We’re heading out to Tokyo Game Show in about a month to rep Cosmic Cloud Studios 👀

I don’t know many who go that far for events but if you’re going please reach out~ I’d love to chat game art 🎨🎮
Especially the stylised kind! 💜

This is truly such a super exciting venture. Can’t wait!! 🫨

We are on the same wavelength~ my entire career was build on the appreciation for PS2 graphics 💜

Gosh it's been a hot minute since I was on Polycount last. Do kids these days still visit there to do noob challenges and sharing their 3D work?
Or secretly hide this logo in their work? 👀💜

I just got reminded of Dear Esther (2012), a game that shaped me in my early career as a games artist.

It opened the door to the debate on whether this could even be considered a game or just interactive poetic art.

The soundtrack truly haunts me with goosebumps and nostalgia.

Play it please! 💜

I might not be the greatest artist out there, but I love being a director. Supporting my team, helping us grow, and celebrating what we create together—there’s nothing more rewarding. 💜

Soon we'll be able to share some truly wonderful gems my team has created and I can't wait to see what you think.

I'm a sucker for strong art direction in games. 👀✨💜

Game devs! share your aesthetic-as-hell game!! 👇🎨

That Switch 2 direct was everything ✨
The art shown was wonderfully stylised too!

Finally~ the hybrid casual/hardcore mix we've all been waiting for.

Not posting on main 👀

This is just a fraction 🍰 of the decoration assets done on this game.. it's not a small amount and it keeps growing every month.

Not to mention the gazillion custom options you have per item.

->The last time I updated this "ALL" prefab was probably a year and a half ago fyi.
