✨ Happy #PortfolioDay! ✨

I'm Leah and I make hair for games! I've spent a chunk of this year digging into more character stuff so I might actually manage to update my portfolio by December!

Blocked in some rough textures using the metahuman ones as a base but will still need some love. Also got some clothes made in marvelous. Might jump into some accessories next... maybe hair??? Or... do I go play some games

They’re here! 🙌 The early copies of my upcoming book arrived today, and holding the physical book in my hands feels surreal. It officially releases on December 26, and you can pre-order your copy here: sanderflisijn.com#book

Made a Metahuman head but it didn't quite hit the mark for me so I started sculpting on top of it. I haven't sculpted in AGES so this was a nice little experiment with a base before I do anything more detailed

We are not backing down.

Our response to @rockstargames.com's latest statement.
Rockstar’s latest statement is littered with falsehoods and disinformation - they have given multiple, conflicting reasons to explain why the workers were fired, as if attempting to reverse engineer a rationale for the dismissals. Once again, they have chosen to mischaracterise workers speaking about their working conditions in a private forum as “leaking information”. It is hard to understand this statement as anything but a desperate attempt to deflect from the global scrutiny they have come under over the last month. From the UK Prime Minister in the House of Commons, to the game developers across the world erupting in protest - all eyes are on Rockstar and their lawless attack on the people who make them their billions.

I got another foster baby last Monday. Meet Ravioli, a stray with no history. Vet says she's 'older' so will see what they say when she gets her vaccines. Also, give her a blanket and she's a biscuit making machine 💪

Question for the group; when I render hair cards in Unreal, I generally used an edited version of the Paragon hair shader. I've had a lot of people ask me about what shader I use, can I throw my edited version of the Paragon Shader on ArtStation for free? I'm thinking 'no' but need better input...

Tumblr user nocryptographer: I talked with someone who works in book publishing, and they mentioned they get a lot of AI slop these days. I asked how they know what's human-written, and they said that there's one thing that will reveal AI slop without error, and that's the author not knowing their own creation. A real author can talk about their story for hours. They love to elaborate every character, every twist, every detail. Because those existed in their head long before they ever made it to the paper. They were loved before they were written. AI slop wasn't. It was just vomited into existence. Someone who generates their story with AI will never bond with their story the way real writers do. That's why they may not know what to say when they're asked why did the character do this, or even remember the scene in the first place. It's something they read, not something they wrote. And to a writer, those are not the same. There's a unique bond between the creator and the creation. If your writing doesn't come of you, you'll always lack that. I keep hearing soon we won't be able to tell. And perhaps, in a superficial sense, that's true. But there is a difference. It's not em dashes or repeated words. It's whether the story was made by someone who loves it and cares about it. If the writer's eyes light up when asked why did the character do that? and they start their very own Ted Talk about that specific scene... then it's real.

New arrival! This is Ravioli, an older stray found wandering and handed in to the local vet. She got a little tatty ear and a scraped nose but is very soft ❤️

Doing the base layer on Millenia's hair

it looks pretty intimidating until you realize it's basically three huge ponytails woven with an amount of hair worth of Hatsune Miku
