Unfortunately I am mostly known as an environment artist so I am sad to say I cannot join you in your fun Frieren looking up ish meme, but I hope this landscape inspired by Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 makes up for it.

Final Version of sketch I did other day

Friend asked me to join Frieren looking up meme, there have been so many beautiful renditions of it that I don't really have much to add but I did add some simple notes.

She is fun to draw.

This was some linework heavy concepting I was practising a few years back. It was inspired by Xenosaga.

Old sketches I did when I was learning to combine 3D and 2D a decade ago or so. One was inspired by wipeout other by Unreal Tournament and Digital Devil Saga

Old illustration of mine.

I learned a tip from Ghibli painters: the secret to making green look more lush isn't adding more green; it's adding all the colors around green—browns, greys, blues, and yellows.

I only had time to do some non Storm Hacker personal work in the first half of the year. In that time I focused on experimenting with higher level 3D concepting and look dev, creating a couple of scenes using Blender, 3D Coat, and Unreal.

Small painting I did years ago with paint they use in Ghibli films. At the time I had not painted traditionally in over a decade so it was fun. Inspired by valley town I grew up in.

"Funktropolis" Old concept I did way back for personal project. This and the sunset cityscape I posted a few days ago made it into Spectrum at the time along side my heroes. I was so suprised and honored.

Couple versions of a concept I did a decade ago. One of my first very sucessful ones online, especially on Pixiv with 20k likes.

One of the first environment Concepts I did over a decade ago.

This city is still used to this day in my game AENiGMA GAME: STORM HACKER which you can wishlist on steam.
