As the fourth track in the Flower Cup, it only felt right to include the entirety of Waluigi Stadium in the map. The translucent water and mud was a huge pain to deal with when it came to making the ambient occlusion look right. So many overlapping transparent polygons... #3D #MarioKart

Daisy Cruiser was the first course for which I had to divide up the map due to how the track overlaps itself. Thanks to the narrow layout, I was able to keep the layers vertically aligned without wasting much space. I had to rotate and redo the map to match the minimap. #3D #MarioKart

For Mario Circuit's map, I want to point out the icons I made to represent hazards. Each one is rendered using the course's lighting where appropriate, so the Piranha Plants here look different than on Yoshi Circuit. (Chain Chomp is just the item sprite and doesn't count.) #3D #MarioKart

Mushroom Bridge is one of the courses I was most looking forward to mapping. It's just such a nice setting. I had to get more creative with the tunnels to help them stand out against the detailed hills around them. All aboard the Wigglermobile! #3D #MarioKart

Not really much to say about Baby Park's map, so as a bonus, here's the full render of the other stuff outside the course that I cropped out. It makes you really appreciate the effort that went into the background details. #3D #MarioKart

I had to tackle a number of new challenges for my second Double Dash map, but the biggest challenge of Peach Beach was the dynamic water. I'd like to think my solution conveys all of the important information in a way that looks natural and visually appealing. #3D #MarioKart

Might as well post another random OC of mine. This is Emery, a leopard cat guy. He's very chill and low-energy. He's very good at singing, but he only likes to sing to himself in private. #oc #ocArt

Here are some high-contrast vectors I made a long time ago, using Star Fox 64 boss models. They're traces over renders I made myself, though I added some details of my own to enhance them. You can almost hear their voice lines just by looking at them... #3dArt #StarFox #StarWolf
