In the center of the image is a domanaar: a giant Void creature with translucent lilac skin and wispy hair. The creature wears purple armor with small bubbles of Void energy on its pauldrons and in the center of its chest. Its arms are outstretched, taking up most of the width of the image. Under the domanaar, there is text that reads, “12.0.5: Update Trailer.” At the top right of the image, there is the World of Warcraft: Midnight logo. The background consists of a rocky landscape, set against a purple and peachy sky.

12.0.5 arrives with new adventures!

Material studies can be spheres or cubes. But they can also be more complex if you are looking for a challenge. Like these shiba dogs by miji lee are a good example of pushing things. Applies to #handpainted #gameart texture painting too!

Good #networking tip with #GDC2026 this week. Networking is not transactional. It's not about what can 1 person do for you. It's in the name, forming a net. Be genuine and focus on building relationships and finding connection.
