Any freelance tech artists looking for work? Atm I know someone looking for an Unreal materials specialist

From just this image I can imagine so much. The opportunity for so many convoluted puzzle solutions.

Just seeing the news of the passing of John Blanche. Such an inspirational artist. The texture of his work informed so much of the world of WH40k. The layers of grime and detail, the twisting of visages. I'm glad I got to shake his hand at a Games Day in the 90s and thank him. #WarhammerCommunity

Today marked the start of my next #GameDev adventure, joining Lighthouse Games as a Principal Technical Artist. A few familiar faces from Splash Damage helped me get settled in quickly.

With the new Eradicators with heavy bolters coming in Armageddon, I can see my firstborn heavy bolters Devastors coming to the field again. I wonder if we will see other options for Eradicators in 11th? Dark Angels heavy plasma? #New40k #Oldhammer #WarhammerCommunity

Today is my last day at Splash Damage, closing out 10 years at the studio. Next week, a new adventure begins... #GameDev

I spent last night's painting session putting quarters on kneepads of the Intercessor squad for company designations. I am now wondering why I picked to do 5th. Might try adding some chipping to the marking. Anybody else regret emblems? Tips? #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer #Nerdlings

When attending a talk by Monument Valley 3 developers, it was clear how closely art and design worked to craft the game. I would be worried of losing that team relationship if utilising contractors Development costs raised in the article, I would question 3-4 year dev cycles before staffing costs

In celebration of the ROGUE TROOPER PREMIER being announced at the magnificent ANNECY INTERNATIONAL ANIMATION FILM FESTIVAL & MARKET this June, (that was a mouthful,) clamp your sensors on these POSTERS from Paolo Rivera and Chris Weston respectively-

I missed my WIPWednesday last week, but I am getting closer to having these Scouts and Intercessors at a point I can call done. I have the dreaded eyes to do... Sorted the bases in the last couple of sessions. Pigment powder for dusty boots. #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer #Nerdlings

Naming a video game you've completed more than six times is trickier.

"Film you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Wars/Trek, HP, LOTR, Marvel." ------ Easy mode by being nearly 50 years old and growing up in a video rental store. I have films I watched more than six times in a summer.

With this and Gaussian splatting to do 360 replays realtime visualisations continue to blur the lines between videogame and broadcast.

This one is near and dear. I would read comics in my parent's shop after close, 2000AD especially. With this being realised in Unreal Engine my professional interests are now intertwined with the wonder of childhood memories being brought to life. @manmademoon.bsky.social youtu.be/byd5PRryi_Y

On Friday I got dressed up to attend the #BaftaGameAwards and as usual I forget to take pictures once everything is in full swing. The awards were fantastic, with a great spread of accolades across the many amazing nominations that kept me guessing at what name was going to be read out.

All ready for the @baftagames.bsky.social awards. Is it going to be another Expedition 33 sweep?

I thought I was going a little mad, that I was doing something wrong. Nope, the backlight function in the hair shader has been broken for a decade... #Unreal #GameDev #TechArt issues.unrealengine.com/issue/UE-39061

#WIPWednesday Into the final stretch with these Scouts and Intercessors. I do have a wonder if I made things more of a faff with the sculpted chapter marking shoulder pads. I do need to get the scouts on to the current 28.5mm bases. #WarhammerCommunity #PaintingWarhammer #Nerdlings

Oh, it is a good day today

I do appreciate a maths comic www.smbc-comics.com/comic/sphere...

The Ensemble is a fantastic initiative to celebrate. Congratulations to all those in this years cohort

#WIPWednesday means continuing to work on the scouts. Highlighting passes on the armour, cloth and leather. I also got to a happy spot with my Dark Angels armour recipe, which I feel strikes the right balance between results and speed. #WarhammerCommunity

If you see this, drop some armour The relic in its most recent deployment. I've got to strip it back to make it the venerable Deathwing transport. #WarhammerCommunity #OldHammer

#WIPWednesday and I continue to chip away at these 2nd edition Space Marine Scouts. I forgot the challenges of these old minis. So many random details and mould lines. #WarhammerCommunity #OldHammer

Getting ready to kick-off my fourth year of mentoring with @limitbreak.co.uk #GameDev

Well done Games Workshop. No notes www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articl...

Friday was another great evening at @baftagames.bsky.social , celebrating the best British game nominees for this years awards, chaired by the brilliant @aoifelockhart.bsky.social #GameDev

Limit Break, the award winning mentorship program for marginalised people working in the UK games industry returns! 💖 Part of a marginalised group in games looking for a mentor? 💖 Want to help level up the next gen of game devs? Apply to be a mentor &/or mentee now! ⤵️ limitbreak.co.uk/apply

Mark the calendar. And if you are in a position to contribute your skills and experience as a mentor, I highly recommend it.

I'm not an Ork player, but I love how dynamic this miniature for Wazdakka Gutsmek is. #WarhammerCommunity #Adepticon

Wasn't expecting to see myself grinning back when I opened the @developconference.com email this morning 🤣

The thought of another attempt at the Crucible in Memories in Orbit was too much last night, so gave SoulGame Studio's Minishoot' Adventures a go, as it just got added to Gamepass. Really enjoying so far. A great mix of twin stick shooter and 2D Zelda exploration.

#Reboot was a major inspiration as I headed to university to study computer animation, so it is great to see this preservation effort. My VHS tapes are long gone.

Happy #MAR10 day

This little short ancient Ancient needed a booster tactical rock #WarhammerCommunity

A change from my usual game-related events at @bafta.org , previewing the excellent new 'Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere' documentary. Brilliant as always, with sometimes a look doing far more than a thousand words.

After today's dataslate changes, I ended up with a 50pt gap. Time to deal with the finecast... #WIPWednesday #WarhammerCommunity

I've been volunteering as a mentor for Limit Break for many years now, and it is always a joy to see when one of my mentees gets into the industry and thrives. I do hope that more studios can give what they can to this program, because the value it puts back into the industry is immense.

Let the queuing begin. I have coffee.

I will be at the guildford.games festival tomorrow, probably nursing a coffee from the early start to get there. Happy to have a chinwag about tech art and game dev in general. #GameDev #GuildfordGamesFest26

Reading through the Matthew Ball & Epyllion "The State of Video Gaming in 2026" I'm reminded of a conversation back when I started in the industry, that the vast majority of players only have a handful of titles. 20 years later it is ROBLOX. issuu.com/ballmatthew/...

Because it's pancake day. Yes, it's pancake day.

Oh, this sucks. My wife and I both bought coats from @volantedesign.us when we were last over at DragonCon, and they have been fantastic coats to wear. www.volantedesign.us/blogs/volant...

After 9+ years at ustwo games I have unfortunately been made redundant. If you are looking for a stylised 3D generalist with 10+ years experience to have on your team please give me a shout or let others know that I am available for work! I'd love to chat ✨ fensartden.com [email protected]

If you use the SubmitTool for #UnrealEngine I added an example of how to do dependent validators and a use case for why you might want to do that. github.com/EpicGames/Un...
