So… Where have I been? Answer: I found out designing game mechanics is hard 😂 Good news is thanks to lots of pen and paper play testing, prototyping… and excessive amounts of Redbull… my game project is shaping itself into something decent! Will share more soonish! 😎

finished my lil hand study. probs 2-3 hour #pixelart

Thank you! Here's more of me messing around with it. Probably why it's never ending ;]

I made a quick render of a barrel. I'm gonna need more dirt and details on the wood and the decals, and maybe more written stuff on the side. #Blender3D #B3D #SubstancePainter #3DArt

WIP - Started blocking out a new crashed starship environment piece in #UE5🚀 #gameart #3dart #UnrealEngine5 #environmentart

Lofi double barrel shotgun for my #indiegame project! Will have lots more to show in the coming months! #gameart #3dart #indiedev #solodev #pixelart

Finished up textures for the first lofi weapon for my current #indiegame project. Will have more renders to show tomorrow! #gameart #3dart #3DModel #pixelart #indiedev #solodev

Working on the blockout for my next #pokemonfanart sculpt! #gameart #3dart #zbrush #3dsculpt

Just finished up some lo-fi modular fortress walls for my #indiegame project! Going to get them into Unreal tonight. #gameart #3dart #indiedev #solodev #pixelart

Working on some small lofi background assets for one of my #indiegame projects. #gameart #3dart #indiedev #solodev #pixelart

Happy New Year everyone! Wrapped up my Koffing fan art last night! #gameart #3dart #Fanart #pokemonfanart #pokemon #koffing #substancepainter

Closing out the year with a quick fan art #zbrush sculpt of my wife's favorite Pokemon Koffing! #gameart #3dart #Fanart #pokemonfanart #pokemon #koffing

Dang alright then.. *puts Uzi away*

Finally got around to painting my Skeletor print! 💀 #3dprint #3dart

Started working on stuff for my platformer game again and... well... never mind… I regret nothing. #gameart #3dart #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #zbrush

Just wrapped up my most recent personal 3d project - a custom Bushcraft Knife 🔪 #gameart #3dart #3dmodeling #3dartist #gameartist

WIP - 95% of the way there! Just need to do a bit of texture polish and clean final renders! #gameart #3dart #3dmodeling

WIP - Been looking to add some fresh personal work to my portfolio started a quick new project! Working on a realistic knife and kydex sheath. #gameart #3dart #3dmodeling

WIP - Wanted to share a bit of progress I made on my helipad scene in #UE5 🚁 #gameart #3dart #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #UnrealEngine5

Doing a few environment blockouts in #ue5 for my #indiegame project and experimenting with the UltraDynamicSky plugin. It's all coming together! Mixing unfiltered textures with realistic lighting seems to work great! #gameart #3dart #pixelart #indiedev #solodev #UnrealEngine

Picked up an artbook that’s been on my list for a while! 🎨

Finished up the farm windmill for my current #indiegame project! Continuing in the same same retro unfiltered #pixelart texture style as my previous assets for the project 🍃 #gameart #3dart #indiedev #solodev #wastelandvibes

WIP - Have slowly but surely been grinding away at this semi-stylized M4 model! Trying to go through and finish this and a few of my other backburner projects over the next few months. #gameart #3dart

Slight texture variation on my jersey barriers - will primarily be adding decals in Unreal to add character to these but having a ready made striped variant will make things a bit easier. #gameart #3dart #indiedev #solodev #pixelart

Working on a set of Jersey Barriers with unfiltered #pixelart textures for my #indiegame project. Something really satisfying about making simple assets like this 😄 #gameart #3dart #indiedev #solodev

Finished up the wasteland windmill for my current #indiegame project! First asset I've finished up in a quite a while with retro style unfiltered #pixelart textures 🌪️ #gameart #3dart #indiedev #solodev #wastelandvibes

WIP - Working on a pair of windmill assets for one of my #indiegame projects. #gameart #3dart #indiedev #solodev

Started a small new project a few days ago - working on a fan art sculpt of the India Pale Flail from Heroes of Barcadia! On to retypo and texturing next 🍻 #gameart #3dart #zbrush #heroesofbarcadia

So, an idea I've been throwing around for years is attempting to make all the Link to the Past inventory items in stylized 3D as a daily or weekly self challenge. Maybe its time... 🤔 #3Dartist #3dart #gameart

Okay! So *knocks on wood* after swapping out hardware and seriously considering throwing it out a window a few times... I *think* my new build PC is finally ready to make art 🥳 Here is a WIP of a semi-stylized AR I've been slowly working on with my laptop 🤣 #gameart #3dart

I’m still around y’all!! 😅 About a month ago I built a new PC to get started on some stuff and… out of the 15 or so PCs I’ve built in my life this one 🤬 hates me for some reason 😭 Hoping to get it resolved soon and get back to art and indie dev stuff!

Kingdom Hearts 2 #lowpoly #pixelart

Built my first new PC in 8-9 years… couldn’t resist customizing a bit 🤣💀

Got my low poly shipping crates into #unrealengine. Used some of my old procreate doodles to make graffiti decals. love how they ended up looking with the unfiltered #pixelart style textures! #gameart #3dart #indiedev #solodev #ue5 #screenshotsaturday

WIP - Been a 3D artist a long time now… I’ve surprisingly never modeled any kind of AR pattern rifle… 🔫🤔😅 Still blocking things out mostly! Gonna more than likely make it semi-stylized in texture and proportion. #gameart #3dart #3dartist #wip

Back at it in 2025 🥳 Put together this low poly #pixelart texture shipping container to kick things off! My goal this year is to start posting a few things a week again. #gameart #3dart #indiedev #solodev

Wrong Turn in Lost Woods

My favorite pieces from 2024 #gameart (Videos in replies)

Damn it was a busy year! #ArtStationRecap2024

Eyes from a bunch of the Bounty cast

While I am here, just thought I would show a bit of my latest WIP project in UE5, Zbrush, Blender, and Photoshop. Almost finished. Will keep sharing more, and I would like to share some tips and tricks for how I make my 3D environments in the future. Anything you would like to know?

New update on the stove. WIP basecolor: #b3d #stylizedart #handpainted #wipart :

Its fiiiinished! Absolutely stoked with how this one turned out, though im very eager to never ever open this Painter file again lmao (And also start making things that aren't weapons in the New Year) artstation.com/artwork/QXexzB

Some sculpting progress on my Glaive Weapon this morning. Enjoying this one, its a little different and I'm liking the progress so far. Might tone back some of the detail on the blade though before finishing it at some point. #Zbrush #GameArt

Alllright… so I took a little break while I was getting settled into my new job… then admittedly got distracted by STALKER 2 for a bit ☢️… but time to get back to doing art again! 😆

If you're wondering what this thing does, I recorded me using this earlier this year. You might notice my mouse in the middle of the screen not moving. This entire video is just me using the 3D mouse in my left hand and nothing else. Imagine trying to do this with keyboard and mouse navigation 😉

Happy 30th! #PlayStation

OKokokok I was able to finish one more side project before stalker 2 dropped. This is some #huntShowdown fanart of the New Army pistol! Super fun little project honestly. I've been slacking on more realistic stuff in my portfolio, and always love switching it up. #3D #b3d #gameart #realism

Wrapped up my stylized Pokéball fan art project! #gameart #3dart #3dmodeling #pokemonfanart
