Hologram Max

Just a fun little idea I had in mind while I was practicing with shaders. Here's Max as a holographic AI (Not that kind of AI)

Almost Ready for Halloween

In the soft glow of sunset, Max helps Ryan with the last piece of his costume. They laugh, they stare a little too long, and both pretend not to notice.

Tried making it look like a cinematic of a game. Hope you guys like this format!

Last Year's Halloween Post + 3D Recreation Attempt

Here is last year's Halloween post of the boys + clean version

Also, I tried recreating it in 3D but failed spectacularly. But I was able to make a fun little temporary profile Halloween themed pfp!

Legends of Olympus

Greek gods could never. Max and Ryan own Olympus now.

Max as Achilles

Here’s Max’s Halloween costume! He’s dressed as Patroclus' best friend (or lover?) this year, with his spear and shield ready. I went for a softer take on the warrior look, with a white toga that’s definitely too short for him. Hope you guys like it!

Ryan as Patroclus

Ryan’s all set for Halloween! His costume is inspired by Patroclus, and I wanted to give him a heroic but gentle look. Max’s Achilles costume reveal is up next.

Ryan Sculpted in Light

Played around with lighting to see what he looks like on a photoshoot. What do you guys think?

I might add more photos here when I figure out better poses. Until then, enjoy these ones!

Study of Ryan

Revisiting Ryan in 2D, and somehow he’s even hotter than before.

WIP - Max's Toga

Progress update on Max's Halloween costume, also now in 3D!

How does he look with longer hair?

Progress update on Ryan's Halloween Costume, now in 3D!

(PLEASE READ) Simplified Tier is now LIVE

Hey everyone! As promised, I’ve cleaned up the tier system so things are easier to follow (and easier for me to keep up with too).

No one will be automatically moved, because I don’t want to drag anyone somewhere they don’t want to be. Plus, having two tiers at the same price would turn into a messy Saltwork storm, so I figured it’s best to keep things neat and let you choose if a...

The MVP Drip

Fresh from the showers and already stealing the spotlight

The Heartthrob of Saltwork Bay

Saltwork Bay’s own legend, caught in a quiet moment in the locker room.

Crushed it on the court

Ryan's grind never stops!

This is an old art piece I made from 2024. Now with additional variants.

Also, I'm going to be posting a 3D version of this soon! So stay tuned!

Halloween Costume Concepts

Since Halloween is coming up, I thought I should start working on Max and Ryan's costumes! Here are the concept designs. Can you guess who they are meant to be?

Can't wait to work on these on 3D!

First Look at the Shower Room!

Hey guys, I’m finally diving into the shower room build! This is the first time I’m showing it off, and it’s going to tie in perfectly with the varsity locker room I made earlier. Picture tiled walls, proper stalls, and that real sports facility vibe. It is still early, but I’m pretty hyped about where it’s going. Here’s a peek!

New Progress on the Varsity Locker Room Assets

I’ve been making good progress on the locker room build, and I’m really happy with how it’s shaping up. Each locker is designed with a seat and a nameplate, giving it that authentic varsity/sports vibe. I might use this scene for future artwork, but for now I wanted to share the latest look with you.

Building an Athletic Locker for Ryan

Varsity players deserve high-end equipment and locker rooms for maximum training and performance. So, I'm building a locker room area for Ryan to use.

Here is a WIP of the athletic lockers (also called (open front team locker) where athletes can store their personal items, and also functions as a seat. I think it's pretty cool! I made the cabinets and storage movable too!

I plan to ...

Patreon Tier Update

Hey guys! 👋

I’ve been thinking a lot about how I run things here, and I realized managing different tiers (plus two Patreons) has been a bit too much. I’d rather put that time into creating more art and fun updates for you.

So I’m planning to simplify everything into one $5 tier starting next month (October). This way, everyone knows exactly what they’re ...

Boxed In (Wallpaper and Variants)

4K wallpapers of this piece. Plus additional sus variants for everybody's pleasure.

Boxed In

Max and Ryan gets trapped in a box. What could go wrong?

Ryan's Loungewear

This is what Ryan typically wears at home.

Ryan in Sweatpants

Ryan once again proves less is definitely more.

Max's Yellow Hoodie

Finally, I'm giving them new clothes! 😅

Cinematic Scene Concept

Testing out a moody argument scene: Max lit in blue, Ryan in orange, both caught in silence and tension.

Midnight Ride

Ryan under red and blue street glow, caught in motion.

Wrestling at the Coast

Just two boys enjoying the remainder of their summer to the fullest.

Game Interrupted

Not planned. Just them.

WIP - Current Roster

From left to right: Max, Ryan, Sebastian, and Charlie

WIP - Sebastian

I don't like his hair yet. But I'm happy with his face. What do you guys think?
