art by danny moll

i like the palette knife for doing silhouette iterations

who doesn't like painting some crystals

looking back you can see how i adjusted my speed/approach to doing concepts on breaker. i was really inspired by Vasili Zorin at the time and was trying to emulate his approach. wouldn't mind trying to slow down again.

old 3d labs concepts

beep boop - some drifter inspired bots

i believe this is what the kids call an OC

i'm kind of obsessed with HK Corner Buildings and bring them up in casual conversation expecting people to know what they are. i also put them into both breaker and possessors i modeled these and kitbashed over top (thinking they'd be concept only) with some greeble kits i've made/shared from an old hard surface class - then naturally handed the models to enviro who had to rip all of the greeble back out

some crystal biome stuff

some location/POI design and process for the snow biome

this is one of the first things i designed for the game, and it kept getting tweaked/changed up until the end

the bridge design for the trailer was something that I put together in 3d out of lab kit stuff i'd modeled for the earlier lab concepts - this was a lighting PO that Alx and I did that was used for the engine lighting/trailer captures by Will Tate. the animatic itself was done by Sean Ward and informed the idea for the environment. Spencer Wan and his team handled the 2D animation side and compositing iirc

the acid desert biome (and exus being a gym bro)

sometimes you need to inject more visual essence into the thing (and this is an artifact of that process)

some old life drawings (2017) drawn on the ol' surface

my main side project (:thinkingface:) is this game about a witch's familiar i'll still be sharing work from past commercial/work projects on here, and my art practice, but ideally i'll shift to sharing more personal project updates in the coming months. i hope this is interesting/appealing to y'all :3
