I consistently repeat to folks that they do not in fact ever *succeed* on their own. Sometimes the assistance is visible, often it is submerged. None of the USian billionaires *succeeded* on their own. In fact, most of them continue to benefit from your money, labor, etc....
Posting on instagram as a designer, feels like an act of self harm😅😬.
Shape meshing operation in Houdini, working using an image within the mesh. I went with a variety of logo png's to test flexibility and to make sure it wouldn't nuke the shape's boundaries.
Then working with VDB, bevels & smoothing.
can finally say that I've been making VFX for Slay the Spire 2 ✨ such an awesome team behind it and i feel so incredibly lucky and grateful for this opportunity !!
here's a compilation of my favorite ones so far (that were in the trailer 👀)
This is an urgent plea.

Should pin this up in the Art Center computer lab for everyone who's working or has worked until 2:00-4:00 am.

The energy in the room at Michigan State was a feeling you don't get everyday. MSU has BEEN ready to change the trajectory of our country by getting money out of politics, putting money in pockets, and finally passing Medicare for All.
I spend a lot of time visiting city workers during the day — but New York never sleeps, and neither do the people who keep it running. Tonight, I met up with a few incredible teams working the night shift.
Great write-up / follow-up on a flick that is IMO one of the best horror flicks of our young century. Viewing the cult’s smile-and-nod self deception through a Trump-era lens is fascinating.
In a country that took the humanities seriously, way more of the medievalists you’re seeking out to explain Avignon would have actual academic jobs.
it's 2026 and you're still engaging in "discourse" on social media? grow up. social media is for jokes and random life updates. discourse is for forums, academic conferences or evenings with friends.
Blender Cycles learning
Further development, adding a VHS type of post treatment. I did a mini series of these.
Different topologies. It's Blender.

From my point of view there is zero difference in how I do my job in all them roles. I have meetings and a list of tasks that I’m responsible for and all have to be handled the same way in terms of professionalism regardless of what kind of game it is.
From a artist standpoint to me there is zero difference at the core of making art you just adjust the time needed. You work to fit the art style and learn the pipeline and every single team does them two differently so adjusting is just the job. You do need to think about the fundamentals of art.
