A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of hosting the "Sony x PGM Fireside Chat", with panelists Kayla Harris, Joseph Wilkerson, and Pamela Iluore. We talked about their game dev journeys, challenges they've faces, advice for Playstation Indie Devs, and ended with a live Q&A. It was an awesome chat 1/2

Finished Omori last night and man I shouldn't have waited so long to play it. It's both hilarious and devastating, the execution is top notch, and you can feel all the passion that went into it, by people who really understand the struggles they're talking about.

Extremely tired after a full GDC week but I had an absolute amazing time. I met a ton of amazing developers, ate great food, rode in a self driving taxi, and learned so much. Now to take that all back and work hard to improve!

Had a great first day at GDC! But I’ve gotten so little sleep in the last day that I’m about to crash hard

Just finished a new portfolio piece! A series of character studies using models from Paragon as the subjects. Lighting characters is something I have less experience with but I've been practicing and think these turned out well! #gamedev #lighting #gameart

Happy #Portfolioday! ✨

I'm Ethan, I've been a Lighting Artist in Games, VFX, and Visualization for about 7 years and am looking for new opportunities! I'm also a hobbyist game developer, working in Unreal Engine and Godot.

Would love to make more art friends, so hit me up!

Just saw Look Back which got put on Amazon today. It's absolutely a much watch, and its such a personal experience for artists. I can't really recommend it enough

Been trying to get back to drawing again. I haven’t done very much in years, so it’s rough trying to relearn things I feel like I should know. Regardless, I’m happy with my progress! #art #mecha #nier
