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!

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.

This is the kind of humour I strive for in game writing.

Hello Bluesky β˜€οΈ

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.

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.

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 β™₯
