I’ve seen far too many responses from people who don’t get how expensive it is to live near the industry hubs like this and how so many of the people that’ll be affected are drastically underpaid compared to the cost of living. This isn’t about not wanting to be in the office.
An Activision Blizzard spokesperson has confirmed that the company will be ending most work-from-home practices, with Blizzard Entertainment employees being required to spend at least three days a week in office starting on July 10th.

09 - Paradise
Traditionally, paradise makes you think of sitting on a warm beach, drink in hand.
My idea of paradise is a quiet evening in a cabin, keeping warm by the fire while the snow slowly falls outside. That sounds perfect to me.

Attempted a stylized black sand beach material for today's prompt. Continuing the trend of a Designer & Zbrush workflow I generated the base procedurally did a quick sculpt pass on it.

I wanted to make stylized moss for today's prompt but wasn't aiming for a specific style. I let it develop organically as I went and ended up with this soft, almost painterly feeling moss.

In addition to the Crown coins there are now Chalice coins! I also did some adjustments to the bevels on the coins as well as the roughness. I'm thinking the treasure pile could use some Rubies/Sapphires/Emeralds though.
