Cant pin posts yet but I'll make one just in case :3 Hi, I'm Esther, a 3d environment artist currently working in the games industry! I'm specialised in handpainting but I do also love stylised PBR art 🌸 this is some of my work!
Took part in the GMTK jam this year as a team of three! It was very fun to design UI and get more comfortable with Aseprite and animations :) I think the game turned out quite fun! Let me know your thoughts if you try it out

Support the creatives in your life as much as possible right now. Every single one I know is struggling *exceptionally* hard lately, myself included
Burnout is clinically understood as a combo of 6 factors—work overload, lack of control, insufficient rewards, breakdown in community, absence of fairness, & value conflicts—and only a fraction of it is under your control. Burnout is a systemic problem, so be kind to yourself and hard on the system.
Hey gang I've had to learn recently that the whole "burning out" thing is real so if you find yourself being panicked every waking second that you're not working on something, despite those seconds being very rare, you should maybe listen to the signals and take an intentional break before you crash

every paper i read about generative AI mentions the limited available data of 3D models as a problem for them
yep
i'm never going to share another 3d model to a model viewer that could be scraped or bought until AI is dead and buried

Health Canada updated their Covid/Long Covid information this summer and it never made it to mainstream media. If you know odds, you'll know these odds are bad.

Covid informed folks are often branded as annoying.
If you also stayed informed on Covid and knew that it is a mass disabling virus that’s made everyone high risk for strokes, cancer, vascular issues, and that causes brain damage and immune system dysfunction, you'd probably want to warn people too

Give yourself 3 months of dedicated art practice AND:
- Draw 30-60 min a day minimum
- Draw what you love
- Surround yourself with creative people
- Analyze what is working/not working in your practice
- Regularly ask for feedback from peers
I guarantee you'll see results. 💪

Reminder that your art doesn’t have to get you anything or have monetary value. You can just make it because you enjoy it and never post it online for engagement dopamine. It can be something that’s yours, for you. Even if you’re the only person who likes it, It can be just as important if others do

I uploaded more of my work for Wayfinder! I had to make a set of Farm houses for our area called "Frostmarch", both intact and destroyed. With that came some R&D for chunky hay roofs.
You can see more variations of these houses in my breakdown:

I would love a return for more handpainted textures. There is so much more artistry there than just slapping on enough noises to make sure there's enough detail in every crevice in every LOD.

Come on people, social media didn’t make kids bad at reading comprehension. That frames the unacceptable as inevitable. Mass disinvestment from humanities education, from teaching nuance, critique, and deliberation did. Policy is the problem and policy is the solution. Eyes on the prize.
