Pavel Elagin

Hi #PortfolioDay ! I'm Pavel, a concept artist/env art generalist located in California. I have over 15 years of experience in games and animation. I'm currently looking for new opportunities starting November, for 2D or 3D environment art (or both!). 🎨 pelagin.art 📧 pelagin.art@gmail.com

Sneak peek at some new themeing in latest Kala Paint update! I thought I just had weird retro taste always spending stupid amounts of time custom-themeing my Dear-ImGui/Qt programs in the past, but turns out there are other artists who get it too 😄 Thanks Thundeer!!

Wanted to post the character sheet for Patience from episode 2 of Knights of Guinevere! Patience was such a fun character to design! I hope you all enjoyed meeting her!👑 Color deign by @andygflex.bsky.social #KnightsofGuinevere #KOG #Glitch #glitchproductions

Knights of Guinevere episode 2 is out so I can share some of the background I painted on this ep! I was only responsible for painting these, the layout/line art was done by the talented layout team at Glitch. #knightsofguinevere #kog #backgroundpaint

I can't say enough what an immeasurable honor to work alongside the brilliantly skilled artists who lend us their strength to Knights of Guinevere. We put a lot of hard work, love, and thought into this show. Thank you for supporting our team! Thank you for watching Episode 2!

It's time! Knights of Guinevere episode 2 is out now! #KnightsofGuinevere #KOG #Glitch #glitchproductions

Episode 2 of Knights of Guinevere is out! Please check it out :)! ( I helped out with some of the background paint on this ep )

Hello everyone! Unfortunately, I was laid off from Gravity Well today and am looking for a job as a 3D Environment Artist. My previous experience includes: Gravity Well, Moon Studios, Stoic, Envar, Pixanoh, Square Enix MTL, etc. The image shows some projects I've had the pleasure of working on.

I did NOT give ArtStorm Games permission to use my design in #ModernWarships but I have to admit they did a beautiful job on the model and nailed every nonsensical detail to far higher fidelity than I ever did!

ModernWarships by ArtStorm Games used my atomic ekranoplan design without permission or so much as buying me dinner, cmon guys don't do me dirty like this, cut me a cheque I'm broke! #Modernwarships #ArtStormGames

FF7 scenarios with pre-rendered backgrounds were always a mystery to me during childhood; but even to this day it's still something that amazes me. Now you can inspect every single Final Fantasy VII stage, including the 3D path + variations. #FF7 #FinalFantasy #FFVII #PS1 #PSX #RetroGame

Knights of Guinevere! Episode 2!! October 9th!!!

She's missed you. Knights of Guinevere returns October 9. The season will feature 8 episodes.

I've just updated Kala Paint, check out the latest features - full ABR import, Mesh Warp, and lots of other fun stuff suggested by artists on our Discord! Link in bio to the fully featured trial

Kala Paint is out! I'm @olawson.bsky.social , professional artist for 15 years, then game dev, now wrote the painting software I wish I'd been using all this time. GPU-run creamy brushes, no subscription, no gen AI crap, hand-coded with ideas from artists in our Discord, and more added weekly!

Some little dreamy landscape thumbs.

I decided to make a website as a throwback to when people did that. ericdagley.com

Posting/re-uploading some old sketches of mine

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things. Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

"You just sent 1600 people into one of the worst job markets in history for the industry, and you’re talking about an install base of a billion, are you fucking high?" aftermath.site/microsoft-xb...

FINSCAPES is out on YouTube! www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRLx...

This is what every game developer sounds like right now.

They do think we’re idiots, for sure

If you are aware of AI use on an animated production at a signatory studio please e-mail ai@tag839.org

Now you can keep track of how many billions the AI companies are losing on AI. (Red is spending, green is revenue.) isaiprofitable.com

Working on a Radial Grid option for the Vanishing Lines ruler. This generates N equal-angle lines around each VP. Thoughts, comments, ideas welcome! #LazyNezumi

CA’s transparency bill AB-412 (which forces GenAi companies to disclose if their datasets are using YOUR copyrighted works) is in a slow march to become a bill. Also due to massive tech opposition, they make us all work for it every step of the way. Don’t let em win, sign the petition below asap!👇

Rugose coral video is done! Full video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwkM... #SciArt #paleoart #3dAnimation #coral #reef

Ancient worlds carved and shaped by a long lost civilization.

We're so delighted to see Little Ruin featured in this article, it means a great deal :)

Recent painting of a couple of exomoons. #SciArt #spaceart #astronomy #Exoplanets

I also want to piggy back here, these are some of my Shorebreeze concepts for Towerborne. Was probably my favourite biome to work on and I'm really stoked with how it came out in the end. #towerborne #conceptart #digitalart

Another batch of Towerborne things, featuring some of my idiots

Towerborne Art Blast! I was the Environment Lead at Stoic for almost 5 years. Working on this game with the environment crew has truly been a career highlight for me. Images are from the rare opportunities I got to contribute, alongside leading all of the incredible artists listed below!

Artblast piggyback. Towerborne came out last week so I'm gonna post a couple jpegs about it I did over 4 of these

Towerborne is out! I spent the last 4 years on this project. I feel very fortunate to have been part of such an amazing Env Team, we made some really cool stuff! Unfortunately most of us are now also looking for work =/ Anyway, I want to share my first ever Lighting Demo Reel! vimeo.com/1154964572
