Angeline Era is out NOW!!! ^.^ here's a breakdown of some elements and techniques I used to create the HUGE visual world of Era. Ultra-dense action and secrets meant a bigger focus than ever on visual clarity and communication! ⚔️🔍

See it in action!!

Cube-based environment art (along with melos’s “auto-cuber” tool) allows for the efficiency and complex secrets-hinting of 2D tilesets combined with the benefits of 3D lighting and atmosphere. Large “EnviroChunks” with flexible triplanar materials quickly establish setting in the background of scenes. Gestural vertex colors quickly and beautifully define characters that pop against the environment and look good small or large onscreen. iNaturalist.org can be an amazing resource for game artists, featuring species id and many public domain community photos of life on Earth! Matcap materials are good for creating shiny or translucent objects while maintaining a simplified/stylized look.

Anyone who has offered to help me financially, please instead help out PRI / Paleontological Research Institution. They run a wonderful small museum in Ithaca at risk of foreclosure. They offer special sensory-friendly days, fully-masked days, fossil IDs, and an online gift shop.

two angels stand in a burning field. one with long dark hair is impaled by an inverted birch tree, its roots in the air behind them. the other angel, with short blonde hair, is smiling and holding the other by her shoulder. with her other hand, she gestures the symbol of baphomet.

i think its good that bluesky is boring and you dont want to scroll through it too much because you're not supposed to waste your day away scrolling on social media when you could be using the computer to play & draw & learn before the corporations destroy the rest of the internet. tick tock
