Updated my portfolio with all of the Fortnite seasons I was involved in as a Director of Character Art. I directed all original characters there from initial idea to the final assets that shipped in the game. artstation.com/rawkstar

I wanted to honor Vitaliy Naymushin @rawkstarv by drawing a little something (a reference to an iconic Invincible panel by Ryan Ottley). I love character design and some of the characters that Vitaliy made are inspiring, and the face of Fortnite. All the best to you man.

Hey everyone, I’m honestly overwhelmed by the response from the community. I never expected this. It means a lot to see how much people care about the work that I did and these characters. I’m truly grateful. Thank you all for the support ❤️

As #Fortnite's players, creators, and developers are looking for accountability, we've found that almost none of Epic Games' executives have publicly commented or apologized for yesterday's layoffs 🚫 - Tim Sweeney, Epic's chief and CEO, issued an apology to employees and made a post stating that "anyone [from Epic] is in the top few percent of their discipline," which has since drawn heavy criticism from angry players, influencers, and industry members and journalists - Adam Sussman, Epic's president, has not issued a public statement - Mark Rein, Epic's VP and co-founder, has not issued a public statement - Daniel Vogel, Epic's Chief Operating Officer, has not issued a public statement. Vogel drew criticism in 2021 after he ended Epic's policy of granting every other Friday off to their employees - Kim Libreri, Epic's Chief Technology Officer, has not issued a public statement - Randy Gelber, Epic's Chief Financial Officer, has not issued a public statement - Monika Fahlbusch, who joined Epic as their Chief People Officer leading their HR team after a tenure at the vaping company JUUL, has not issued a public statement - Charlie Wen, Epic's Chief Creative Officer, has not issued a public statement, amod speculation he silently left the company last year - Tera Randall, Epic's executive VP of Global Affairs, has not issued a public statement - Steve Allison, the VP and GM of the Epic Games Store, has not issued a public statement - Nate Nanzer, the senior VP of Commerce & Partnerships, has not issued a public statement. Nanzer joined Epic in 2019 after a tenure heading the now-defunct Overwatch League. Jeff Kaplan, the former game director of Overwatch, said in an interview that the league was wildly oversold to investors - Saxs Persson, the executive VP behind UEFN, left the company late last year As many of Epic's most dedicated employees - both current and now former - struggle to pick up the pieces, the silence from their executive leadership is deafening.

Stay calm. Just because Republicans took control over the Senate, doesn't mean Global Warming is any less true than before.

My son is going through "Learn Unity for 2D Game Development". It recommends making every sprite 4096x4096. I am deeply appalled.
