Godzilla x Unreal Engine 5 🔥🦖🚁 Game-ready Godzilla, built from scratch. My take on @godzilla_toho was created across multiple tools and brought to life in UE5 with a full 3D environment and VFX. More monsters coming soon! 🐊🐉🦕 — 🎨 @edbaxterart ⚔️ @edwardbaxter_v #godzilla #unrealengine5 #3danimation #gameready #kaiju

Thank you to the students of Animation Game Entertainment for two amazing half semester classes at the @hartfordartschool / @universityofhartford 🏰🎮 In this class these students learned the basics of Adobe Photoshop and After Effects, and used these assets in developing 3D animated characters and object in Autodesk Maya, which they were introduced to for the first time. In half a semester, they were given a crash course on modeling, texturing, animating, lighting, and rendering their 3D work, and then composting it in After Effects. I expected of them a fraction of what they delivered, I truly could not be more impressed by these uniquely talented individuals. 👾 Thank you as always to Dave Calabrese ( @calabresearts ) for this opportunity, until next class! 🧙🏻‍♂️ The following animations are just a few examples of the work from the 2026 Spring semester. Below are the names and art accounts (if I have them) of the talented artists featured in this post. Check out their amazing work! ⭐️ Justin Sidney - @sidney.art01 Mya Jovani Blake Scarlett - @tunatunaart Lauri Cameryn - @cameryns_creations Jackie Jeremy Joshua - @j.a.m._wow__ Kirika Lyla Sophia • • • • • #universityofhartford #hartfordartschool #gameart #2danimation #3Danimation

A repost of the Bushnell’s ‘Living Pulse’ animation for the @hartfordhealthcare Black & Red gala. I had the pleasure of working on this alongside other talented artists and engineers. ♥️ Inspired by the rhythm of the human heartbeat, glowing red lines surge across the architecture of Mortensen Hall, cascading and multiplying until the entire room pulses as one – a celebration of life. ❤️ Black & Red led by @krissyyy_l @meghanbianco Designer – @ryanglista Animation – @edbaxterart @jzlabs Video Engineer – @lukecloptonphoto Installation – @iatse84 @riggerjoe @robynraley @e_roth_3 Production staff – @rebeccaristow @sivomike Executive Producer – @langevin10 @thebushnell

Come one come all to the Bushnell’s 2026 Ovations Annual Gala in Hartford, CT! 🎪🎠 Honored to have been selected to create this 7+ minute animation for the Grand Foyer @thebushnell — We maintained a vintage circus style for this year’s theme: Top Hats and Trapeze! 🎢🎡 Thank you to all the wonderful people at the Bushnell for the opportunity and for putting this amazing event together. The project wouldn’t be what it is without @jaikobl — who animated the centerpiece elephant, operated the essential array of projectors, and developed many other assets and touches that brought this animation to life. Lots of moving parts! 🤹 Visit edbaxterart.com for more 🔥🐉 ❤️‍🔥 Follow @edbaxterart and my personal @edwardbaxter_v ❤️‍🔥

Thank you to the students of Digital Illustration for making my first full semester as an instructor at the @hartfordartschool / @universityofhartford so special! 🏨❤️‍🔥 In this class these students learned the basics of Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, stating from the application’s basics and digital color theory to creating their own unique illustrations using traditional techniques and their own distinct styles. I have no doubt these guys will all be successful artists, I can’t wait to see the work they produce going forward. I’m very proud of them all, and truly could not have asked for a better class. 🦅 Thank you especially to @calabresearts for giving me a shot at this position. Here’s to more art and animation classes in the future! 🎨 The following images are just some of the artwork from the 2025 Fall semester. Below are the art accounts of all the talented artists in my class (at least the ones I have right now.) Check out their amazing work! @damienwil423 @danimationzzz @arts_of_lilo1 @elk_head @h0cus_l0cus @artsmartboca @_.annika.art.05._ @sophiaribeiro2027 @morgan_drew_b @jessys_studio14 @louiseistired @_evanimation_ @sophiaribeiro2027 • • #universityofhartford #hartfordartschool #digitalillustration #alternatemovieposter #tarotcards #artists #illustrators
