Sunday mornings are my favorite time for reading and writing. This morning, I spent a few hours organizing a large volume of notes I've accumulated over the years so that I may finally publish them. I'm not ready to publish anything today, so instead I'll share this quote. #longform #philosophy

The result of a successful FLUX LoRA training for the goddess of our world @holylouna.bsky.social

We are animals.

Oh. Thank you. I really appreciate it 🥹

The core principle of our environment art is atmosphere over decoration. A location must feel alive on its own, before the player ever sets foot in it.

What is post-fantasy for us?

We love classic fantasy, but we’ve outgrown identical dragons, elves, and orcs in endless medieval settings.

We’re reimagining the genre by merging its roots with the modern world, post-apocalypse, and a touch of sci-fi.

A new world is coming.

We are developing a diverse ecosystem of tamable animals, with each species designed to have its own unique abilities, gameplay roles, and distinct personality traits.

Animals are a central part of our philosophy and artistic vision. I keep refining their designs, blending different shapes and textures to achieve unexpected, stunning results. It almost feels like real genetic selection, and I genuinely enjoy the process.

One of the main goals of our environment design is to convey a sense of anxiety and alienation, while still preserving a kind of haunting beauty. I hope we’re succeeding.

Two #CoolestCats attended Teefa's Movie Night on #VRChat! 🎬 We definitely looked like we’d wandered in from another dimension, but what a blast!
Huge thanks to the friendly community for the warm welcome. More of this, please! ✨

Pressing a button and getting a beautiful image is easy.
Making it reflect your inner world is not.
That’s what I’ve been doing my whole life, long before AI.
I use AI as one of my tools, but not exclusively.
That’s why I feel like an outsider in both the traditional art and AI communities.

It made me reflect.
They call us lazy thieves, yet I work at least six hours a day, nearly every day.
Their output is a few paintings.
Mine is hundreds of artworks, videos, 3D pieces; a whole game world.
All created in my own original artistic style.

And yes, I make real paintings too

But we were disappointed to discover that the service refuses to create a female body model, even if it's just a mannequin without intimate details. So we're still looking for something better.

Here is the concept:

I created this simple character in Hunyuan3D using a single image of my own design in a couple of minutes. It also offers improved game-ready topology and simple textures. It's not perfect, but it's pretty close. It still requires a lot of work, but it saves a ton of time.

It may not be perfect yet, but you can easily polish the rest manually.

We live in fascinating times, friends. I can hardly believe I created a full 3D model in just a few clicks:

- Extract the bed from the concept and generate a high-detail version, using Gemini

- Feed the image into Hunyuan3D to generate the low and high-poly meshes, and textures

An this one is so incredible sexy 😁

The most interesting things happen by accident.
Just look at this cute little girl. Isn't she beautiful? 😇

I've been working a lot on concepts for the game lately.
And it might be obvious that I'm a big fan of the early Silent Hill games. 😅
I’m trying to capture the feeling I had when I first played those games, something the latest entries in the franchise sadly lack.

@holylouna.bsky.social walks through our liminal spaces, which we’ve been working on a lot lately.
