Re: The Art of Pablo Garcia 2026
Great stuff, although I'm not yet an adherent of stylised art per se however have to mention that this genre is beginning to grow on me over the last year or so 
By the way if you don't mind, interested in how these assets were painted whether proprietary or maybe FOSS tools?

#stylized Demon Chest made as a practice, was really fun to 3D model something different, ready for a Video Game

Re: Sketchbook: Zetheros
Been a bit late on these updates, just been a lot of IRL stuff to do. I'm scrapping the old iron automaton design in favour of something more simple, grounded, and less high fantasy. With modular cosmetics, a similar appearance can be obtained later in-game.
Have a great week!

Re: Project Star (Working Title) – UE5 Top Down
Looks awesome! Im a big fan of that cityscape background, it blends so nicely with everything else
My only criticism is the combat animation, id like to see it a bit snappier on the timing and maybe a longer reach
Great work!

Re: Game Industry Layoffs - WTF?
I'll post some spicy memes but there are clear boundaries that I wouldn't touch with a 100-mile pole. There's a lot to be frustrated and angry over. Corruption runs rampant and unchecked. American values, rights, laws, and lives are being destroyed.
Take a breather, step outside and touch grass. When you're back I would even consider asking Eric to delete your comment about Louigi. NSA/FBI certainly has his name flagged as a keyword, leave your Wickr group and never talk about that shit ever again online, or anywhere, for that matter. In good times that's toying with a felony, and under the current administration it's toying with a visit from trigger happy morons.
All of this has happened, and will happen again. What won't happen again, is you existing on this planet as a sentient human being, with 4 intact limbs, 2 eyes, and I would wager +/- 60 years left to make with what you will. You can choose to create or destroy. Ideally, as an artist, you would choose to create.

A quick little paintover. Just some Curves on the background, and leaving the character as-is. NPCs might also be better keeping the high contrast? I dunno, just an idea. Hope this helps!

Re: Project Star (Working Title) – UE5 Top Down
Love this! You've been putting a lot of work into this and it shows.
The biggest thing that jumps out to me is that everything is equal in contrast and saturation, which makes it a bit "busy". This causes a bit of visual fatigue because the player doesn't have a clearly-defined thing to focus on, and the eye doesn't have room to rest.
I keep coming back to this excellent article from one of the art directors over at Riot Games. It neatly explains how their visual hierarchy works, and why.

LoL has a darker style here than you're going for, but the overall color palette makes it very soothing and pleasing to look at. Might help!

Re: Unreal 5.7.1 Performance "Gain" World Partition
You're best off reading the docs
World partition is designed primarily for handling large worlds (several km across) in games.
You probably don't need it if you're planning to render out sequences but you may find it convenient to organise your work with the tools it provides.
Personally, probably wouldn't bother
