What is life after @Blizzard_Ent ? I’ve pondered this deeply over the last few months. That’s what I’ll soon find out with a mix of emotions as today was my last day at Blizzard Entertainment after more than 15 years on the cinematics team. Thank you for everything! More in pic💙

"Gods... murderers of my world, destroyers of my home... you will pay for your sins. I swear." Emerging soon.

The eyes of gods gaze into a black hole, the most fearsome phenomenon in the cosmos. To them, it is but a plaything. Their next move begins soon...

@AlonHelman @UnrealEngine ❤️😱🎊

@Ackdoh @UnrealEngine So good!!!

Director: "I'd like to have a stormy sky in the horizon giving off an eerie light in the glacial cracks of Antarctica" Me: "I'm familiar with both from past experience, let's do it!" Break down of the digital matte painting shot I worked on for a cinematic done in @UnrealEngine 5

@CompAcademyVFX @UnrealEngine Thx so much Alex! Definitely was, especially factoring in art and creative direction changes that we can never escape lol

@Ackdoh @UnrealEngine a ton of work there, looks great!

@Roslyn_Matters @UnrealEngine Only one day, but this day had many more hours in it than an Earthling day 🥶✨

We're the World of Warcraft Gamemakers Guild: the first wall-to-wall union at Blizzard! We're thrilled to include WoW's QA, Art, Sound, Design, Engineering and Production voices for a democratized workplace. At this crucial moment in games, we stand together as one. For Azeroth!

@jamirblanco Thx! 🙏🏻 ❤️

@Ackdoh Amazing! 🙌🏽

@nassosyian @UnrealEngine Thx a lot! 🙏🏻

@Ackdoh @UnrealEngine Freaking awesome!

@exphrasis This game art 🥵🥵🥵

WE DID THE THING!! Incredibly excited to finally announce "Tides of Tethys", the game I've been working on with a close friend these last few years. It's been a dream come true working on my own project , and I can't wait for people to play it! Any wishlist helps! <3

@JonathanWinbush Thank you! 🥶

Amazing 💪🏾

@exphrasis @UnrealEngine Thx so much Geoffrey and for share! ❤️🙏🏻

@Ackdoh @UnrealEngine So good!

@YoriVisuals @UnrealEngine That’s it! Just the gray geo reveal at the end of video in FG is the fully 3D environment, but they were both worked on in tandem during the project as creative and art direction progressed.

@Ackdoh @UnrealEngine Amazing piece! Am I correct to say that the only real geo is the foreground in the final piece? Mid ground and sky background both included in the matte painting process, right?

I’ve been laid off from activision blizzard after 13 years of employment. I was the sole income earner for our household so leads on new positions would be appreciated

@planetzomax @InterceptoV Aww I heard of the news of its closing and super sad about it as well. What a great community sharing a wealth of knowledge back then. I certainly helped me find and talk to other artists as I was studying 3D in the early 2000s. Glad to have met you online at least, great art!

Without CGSociety, I probably would've met @Ackdoh ,@InterceptoV and many others way later in my career and their art was very fundamental in what I wanted to become as an artist.

Probably late to the party, but I just heard that CGSociety will close forever on January 8th. I met so many of my artistic role models there, took part in many contests and this site, more than any other, shaped who I am today.

Hey everyone. I was affected by the Embracer Layoffs. I am open to new work/freelance as a concept artist! Worked for companies like Blizzard/DeepSilver! Any help in spreading the tweet is greatly appreciated! 🥲

@mhardison3 Sooo good! We went a while ago, recommend getting hotel nearby to walk to after eating and drinking for three hours like a true Halfling 😂🤤🥰
