Hi Bsky! 👋 I'm Maxine, I'm a 3D Character Artist and I've been working in the games industry for 1.5 years (: I love nature, fantasy, literature and folklore 🍃🫶 #gamedev #3dart #characterart #gameart

Reject modernity embrace tradition

I’ve started running this year, and I have a half marathon in a few weeks. I love my weekly weekend long run but holy moly I always feel so dead afterwards lol

i think any discussion of getting into games needs to acknowledge the difference between pursuing game making as a craft vs game making as an industry

Been getting into porridge lately

A study from Google Maps of somewhere in Alaska for #PleinAirpril I want to get to painting outside more this month but sometimes the weather disagrees with me

The reason Moby Dick is the most American novel ever written is because it is about a violent white man enacting a confusing revenge fantasy against a cheap source of oil.

If you ask me about any of these games, it’ll probably trigger a 15 minute unskippable dialogue (especially Pentiment) my9games.com

Nice AI-image-generating tool, but it will never be as great an artist as Onfim, a child who lived in the Novgorod Republic in the mid-1200s and who scribbled these drawings and schoolwork writings on birch bark at the age of 6 or 7.

Life is short go to your local sea shanty festival

John Edgar Platt (1886-1967)

I hit GOLD in my local secondhand bookshop today. This was £3! 🤯🤯

I really really dislike it when a recipe assumes I own a stand mixer

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

And when the world needed her most, she vanished (Phoebe Bridgers)

"there are no third spaces anymore" wrong. blast furnace

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

Take me with you 🫀 man the chokehold this movie has on me #frankenstein

Rama Duwaji becoming the First Lady of NYC is a huge win for arty girls with french bob haircuts everywhere

I love their films but A24 is simply an impractically small paper size

Reading for pleasure has fallen by 40 percent since 2000. This is not progress. You should read because it's good for your brain, your soul. You should read because our freedoms will not long endure in a post-literate world. Most of all, you should read because it's fun.

I don’t care if it makes me a performative male… I love totes!!

3 day hiking trip in the Lake District. We hiked about 60km in total, which has been painful for the body but amazing for the soul. Safe to say my Southern mind struggles to comprehend peaks like these

I don’t know what career can top the feeling of seeing the disparate part parts of a video game come together and become something alive and more than what one could have planned for. It’s like real life alchemy, every time

look, I don’t have much positive to say about jobs right now. but growing your creative skills is never a waste. in a world that prioritizes “good enough for non-experts” and the simulacra of competence, growing a practice of critical and artistic thought helps you from sliding down into the muck.

I know this sentiment is well shared, but every once in a while I think about how beautifully powerful and inspiring these paintings are.
