The page for the indie game I'm working on is now LIVE! (I'm amazed that we waited this long to make a bsky page...) Come say hello over at @brinegame.bsky.social !

Public playtests of BRINE! It was a crazy two days, but me and the team had a lot of fun! #gamedev #unitydev

Had more of a play about today, much happier with this :,)

High poly done! I'm really looking forward to painting her. #gameart #characterart #zbrush #3dart

Happy Valentines...

Between work, commissions and lectures, it's hard for me to find time to work on personal projects! Still, I've made a little progress on Hellena since I last shared an update. No finer details just yet, but she's looking snazzier than last time! #gamedev #gameart #characterart #zbrush #3dart

It's hard to playtest your own game when the enemies are just Cute Little Guys (that explode) #gamedev #unitydev #gameart

Just got a #postal2 tat, I’m absolutely chuffed with it!

Easy-breezy cloth sims. It was a bit of a headache to keep the cloth pieces in place with pins, as I'm sure you can tell :/ #3dart #gamedev #gameart #characterart

Never shared the finished illustration I did for my WIP model! Here's Hellena, the devil's very own secretary. Loves molten coffee and good gossip. #gameart #characterdesign #conceptart #illustration

Cleaned her up a little more! I've been calling her 'Dolly' throughout the process, but I'm still not sure what name I could give her

New character model, comin' up! She's been fun to model so far. Based on a quick little sketch I did. She's actually got a mouth bag this time haha #characterart #gamedev #zbrush #3dart

Say hello to Dr. Hartley de Freyne, my latest game-ready model! I've had so much fun working on this character, and I hope you enjoy looking at his mug as much as I enjoyed sculpting it. Process breakdown & development screenshots are up on my Artstation! #characterart #gameart #3dart #gamedev

This is my favourite part of the character art pipeline- making your model do funny poses and smashing it into Marmoset #gamedev #gameart #3dart #characterart

Haven't had much time to paint this little nerd due to industry work, but he's so close to being done! #characterart #gameart #gamedev #3dart

A little break from 3D to do some painting... here's a G-Man! #halflife #hl2

It's hard to paint models when you've got the horrifically stretched flesh-face looking back at you #gamedev #characterart #3dart #substancepainter

Say cheese!

I wasn't a fan of AccuRIG's output, so it's back to ol' reliable. Pays to keep manual rigging skills sharp, anyway... #gamedev #characterart #rigging #3dart #autodeskmaya

Guess who's been rigging this week?! #gameart #gamedev #characterart #3dart

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate! I’m spending mine alone this year, so I baked some cinnamon rolls to feel better haha

Throwback to mid-2024 when I was interviewed live for my role as a character artist at Bitcrush Studio! Lots of fun, but I was absolutely bricking it… #gamedev

Recent sketchy concepts for character models I'd like to make at some point. Whenever I feel like I'm stagnating in my 3D work, I always like to do a few loose sketches and it perks me right up again! #gameart #conceptart #characterdesign

🥊Let the Games Begin!🥊 Chapter 0 of Tournament Tour: Fighter is coming on January 1st 2025! 😄 Written by @hlroberts.bsky.social Illustration (Cover and Comic) by @narklos.bsky.social Temporary Title Art by @livnimbe.bsky.social ✨Solicitation in the reply!✨ #comics #indiecomics #fgc

His face certainly changed a lot from the initial blockout to the final thing, haha. I feel like I've aged him a decade.

And that's the high poly done! Looking forward to the retopo on this bad boy. #zbrush #gamedev #characterart #3dart

He's coming along! Just the shoes, and then we start the wonderful process of retopo... #zbrush #characterart #gamedev #3dart

I've never been jumpscared by a rendering error before, but seeing this pop up at half one in the morning genuinely got me

Working on clothing details... always fun. #zbrush #characterart #gamedev #3dart
