Brake downs are hard and there is no one way to do it but my take is be concise and to the point not spending long one one part but show the full body of work and Lawrence definitely chose that approach. Go check it out and give your support ⬇️⬇️⬇️

I've been inspired by great greek painters I saw last week. So here's PBR made out of watercolor paintings. And of course, the normals were handpainted as usual. Made in a pretty modified version of UE5.

Antique Chest, Hannah Dickson I decided to create this old 17th century chest to brush up on my modelling and texturing skills after taking a break from prop creation (having focused on environments in recent years)‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎...

Happy to share this wooden antique chest I made with Maya, ZBrush and Substance Painter. Lots of fun! 🤗

A list of reasons to make art:
-horny
-spite
-for the bit
-if you don't who will

and here it is in motion!! Many thanks to @cosmicjaybird.bsky.social for sharing her water shader techniques I've borrowed here during Into Games Env Art course last Sept!
I'm a little late on finishing the project since my scene needed a hard reboot, but it's been so worth the extra work and time

Yooooo that looks awesome! Great work! ^.^

I updated my portfolio site!!

Come see all my professional work from Crescent County, Sea Of Thieves and other projects as well as my personal paintings and illustrations.

Hiii! Thanks ☺️ .We are in the very small club of DMU grad tech artists from Bristol. 😂

I'm open to feedback from peeps if there are any readability/weird formatting issues aswell, as I'm still tinkering with the html/CSS. 😅

Hi! Thanks! ☺️ I do plan on setting up a store at some point soon but trying to get more work under my belt first so it's more cost efficient to make/sell prints. I'm hoping to sell originals too.

I'll post an update when store is up. ✨

Out painting again! Just off Stroud canal, there is this old sewage pumping station that is due to get demolished soon apparently. I just wanted an excuse to practise painting some greys which I generally struggle with.

Late night comic studies! Read Once and Future by Kieron Gillon, which is an amazing comic with great art by Dan Mora. Been itching to do some studies of it and some other of my favs. Maybe I'll fill this sketchbook with just comic panel studies...

I wanna make oil paintings of these

Love it when an ad for The Outlaws on Amazon plus plays with a line that says 'Hey Google, how do you dispose of a dead body?'

Especially when my Google home starts to then read out instructions.

I need helpppp: anybody know how I can get an email contact for Nintendo customer support??

For some reason the contact form isn't displaying for me on their site after trying on some different devices.

Also buy the album!!!!!! It's out today! 💖

Mannn it's so bizarre seeing my art be used as an actual album cover. 😮

So glad though I got a chance to help @rupertcole.bsky.social with the art for the Completely Stretchy Album, was honestly SO much fun to paint in oils!! 🖌️

Art vs Artist 🫡 #3dartist

my new texture painting tool is now available in Gradientsapce UEToolbox 0.1.7. Lots of nice features, and more to come! In the vid I (tried to) make this Quixel burger box look a bit greasier by painting into the roughness map (8k textures!!). Get it here (free!): www.gradientspace.com/uetoolbox

So happy to have helped out with painting this single cover! First time doing any sort of art commission like this, especially traditional. It was such a blast to paint! ✨

I feel this all the time when trying to reach out and network and do things for potential indie stuff, very very easy to put pressure on yourself and put that mask on.

Keep doing you though Anna, the studio is great because your personality shines through it! ☺️

Already flight planning back to Italy before March so I can see his exhibition. 😅
