Had a blast talking to @comradecam.bsky.social about World of Warcraft: Forever!
I'm super stoked with how this turned out, the @gamespot.com video crew crushed it. I had an amazing time talking WoW Forever with @aggrend.bsky.social and @artofjeffp.bsky.social at #BlizzCon. November 4 is both so soon but so far away.

Every #BlizzCon is special. This one is extra special.
I hit my 10 years on WoW and @ Blizzard. Loads of people to thank for their support over the decade. My Mom, Dad, and Brother have been supportive of every leap since day 0. Hope everyone enjoys the weekend!

Starting out with a #gameart portfolio? Break things into small, bite size projects and build up to larger scale projects. These eye studies from Joel Mongeon is a good example of that.

Fan Art is awesome for #gameart portfolios! Avoid using a project logo for something you did not contribute to. It potentially can come across as confusing to viewers. If you need to logo to say it’s fan art is it successful?

When creating your #gameart portfolio avoid padding your portfolio with pieces that do not fit what you intend to do. Show interest for your focus area.

If you are starting out in #handpainted #gameart texture painting, start with materials you observe often. Wood is a good starter since it's organic. Example by Keen Art www.artstation.com/sicuvn

Material studies are an efficient way to level up your understanding of material rendering which directly improves #handpainted #gameart texture painting. They don't always need to be spheres or cubes! They can be dogs.

Creating fan art for your #gameart portfolio is awesome. Just create something that feels new, but familar. Avoid recreating something that already exists exactly. This allows you to show your voice as a creative storyteller more.

Textures with #handpainted stylized #gameart on efficient models convey so much information to the viewer.
