Wanted to share a recent project i finished up based on a concept by @liljelly.bsky.social More images can be found on my artstation: www.artstation.com/artwork/Ov2N5g #3dCoat #Blender #Zbrush #handpainted #3d #3dart #gamedev #gameart #digitalart
Here's something a bit different - I made this #Neopets fanart a few months ago but kept forgetting to post it anywhere. I had fun figuring out how to make the void FX in 3D! #3dart #fanart #handpainted #characterart
A Priest of the Light to counter* that Void Abomination. *kiss
I had the honor of making this painting for Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein.
I love how sparkly and glowy everything was in this zone. Little gremlin and tree guy!
I drew this kobold kid concept 4 years ago and I'm happy that it's finally in-game as part of the Children's Week event! I like to create "up-to-no-good" gremlins for my 'hackathon' projects. #art #gameart #conceptart #blizzard #worldofwarcraft #warcraft
I really enjoyed this video essay, lot of relatable thoughts in here haha
I made a video essay! It's a love letter to 3d software crammed in between several hate notes about 3d software companies. Maybe it can be something you put on in the background while you do art. :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4md...
I've made a quest-compatible version of my slime witch avatar for #VRChat! The mobile shader still doesn't support transparency but flipping the normals gave a pretty similar look 🤔
Here's the concept art I made for a kirin tor-themed armor. Coming up with concepts can be difficult but this is one of those sets that 'clicked' immediately. I never made a mage tier set so this was a fun change from warlock armors! #art #gameart #conceptart #blizzard #worldofwarcraft #warcraft
The long boys! More BfA work, so happy i got to make so many dinos.
This is a throwback but this set was one of the first armor sets I had the honor of concepting and modeling for WoW. I've played a blood elf for a long time and have been a fan of the faction since Warcraft 3 <3 #art #warcraft #bloodelf #WorldofWarcraft #3dart
This was the first thing that I made for the trading post - not being constrained by a specific raid / dungeon theme allowed me to get extra creative with the design. Setting up the sleeves & skirt took a while to get right, but it was worth it! #art #gameart #conceptart #blizzard #warcraft
I noticed a bunch of new followers here (thanks for following! :D) so I'm gonna try to share more stuff here, for now I'll mostly be posting older work I haven't posted here yet :) Gonna start with some OTTERS :D I loved making these little dudes so much, I still need to get the mounts in game lol
