I'm also a 3d artist, with an emphasis on hard surface! You can check out my work over artstation.com/bruner_james
Most of my artwork I am unhappy with until the last 90% when it all comes together. Tonight's little drawing never got there.
Whether it was a bad idea or just purely not executed properly. I always try to push through to find the good in it. I just couldn't find it tonight.

Working on some star wars posters for the project. Here is the first of five. Just quick paintings, real rough but I'm happy with the result.

Getting to the point in this project where I'm just about my skill limit. And need help/feedback to push it further. But before I do that I've got some minor model/texture changes I want to make still, and actually paint some posters (those are just placeholder ones I painted in the past)

Did a quick turntable, still need to address a few things but I'm really liking it. Rendered it in @marmoset3d.bsky.social toolbag 3. I'm a bit behind the times :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBtf...

Working away on the textures. It's progressing!

Another productive night, this project is officially unwrapped, baked and fixed all the errors in the bake.
Through together a visual reference guide for the textures so I can easily reference it.
Although the onslaught of ai, finding good reference images has become challenging.

I'm closing in on finishing up my project. The goal is to have it done before the end of the year. Can't wait to show it off.

Human artists!, use one piece to convince people to follow you
I absolutely love the world of crimson skies. This was an older model I made years ago, that I went back and relight and rendered it in a different scene. all as an effort to present it better.

This has been slow going, but a little bit of an update. I would say it's done with the modeling, although there is a bit of clean up to do. But I'm slowly getting there. #3dart

Hey prop artists, here's what a chair looks like in a few different layers. A helpful cut away.

To all my artist friends, another round of scam emails going around this time impersonating @thatsnomoonent.bsky.social
Be very careful with cold emails from recruiters. Always check that email address.
