Got some stickers made of the Fuchikoma in my last project. Pretty happy how it turned out.

I guess this is sort of blue.

Long time no post. This was one of my last pictures taken on my 2024 Japan trip. The setting sun looked really dynamic through the train windows.

Recently got into retro gaming. I dusted off my Xbox 360 and got a PS2(never had one growing up). One thing current gen games don't do anymore are movie/tv show tie-in games. These were generally mid with lower production costs and time, but they have a charm. Modern games need more mid titles.

Yodobashi Camera Shinjuku. This is a popular photography subject so this is nothing new to what people see. But last time I was in Japan the lights weren't on. So wanted to get some shots of it the 2nd time around.

I realize that I probably have more photography focused followers than art/game dev at this point. But this is a WIP background for a visual novel mock I'm working on. I'll eventually draw(badly) an anime character and mock up game UI for my untitled game idea.

I spent a lot of nights while in Japan photographing 1000s of cars. Its not in complete focus but this was the only shot with speed lines that was good.

Street photography while in Japan. I like the idea of finding interesting silhouttes against the backdrop of illuminated screens or behind something obscuring forms.

Street photography while in Japan. I had a 1/2 black mist filter on the whole time. Honestly should have taken it off for some shots but I'm fine living with the results of it always on. Was trying to capture interesting moments of light/shadow and reflections.

My artstation recap.
Film photography with a point and shoot, Canon EOS 750qd(1988). This was right after I got back from my company party. IT was really foggy so went out and shot some stuff across the street. Also used a blue streak filter.
