Hey Games Industry friends :) With my contract ending at Playground soon, I'm starting to look for my next opportunity as an Environment Artist. If your studio is hiring, or you know of any roles that might be a good fit, I'd really appreciate a shout! ❤️ artstation.com/ryanthomasonj…

A huge thank you to students at @BuasGames for allowing me to provide a guest lecture talking about Environment Art tips, tricks and techniques! I hope they could take away some valuable information, and that they enjoy the other talks lined up!

Until October 1st, I am holding a 50% sale on my environment art mentorship offering! There are 2 slots available. I hope the price makes the opportunity a bit more accessible financially to those who want to develop their skills to the fullest. ryanthomasonjones.gumroad.co…

It is sad and difficult to hear about more layoffs/resignations at Ballistic Moon, Xbox and Annapurna. Although we aren't hiring, if anyone would like a portfolio review free of charge or would simply like to share their work below please do. Look out for each other.

Been working on a procedural feather placement system using #geometrynodes in Blender for a new personal project. Definitely rough in places, but getting there 💪

Hi! Just received the news that Fall Damage is going into bankruptcy. It’s sad to see after four amazing years at the studio. I will soon be looking for positions in Environment Art, Senior or Leadership. Will put my portfolio in the comments!
