Course Description
I am a professional indie game developer who has released successful games that are both 2d (Endoparasitic) and 3d (Wrought Flesh). In this course you will learn the techniques I use to quickly make high-quality 2d and 3d art for my games. This includes rotoscoped animations, IK based animations, stencil painted textures, and 2d vfx that makes simple art pop and look great.
In the 2D section I cover making a player character that uses IK for the upper body and rotoscoped animations for their lower body, a monster made of silhouetted blobs, simple sprite styles for making interesting environments, and vfx to make it all look good.
In the 3D section I cover making a humanoid monster character, with specific focus on my texturing style. While I only cover making a character, the same techniques can be easily applied for texturing environmental assets.
This is a fast-paced course that rapidly summarizes my techniques, the videos are not intended to be followed step-by-step, but rather watched to learn the general steps and mindset I take when creating art.
This course is aimed at game developers experienced with 3d modelling software such as Blender, game development tools like Godot, and 2d art software such as Krita. If you are not confident in your abilities with these or similar tools, this course is not for you.

I have been making games as an independent game developer for almost seven years now. I've made 2d and 3d games of all genres, from horror to puzzle. I've also been drawing, painting, and 3d modelling for games for nearly 8 years now. For the past year and a half I have been a content creator on Youtube, making learning materials for other game developers.

This was a great tutorial, I enjoyed the 3D / blender tutorial. its fast and to the point for getting a rig and animations onto your characters.
By Felix Hallwass on 11/11/2024
Great! Really demystifies a lot of the smaller details I had previously found daunting. Scripted tutorials can often forget little steps, so just watching him go through the process and explain his thinking is a welcome and effective format.

I absolutely loved this course. I found this instructor from his course on retro ps1 styled graphics, and then discovered his Youtube channel where he documents games he’s published. I fell in love with his art style and game concepts. This instructor knows his tools extremely well and moves very quickly in a very no-nonsense, to the point style. I really like this, but in the other course there were moments where he sacrificed quality and clarity for the sake of just being quick and i was very disappointed. This course is makes up for all of of that! It was AMAZING to see him actually just slow down and let you see his workflow. He actually goes through everything step by step. Yes, there are moments where he moves through menus very quickly, but i understand why: this is not a ‘beginner’ course. If you’re not a beginner but you’re still unfamiliar with some step he took he states every step out loud so you can go back. I'm so happy i went ahead and purchased this course and so glad Miziziziz decided to demonstrate his workflow throughly. You should def check out his Youtube channel. Looking forward to more courses from him!

Good content. Nice little micro-course. I wouldn't say this is a good resource for learning anything specific, but it is a nice little insight into Miziziziz's art workflow.
