Jay Topham - The Rookies 2023
Hi there! I'm a 3D game artist specialised in stylised environments and props with a love for hand painted textures and cosy creations! This is a collection of my personal projects since graduating university last year
Acorn Shop
My first piece trying out unlit, albedo only, hand painted texturing, a style I've always loved but never had the time to practice with during my studies. I really enjoyed the process and the weird line between 2D and 3D art and creating the illusion of depth and detail that would usually come from normal maps and lighting.
Based off this lovely concept

Cosy Forest
A simple stylised forest scene I created to experiment with UE4 landscape and foliage tools, as well as RVT textures and billboard materials, which I found really fun to play around with once I got the hang of them!
This scene is playable, including collisions, audio and a few visual effects
Inspired by the styles of Ghibli films and The Legend of Zelda games

Fisherman's Lunch
Another hand painted piece, however this time being fully lit and including PBR materials. I loved my previous Acorn Shop result however I wanted to try combining that painterly look with some PBR and lighting to see what result I could create.
Based off this gorgeous concept
