Happy #portfolioday everyone! 🥳 I'm Jon, a 3D Stylized Environment Artist with 3 years of game industry experience, currently open to full-time and freelance work! 😁 🎨artstation.com/jonathan_ma 📫[email protected]

Ran my first half marathon this last weekend! It was super fun and rewarding :))

How I started vs me now

Tested out some grass I made in SpeedTree! Gonna start adding plants into engine as I make them :))

Been thinking of maybe trying streaming out. Was thinking of steaming my process of learning speedtree and maybe some personal work. It'd be nice to interact with other artist

Some clover practice with speed tree 🍀 This is so much faster than what I would have done before. Might start practicing bring some into engine to test out the work flow a bit :))

Some more speed tree practice with a flower! 🌺 Gonna keep at the grind!

Started learning to bake baguettes at home! This is my 3rd batch, and I'm pretty proud of this one :))

More plant practice reps this morning! Pls ignore the wonky normals on the leaves. Your boy is still learning the buttons 😂 I had a nicer version of the first one, but my software crashed 😭 It's been fun going outdoors and looking at plants to try to recreate in Speed Tree 😁

More plant practice from this morning. Not really all that close to what I was going for, in terms of shape, but that's a part of learning something new! Gonna keep at it! ✍️💪☘️

Starting my speed tree journey! Something I've been really wanting to learn to improve my pipeline for creating foliage. Starting super simple, but I'm already enjoying this so much more than my usual way of making foliage! 🌱

Trust The Process 💪 Something I've gotten better at over the years and am still improving at. Understanding art will always have an "ugly" phase, and being ok with that has helped so much with my productivity 😄
