I do love the chibi design aesthetic.
Trash City Turbo vehicle spotlight! The Brackman MK2 Brackman's signature wide mono suction tech paired with a V-12 piston, 30 litre Merlin engine. Truly the best of Britain. Available to wishlist now store.steampowered.com/app/4484260/... #indiegame #gamedev #IndieDev
I’ve still got an XP machine that I use for digitising old VHS tapes. Was this the peak of windows?
this is a QUARTER CENTURY old now youtu.be/GAv1EwoRnec Back to 2001 on LGR today for a retrospective on Windows XP! Reminiscing on its release, unboxing and setting it up, new features, games, screensavers, and a bunch of nifty early 2000s things. Still a truly enjoyable eXPerience decades later!

hello in the time i have not been making art or being productive i have made a gentle tune if you would please listen to it and tell me how bad it is i would appreciate the feedback thank you
I don't want to be alarmist, but is this personalised ads for me? Or are my grandkids going to be turning up in ads on your computer? Also, if Gemini is let loose on my files, are they scraping my models and artwork for AI use? www.dexerto.com/entertainmen...

This is a more polished version of a clip I posted earlier. This is with better animation, lighting and assets. Trees are by PANDORA-Land. youtu.be/GsYyLpayYPk?...
I try to be more optimistic most of the time, but sometimes this is just how it feels. A humorous (?) counterpoint to all those scenes in old sci-fi films where people huddle in churches waiting for the end, singing songs of salvation. This is like the "Don't Look Up" version.
this is high art youtu.be/hkTgYiMDRHY

"Enzmann Starships" Interstellar concept. Model by @nick-stevens.com Rendered in #Lightwave3d (LW11.6.3 ) I think this will be my next LW 2026 conversion project. Working with that huge reflective ball of frozen deuterium is going to be the challenge.
The layers of evil here are hard to fathom. The big game company that is printing money and burning out their staff. Then there are the workers who will cheerfully have their co-workers fired for ONE HOUR of time off. Jesus Christ. You know Julie Stephen in HR isn't going to be working till 3am.
Wow holy fuck what a shit in principle but also at least have some selfworth and ask for more than an hour of time off for betraying your entire field www.verticalslice.news/rockstar-acc...

I actually managed to get some space art done recently! I updated my renders of the Freedom SR-1 based on some NASA concept art. Making out the details was difficult from one image, but it's nice to jump back into this. It will probably change again before launch. Also no idea where the lander goes.
I had a much simpler and more modern set than this, but I had to mess around with all this malarkey when I went to art school in Philadelphia in the early 1980s.
This case highlights transitions from the use of analog cartographic drafting tools and precise drafting compasses shown above towards processes and gadgets that could create, analyze, and visualize geospatial data in a fraction of the time it would take for human hands to do the same tasks.

Is an inconsistent style a bad thing? Two things are true at the same time: Your style doesn't *have* to be consistent. But being able to create a consistent style is a super important skill, especially for projects! I made a video about it! It's on my Patreon ~ www.patreon.com/posts/171604...
A friend of mine and I spent the whole weekend just playing the demo of DN3D. We played in coop and just wandered around in awe at the worlds that he and the other level artists had created. He has given me so many good times wandering around his levels. Rest in peace Richard. Thank you.
Richard B. Gray - LEVELORD 11/15/1957 - 10/12/2026 Just heard the news that an old friend of mine has passed on. Richard Gray - aka Levelord has departed the planet. I know he's dealt with cancer on and off for awhile now, a word that I cannot stand. Word comes from his wife Olga.
Oh boy!

Today in space: The Hera spacecraft is about to perform a hard burn so it can meet up with asteroid Dimorphos. 4 years ago, NASA deliberately crashed a probe into Dimorphos. Starting next month, Hera will map the wreckage. 🧪🔭 www.esa.int/Space_Safety...
