🌀I live with schizophrenia
🌲 I enjoy camping, nature and have a plein air painting practice
🌹 I have a beautiful partner and stepson whom I adore!
Portfolio:

Continuing with the 2D environment art portfolio. Today we have a very fun and spooky caravan!
Hi I’m Callum and I’m looking for a job so that my partner and I can eventually have a chance of buying a house!

Trying to nail down my concept art portfolio because I want a coveted job in #gamedev. If you’re making an indie title and need illustration support, you know where to find me!

I hate social media. I’m sick of numbers. I’m sick of pretending that I care whether people care about my art. To not believe in the power of social media feels like it requires faith in a God. To cut yourself off from the internet to trust that you’ll survive as an artist in an act of deep faith.
I want to escape. I want to crawl out, naked and shivering, and be greeted by the soft sun and friendly faces waiting for me. But it feels like the world outside has become cold, everyone looking to their black screens for warmth. It’s literally Plato’s cave.

I log in every day and make the number go up. Some days I push really hard and the number barely moves.
Seemingly connected-yet-disconnected from my pushing, people ask for things.
They hire me. Sometimes they cold-call me with work. But I’ve convinced myself that I need to push.
I’ve decided to do an ambitious project — 50 or more stock TTRPG environments you can use for your game or media. I’m gonna be annoying about this, and by that I mean I’m gonna share ART. Here’s an adventure camp.

I just uploaded my first ever stock asset pack to itch, full of towers, castle gates, villages and dwellings. 10 images at 600 DPI, PSD versions included.
Please clap for me!

I think the thing I find so discouraging about slop, more than the blatant theft, is discovering the sheer number people around me who would rather become the grifters in this hellscape than dismantle and revolutionize it.
I’m fatigued, and I think it’s because I need to be vigilant at all times in order to avoid dozens of scams every day. AI turns the public into scammers, grifters and cheats. Every weird cousin with a get-rich-quick scheme now has Muse.
Included in the Towers, Villages, and Huts stock asset pack is this tiny island fishing village. I like to imagine it sitting right at the edge of a coastal fishing port.

it's hard to describe to young folks how cool airbnb was when it first launched. just weirdos and spare rooms for like twenty bucks. we stayed at a guy's house in oregon who was a "bear safety expert" and when we asked him what to do if a bear attacked you he replied, completely seriously "i dunno."
Airbnb is banning its hosts from making guests do things like “stripping the bed, taking trash offsite, or washing and putting away dishes.”
The hosts....are not taking it well:

Debating between naming my forthcoming itch.io asset pack “Gatehouses, Castles, and Towers” or just “TOWERS.” Yes it’s funny but people might genuinely be confused because I’m including a couple of huts.

Tower sketch.
I’m gonna be releasing my first ever TTRPG asset pack on itch.io full of castles and dwellings! Stay tuned for that :)

Does anyone have a decent boilerplate non-exclusive licensing terms for itch.io stock imagery that I could shamelessly copy parts of?
Thank you!!

Hey #halifax, I’m giving a talk tonight along with several other artists as part of Nocturne. We’re doing a short walking tour of the Iota art exhibition sites and discussing our work. Would love to see you!

Nova Scotia government: “Are you sure you don’t want to be Mordor? We’d have economic stimulation!”
Nova Scotians: “We’re quite happy being the Shire, thanks! Please let us come up with our own economic system.”
Nova Scotian government: “I just purchased a firey bartering ram.”
Nova Scotians: 🤦🏻♂️

Banning journalists and media outlets you don’t like is straight out of MAGA’s playbook. And any politicians there to support EverWind who didn’t object to this or walk out are complicit.
Update: Both Joan Baxter and Jennifer Henderson were escorted out of the EverWind press conference by security. Both are older women who present no physical threat to anyone. Both behave as reporters do. But we (the Halifax Examiner) write critically about EverWind.
Look guys, I made a low-poly model, UV unwrapped it, and drew on it :)))
My first time doing all 3 of those things, ever!!
Figured if I want to get paid to make game art, I might as well learn how to model something.

Who needs a donut when you can just brute-force your way into making spacecraft?
(I actually have so much respect for BlenderGuru and I’ll probably do the donut tutorial at some point, I am just Neurodiverge and I must click everything)

My first ever 3D model, painted in Procreate. Used something simpler than #Blender for this, but eventually I’ll start using Blender and baking UVs— I just wanted to get my feet wet with Shapr3D for iPad. Painted in 2D.

I’m on a “krab kick” the last couple of days. Crabs are hilarious and fun for character (or in this case, landscape) design. They’re just so grumpy and crustaceous!

Meandering river valley in gouache. I like using a lil impasto technique with my gouache. Not the same as oil obviously, it still fun.
