More work stuff! Midas Merge's Halloween Garden event is live. Here are concepts for a promo image (the final, made beautifully by my colleague Christine Macternen) can be seen in-game. I did a rough color thumb, and a clean up with color blocks. Including some additional concepts for the garden.

A splash page with concepts of an illustration for Midas Merge's Halloween event garden. A black witch kitty popping out of a jack o lantern. A baby turtle and a witch fennec fox on either side of the pumpkin. Concepts for 3 levels of the black witch kitty. And assets showing off some fun Jack o Lantern plants.

May as well post while it's seasonally appropriate - Last year I did the art for a proof of concept for a game that we didn't move forward with. I thought it was super cute and had a lot of fun working on it.

Our games industry is people. Our studios are people. Our teams people, our games by people for people. Our games are made by people, in groups of people, in teams of people, making people things for people. The magic is people, and the people deserve so much better than all this. I am so sorry.

I think Nick's right, and there's value in seeing all these amazing looking games... but! I agree that game art direction has gotten worse. Because all the limits are essentially gone these days, there are very few technical hurdles forcing people to make good art decisions.

Hello Bluesky! I think I'm ready to share some art again 🩷

An illustration of a woman with three faces and glowing, iridescent eyes. Above her hover nine glowing icons representing the phases of the moon. Tree roots reach through nebulous green toward her, and blue stars glitter among them. She wears a black robe trimmed with black organza. Ribbons marked with symbols of the zodiac flow out from the neckline, flying toward the viewer. The illustration is painterly and feels classical in style. It is both eerie and beautiful.

The 2024 Winter Garden is live in Midas Merge! I got to do a little edit to last year's promo illustration, to introduce the polar bears we added to this year's garden. I provided the sketches and color block ins, and our lovely principle artist Christine polished it for marketing. #art

Wow, @realgdt.bsky.social 's Frankenstein is *definitive* 😮 I think in terms of sincerity, scope, costume, composition, grandiosity, and faithfulness to the spirit of the source material it succeeds in accomplishing for Frankenstein what Bram Stoker's Dracula hoped to do for Dracula

I know the joke of HaHa You Clowns is that they family is so cheesy and wholesome it's unrealistic and goofy, but I'll be honest. There's genuine sweetness and kindness in the characters, and we really need that right now. I love Joe Cappa's weird sense of humor.
