Here's the painting I did for Kromlech's release date trailer, without logos and uncropped.

And here's the (rather quickly made) painting I did for the trailer's thumbnail:

Have you seen the live action (yes) trailer for Kromlech? It was made some years ago, and the game's concept changed quite a bit since then. It was one of the existing bits of media I was shown before I joined the studio and it was a big reason why I did. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUTN...

Kromlech will release in Early Access on the 5th of March! www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKfO...

Another vibe concept, this time trying to finalize the direction for a minor faction of former bandits and outlaws turned holy-tree-protectors.

Here's a "vibe" concept I did for warriors of the Gwern faction. Its purpose was to narrow down how stylized we wanted to go with the armours and characters and there were some limitations I had to stick to. You can see the left guy pretty much spot on in the screenshots (not the fancy boots tho.)

I did a short (very sleep deprived -___-) interview about Kromlech and my work on it. Probably didn't explain a lot of stuff I wanted to, I don't remember and I'm not watching this again. XD www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcO5...

I've completed a comic adaptation of one of my favorite Clark Ashton Smith stories, THE ABOMINATIONS OF YONDO, which turns 100 this year! It's my first comic in full color, which was a hell of a learning experience. It's available now digitally or in print by mid-March. lizardbrainart.bigcartel.com

Turning 24 today! 🧙‍♂️ Shares of my art are very much appreciated 🌛

Speaking of my "put a little funny face on it" philosophy of design, here's some smithing props. (Yes, the anvil is in the game.)

Another weapon concept for Kromlech, this time it's maces. These are more loosely based on historical stuff, less so on specific finds.

A concept for "Celt" axes in Kromlech. In reality they span a looong period of time going way before the Celts.

More weapons for Kromlech - this time for the bronze age Barrow Folk. (who tend to rise from their unquiet burial mounds lately) Again, lots of real world stuff in there.

this is what kobolds look like in Omios Ures. cat-salamander rascal-pests. they use small shadows and dark nooks as portals to get around your house and steal your shit. at the first sign of kobold activity, witch doctors recommend placing candles around crannies at night to ward off the bastards.

Dunno man. It is better, but like...the 3Dness was not the primary issue there, I think. I always thought the way the anime did water was so incredibly atmospheric, just the way it glittered invited me to adventure. You could tweak the materials, lighting and processing and the old would be fine.

I need to survive and ship our bloody game, so I can play this!!!!!

I guess I can show off my raw footage for rotoscoping so it’s not *too* much of a spoiler.

My main design philosophy on Kromlech is: If Celt Item -> add funny little face (mustache optional). So yes, the mace on the left has little faces with mustaches. :D

You can wishlist Kromlech on Steam, it's coming to Early Access in March: store.steampowered.com/app/2406680/...

I love swords, doing the sword concept art on this game is my happy time. Here's a bunch of undead giant swords:

I really enjoy our characters. Technically they're just puppets you put different hair and clothes on so they can fight the hero, but...I think they're neat. Here's Marauder, our meaty boy. (and his two new hairstyles)

wait... you HAVEN'T HEARD of omios ures?!

Here's a few newer screenshots from Kromlech, the game I've worked on for the last three years.

Been a freelance illustrator for 12 years, now part time. Full time art director on a bronze/iron age inspired sword&sorcery UE5 game. More info coming soon. store.steampowered.com/app/2406680/... (I took my website down recently to save on money and also F squarespace, so deviantart has to do.)

Spent 9.5 hours in various trains today, all for a 30 min interview. I don't want to be around humans for a week. Prague's kinda terrible, still.

Almost. There. Hgggnnnnn!!

🎃< Last showcase video for Banquet for Fools! Full release in 10 days! youtu.be/uxfZxSovz3M

I've been looking forward to this!

The Steam Next Fest demo for WITHERING REALMS is live! Join Clover and her doll as they explore the occult frontier. Encounter horrible creatures, slot new tools into the doll's missing right arm, and defeat the first two bosses. Get the demo: store.steampowered.com/app/3441990/...

Today I woke up and punched a wall, scaring my dog as I cursed in pain. Yes, like that scene in Kill Bill 2. I might be a bit stressed.

I tried the Underkeep demo and it plays very well. Intuitive modernized controls, lovely interactions and classic-feeling combat. The art is very pleasant. I'll get the game on release for sure.

Man, optimization in UE5 really is unintuitive if you come from previous paradigms. An object remade into assemblies of geometry instead of masked cards has twice as many polygons, but 1/3 less memory cost and nearly zero of the previous terrible overdraw. If this works out, I'll post a comparison.

My dog when I'm at the computer: *I sleep* My dog when I enter the kitchen: HUMAN I HAVE NOT EATEN FOR WEEKS LISTEN TO ME WHIMPER SO SAD POOR DOGGO LOOK I'LL SHOW YOU WHERE THE BLUEBERRIES ARE LOOK THERE I'M LITERALLY POINTING MY HEAD AT THEM IN THE PANTRY FEEEEEEED MEEEEEEEE

The boys. (testing new hairdo options for the bandidos)
