 really enjoying it so far #gamedev #gameart

Sweets are at the ready and Dr Loboto pumpkin is still standing strong 🎃 #halloween #Psychonauts #gamedev

Didnt get a chance to carve pumpkins for Halloween till tonight but I decided to do a portrait of "The greatest dentist of our century" from one of my favourite @doublefine.com games With a accidental run on theme with my Grim Fandango pumpkin last year #Psychonauts #gamedev

Im naive but its 2025 I really thought we'd have grown out of comparing AAA titles "cod 7 vs BF6!!" Like one cant exist cause the other is doing well It hurts the devs and the players who might have played but have been put off by public opinion The only thing benefiting is clickbait media outlets

I have 👎 opinions about halo ce but theres enough vitriol about it and I dont like talking bad about other devs so instead I started a legendary diff reach playthrough wth a friend (On the marines head cause I noticed it have a glaringly obviously seam straight down the middle.. idk man 😅)

I collected all my workshop props together and posted them to artstation! Please check it out: artstation.com/artwork/lGvyqG #GameArt #gamedev

This morning I'm updating my portfolio and while I wait for renders to finish I've been browsing folios of junior/intern artists at a studio I would love to work at and I realised there's a super clear jump in the quality needed to land a junior role now compared to 2020/21

Saw this insane camper on my walk this morning 😂

My partner and I thought it would be super cool to have storm clouds above the dining table for our Halloween party So as always with less than 24 before the party I sat down with cardboard, a glue gun, some toy stuffing and old Christmas light and made these 😅

Its #PortfolioDay once again this one is filled with regret for me as I was planning on updating my portfolio last night with new props but I didnt get a chance to do it 😅 Im Tom a 3D artist from the UK looking for a full time or freelance in the games industry! www.artstation.com/daga

Not a day goes by where I don't think about this cabinet we found at a home removals place in cornwall earlier this year.. The walnut bur ovals framing the veneer flower art is unbelievably nice. It was only £195 but I had £0 in my account and we were 7 hours from home 😭

Y'know after finding out I had a vitamin D deficiency and buying one those fancy lighting up alarm clocks last year I really thought Id have a better time mentally when the season changes this year But can confirm thats a hard no it hit like a fucking train...

With the ceiling and curtains textured its feeling a little better #GameArt #gamedev

The compressor is finally in. I feel its coming together but something feels a little off for me but I dont know what...I think maybe the composition is off and its really not selling the scale/making it look sparse? In hindsight I should have spent more time on comp and lighting in the blockout

This one was surprisingly tough to texture you'd think it just being made of a single material would make it easier but trying to get the metal to not only respond in the right way but also not look repetitive was harder than I thought 😅 #GameArt #gamedev

I just played this, struggled in the first couple levels as I'm so used to the quake style air strafing so this setup felt odd but once I reached the levels where you unlock the bounce/ice portals the game really clicked and it felt S M O O T H Excited to see more! also love the artstyle 👌❤️

First 3 hours of texturing done! mostly just setting up custom base materials, making grunge passes and adding height like welds and knurling. Hoping to finish it off with some more specific hand place/drawn details #GameArt #gamedev #texturing

46 meshes lowpoly'd, Unwrapped and a whole lot of baking troubleshooting later the Air compressor is ready for texturing at 13k tris! Side note thank god for @marmoset3d.bsky.social etco 's baker. if I had to do this in substance I think I would have simple perished 😆 #gameart #gamedev

Some N-gons and close ups for my fellow freaks.. #GameArt #gamedev

I went from staring at a cylinder to absolutely hyper focusing and bashing this out tonight 😆 #GameArt #gamedev

If you're ever worried about the game foliage you made looking too polygonal or too symmetrical you can take solace in this flower my partner and I found at gardens this week 😅 #gameart

Finished my UVs and bake this morning before work. Ended up having to add some extra supports on some of the cylinder just for the bake but its now 3.8k tris! #GameArt #gamedev

This front nozzle with the cutouts was a fun challenge! #GameArt #gamedev

The poor little hard working abused trolley is done! Now it just needs some environmental storytelling bits that I'm planning to pile on it! Said props are hopefully going to be a really fun modeling challenge cause of their weird shape 🤞 #GameArt #gamedev

After hours of messing with material blends and vertex colours Im finally back on my modeling out workshop tools and benches shit! 😅 Ive been enjoying putting dents and bends in this little trolley because all the ones Ive owned have got battered 😆 #gamedev #gameart

My multi-layer brick material is mostly setup for vertex painting! Ive also under laid a tileable normal/AO of some metal paneling under the paint of my aircraft as it felt sparse in detailing! #gamedev #GameArt

Welp after multiple jokes it finally happened. Went to add to my artbook shelf and instead ended up like Sisyphus trying to hold up my shelf while I waited for help as it started to buckle under the shear weight of amazing art 😅 Figured its a good time to document my collection.

Finished Öoo yesterday after hearing about it on the @noclipvideo.bsky.social podcast and damn what an amazing game ❤️ Every puzzle started with "wouldnt it be crazy if you solved it like this" and ended with that actually being the solution Nama/team really pushed the bounds of player expectations

Trying a new workflow of making a tileable first then building my modular kit off it to help line things up. based off of old English flemish bond style brickwork this is the first fully substance designer brick I've done as I normally use zbrush #gamedev #gameart

Unwrapped my pillars as one big mesh with a texel density of 1024px per m then split it into 4x4m sections I then modeled some separate bricks using the same material and scattered them on the corners to give this chunky brick look! #gamedev #GameArt

I've never deleted a Artstation post so I dug up first ever environment. It was fun to compare it with my more recent work but then I realised it was posted 9 years ago genuinely thought Ive been trying to make it into the industry for 7 years but no in a few months it will be a DECADE of me trying
