Hi, I'm Nicole Birk and I'm a 3D Creature Artist!
#PortfolioDay

[Nicole Birk @Freeflier181]

It is so, so nice to be able to post art like this after so long away and see that my momentum is still there :) Thank you all for your support! The AI slop era drained me, and I had personal things to deal with, but it's nice to be able to share and be seen.

It's been awhile. Have a before and after - I've updated my rex model :) Original in comments.

[Nicole Birk @Freeflier181]

This is the original - and wow, the new one is miles above the old. https://t.co/a63QBt7AE5

Artists, show me your red art

About 10 years ago I was working for a gaming company doing creature design. After work, I would go home and dissect animals in my garage.

I borrowed a tiger carcass from a local taxidermist.
I wanted to understand how the jaw muscles worked, so I stop motion animated it.

I think I need to discuss a paleomeme trend in sauropod integument that has persisted for a little too long. Sauropod skin is often made overly simplistic in paleo art, despite there being rigorous evidence against such interpretations. A 🧵 1/11

[Nicole Birk @Freeflier181]

Spose it's time to update that. No longer a student, but a Bachelor's in Game Development, with a focus in 3D Modeling :)

[Nicole Birk @Freeflier181]

@CorporalRex I'd be happy to help, I'm a DM as well as a paleoartist. Only if you're interested, of course :) I don't mean to butt in if you're not open to it. I'm busy until tomorrow afternoon, but hit me up in dm's if you're interested.

[Nicole Birk @Freeflier181]

@CorporalRex This has a lot of promise! It does feel like the beginning of something that could be dropped into a setting right alongside Dr. Dhrollins. It does feel like it could use some proofreading, however. Clarifying rules as well as making sure it's balanced along the other supplement.

@VHSDVDBLURAY4K I can't imagine why someone wouldn't want to do that with a weapon that could melt metal in mere moments

(It is cool though)

Was just hacked. Doesn't look like anything fishy happened in the last hour, but just posting this just in case.

@CorporalRex Literally just teased to my players that they might unlock a few races once they hit certain milestones. Interested in seeing where this goes 👀

[Nicole Birk @Freeflier181]

@Screenbound I do hope you'll be able to raise and lower the gameboy at will, but it is still a very unique concept and I'm here for it

[befores & afters magazine @beforesmag]

Hey look, a THREAD 🧵 on the VFX and virtual production tech from @MPCVFX in 'Mufasa', from the @beforesmag article breaking down the making of the film.

Here, take a look at mocap (new quadruped style!), environment work, fur and other effects details and stats...

[OhLarnSheDrawin' @BarnLarn]

Some pages of horse drawing tips :) Going to lay these out into a poster soon.
