Made a ton of progress on this "ancient desert ruins" area for an unannounced project. Barring the level layout, I built this environment from the ground up, using mostly Blender, Substance Painter, custom textured photoscanned assets/megascans, etc. What game does it remind you of? :) #Unreal5

Playing around with a laser star light on my ceiling. 10 second exposure slowly rotating it, shot with EOS R6 Mk2 #photography

Cosmic Marble #9 has been accepted into the Octagonal All Media show, an annual juried exhibition for both regional and national artists #photo #macrophotography #noai

This is the games writer equivalent of that guy who does reload animations with vacuums

Someone paid to use my photography for their album art. Honestly, huge win in my books. music.apple.com/us/album/imp...

Long exposure taken peering down a kaleidoscope with a lit up spinning centerpiece. Definitely one of my favorites #photography #longexposure

Bandshell lit up at night #photography

the Cybercuck chair lol "I don't let just anyone plug her" "She's low on juice, go on, charge 'er up"

This one turned out interesting, shot with my DSLR this time instead of phone. I’m open to title suggestions lol #photography

This one is my new favorite #photography #abstractart #macro

Built this whole environment from start to finish in Unreal 5, got a nice little fly through for y’all. Any studios looking for a senior environment artist, hmu!

These turned out pretty sweet, though I’ll need to take the second one into Photoshop and clone stamp some of those pesky dust particles out. I hope Santa gifts me a 100mm macro lens for my DSLR so I can stop relying on my phone for macro shots 😂 #photography #macrophotography #noai #abstractart

I’ve been building this environment in Unreal 5 for a demo I’m working on with a small team. Been a long while since I’ve built an environment, and this is the first complete(ish) one I’ve ever made in UE5. Reloads and photography aren’t the only things i do lol #environmentart #3dartist #unreal5

Tonight’s photo shoot. First two were taken submerged underwater. Idk when I’ll reload anything again I’m too addicted to photography lol

I’ve never seen ice freeze like this. Absolutely mesmerizing. #shotoniphone #winterphotography #macro

I’ve played a cocktail of amazing games the last few weeks from 2003 - 2013 or so. Games I haven’t touched in many years. Genres that basically don’t exist anymore from big budget studios. And man, besides some occasional okay releases, AAA gaming sucks. There’s basically no soul in it anymore.

Imagining a game where one of the main mechanics is consuming “anti-glitch” to keep the player character from glitching out to death. Thanks to @gfuel.com I made an IRL concept 🫡

this game is ass (new video dropping tomorrow)

My camera roll from the last 5 or 6 months. I don’t think I’ve found enjoyment in anything quite as much as I have photography.

I took photos these by peering my lens into a kaleidoscope aperture affixed to an outdoor garden sculpture, no AI bullshit here 🫡

Found a cool glass bowl at the thrift store and had a photoshoot with it. Did I cook?

It’s been a fun car to have. Harder to say goodbye than I thought 😔

Aurora borealis is visible all the way down here in Iowa, incredible. This is a roughly 3 second exposure shot from my iPhone. Will probably get the DSLR out tomorrow night and get some LEs

Got some cool macros of ice (the water-based non-immigration enforcement kind). With the right toning, looks very cosmic in nature.

Didn’t know they started selling toilet paper at the local book store

Experimental photo composite of wooden teepee structure, using forced perspective and compositing clouds, added some softness for a more dreamy look #photography

Spoopy Halloween arm reload

So much of life has happened in this room alone. I got famous in this room. All of my best content was filmed in here. Kind of breaks my heart having to say goodbye. 💔

Was invited by Gameology to host a few episodes of their “gun expert reacts” series. In this episode, we look at Insurgency: Sandstorm youtu.be/Rbzd6Ugx1i8?...

Found this quartz crystal at hobby lobby a while back for some at home photo experiments. Refraction is interesting enough on organic forms, but through faceted quartz it becomes controlled interference. Each face acts as its own micro-lens, splitting light into repeating geometric harmonics.

Experimental photo I composited from two underwater photos at an indoor botanical center fountain by leveraging smartphone waterproofing #photography #experimentalphotography #shotoniphone

Look what I found hiding in some tree bark. He’s having a little snacky poo 🥺

This is why it’s important to water your laptop, otherwise it gets all shriveled up

I know the reloads will always be my most memorable, but if I could make a living on my photography, I’d never look back. #photography #macrophotography #marbles #shotoniphone

AI still can’t do this

Unprecedented levels of oof. This is measuring a 9.5 on the oof index.

On my walk today, I found what effectively looked like a giant plant ball sack. I tore out a small hole in the suspiciously scrotum like shell and peered inside with my iPhone lens, revealing this awesome central core suspended by tendrils. Nature is cool #photography #nature

How Trump gets his facts

The hubs has been making hand painted sacred geometry Tarot cards, they’ve been really turning out dope af Please give him a follow and some love 🫡 www.instagram.com/julianschech...

Banjo Tooie was one of my all time favorite 64 titles along with Donkey Kong 64. I remade Pine Grove outside of Witchy World here in Unreal 4 way back in 2015. Never got to fully finish it as the project became corrupted and inaccessible. I still think about trying again from time to time…

Some more marble macros I took yesterday, just from the phone. What I hate about the iPhone is the severe blurry fringing that goes on. Won’t be a problem once I can save up for a nice lens #photography #macro #shotoniphone

how to fart on a plane without others noticing

In today’s episode of “days I wish I could experience again:” shooting holes in my RWS sign 🫡

I need to make more Gmod stuff lol

Some nature shots from today #photography #nature #insects #canon

A bit of HDR practice — blending multiple exposures (dark, bright, and everything between) into one balanced photo where a single shot couldn’t capture the full range of light. #photography #hdr #hdrmerge #EOSR6mk2

I’m starting real estate photography, which allowed me to upgrade to a serious camera rig. I was able to do a lot with just an iPhone, but the ability for a long exposures alone is going to be a game changer. #canon #EOSR6Mk2 #photography

This is a photo I took, no editing whatsoever. Find out in the comments how I got it
