This box art also ages like a fine wine. It is only made better with the distressing and scuffs. Time is literally making this cooler

I was just about to say the exact same thing. Maybe it'll be like Kong VS Godzilla and they team up against a mecha-data-center.

PSA to any indie dev listening. You want some solid advice on how to present your game to the world... Listen to Will!

Hello! Here's a little bit about my approach for this year's Inktober Taking inspiration from the many books I have read to our daughter over the years, I have set on a quest to explore character design featuring animals My goal is to have a little village worth of characters when it is finished!

Yeah man. Your little one is still very wee. You're making the right call

Check out Hey Duggie if you haven't yet. It is one of the best kid's shows ever and has such a positive and hopeful vibe.

Solid advice. Thanks! I am still getting use to them and still lean more toward the shorter lake style. I only get to kayak a bit on the St Lawrence river in the summer here in Ontario. Some choppy days when the wind picks up on the open parts and that can be fun

What an awesome looking adventure. I have yet to try salt water kayaking. Totally on my bucket list. Thanks for sharing!

One might even go so far as to say it was a bit of a... Gong Show

Really great breakdown of not just the designs, but the thought process behind why some worked and some didn't (like how Cobb's work was perfectly suited for the human crafts but maybe not otherworldly enough for the derlict)

I love discovering mushrooms on hikes. One even became reference for a painting I did last year. You can find some really fun ones out there!

This whole exchange caused me to spit coffee on my keyboard

How can a team with such a cool idea be so short sighted? Especially with a game featuring tanks in an industrial setting. Asset libraries are full of stuff like that, all made by humans. Your lasagne analogy is spot on.

Gavin McCarthy @artbygavin.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Ahh... That makes a lot of sense. Thanks!

Getting some serious Spawn vibes from this and I totally don't mind.

Gavin McCarthy @artbygavin.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Agreed. I am also getting some serious Spawn vibes from this. Between Joker's design and Batman's new cape.

IT’S HAPPENING. Curse of Resthaven arrives October 29 on PC, Mac, PS5 and Xbox. Two days before Halloween felt like the appropriate time to unleash the curse. And there’s more: we're giving you a bit longer to play the current demo and earn your bonus gold + skill points…

Ron Cobb was not only a masterful concept artist, but also an amazing editorial illustrator. A rare combination I have always appriciated

This image is too much... I love it!

There has to be a spot of comedy in the fact my typo of "Rouge Trooper" was in a post about a movie featuring genetically modified super soldiers with BLUE skin 🤦‍♂️ Always proof your posts, friends!

Gavin McCarthy @artbygavin.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

I'll do my best to spread the word and fill some seats when you do. But maybe I'll be more mindful of typos 😅

Gavin McCarthy @artbygavin.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

I had the pleasure of checking out Rouge Trooper on the last day of TIFF. What a fun ride! It was a perfect blend of gritty scifi war movie and witty comedy. A real love letter to the source material and VERY British. It was also really cool to meet @manmademoon.bsky.social (been a fan since Moon)

It was a total blast of a movie! I am so happy I was able to catch it at TIFF and see it on the big screen. Thanks for bringing it to Toronto Hats off to you and the team!

LOVE seeing this breakdown of the visdev for the prequel. It also reminds me to get off my ass and play the original game. Can't wait to "Rambo" my way through both environments.

Totally! And lots of other little shops/restaurants to check out. Kensington Market (and Spadina in general) is a fun stretch with lots of fun food options to explore in a relatively compact area. For transit, the subways are more reliable than surface routes. Plus areas around TIFF are walkable.

I caught a screening here in Toronto a couple weeks ago. So happy I did

Welp... I know what I'm listening to today.
