Join Tom, the village’s new postgirl, and get to know the locals, perhaps a little too well. Her method, although controversial, is highly effective: intense, obsessive stalking.

Hi #PortfolioDay ! Beloup here. I'm drawing things, mostly for indie video games, but also just for fun. I love Scifi, Fantasy, Horror and cute creatures. I'd be honored to share my passions with you here 🙇✨

An Final Fantasy X fan art focus on ruins of Besaid Island, with Tidus and Yuna in the center (and the rest of the group in the back)

An illustration made for the first anniversary of the game Haven, as I was concept artist and animator on the game. The illustration is an inside view of the center of the "Nest", the caravan-spaceship hub. There is also Grouik, a big blue lizard on the couch.

An illustration made for Swing Swing Submarine. You can find a reference for each of their games, and also the pilot of the aforementioned Submarine
