dan this is killer. hard surface is its own skill and watching the process you took is inspiring.
I always see folks using 3d models for this sorta thing and i always love to see someone just nail it without. gives it an (ironically) organic feel.

thanks, yeah custom css. I'm still learning but I love how you can style anything to fit a brand/aesthetic/vibe.
it's a really great way to feel creative when i need a break from illustration or writing.

getting scrunt from Shyamalan's lady in the water (grass wolves??) so cool. the minimal palette makes him look like he's emerging from the canvas.

amazing work as usual. love how your shape language is even more obvious on the quickest things

x y or z thing "for everyone is for no one", after all!

how do you navigate that in narrative design? like when you're working on a game with a broad potential audience but you still need that ideal reader in mind for the writing itself?
