My partners next comic!

Metroid Prime 4 - I do like that it feels like a 3d Zelda, but I’ll wait and see how a feel after another dungeon or 2. Makes me really wanna design a Samus suit.

always advised ppl to not look at (A)rtsta(I)on too much when looking for inspiration, looking at other mediums and other perspectives historic or cultural or individual origin will produce better designs. Anyway what do I know

Nothing blew me away but This looks great www.reddit.com/r/nintendo/s...

I want to be able to grip my stylus the way I do with traditional pencils. Wacom pens have short nibs that are only using the very tip, I know the apple pencil can do this (sort of) but I'm just wondering if any of you have come across a pen that can allow me to do this, be it custom or whatever.

Keep forgetting to post here, portrait study from a picture of FKA Twigs I found on pinterest. Drawn/painted in Photoshop. Really want to take my own photo refs again like I used to, but finding models and doing shoots...Maybe next year (any models in Vancouver interested let me know) #portrait

I guess I am obliged to get the new Wolverine games based solely on the fact that there appears to be a segment that takes place on the Sea to Sky Highway towards Squammish

Gonna be looking for new work soon. Concept, Vis Dev, Art Direction for later this year and into 2026. Will also be planning some mentorship/teaching once I've had a little break.

Silksong starting to click. I think it’s just the fear of getting lost that keeps me from enjoying metroidvanias usually I have a very bad sense of direction even on a 2d plane

Make it perfect first, and then that’s it.

Hmm

Watto

Everyone tells me I have large hands, biggest they’ve ever seen. Here’s me holding a regular sized water bottle

Visiting Normandy, beautiful! Would live here in a heartbeat.

The salt water air weathers your metal shell. You wish you were breathing it in rather than a stale, filtered version of it. Wish you could see the sky in all its brilliant nuance rather than through pared down eyes made for killing.

Where have you gone, DANKMUS? The nation turns its lonely eyes to you

Some of my Loki Season 2 work, had a lot of fun - Artbook is out now if you wanna see more!

Marvel Studios' Loki: Season 2 - The Art of the Series has interesting pages at the back of unused ideas. You can see a spread of some here from artists @wesburt.bsky.social and @jeffsimpson.bsky.social! The book is out on August 5th! More in the replies 👇

I feel like we don't appreciate baking soda enough for its cleaning and...baking properties. Is there a dark said to it is it mined by children somewhere and there's only enough left for the next 5 years or can I openly celebrate it. Don't fail me now bluesky-reply-guy!

More personal work, as always it's useless for the portfolio but it's fun. Painted in Photoshop.

reluctantly accepting Donkey Kong Banaza is one of the best games ever made

I’m doing a “Purolator” run of Death Stranding 2, only some packages will be “delivered”, and if they are they’ll be at a depot 25 miles away

I really hope we see more games have this 90s pre rendered promotional image look. I know 90s 64/ps1 aesthetic is having a revival but it's usually the compressed in-game version of this look which is close but ...

I think the video I keep going back to the most on the internet for a cheer me up is this Moebuis doc. I mean half of the reason is Karl Bartos' banger soundtrack tho. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ht99...

I’m 8 years late to this but Cuphead is really good. Was afraid of the difficulty but turns out I kinda love schmups

I have a switch 2! ….. well time to let it collect dust for a bit I guess.

Adobe is forcing my partners studio pay more for their lisences and cramming it full of AI bloat that they have no intention of using and didn’t ask for. Just wondering if this was happening at other studios.

An ape I painted about 10 years ago

Thinking about these guys

Can any arborists on here explain to me why vancouver has the occasional arbutus tree (madrone to the yanks) yet Seattle just an hour or 2 drive away is LOUSY with them? It’s not fair

Hope to share some lesser known artists on here. Bertha Wegmann, 1847-1926, Danish painter. Always look to her work to see how amazingly she portrays these dark fabrics...

me: "I should really work on my own IP" also me: "I'm going to think far too hard about how to bring back the QUAKE franchise in a fresh, visually interesting way that pays homage to the 90s grunge/industrial era it come from while incorporating surrealist/absurdist elements that will... "

I love that the backs of magic cards still have that kitschy 90s design. please never change.

sure would be cool if the Art Directors Guild could do anything similar about the various PRODUCTION DESIGNERS, COSTUME DESIGNERS, and DIRECTORS using this shit

Summer game fest is over I guess? Not too much stood out to me, but off the top of my head, “Ambrosia” @softrains.bsky.social and @doublefine.com Double Fine’s “Keeper” and come to mind as grabbing my interest.

I’ve found myself replaying doom2016 on ps5, I think it’s still my favourite of the whole series, and still holds up so well visually it’s ridiculous.

London UK! Will be speaking at concept 101 this summer. Tickets available June 12th. Cya there!
