Some less seen kit-based sketches done for Fogbank for this week's throwback! I remember this one being a material challenge; most refined materials like lumber and stone being recycled relics but leather being one of the few renewables. Freelance schedule now OPEN!

Check out my absurd, brain melting, typing bullet hell arcade game TYPECAST. It's cheap and it will hurt you. store.steampowered.com/app/2536650/...

Luc is on Bluesky, rejoice!

new sketches ready for paint, which one should I paint first? these are based on my "recursive error" RPG prototype.

a few close-ups without context, nice to see them outside of the full scene I think!

It's the last #KidLitArtPostcard of the year! May the frog fairy bring a little magic to everyone's winter season 💫 I'm Victoria, an Argentinian illustrator living in France. Looking for new projects and representation! 💻 victoriamaderna.com ✉️ [email protected]

Combining several old doodles into one piece. Trying out new brushes.

Yolo often stands with his little back toes crossed, which I find ridiculously cute! You can see vultures don't have bulky feet and talons built for grasping/carrying like other raptors. Their more chicken-like feet are meant for bracing on food to pull at it with their powerful beaks, instead.

Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

ghost in the shell / psx exact, 1997

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

thought I’d give the EN translation of the Saturn Grandia a whirl, and one thing I’d forgotten in the quarter century or so since I last played it was just how richly-detailed the interior scenes are for a fully-3D RPG of this era

finally some good news

October 19 1999, WinBack: Covert Operations debuted on the N64 in the Americas! After making a TON of strategy/action games such as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Dynasty Warriors titles.. Winback was developer/publisher KOEI's attempt to branch out into new genres!

I have special rates for Indies and would love love love it if this became a core part of my business! Send me an email! I had a blast working with Dave and the team at Trellis. We set up some firm foundations together for Art Direction and Concepts and I can't wait to see where they take it!

the early evolution of an RPG prototype, - watercolors done for the heck of it, one of many - watercolors scanned and used as a kit for a store interior - rinse repeat step 2 to learn it's limits - borrow textures from props to prototype floors and walls and quickly assemble a more complete scene!

one of my favourite goofs—if there was one thing we did at campo it was Commit to the Bit

Goose on the loose!! #art #illustration

Indie devs, if you need help with art direction, you could not ask for a better partner than @scholes.bsky.social You probably know him from his beautiful concept art but trust me when I say that is just the tip of the iceberg.

the saga continues; - small room tests, borrowing prop textures for walls and floors, etc - exploring another watercolor painting, now a kit - back to the first room, exploring greater realism - restart, greater UX focus but still seeking the spontaneous
