I still receive a lot of comments asking why I don’t do reload videos as much anymore. Hopefully this explains everything!

Someone paid to use my photography for their album art. Honestly, huge win in my books.

Built this whole environment from start to finish in Unreal 5, got a nice little fly through for y’all. Any studios looking for a senior environment artist, hmu!

These turned out pretty sweet, though I’ll need to take the second one into Photoshop and clone stamp some of those pesky dust particles out.
I hope Santa gifts me a 100mm macro lens for my DSLR so I can stop relying on my phone for macro shots 😂 #photography #macrophotography #noai #abstractart

I’ve been building this environment in Unreal 5 for a demo I’m working on with a small team. Been a long while since I’ve built an environment, and this is the first complete(ish) one I’ve ever made in UE5. Reloads and photography aren’t the only things i do lol #environmentart #3dartist #unreal5

I’ve played a cocktail of amazing games the last few weeks from 2003 - 2013 or so. Games I haven’t touched in many years. Genres that basically don’t exist anymore from big budget studios.
And man, besides some occasional okay releases, AAA gaming sucks. There’s basically no soul in it anymore.

Imagining a game where one of the main mechanics is consuming “anti-glitch” to keep the player character from glitching out to death. Thanks to @gfuel.com I made an IRL concept 🫡

My camera roll from the last 5 or 6 months. I don’t think I’ve found enjoyment in anything quite as much as I have photography.

I took photos these by peering my lens into a kaleidoscope aperture affixed to an outdoor garden sculpture, no AI bullshit here 🫡

Aurora borealis is visible all the way down here in Iowa, incredible. This is a roughly 3 second exposure shot from my iPhone. Will probably get the DSLR out tomorrow night and get some LEs

Got some cool macros of ice (the water-based non-immigration enforcement kind). With the right toning, looks very cosmic in nature.
