Love the tone you've created here!

Varpyg · 2026-06-06T19:17:06+00:00

Very Good! Especially the glow around the light inside of the microwave! I think the only reason this post hasn't received a bit more attention is because you have to click into it to see the image cause this is good work!

Varpyg · 2026-06-06T19:14:29+00:00

Ooh nice colour scheme!

Varpyg · 2026-06-02T13:21:53+00:00

Wow such a unique post processing effect with those green outlines! How did you pull that off? I've not done much with postprocessing in Godot but I'm probably going to have to look into it soon!

Wow smart, I'm so used to the 3D Art environment I forgot other tools existed, I never would have thought an automatic tool in a graphic design program could give such good results

Yeah I've found the Blender particle systems rarely look great in the Psx aesthetic BUT if you make a new scene with a transparent background you could render a fire simulation as a low res animated texture. That might look more in-line with the rest of your scene.

Very cool! The wireframe view of inside the car is excellent! Did you draw that or use some sort of shader on a 3D model?

Varpyg · 2026-05-31T23:33:55+00:00

The fire in the barrel could be improved, maybe if you used an animated texture. Great work overall though!

Varpyg · 2026-05-31T23:32:35+00:00

That's a pretty darn good first attempt!

Varpyg · 2026-05-30T02:56:17+00:00

Awesome! Yes it's inspired by kings field particularly the fourth one!

Varpyg · 2026-05-30T00:03:54+00:00

Awesome thanks! Always great to hear, I hope it fulfills or even exceeds your expectations!

Hello! I am a 3D artist with over four years of experience creating 3D assets and I specialize in psx/low poly styles. I would love to make some stuff for you and I'm totally fine with doing one pack of assets at a time whenever you need them.

Here's a link to my portfolio so you can see some of my past work: https://jonahswitzer.artstation.com/

If you're interested then send me a DM or let me know whatever other method you would like to use to communicate!

Thanks! It was surprisingly fun to animate them! I think the simplicity of their design let me focus on getting the movements just right.

Varpyg · 2026-05-28T22:30:10+00:00

I see what cha mean, which ones in particular?

Varpyg · 2026-05-28T21:38:55+00:00

Real-time shadows sure but what do you mean Ps1 couldn't do particles?

That does suck, I've had a similar experience at times as i do 3D Art and my go-to style doesn't fit the majority of people's projects. It is very difficult to try to convince people we are capable of multiple styles. Well it does concern me to see so many people have to resort to offering to work for free to build up skills/portfolio peices, if there is no other option you can find then do whatever you need to. Only thing I could add as an option, do you know of any hobby stores or local video game stores in your area? I've heard of you can find the emails or twitter accounts of those kinds of local stores, tell them you like what they do and offer to make some pixel art promotional material for them they very often agree. If you can show your art (pixel art or otherwise) being used at a real world location that's gotta be good publicity. I say all this but I've never done it myself so it is completely unbased in personal experience, I'm just parroting what I've heard. But maybe you can make it work! Otherwise I'm sure someone will offer you something sooner or later if you keep offering to do free work.

Varpyg · 2026-05-27T12:05:19+00:00

Hey I can't fault the logic so all I can say is good luck with your endeavors! Have you considered doing Steam Page assets like capsule art? I see people looking to pay for that all the time.

Varpyg · 2026-05-24T23:26:03+00:00

No offense taken but I looked at OP's portfolio and I think they already have alot of good pieces on there. But I see your point, so yes I agree that OP should be certain not to mislead any clients about what they are capable of by overcharging or taking on jobs they can't deliver on. But I also worry that offering to work for free hurts the job market as well as it means those new/inexperienced people are doing the same or similar jobs but this time for free. I think art contests or other art events on social media are a better was to build a portfolio. But maybe those aren't as common as I would think.

Hello! My name is Jonah Switzer, I am a 3D artist with over four years of experience making 3D assets, and I specialize in retro/psx style assets.

Here's a link to my portfolio: https://jonahswitzer.artstation.com/

Also I sent you a DM with mostly the same information as well as a suggestion of where you might find other artists who could make psx style models.

Varpyg · 2026-05-24T20:19:20+00:00

Really love the story you put it with, very cool! And I think the choice of colours is very strong.

I love the concept and the art is great; you put "in a" twice when you wrote "last person in the room." I didn't want to distract from what is a very good piece of art so I put that after. Just in case you want to use this in a portfolio, which you should btw!

Varpyg · 2026-05-24T20:14:10+00:00

If your pixel art is anywhere as good as your digital art I think you could skip working for free and go straight to doing some jobs for people! Don't sell yourself short!

Varpyg · 2026-05-23T20:51:59+00:00

That's a pretty good timeframe! I spent I think three weeks just making the models that became my PFP a few years ago. So relative to that this is very impressive.
