Hey! My job at Moonshot got fragged last week and I am now looking for a new role making stylized Environment Art.

Prior to this I was Lead Environment Artist on Overwatch 2, and shipped games with a small team at Torn Banner including Chivalry: Medieval Warfare

I don't listen to new music. Instead, I find songs and albums and am convinced it's new, only to discover it came out 10 or 20 years ago

I think I'm winning a little? 😅

Some of the ref has a painted finish and some are bare metal so I think I might do some paint just to add some more interesting details

I hate the Nazgûl’s treatment of the hobbits as much as you do but the security of Middle Earth is critical in this age. I believe we can strike a balance between the rights of Shire residents and black land border enforcement with proper training and funding.

The AKS-74UB is a compact carbine based on the AK-74 designed to be utilized with a suppressor. Common amongst Soviet Spetsnaz units, it will be an integral part of your kit when playing Special Forces in '83.

Found renders of the first models I ever did in substance back in 2017

Was going to do the trend of me "20XX - me 20XX" but I feel like that trend doesnt get the point across that #gameart is a compounding skill and it takes a lot of projects to snowball. So heres a 🧵 of mine

The world should of had a similar response years ago when the first use case of GenAI was deepfakes.
“The government views non-consensual deepfake sexual practices as a serious violation of human rights, dignity, and national security in the digital space.”

The Model 653 is a key part of U.S. Special Forces kit in '83, a shortened carbine based on the M16A1 specifically designed for SOCOM use.

It's legacy lives on to this day and is in many ways the predecessor to the modern M4 Carbine.
