a few weeks late to posting this here but I'm now a Senior 3D Artist at Otherside Entertainment (on Argos)! Exciting stuff! Here's the one piece of public concept art from the project thus far.
2D illustrated concept art of a whale covered in gold filigree, with some glass orb-looking protrusions in the filigree on its back. The whale floats against a backdrop of mossy-looking ground with various colored foliage. Near the whale's tail are two human figures riding similarly filigreed manta rays.

on top of hamfistedly forcing all their gemini features on us (to the point where I accidentally click on them all the time, despite having disabled them?) google docs is now giving incorrect grammatical "corrections" in my docs. Slowly but surely they are making gdocs unusable...
A cropped excerpt from a google document. The visible text is describing an image. The text says, "Its perfectly straight edges make it feel..." and Google's grammar suggestion has flagged "its," suggesting I change it to the contraction "it's" ("it is"). This suggestion makes no sense in the context of the sentence.

please enjoy this photo I took of a mantis who hangs out in my garden
A yellow praying mantis perched upside down on the branch of a guava tree. The mantis is partially shaded by the tree, with the top half of its body illuminated by golden hour sunlight, causing it to look almost like its face is glowing.

picked my first ever cucumber this weekend!! Excited at the prospect of making some homemade pickles (assuming I don’t just eat them all fresh off the vine…)

I’m slowly making a big crocheted blanket and it turns out making 250 granny squares is very fun, but joining them together is very difficult and tedious work 🫠

(I can’t help but draw a comparison to gamedev somewhere in there)
24 granny squares joined together invisibly. The squares are various shades of green, brown, pink, and yellow. A cat sits on top of them for scale.

if you want to see tons of different species of animals in your own backyard, just plant some cilantro, let it go to seed, and spend a few minutes sitting next to it every day. I’ve spotted so many bugs on just this one plant, it’s been a delight
Photo of a spittlebug on a cilantro stem (species is likely complex clastoptera lineatocollis) Photo of a streaktail (a type of hoverfly) on a cilantro flower, with 3 aphids perched on a stem below it. (Species is likely the common oblique streaktail) Photo of a lacewing larva on a cilantro flower. Photo of a very small metallic sweat bee on a cilantro flower.

I keep thinking about how incredible the liquids and glass look in Lost Records: Bloom & Rage. All the materials in this game look amazing, but these felt especially noteworthy-- look at that bottled water! The cocktails also swirl around in their glasses when moved, which was such a cool touch...
A screenshot from the game "Lost Records: Bloom & Rage" showing the area behind a bar, with bottles of alcohol and water. The water bottles in particular are very beautiful. A screenshot from the game "Lost Records: Bloom & Rage" showing three cocktail glasses.

in california we have hummingbird sage, a native plant that puts out these huge, beautiful stalks of flowers which are pollinated by hummingbirds! (I’ve been growing some on my patio and it smells really good, too!)

feeling very excited about all the bugs I’ve seen in my garden this past week! (I reeeally need to acquire a real camera so I can take better macro shots…)
A white crab spider eating a black fly that’s larger than its own body. A large grasshopper perched on a stalk of arugula. The stalk is covered in seed pods that look like weird small pea pods. A lacewing larvae hiding in the white flowers of a cilantro plant. A teeny tiny little sweat bee, on top of an arugula plant stem.

this is Dandy! He’s a big cuddler and a fan of being kissed on the noggin
a photo of my cat from above. He is a tabby cat with a white tummy and socks, laying on his back, completely relaxed. A photo of my cat up close, from the front. He has big ears and one paw is on his new favorite toy, which is just a white drawstring bag tied over an actual cat toy.

Laurence, The First Vicar (painted after finishing my first Bloodborne playthrough in 2021!)
Fan art of the Bloodborne boss "Laurence, the First Vicar." He is red against a black background, staggered on his knees as if he might fall over, with molten lava blood dripping from his glowing ribcage. There are borders on the left and right of the painting featuring Hunter's weapons and other items from the game, silhouetted in red.

I've been having a lot of fun re-watching the X-Files lately, which has me wanting to believe all over again (& thinking about this piece): "The Eggs-Files," 2014 🍳🛸✨
A vibrant sunny-side-up egg floating like a UFO, with the yolk mimicking the classic flying saucer "dome" and a slice of bacon in its tractor beam. The beam is a bright green color and the background is a dark sky full of stars.

A super old piece I still really like! (graphite & white ink on brown paper + digital, 2015-ish)
close-up drawing of a snarling tiger from the front. It's surrounded by a haze of pink, with pink glowing eyes. A wisp of white smoke spans across the piece.

At this time of year, when the breeze kicks them up, the light on the leaves makes them glow... when they settle you may glimpse a beast in their wake, its strange tongue bearing whispers and tidings of snow.
A 6-legged orange cat-like creature with leaves growing out of its mane and tail. It is bright & glowing against a dark backdrop of shadowy woods. There are fall leaves under its paws, with acorns, dust motes, and a few maple seeds spiraling in the air around it.

hi new bsky folks, I'm Liz! I'm a 3D Environment Artist (& 3D Generalist) specializing in stylized art. Here are some of the games I've worked on:

- Stranger Things VR
- The Under Presents: Tempest
- VVR2
- Fujii
a stylized 3D model of the demogorgon from Stranger Things, lit with creepy red lighting. An exploding grandfather clock, with visible interior gears, and shards of glass and wood. A banquet table covered in food. The table is in a green field surrounded by hills, with sunset lighting. There are two golden-masked figures eating food at the table. (From the game The Under Presents: Tempest) The garden from the game "Fujii." It is a bright room with a grassy floor. There are tiered platforms with oversized plants in pots. Some of the plants are orchids and clovers.

with an ancient splash it leaps, and sinks; the velvet void is sluiced with starlight 🌠✨

2023’s lemon pig had a real good run
a plump and mild-mannered looking “lemon pig” with very small eyes and a nickel in its mouth. the same lemon pig, shriveled up. Its mild smile has given way to an agape mouth, no longer capable of holding the nickel, and an expression akin to anguish, shock, or grief. The lemon has dried out so much that its tiny eyes now look like eye-stalks.

I made some meringue cookies this weekend but they came out of the oven a little… strange?
white meringue cookies with candy eyeballs, making them look like strange melted ghosts or weird little creatures more meringue cookies with eyes one of the meringue cookies with two faces, sitting in the palm of a hand. They look surprised. A plate full of its bretheren sits in the background. a very silly looking meringue cookie with an unreadable expression

this bunch of beasts smells like rose tea. I don't advise getting close enough to catch a whiff, but maybe a breeze will blow the scent your way
Three pink, furry, six-legged creatures resembling cats without ears. They are in different poses. One of them is investigating a little mouse. Three more pink, furry, six-legged creatures resembling cats without ears. They are in different poses, and one is sticking its tongue out. Three pink, furry, six-legged creatures that sort of resemble cats or weasels without ears. They are drawn in a way that is meant to evoke heraldic beasts.
