Happy #PortfolioDay ! I'm Meri, a Los Angeles based 3D artist focusing on stylized characters and environments for animation & games. ✉ [email protected] 🎨 www.artstation.com/merimayhem 🔗 linktr.ee/MeriMayhem

Bull Run Used to hike this and it's smaller tributaries so much growing up.

Gunbuster

Top 5 animated films: 1. Ghost in the Shell 2. Klaus 3. Millennium Actress 4. Wolfwalkers 5. Akira

I don't replay old games often, but these are the ones I'll return to every few years and that are permanently in my heart.

This is a dam insult to the people that created Taliyah. And I worry that might be very intentional.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

If you need a palette cleanser.

Made me physically ill to watch this, but everybody needs to watch this. There can be no doubt this was an unjustified, malicious killing of an innocent person.

Alright, we hit the magic number. I've hit my bsky goal 🖤🖤🖤

We posting rainy reference today. From my New Year's Day trip to Little Tokyo in Los Angeles.

Human artists! Use only one piece of art to convince people to follow you!

I do love LA, but gosh do I also miss NYC

Infinity Train is still one of the best shows I've ever watched.

Never forget.

Very specifically the 2001 performance of Sweeney Todd with George Hearn as the titular Demon Barber of Fleet Street. The whole cast is perfect, but his voice especially moves me to tears. (And it's free to watch on youtube)

2025 was a year of ups and downs, simultaneously feels like a million things happened and also nothing happened. Ups: - My first full product launch with my current team - Aced 2 of my 4 classes - Featured by my school multiple times

Goku. I'd have nothing left 😭

Balancing art school, work, and major medical issues was tough. But it was still a good year for art 🖤 #artvsartist2025

When I lived in Brooklyn, I ran into Ethan Hawke walking his dog while on my way to dinner. I was actually focused on petting the dog and I didn't realize who he was until I was saying bye.

as the new year is coming around the corner, I am still available for work! The job hunt has lasted longer than ever before but I have hopes for 2026. Need beautiful vistas? Need detailed foliage? Need a world artist who knows her photogrammetry? I am the Environment Artist for your team!

Pretty sure I was in this exact conversation up at a club in Hollywood recently

QRP with your wing art 🦇

Looking back, We Love Katamari is definitely my fav from 2005. But I cannot deny I was obsessed with Guitar Hero when it came out! I would go back and forth mastering the songs in game and then learning to play them on my actual guitar.

Both of these organizations have had declining track records, but this really goes off the cliff. It is so antithetical to learning how to code or building valuable lifelong skills. Absolutely dissapointing and disheartening. Do better @girlswhocode.bsky.social & @humblebundle.com

I'm usually not one for crane games at arcades, but I had to give it a try for Frieren. Turns out I'm actually pretty good at them

Brown sugar cinnamon, s'more, and cookies & cream Poptarts are best as desserts :3

New Year's is just around the corner, brainstorming some resolutions for 2026. 1. Improve my vocabulary and include more intellectual words like cromulent.

Also, Merry Chrimbas to all who celebrate. Hope y'all are enjoying some good times with people you love 🎄❤️💚

Saw Planes Trains and Automobiles for the first time today. Somehow the one 80s movies that slipped by me all these years. Hilarious and joyful, and really proves that we need to bring back more practical effects and just having fun with movies.

Finally saw Lesbian Space Princess and it was really good! I thought it might be a bit mid, but it was a good combination of irreverance and sincerity. Especially happy how they subverted some tropes and avoided one of my personal pet peeve cliches with how it ended.

heads up that bluesky doesnt show posts from other languages by default on your timeline, and its cutting you off from a lot of the community go to bsky.app/settings/lan... and deselect any language from this setting, or else you might not see any of the new japanese users at all!

Muppet Christmas Carol still sits on top for me after all these years 🎄

9 days after Inauguration Day, 404 Media wrote about how this declassified World War II-era government guide to sabotaging fascism became one of the most popular open source books on the internet. One of our top stories this year: www.404media.co/declassified...

QTP with a robot that's not Star Wars or Transformers Hard Mode: No Gundam series, Battletech or Macross allowed

Rest in piece Vince. You were one of the few higher ups in the industry that actually made developers feel cared about. 🖤 www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/v...

My latest model! Had a ton of fun with this one and really imbuing character into it. Based on concept by @etiennesavoie.bsky.social #3dart #3dmodeling #maya

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go.

Everything else aside, how is pornhub so bad at knowing generation ranges??? Boomers are 60+ Gen X are 45-60 Millennials are 30-45 Gen Z are 18-30 They took 2/3 of millenials and rolled them up into GenX lol
