Games Imitate Life

2023

back to January, when I finally made my very own 'Man of Progress' mug

it turns out I have just the perfect amount of strange stuff in my room for a photo shoot like this (jk, I have way more weird stuff (don't ask me about the laboratory scale))

it was already a year after I watched the show; I found the design hilarious right away, I think because of socrealism being a huge part of my country's contemporary history. it's something about it being very idealized, proud and majestic, but also an obvious propaganda. and Jayce overall just looks like a character from one of this kind of posters

the mug is store-bought, so I should rather say that I made a sticker or just painted over the original design and made it printable anyway, it was harder than it seems, but I feel like I learned more while working on this than I will at my uni (graphic design is my passion)

funny little shitposty reel I made back when I was still trying to appeal to the inst*gram algorithm gods

it's a ""making of"" this drawing the art may not be great, but I think the video really is something worth saving (a national treasure (I spend way too much time editing it))

here are some grayscale work in progress pics from before I completely messed them up with coloring (forgot how to color faces)

you think I gave up on Arctober? wrong! I NEVER GIVE UP

Vi was done on my worst day (although the 'rivarly' one looks the worst), didn't even use a ref for her (sorry Vi fans, hope it's not that bad), but I tried to fixt it a bit later; the weird creature on the very left is from that chubby dog meme, but I didn't use a ref for it either

blue was obviously my best day - I'm not saying it's perfect, just that drawing finally didn't feel as unbelievably hard as with everything else I did before and it didn't take ages to make

'tell the council I sad fuck you' is a quote from some yt video I saw recently; the context was quite hilarious and it stuck in my head

[IMPORTANT] just wanted to say that I expected around 0 notes on my first Arctober post, but it getting much more than that really motivated me to keep trying, thanks a lot

Hes a little charmer

Im so happy whit him!!!!

Heimerdinger (Arcane) 3D model (Blender + Substance Painter)

this is my first time modeling and texturing a character - it was awful and I suffered a lot (will do it again)

mapping struggles, highpoly model and some work in progress pics:

I was allowed not to do the hair retopology (it was for an assignment), so I didn't and I loved every second of not having to do it

I basically cheated/let go of a lot of things (like sculpting the details and overall accuracy), because I had to hurry

please enjoy this silly goofy simple fanart I drew in March while watching the best (funniest) anime I've seen in a long time

I went outside to take better pics of the hyena friend!

it's an air dry clay figurine based on Cackling Villager - a VRChat avatar by that-darn-hyena, painted with acrylics and watercolors

ended up translating it (although it kinda kills the joke*), because I couldn't get over how weird it must've looked like for non-polish speakers

hopefully it's less awkward now
