Been doing a bunch of texturing practice to level up those realistic texturing skills! Model by Handy Chevrin, textures by me.

My love of Cyberpunk 2077's art style and aesthetic design continues! I spent some time recently creating my own take on the Netrunning chair, based on concepts by Bogna Gawrońska and the in-game models by the CD Projekt Red team. Check it out on ArtStation for further breakdowns and renders

In between grading for the semester, I wanted to make a small-scale prop to keep sharp. That ended up growing into this love letter to Obsidian Entertainment's "Pentiment," a fantastic display of artistic creativity and historical fiction.

Nice to do #studybuddies again! No clue what this is from, but 2 hour study from a movie

I'm happy to share my next project, just in the nick of time for GDC! I've spent the last little while completing this environment based on V's Megabuilding Apartment in CDPR's Cyberpunk 2077. Link to full project below:

Been chipping away at a new project... I've got the basic skeleton of the space done, still a couple problems to solve there. Moving on to some set dressing and props for the next little bit.

#artvsartist really embodied my shift from concept art to 3D environments and prop art! I've loved experiencing this new side of things and can't wait to see what creations and projects wait next year! #artvsartist2024

Hey all! I've spent the last several months working on this adaptation of the Afterlife, one of the primary locations in CD Projekt Red's "Cyberpunk 2077." I wanted to try and create a blend of the original concept art by Michal Lisowski and the in-game location. www.artstation.com/artwork/lxlOEe

Where we started vs where we’re at~
I’ve been chipping away at the Afterlife from Cyberpunk 2077 for the last few months, and boy has it been a learning process! Still a long way to go, but any feedback to get this to industry-level would be appreciated!

Apparently I just forgot about this place when I made my switch over to becoming primarily a 3D artist, do I need to start sharing those now too. Definitely went on a bit of a fallout kick for a bit
