Doing a few environment blockouts in #ue5 for my #indiegame project and experimenting with the UltraDynamicSky plugin. It's all coming together! Mixing unfiltered textures with realistic lighting seems to work great!

Finished up the farm windmill for my current #indiegame project! Continuing in the same same retro unfiltered #pixelart texture style as my previous assets for the project 🍃

WIP - Have slowly but surely been grinding away at this semi-stylized M4 model! Trying to go through and finish this and a few of my other backburner projects over the next few months.

Slight texture variation on my jersey barriers - will primarily be adding decals in Unreal to add character to these but having a ready made striped variant will make things a bit easier.

Working on a set of Jersey Barriers with unfiltered #pixelart textures for my #indiegame project. Something really satisfying about making simple assets like this 😄

Started a small new project a few days ago - working on a fan art sculpt of the India Pale Flail from Heroes of Barcadia! On to retypo and texturing next 🍻

So, an idea I've been throwing around for years is attempting to make all the Link to the Past inventory items in stylized 3D as a daily or weekly self challenge. Maybe its time... 🤔

Okay! So *knocks on wood* after swapping out hardware and seriously considering throwing it out a window a few times... I *think* my new build PC is finally ready to make art 🥳 Here is a WIP of a semi-stylized AR I've been slowly working on with my laptop 🤣

I’m still around y’all!! 😅 About a month ago I built a new PC to get started on some stuff and… out of the 15 or so PCs I’ve built in my life this one 🤬 hates me for some reason 😭 Hoping to get it resolved soon and get back to art and indie dev stuff!

Got my low poly shipping crates into #unrealengine. Used some of my old procreate doodles to make graffiti decals. love how they ended up looking with the unfiltered #pixelart style textures!

WIP - Been a 3D artist a long time now… I’ve surprisingly never modeled any kind of AR pattern rifle… 🔫🤔😅 Still blocking things out mostly! Gonna more than likely make it semi-stylized in texture and proportion.

Back at it in 2025 🥳 Put together this low poly #pixelart texture shipping container to kick things off! My goal this year is to start posting a few things a week again.

Wrong Turn in Lost Woods
A digital illustration, a low angle showing Link and Zelda facing away. Link has his hands on his hips, Zelda is tilting her head looking at a map. In the background is Peach’s Castle, from the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario, in his boxers, is jumping angrily from the castle’s bridge toward Link and Zelda. Peach is on the castle balcony looking shocked with her hand over her mouth.
