#PortfolioDay Hello! I am Linus from Sweden, and these are some of my concept pieces. Currently looking for new opportunities :)

Random house as I imagined it in Luthadel (Mistborn)

I may be a little day for this but here's my #PortfolioDay I'm Stefano from Italy. I make concept art for games and movies :))

My friend Justin Croteau started putting his stuff on Artstation artstation.com/justincroteau. His paintings are stunning. Check him out!

your daily reminder that Blender is a free tool

Mistborn has a massive domed hall with a wooden house in it, so I thought it would be fun to try something

Here are a few more images . I don't do interiors often, but this was fun to do. artstation.com/artwork/ZlmPq…

Posted something on Artstation for the first time in a while!

My last Hytale-related post... I’ve never been vocal about anything controversial or political. I’ve always kept my head down, focused on art, game dev, and supporting people around me. But after 4 years working on Hytale, I reached a point where I felt like I had to speak my own personal experience. Working at this studio was honestly exhausting. I’d share ideas or concerns and get brushed off, until someone with a more impressive title said the same thing, and suddenly it was treated like genius. When I challenged decisions that felt unproductive or inefficient, I was called 'difficult' or told I couldn't take feedback. It was also obvious some people were only there because of who they knew, not what they brought. I tried to suggest ways to lay proper groundwork and improve our workflow, but it was always dismissed if it wasn’t visually flashy or immediately showable, it just didn’t matter. The words 'burnout' and 'crunch' were thrown around like things we shouldn’t ever say, but in reality, there was constant pressure and late-stage work pushes … usually from last-minute requests. And if you couldn’t keep up, you just didn’t produce enough visuals to be seen as performing. The whole thing was gaslighting and over time, it made me question my value, my own knowledge, and eventually, I was just dreading to wake up and repeat. To be clear… there were a lot of wonderful, talented people I truly enjoyed working with during my time there. There were fun, meaningful moments, and teams and individuals who inspired me, supported me, and gave their best. This isn’t about everyone. It’s about a culture that slowly wore me down. I’ve been warned not to speak up and that sharing my experience could hurt former coworkers, or make me look unprofessional. I was told not to burn bridges, to stay quiet for the sake of my future. But the truth is, this experience drained me so deeply, I have no interest in keeping those bridges. If being honest about how toxic the experience truly was pushes some people or studios away, then they were never people I wanted to work with in the first place. Staying silent is part of the cycle — and I’m done with that. There are more ways to stay and work in this industry than staying silent and kissing big corporate ass. Thank you.

I read the first book of Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson and couldn't wait to try visualizing some of the places environments. Here is a few explorations of Luthadel #conceptart

Hi! Happy #PortfolioDay I'm Baptiste, a 3D Environment Concept Designer / Concept Artist. I haven't been able to post much since last time, but here are some of my creations.

working on my version of Kredik Shaw from Mistborn, a little bit of a sketch for ya #mistborn #gothic

My wife was in the ER, surrounded by doctors urgently checking her symptoms for signs of a stroke. In that moment, I was reminded once again of how fragile life truly is. Overwhelmed with emotions, I felt a profound need to express them. This is the expression

Congrats to Pinterest for successfully killing Pinterest. This is what happens when you don't ban AI images. I was looking for reference and this is the first thing I see. Pinterest used to be the best ref tool, and it's no longer usable in the slightest.

Kyoto Coffee - artstation.com/artwork/dKxZl… After the layoff a couple of weeks ago I decided to finish up this project that i worked on. Thanks to all the nice colleges giving feedback and sitting in while working on this, i will miss you and the studio!

To rt my work is to commit a crime against the the structure of the universe itself, to violate the divine boundaries of reality and to enter the space of perpetual darkness and nightmares

Let’s go with a classic one

Hello everyone!💖 Sadly, I have been impacted by layoffs. I’m looking for new work opportunities in VFX or games! My experience includes concept art/vis dev for games, DMP in the VFX department, and DMP/generalist work in the virtual art department with UE. #conceptart #vfx

Four hours of design sketching! This was a fun one to record; felt like I was back in the FZD classroom again. youtube.com/watch?v=1HwN6OWB…

Here's a quick texturing tip: If you Multiply a gradient, you get the smooth result you'd expect. But if you're looking for something noisy or generally more interesting, instead SUBTRACT the inverse of that gradient. Super nice for brushes, leaky walls, lots of stuff.

I won. I won my appeal. The Luxembourg court has ruled that Jeff Dieschburg infringed upon my copyright when he used my work without consent. Using a different medium was irrelevant. My work being 'available online' was irrelevant. Consent was necessary. 1/
