We are of the firm belief that a true #JRPG must have:
- An airship ✅
- An explorable World Map ✅
- Fishing 🎣
Here’s a #wip of the first 2! 😄

Set dressing process! I move the characters to the edge of our collider and make sure there is stuff in-camera. This is about 20 mins of work condensed down to 56 seconds.
Next, we do mesh, texture, and light bakes!

I know you're all out there grinding, trying to be the best artist you can be.
But don't forget to stop and take time to play. Have fun.
Fun gives you purpose. Fun reminds you why you want to draw in the first place.

For all the artists out there. What is your favorite tablet to use?
I used to use a Cintiq but kind of found I preferred an Intuos pro. I find that I get a bit too hyper focused on details too quickly with a Screen tablet. Does anyone else relate to that?

One of the first characters we Developed for “Stonehold” where I was Art directing. Nate Ramsey and I collaborated a ton to balance all the elements and establish our foundation for the rest of the characters.

This Nvidia keynote just feels dystopian…”virtual employees” and Automation manufacturing. Brother we can’t even get health care…. Somehow these companies can’t foresee if nobody has a job we can’t feed all the corporations the money they need for this insane expansion.

Yes! I referred to this all the time when I start out painting digitally. Absolute gold
Great time to remind everyone to check out Arne's PSG art tutorial. It covers a lot of topics quickly and applies to all art, including #gameart. Especially good for #handpainted texturing too!

This looks amazing! congrats to the team can’t wait to see how it all comes out.
On a side note the “anti-woke” brigading happening on these videos is insanity. Any hint of a non stereotypical female and making them a lead is apparent hell on earth to these losers.

Is creating content around the creation of your art part of the process or is it a result of what feeds social media?
I am curious on peoples thoughts on the added layer of “content” creation that surrounds making art and sharing it online.

Finally wrapped up the texture and rendering on Thor.
Had a lot of fun with this and had a blast during my time in the Heroic sculpting class taught by Mike Thompson at the Stylus League
Not time to learn about cutting and keying so I can make a big ol print of this guy.
Glad to be back in zbrush

And I will venture that it's the last make up FX / puppet extravaganza we will see in our lifetime. Dozens upon dozens of creations- many of them elaborate animatronics were created for this film. We utilized several make up FX studios and gave almost every creature a cameo in which to shine. Sigh
