I like to draw, I like to make games. I don't do either often enough. I also like fantasy, horror, metal music, and animation. (They/Them)

Day 2 of drawing a bad drawing every day until I get better magically or something else happens.

I'm tired of the pressure to be a "good artist." From now on I'm making one bad drawing a day until I get better... or not. That's okay, because anything is better than this paralysis. Day 1: Anatomy is hard, I'm not bothering with it. #art #badart #vent

It's my birthday today, and because I am turning 31, am actively balding, and will probably die alone, I want to celebrate it by sharing some of my favorite pieces from this year. 🥳🥳🥳 If you want you can join the celebration by sharing these pieces, that would be very much appreciated. 🖤

Astral traveler. Tried a different coloring method inspired by Peter Mohrbacher's process videos. It was a very different way to work with color, starting off in grayscale, adding gradient maps, and then color touch ups at the end. I would up with a lot of layers, but got pretty good results. #art

I've been making a lot of art assets for #necrobrawlicon, but you never know if it works until it's all together in-engine... And I think it's looking pretty good! Still a lot more to go, but off to a good start 😁 #gamedev #indiegame #gameart

BRAINSTORM, card 4 of the 5 I currently have planned for NecroBrawlIcon (planning to add a lot more later, but got other things to work on first). I want to have at least some cards be upgradable throughout the game, so this one has 3 versions. #gameart #gamedev #necrobrawlicon

Some more possible card art for NecroBrawlIcon. I only have four cards implemented in engine yet, so at this point I’m drawing whatever I think will look cool and hoping I’ll come up with a good idea for a card to put it on. #gameart #gamedev #necrobrawlicon

It's the titular Necrobrawlicon! Eldritch tome, deck holder, glorified paperweight, and provider for all your snarky commentary needs. “Wake up Starshine. Time to fire up those dusty, old neurons. And try not to die so quick this time, will you?” #gameart #gamedev #rpg #necrobrawlicon

You can't have a deck builder game without card art. Gonna start phasing out the placeholder graphics, bit by bit Wanted a generic attack, a healing card, and "chain attack," but kind of struggling with the last one... Might repurpose the art later. #gameart #gamedev #illustration #necrobrawlicon

Still making progress with my deck-builder rpg, figured it was time to add a few common enemies. First up, watch out for free floating clusters of ectoplasm, drains your energy with every hit... real nasty for your health, if you weren’t already dead. #art #gameart #rpg #gamedev #necrobrawlicon

It's been a great experience working on some custom art for the infamous Occult Triangle Lab. Doing the porcelain shell of the "Panel Style" was particularly enjoyable, and I'm quite proud of the little touch of muscle visible between the plates ;)
