✨Hello #PortfolioDay ✨ I’m Jess Cookston, a stylized 3D character artist in the games industry! ✨💖 I was just laid off last week so I’m looking for my next home! I have experience working with established IP and optimizing for mobile platforms✨ 📷 jesscookston.carrd.co 📷 #3DCharacterArtist #3DArt

This week I was supposed to just be chilling to recover post surgery, then enjoy a few weeks of studio summer break. Now I’m consumed by the “what do I do now” thoughts 😭

I had the privilege of making the first new character we as a studio added to the PAW franchise and I love this lil guy so much! Checkout Humbot!

Today is Stormy’s 9th birthday so here she is with a purr pop and a delicious kitty licky mat spread 🐈‍⬛

I haven’t really updated my portfolio in years so I started out with a small thumbnail update to stuff from my early days at Originator. It’s kinda neat how just adding the game logo makes the thumbnails feel better! I’m still gathering and making presentation decisions for PAW Patrol The Game!

Thank you everyone for all the well wishes and support 🥹💖 My surgery went great and I’m home chilling now to recover! It’s definitely gonna take me a hot minute to process what happened today but I’ll keep moving forward! I’m going to miss my team, we really built something special. 💖💔

Another game credit and a round of credits for Rivet, Stormy, and even lil angel Ratchet 🥹💖

Late night update: we are now live globally! 🎊🎉🥹

Excited to share that you and your kiddos can play PAW Patrol: The Game TOMORROW JULY 7TH on iOS and Android!! 🐾 🐶 We’ve been working hard to bring the pups to life in an all new mobile game. Play with your fave pups all over Adventure Bay with even more to come!

Tomorrow something big is coming! No game too big and no pup too small… 👀

We went to the World Cup today because it’s not every week that it’s in your backyard! ⚽️

Please accept Stormy in the sunshine chomping on grass! Also my husband was wearing his Little Kitty Big City button up today and had 6 strangers stop him to say how much they loved it 💖

Caught Rivet showing off her pearly whites when I found her trying to eat my rabbit plush 😂

Stormy in her old window perch to warm your soul

I was searching for Pikmin at the Seattle Aquarium earlier today 🌼

My friend just text me about this, I’m over here eating my special sourdough looking at fish at the aquarium. IM ABOUT TO CRY YALL WE ARE BACK 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Yall I’ve been moving while leading up to a game launch and also our apartment decided to grow mold in the last 3 weeks and we lost some furniture as a result and I think my brain is FRIEDDDDD ANYWAY hope everyone is doing alright, happy beginning of Pride month! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Here’s a sweet pup smooch to her kitty sister to brighten your day ✨

Today is our 7th wedding anniversary! I could have made a sappy post on my private insta but best I came up with was “I'd marry you in every game, well except Stardew Valley where we will marry our faves and all live on our farm together. 💖✨”

I’ve got several questions about the topo on this thing, especially with how the density is distributed and what on earth is going on with the side of the head?? Lmaooo Where is the mouth bag???

Having MCAS is fun because what do you mean eating RAINBOW goldfish instead of regular goldfish has sent my immune system into a spiral?? How dare I want my goldfish crackers to be colorful.

I thought you were supposed to keep that as an inside thought while you destroy peoples lives but I guess that’s not the way we are moving anymore huh

Another Cooper Gang member added, THE MURRAY

Some of my favorite items I’ve made so far have got to be a Joji Album, Daxter as a pet, my new fave salt rescue snack a Chomps Chompling beef stick, and then a massive Pibb Xtra soda that glows at night 😂

We made several today, including me starting the process of putting the entire Sly Cooper gang into the game! My partner started an Eggman and I drew the goggles in for him. He wanted a book first thing so of course I gave him the self help book

I’m starting a Tomodachi Life thread right here for all my creations. Here are our Miis we have so far, I’m sure you’ll recognize several! We have a wild running list of Miis we have yet to make. I still can’t believe the cap is 70 😳

Rivet meets Rivet 🔨 🐶

I put Rivet in Tomodachi Life and now I fear I will have to make a billion pets to hop around the island 🐾

Rivet returned to Tulip Town and realized even though she’s over a year old now she is still shorter than the tulips themselves 🌷

We went and saw some life sized Moomins today at The National Nordic Museum 🌊 ⚓️ ✨
