Hey there!

I’m Emil, a Dutch 3D technical artist pursuing a BSc at HOWEST DAE in Belgium.

Specialised in 3D assets, environment design, PCG and node-based workflows in Blender, Houdini and UE5.

Open to connecting with other professionals in the game industry!

Sketches that I think I haven’t posted before

Finally finished watching Scavengers Reign, and I really cannot recommend it enough.

I tend to not recommend too many shows/ tv stuff and focus more on games, but this is one of the most creative piece of media I've seen before.
Loved every second of it.

Go in blind if you can!

A white Star Wars A-wing scale model. Photographed against black with amber engine glow prominently visible.

A Darth Vader TIE Advanced scale model on black tabletop. A glimpse of red light visible inside the cockpit.

A copper/gold coloured Maserati Boomerang scale model car photographed on black tabletop.

A Dune Atreides ornithopter scale model photographed on white.

Things I built this year. Not terribly much but great fun nevertheless. Learned a thing or two in the process, that’s always a plus.

Happy New Year! Let’s make it a good one. Or at least try our best.

Hello Bluesky ☀️

I mainly use Blender for 3D scenes and modelling, Substance Painter for texturing and Procreate for 2D art.

However I also use UE5 or Unity for 3D environment creation depending on the needs of the project.

Furthermore I’m also proficient in Autodesk Maya, SketchUp, Photoshop and Gravity Sketch.

Closeup of a generation ship habitat section, with windows showing the livable interior volume of a rotating habitat cylinder.

Closeup of a section where giant radiators meet with propellant and coolant tanks. Radiators are still glowing with bright orange, even after arrival at the destination, as many years of acceleration and deceleration using fusion propulsion generated enormous amounts of waste heat.

Project Hyperion generation ship closeup details, descriptions in ALT captions. (2/4)

A few months ago, Initiative For Interstellar Studies team asked me to do a few illustrations of a hypothetical generation ship, as part of the promotional material for their Project Hyperion competition, which has gone live recently:

Alright, time to celebrate 600 followers with a new personal piece!

Also, thanks to everyone who added me to their starter packs. It's so hard for me to build a following anywhere because I don't post very often, so these starter packs are super helpful ♥
