I took the plunge and it's glorious! I don't usually splurge, but I had to for this gem.

It's dangerous to go alone! Take these.

Finally.

When I was a senior in college I got my first and probably best game credit in #jetsetradiofuture. Through an open submission contest, I crafted my image using Photoshop and the polygonal selection tool since I didn't have a wacom yet. I thought it

Been doing some more concepts to full 3d to lower poly 3d work. But I haven't been posting. So here are my last couple.

Decided to dust off the brushes. I'm still working on some 3d stuff. ( I need to find some work, but I can't let my first love rust.) Two imaginative, and two from photo. Ordered by my own preference.

#amiibo #arms #nintendo #collectibles

Too much time and millions of polys later. . . LAMP! Pretty pleased with my first high end modeling practice. So much more to learn, like how to turn this into a game asset or how to texture it properly (this is mostly materials). I might do some p
