Buried Treasure changed my life - doubt I'd be working on game#2 if it weren't for the 'holds up against Prey' headline. A small contribution to keep a distinguished, artful and amusingly controversial (or controversially amusing?) video game writer type person in business, you'd be mad not to.

Low stakes frustration, but it's bothering me how the Immersive Sim tag on Steam has been rendered absolutely useless by the amount of [Whatever] Store Simulator games tagging themselves with that, rather than the Deus Ex, Thief, System Shock inspired games. A tag flooded by hundreds of clones.

Hey #PortfolioDay ! I'm Esteban Sanchez, New Mexico based illustrator! I love making key art for games (like steam capsule art) and comic covers! Feel free to send me a DM or email me through the email in my bio and on my website! esanchezillustration.com

Bluesky format crop of the poster/cover art I did for the physical edition of Norco!

Has Kay on a motorcycle with Monkey. Mills and the orb are also here. The Norco industrial skyline silhouetted in the background with billowing golden hour clouds

A bluesky image crop of the fan art I did of Psycho Patrol R! Has the protagonist holding a 357 revolver and Mosin Nagant. His floating blue orb assistant next to him and his trusty mech behind.

A bluesky image crop of the fan art of Maschinen Krieger I did. The lone mech standing in a tide pool, clouds in the background

Bluesky image crop of the key art I did of PIGFACE. The protagonist, Exit, stands with baseball bat in hand. Her phone illuminating her face. An industrial skyline is silhouetted in the background with billowing clouds, seems like I've got a thing for that sort of environment lol.
