Trailer for my latest project: CRAWLERS

“The Same But Different” is a near ironclad rule in most creative industries, and is almost unavoidable if you’re starting out. The attention economy is screaming at everyone from all directions and most people need a shorthand way to define what your thing is about. It’s true in screenwriting, gamedev, and music. If it’s not “X + Y” then it’s automatically disadvantaged within the attention marketplace.

@AVARY Always a sense of life and vitality to everything he worked on. Tragically overlooked as a common filmmaking reference imo.

I miss Tony. He was so exciting to work with -- always inventive and thrilled to be making a movie. The energy around him was electric. He was generous and collaborative. There's no other filmmaker like him.

@Knightly_Hist Angels Sanguine and Lamenters man, myself. Keep forgetting they put in other successor chapter logos into the game but just didn't include the scheme presets, which is a lil annoying.

Finally able to accurately portray my favourite Blood Angels successors: The Carmine Blades.

My classic DarkSide of Xeen Map painting 1993! #retrogaming #boxart #popculture #illustration #DarkSideofXeen

Unsettle. The house appears to be vacant. Piece by Ryan Kennedy. The idea was to paint a special forces type character moving through a haunted space stalked by something unnatural. Inspired by a short film SCP: Dollhouse, created by Evan Muir @EvanRoyalty

The sanctity of this place has been fouled.

@Dolfijnmanjohns The problem with most ahistorical armor is that it doesn't look like the end-point of a series of decisions. It just has vague allusions to armor-looking objects put on someone's body. Would like to see more practical designs that aren't just lifted from history, could be cool.

Modern fantasy designs are fueled by laziness. Modern writers believe that, bc it’s fantasy, u shouldn’t bother with practicality. Yet when we look at LoTR, Witcher, Warhammer and GoT. All of them take inspiration from historical armour. All of them are beloved and famous.

@u_m_a_m_i Love showing it to people, reactions are always polarizing. So many shots of this linger in my imagination whenever I reference the cinematography in my work, with the most recent example being the shot of the late Buddy Duress knocking back the bottle of brandy. Great movie.

Watched Good Time again last night. Great panic attack movie. Went to read what people had to say on Letterboxd. Was greeted by this abomination of a poster???

@caneijur Trvke.

I'm not calling it low poly retro PSX or anything like that, I'm calling it I'm The Only Artist and I Want To Get Er Done in Under 10,000 Years Without Using A Bunch of Shit off Asset Stores. I don't care about no damn polycount or play station or the passage of time

@speederaserhead Always found this shot from the film particularly striking for some reason - maybe it's how modern it felt in sensibility. A lot of soft lighting. Very atmospheric.

James Wong Howe was in the lab cooking up 10000 different sinister chiaroscuro lighting schemes for Burt Lancaster’s face and glasses, master at fucking work

@IlyasseL_ Would this work for objects that are a composite of separate meshes? Most of my characters are designed such that the limbs are all separate objects, been wondering if an outline effect is possible on characters built that way.

The creator of the famous Half-Life 2 mod Underhell, Jeremy 'Mxthe' Faucomprez, has recently passed away. We thank Jeremy for giving us this amazing history to the world, leaving a huge mark to the modding scene, and we hope you are at peace.

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we share that Camelworks (Mackenzie Rowles) has passed away. With his family and many, many friends we gathered for a celebration of his life focusing on all he had achieved and how much love he gave so freely to all who knew him. It was a beautiful final send-off for an amazing guy who touched the lives of so many people, not only those he loved, helped and laughed with personally, but the millions of viewers he reached online through hundreds of videos he obsessively worked on throughout his years. Mackenzie’s ashes were scattered in his favourite spot in a beautiful national park he loved to visit. His family and closest friends ask that you share your favourite memories of him and to remember him for his endless passion, love of diving into the details, and the joy he brought to all. Please respect their wishes for privacy during this difficult time. We first met Mackenzie in 2015, when we were burgeoning young YouTube channels trying to make a living from gaming content in a world where almost no one believed it was possible. We’d meet up at local cafes to swap tactics, give each other pep talks about how we are going to make it big, and coordinate how we’d do the many “shout outs” so common for that era. Somehow it all worked out as planned, and the next thing we knew we were wrapped up together in all kinds of unique experiences we’ll cherish forever. From picking locks and doing archery at the Elder Scrolls Escape in Kangaroo Valley, to exploring the streets of LA at E3, or partying in a nuclear bunker in West Virginia – there are just so many good memories that wouldn’t have been the same without Mackenzie. The kinds of puns and jokes you’ve heard him use throughout his videos are a reflection of the same humour he’d effortlessly use in person to keep all his friends laughing. Camel was always there to talk or lend a helping hand to anyone who asked. He’d feature in our skits, spend hours dissecting the TES iceberg with us, and even made some fantastic thumbnails for our channel before we knew what we were doing. We will always appreciate the help and enthusiasm he shared with us in those formative years. We were blessed to see Camelworks become one of the core pillars of the TES/BGS community and we want you to know just how hard he worked for his audience, and how much he cherished your support. He was incredibly grateful for everyone who enjoyed the content he spent so much time creating and truly was the man of meticulous masterpieces, leaving no stone unturned in his deep dives (and quite literally with his love of collecting rocks, among many other esoteric oddities). Camel, rest in peace brother. May you live on in us all when we wander off the beaten path, searching every nook and cranny just to see what’s there. - Michael & Scott (FudgeMuppet)

Today, we share the heartbreaking news that Mackenzie Rowles, known to many of you as “Camelworks”, has passed away. Together with his family and friends, we recently held a celebration of his life and gave him a final send-off, with his ashes being scattered across the Australian countryside. I cannot describe the heartache I felt when I was told the news. Mack was my good friend, one of the first people I ever met in the games industry and Bethesda/YouTube community, over 10 years ago. He was the kindest, most welcoming person you could ever have the privilege of knowing. He cared very deeply about those around him - always happy to have a conversation and help you with any problem you were facing, without question. And man, he was just the funniest guy. No matter how you were feeling, he could make you laugh and brighten your day. Camel’s family has asked for all of you to share your fondest memories of him and remember him for the incredible life he lived. He built an amazing community of over 800 thousand people across his YouTube channels, and we would love to hear how he touched your lives. Please also respect their privacy at this difficult time. Finally, I would like to show you this video of Mackenzie, which was made for his family and played at his celebration of life service. Many tears were shed when editing this video, and I hope it does his memory justice. Camel, I cannot help but cry when writing this, but rest in peace my brother. I will spend my days looking for you in Sovngarde and we will share a drink once again. - Jonny “LoneVaultWanderer” Roses

@rfkenmore Had the Filson 24hr for around a year now. It's basically my daily carry, can't recommend it enough.

The more unc I get, the more stuff like this looks like a legitimate solve for: not backpack, not tote bag, has pockets, and travels well

My dear friend & incomparable author Dan Simmons died Saturday from a stroke at age 77. He defied literary norms, exploring historical fiction, horror, crime & other genres. His must-read titles include THE SONG OF KALI & HYPERION. He was one of a kind. dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/lon…

@boygirlenjoyer People don’t enjoy this part of the process at all and whine about having to do it but once you have all your scene cards done with everything mapped out then doing the actual manuscript is basically effortless.

@boygirlenjoyer Start with a low-resolution version of your outline just to map the story, then make another high resolution version where you literally write down every important thing that happens so you know exactly what matters in a scene whenever you go to work on it.

Being a writer who just daydreams and makes up little scenarios in ur head but stares at the page blankly when it’s time to write
