[David Luong @Ackdoh]

What is life after @Blizzard_Ent ? I’ve pondered this deeply over the last few months. That’s what I’ll soon find out with a mix of emotions as today was my last day at Blizzard Entertainment after more than 15 years on the cinematics team. Thank you for everything! More in pic💙

Emerging soon.

The eyes of gods gaze into a black hole, the most fearsome phenomenon in the cosmos. To them, it is but a plaything.

Their next move begins soon...

Director: "I'd like to have a stormy sky in the horizon giving off an eerie light in the glacial cracks of Antarctica" Me: "I'm familiar with both from past experience, let's do it!" Break down of the digital matte painting shot I worked on for a cinematic done in @UnrealEngine 5

@CompAcademyVFX @UnrealEngine Thx so much Alex! Definitely was, especially factoring in art and creative direction changes that we can never escape lol

@Roslyn_Matters @UnrealEngine Only one day, but this day had many more hours in it than an Earthling day 🥶✨

WE DID THE THING!!

Incredibly excited to finally announce "Tides of Tethys", the game I've been working on with a close friend these last few years.

It's been a dream come true working on my own project , and I can't wait for people to play it!
Any wishlist helps! <3

@JonathanWinbush Thank you! 🥶

@exphrasis @UnrealEngine Thx so much Geoffrey and for share! ❤️🙏🏻

[David Luong @Ackdoh]

@YoriVisuals @UnrealEngine That’s it! Just the gray geo reveal at the end of video in FG is the fully 3D environment, but they were both worked on in tandem during the project as creative and art direction progressed.

I’ve been laid off from activision blizzard after 13 years of employment.

I was the sole income earner for our household so leads on new positions would be appreciated

[David Luong @Ackdoh]

@planetzomax @InterceptoV Aww I heard of the news of its closing and super sad about it as well. What a great community sharing a wealth of knowledge back then. I certainly helped me find and talk to other artists as I was studying 3D in the early 2000s. Glad to have met you online at least, great art!

[Niko Gesell @NGArts1]

Hey everyone. I was affected by the Embracer Layoffs.
I am open to new work/freelance as a concept artist! Worked for companies like Blizzard/DeepSilver!

Any help in spreading the tweet is greatly appreciated! 🥲

@mhardison3 Sooo good! We went a while ago, recommend getting hotel nearby to walk to after eating and drinking for three hours like a true Halfling 😂🤤🥰
