I always want a big fan of sci-fi story, and I want to implement some of the element into my art! Here is Mashira with a cyborg wing( probably future him), standing in the outskirt outside of a over-populated city, and with its equally over-populated moon! I’d like to give a sense of contrast between over crowded and empty. And I think a gas station out of no where fit this category pretty well!
Here I just want to make something I feel deep inside my heart. i have a basic story of how thing will goes in this drawing, but I have to wait and see of I can make it as an animation sometime.
The second one is just a #emote design for discord, “BEEEEE!!!” People already made this joke so much about Mahsira…. I just have to make it ^^;

This piece is call “Green Rain”, a little self expression of how I like the aesthetic of the big city, but I also adored the beauty of natural, but apparently both can’t exist together. What if the rain can cover the puddle into green grass? At least that is a little relief in the concrete forest…?
I also did many expression practice these days, just can’t stop feeling struggle when doing some drawing, it only lead to me lack of practice, so I must do more.

Sometimes I can have some pretty weird dream, and I’m able to remember one of them. Mahsira, Snail girl, Pin and Pon are all in this underground mega city, celebrating the lantern festival! The whole tunnel is illuminated by the lantern’s light, cover the originally cold and robotic machine lights.
My dream isn’t this dramatic tho, but I want to draw the scene that how I feel than it actually was. It is also a very good practice for me!

I saw the new Ratchet and Clank trailer was out, and the new character is… strangely familiar, it’s kinda like my Wingtail appear in the video xD. I made this little cross dressing drawing, just for the fun of it :B
And also some fun doodle of Pon being a PS5, cuz Pin changed her color just to prank her >:p

Final artworks/shots (No render, no photoshop) of the current research project about physical lighting and its optimization, color adjustment and cinematics, aesthetics and artstyle, optimization and handling of gigantic environments in unity without blowing up the hardware or crashing the engine.

Resulting modules and technics get shared with dev community.
Project started: May 2019, worked on it in parallel to the game projects.
Tools used: Unity5.5 for the scene creation,
Blender, C4D for 3Dmodelling of the city, 
Krita for texture painting and normalmaps of buildings, 
Notepad++ for shader coding, 
VS for postFX scripting, coding, debugging 

All machines are listening to my commands even if i made them cry… i thought. Now I tried to get an insane 16k image of my virtual city with a render module i made for unity. 4k works pretty well, but reaching for 16k resulted in a BOOM. Took me 2 hours to calm down my overheated workstation and reboot it again. My pissed nvidia graphics hardware almost darted out of the machine, quitting her job, leaving my house by saying “Good bye psycho, i’m not working for you anymore”. I didn’t react at first because of my confusion and when i realized what just had happened i ran after her. But she was almost gone, probably hiding somewhere or being on her way to Hawaii to enjoy the rest of her life. Poor module.. wherever you are right now, i just wanted to let you know that i still love you… there’s always a nice and cold place at my motherboard for you… please come back… PLEASE!

They have to go through Themis, one of the first megacity touched by the Great Silence. It’s a ghost place now, but there’s still some security bots left active.
