Loch and lumps (mountains). Pitlochry is a lovely part of Scotland.
Photo of an overcast valley in Scotland with some cloud capped mountains in the distance. A mountain in evening light, mostly covered in pine trees with some broken clouds in the sky. View over a loch, the sky is overcast but broken with hazy sunshine, and the hills disappear into the haze.

Doing a holiday, currently spending a few days in Dunwall.
A rainy view of a church tower and old houses in Edinburgh. A row of old Edinburgh town houses in the rain, seen from a window high above the street.

Started building this original '92 vinyl kit of a Jurassic Park raptor. It is absolutely *gorgeous* and excuse me while I regress to childhood.
A photo of a model of the head of a velociraptor from Jurassic Park, supported on a stand and there are modelling tools on the table.

Beautiful day for a walk, some nature, and messing about with a camera.
Grainy black and white photo of a field with a single telephone pole silhouetted against some light wispy clouds. A black and white photo of a bundle of twine hanging from a tree, looking a bit creepy and witchy. Black and white photo of a field stretching into the distance with an odd T-shaped water pipe sticking out of the ground in the mid-distance. Black and white photo of a grassy track leading to some farm buildings surrounded by trees. A deer is just visible in a field the distance, looking at the camera.

Not my home, but I know my way around

Ouch. Just got kicked in the nostalgias by a menu screen.
Photo of a Nintendo Switch console on a quilted blanket. On the screen is the main menu for Tomb Raider.

I have an XP Pen 15.6 pro - it's great! I think there's also a newer version out with better accuracy. The included stand isn't great tho - I have mine on a monitor arm and it's really helped with aging back/neck position! 😅

Tangentially - one unexpected (sorta obvious in hindsight) benefit of getting my bookshelf sorted was just the extra good vibes from being surrounded by creativity. Tasty soul-food in easy reach.

The world of Stalker has always been about the quiet melancholy for me

Been a while since I've had much time for personal projects, but here's a WIP real-world environment asset for my office

Citizen Sleeper was my goty '22, wonderful experience. So obviously wanted to give them more money.

Look at this absolute beauty!

Crikey I'm on a starter pack - here's a quick intro post! :)

I'm a gamedev in the UK! Have worn quite a few hats in both indie and AAA but mainly work in lighting/environment tech/art roles.

Here's a random selection of images from the archives
A screenshot from the game Killzone: Mercenary showing some sci-fi soldiers in a futuristic research facility with moody green and orange lighting. I was responsible for lighting this level. A screenshot from Killzone: Shadow Fall of a multiplayer map I lit, showing a construction site with exposed concrete and steel breams. A bright work light illuminates the scene in orange. A ramp leads up to the left lit by another pale yellow light. A screenshot from the game Heaven's Vault showing some lighting work I did. There is a city in warm pastel earthy tones and purple shadows. A woman and a robot character stand in the foreground. Screenshots from the software Substance Designer. On the left is a cylinder showing an old worn wooden material. On the right is a cylinder with an old castle stone wall material.
