I can finally share something on my page than shit posting , memes, and sports. Def one of the hardest projects I’ve done from a technical standpoint . We were trying to land this “PS1 pixelated “rendering style but somehow still feel modern .I have never had to paint so destructively in my life .

Germany gave people €1,200/month no strings attached.
They kept working, slept better, switched to better jobs, and even gave more to others.
