With all that’s going on I hope games and devs get even more political. It’s a joke cos nothing is devoid of politics especially with art but I just hope people start to own it more. F*ck fascism and don’t let them bastards grind you down.

This latest ref pack is a love letter to all my hard surface artist friends

It contains 400+ (3.1GB) photos from the CAF SoCal airplane museum, including 100+ shots of tiny details from the cockpit of a MiG-21MF

Use them for anything, just make sure to credit me!

don't mind me, just appreciating the fake UI in the pluto nash movie
a screen with a search interface titled police files. below is a horizontally split layout, left side shows authorized access only with the emblem of the department, and on right it has a list of files with many in red displaying file deleted. the style is very square, with lots of brown and orange tones looking very 70s. eddie murphy and rosario dawson looking at a screen in a hideout. the screen has various square modules with one large square reading search completed. the background is blue with a green circle on left with text labeling the terminal rotated at 90 degrees and a circular symbol. a person holding a small square device with a large screen with a digital calendar on a day view titled tuesday with colored dots on either side. below the screen is a label touch screen calendar. a screen with a video feed of a man in a business suit looking at the camera. it's surrounded by other bits of UI, like a red scrolling ticker with fake sports teams with space names like the meteorites or jupitrons, with a black box on the right with text total score stacked inside.
