Hey, I've still got this account on here- hope it becomes a proper twitter replacement, now that it allows video I think it should be a lot more appealing to animators. I'm gonna try to post the same mix of oscillating between mainly dino and scifi content and my own 3D art that I post elsewhere.

Some minor personal art highlights from 2025 for me:
1. StarCraft 2 Evo mod being featured on the Chzzk homepage with my old school logo recreation, I made many good assets for them
2. Made good progress on spaceship destruction rnd
3. Did a good AT-ST
4. Made a good STVI EVA rad suit model
And more

Had some questions about the legwear of the right archer

Throughout the High and Late Middle Ages (1000-1500 AD), people didn't wear pants, they wore tightly-fitted hose. When it's hot out or you're working hard, you can convert them into "inverse shorts" by rolling them down.

I'm sure we've all heard a million covers of the Dragon Roost Island theme from Wind Waker... But hey, there's a reason for that! Here is a more recently genuinely great one.

Just gonna say this again for games sphere cus we get the same question:

Networking doesn't mean schmoozing up to famous people, it means making friends with your peers. Then in 10 years, 20, one of you might be famous? And sure you're still helping each other cus well yeah friends.

Make. Friends.
Talking to one of these types at a con who asked how I 'got in' with so many 'famous writers' who I'd been talking to and I said "we made friends before anyone knew who we were decades ago by striking up interesting conversations and enjoying each other's company" and he kept re-asking the question.
They have come to the convention hoping to "break in" and then find themselves -- shocker! -- a "nobody in the book world." Yeah no shit! We all are! I have gently told guys like this a million times that it takes most of us *years* of hard work but they do not believe that could be true for them. +

It could be fun to make a brief fake StarCraft Powerwash Simulator mockup animation...

Forget that low res pic from before- Angelos has shared with me the full res of just the portion with the Bothan. Behold! Again just the head and blaster are by me. Check out his Artstation for hundreds more extremely impressive and atmospheric Star Wars renders. www.artstation.com/angeloskarde...

Everybody is saying that you should hire me to absolutely nail the look of your characters in 2026
Hey!

Do you need a highly technical character artist with almost 15 years of individual contributor and leadership experience? Looking for someone to wrangle your shaders? Or perhaps you need a person to assemble your character art pipeline?

That's me!

A fun thing about games that released in the late 90s is that you can see the concept artists switching to digital art for the first time mid-development. 2 fun examples are Ocarina of Time and StarCraft, I'll show some traditionally colored examples followed by a digital ones #gameart #gaming #art

Another cameo of one of my models in a Star Wars fan art by ECHenry and Angelos Karderinis- my bothan head appears in a small looping animated shot of theirs. Here it is on the body of a Battlefront rebel trooper, only the head, goggles and blaster are by me.

For #StarWars fans who wanted to see more STAP action in The Phantom Menace - you could get a good look at them engaged in battle on Naboo's plains... attacking Colonel Sanders and a Pizza Hut employee, in this very high budget 1999 ad campaign. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuus...

This came across my feed again so I am back with more useless video game knowledge: the repeating decorative pattern on Malon's dress (of Lon Lon Ranch) in Ocarina of Time says "Lon lon lon lon..." repeating.
(I much prefer the pre-Twilight Princess versions of Hylian where it's not just English.)

After all, why not?

Why shouldn't I stylize raymarched clouds? 👀

These past few cloudy days inspired me to play around more with clouds again ☁☁☁

So as I'm healing, I'm getting the creative spark back - here's a shot from after the battle, with some wonderful EVA suits by Robert Rose! This is totally WIP, low-sample, and missing SFX. I'm gonna add workbees and repaired panels!
