As a professional artist you cannot rely on motivation to get you through things. I have found that schedule and discipline has gotten me much further, and that progress helps feed to motivation beast.

Also went to school w/ Ben. He was talented enough freshmen year of college he could have started working in the industry right away with his portfolio. Instead he was a dick to his peers, many of which work at studios now. Lack of skill has never been the issue.

Heyyyy not sure who needs to hear this but I have never gotten a job when they have required an art test from me. 3-10 days of unpaid work, 0 feedback each time. It sucks. I try to always push myself to use new techniques/software during that time so it's not 100% a waste of time

Making environments is hard! As I work on the Spanish Town tutorial, I realized that while it took me about 2 months to finish the art blockout (foundation), it took another year to truly finalize it! First half was very logical, second half was more artistic/feeling-based.

Shoutout to the indie/studio folks who have purchased my #subtancedesigner utility nodes and paid for the proper license, even though I have absolutely 0 way of knowing how they get used. I appreciate it more than you know ๐Ÿ™

Today is my birthday. I still haven't decided if I get a do-over for 30, for if I've just got to skip to 34. Anyway, I'm treating myself to 5 weeks vacay, doing a cross country roadtrip w/ my wife on our to settling down in NY ๐ŸŽ‰

10 years ago today, 1 Decade, I graduated from college. I was the first in my family to graduate. It was a crazy few years. I almost dropped out multiple times, and still have some resentment about the insane cost of the education, but I know I wouldn't be where I'm at otherwise.

Overwatch has completely changed my life for the better. The game is a constant source of inspiration, as are all the folks that I work side by side with. I may not have been there for the beginning, but I am here, now for the new beginning. #SeeYouOnTheOtherSide

This is such a great example of scoping an environment project! I love the end result and smart use of time to polish what matters.

My first complete environment vs. my most recent. There were so many times I wanted to give up, throw in the towel. So many people in my life told me that art and games wouldn't get me anywhere. I'm glad I didn't. I love what I get to do everyday. #gameart #gamedev

2010 vs 2019 The Autopsy Theater wasn't my first environment, but it was the first I was actually proud of. I spent 4 SOLID months on it in UDK. Simon Fuchs, Travis Castillo, and Philip Klevestav were also major contributors to the OW Toronto scene #CreatorJourney

2019 vs. 2022 โœจ Discovered 3D back in 2019 and got hooked in a second. Crazy to see those two screenshots side by side and really grateful for all the support (and youtube videos lol) that helped me get there. #CreatorJourney

I really don't got much personal or professional art to share this year, but that's okay. I've helped a ton of folks lvl up in '23 and hope to continue that forward.

If anyone is interested, heres a bit of sales data for my substance nodes for 2021. I posted about them a few times when they released, and occasionally when Artstation has a sale, but haven't pushed them too hard or made videos. Gumroad sales were smol
