I am a still working a bunch, so this is one of my first video game assets I did back in 1995. It was an information booth in a game called Stimslum, a dialup modem based MMPG that took place on a Babylon5 style space station. It was never released but learned a lot of the basics of 3D in games. We were using Lightwave and BRender. This isn’t a runtime image but we did create reflections by mirroring geometry! #saltybretzel #gameart #90s #christopherbretz #scifi #stimslum

Here is a map I did of the Mississippi delta under 2m of sea level rise using the USGS 13 arc second DEM dataset. ~2m is a worst case scenario for this century under RCP 8.5. #sealevelrise #mississippi #globalwarming #maps

Well this is awesome. The genealogy site MyHeritage is using deepfake tech to animate old photos in a Harry Potter newspaper kind of way. I uploaded one of my paintings to see what would happen... #myheritage #deepnostalgia

Sorry for the lack of posts in January, I have been so busy with work and covid lockdown I haven't had time. But I was listening to one of my favorite people this evening and decided to dig up this old white on black Prismacolor sketch I did of him. #tomwaits #whiteonblack #sketch #christopherbretz #saltybretzel #portraitdrawing

After seeing that last episode, I went back into his face again to tweak it some more. Still working on my likenesses and don't always get them right... #themandalorian #saltybretzel #digitalart #portraits
