If you're looking for a tech artist, you should definitely hire Andrea, she's awesome!
Last week was my last week at Iron Gate - After three years working on Valheim, it's time to start looking for new adventures elsewhere.
If you know someone looking for a kickass Tech Artist/Programmer, hit me up. Happy to work either remote, or on-site in Stockholm.

Every time you repost an artist’s post, an angel grows artillery and heat-seaking missiles to fight the forces of evil.

I'm concerned that one thing game companies will use genAI for is populating background details like fake magazines, store shelf products, and book covers. This is what they're trying to take from us. This is what's at stake. (Vampire Masquerade Bloodlines, Dead Rising, and Plastic Battlegrounds VR)
