I wanted to try and do a little more elaborate concept art work for Land of Ur. Gave me the chance to design an airship for the bad guys. 😁 Was a lot of fun! #art #sketch #drawing #illustration #fantasy #scifi

VOLTUAR USED SCRATCH! I added two extra inbetween frames and played around with the timing. I think this is as good as I can get it for now. But I still would like the swipe to feel a little more snappy. Maybe smear out the inbetween frames? #art #wip #digitalart #sketch #oc #animation #gamedev

CHOMP. CHOMP. CHOMP. What if Pokemon still was 2D and it had these kinds of attack animations? I wanted to get a little bit more into 2D animation this year. So yeah, baby steps. I think I need another frame to ease into the rest frame. #art #digitalart #oc #animation #2Danimation #gamedev

Terriquil, little terror-bird anklebiter! #gamedev #art #conceptart #illustration #oc #sketch #fantasy

This is it! I finished my first comic chapter in like 15 years. Felt great to revisit the passion of my teens! Please let me know how I did and if you want me to continue with a chapter two! - Land of Ur - the comic - chapter 1 - pages 10-12 #art #illustration #comic #booksky #webcomic #fantasy #oc

This is a earth type Ur monster for our monster taming game. Can I call him Quartzenegger? #gamedev #art #conceptart #illustration #oc #sketch #fantasy

Rigara village is having a monster battling tournament! The first bout is about to begin!! - Land of Ur - the comic - chapter 1 - pages 7-9 #art #illustration #comic #booksky #webcomic #fantasy #oc

These three kinda have starter trio energy, right? So here's a sketch. Their types would be Deep Blue (water), Cyclone (wind) and Bolt (electric). The types are ordered alphabetically to make it easy to remember. Each type beats the two following. #art #sketch #drawing #illustration #fantasy #oc

And now for something a little lighter! Here's page 4-6 of my monster taming comic. Yup that's right, the monsters are called Ur (or Uru for plural) and they can be "bound" to simple pottery jars. More of an ancient vibe than Pokemon #art #illustration #comic #comics #manga #webcomic #fantasy #oc

I wanted to try and get that classic pokemon poster look where they skrunch all the pokémon together. Meet my collection of Ur monsters so far! I also finally got my first attempt at a logo in colors. Tell me what you think! #art #illustration #pokemon #fantasy #oc

Nu from Chrono Trigger. It only appears when it rains. Definitely some Totoro energy in Toriyama's design. I could also see it appearing in Ponyo. Sketch by me. Original pixel art from the game for comparison. #art #illustration #gaming #JRPG

Have a look if you're a fan of monster taming, creature collecting, Pokémon, Digimon or just JRPG's in general! I'll be bundling these in 3 pages with a one panel eye-catcher. It's pretty hard to get your comic actually read on bsky. #art #illustration #comic #comics #manga #webcomic #fantasy #oc

Roly Poly!! It's my favorite monster from Chrono Trigger. The whole mechanic where the imps could ride them, but you still had to target and kill them separately was so impressive to me. Square Enix didn't have to add that, but they did. #art #illustration #gaming #JRPG

I always thought Chrono Trigger's enemies had very interesting expressions! Of course Toriyama sensei had something to do with that. :) Bless the man. These sketches are all based on in-game pixel art fyi. #art #sketch #drawing #illustration #fantasy #gamedev

I based this concept sketch on a pair of Jaguar sitting in a tree. I thought it was too cute how the little one was just casually hanging on to the branch. #art #sketch #drawing #illustration #fantasy #oc

I finished the side walk-cycles for these lil critters. You will find them struttin all over our gameworld. Once you get hitboxed the true monster gets revealed. They're simple shapes but it was still hard to animate. I'm no pro so they pretty floaty in places. Tips welcome! #gamedev #indiedev #art

Bibeak!! Bibeak is based on Anurognathus, but you guys already knew that, I'm sure. #art #sketch #drawing #illustration #fantasy #oc #paleoart

Here's a collage of all the Ur monsters I've done colored art of so far. I wanted to see them together. :) Let's do a popularity poll! Who are the favorites? There's 4 rows of 4. So you can just drop a number. Names are in alt text if interested #art #illustration #gamedev #oc #monster #creature

Voltuar wants to play catch, but the Uyu monk is having his serene moment. The first Uyu temple you come across will be in the middle of the Urwood. #art #sketch #drawing #illustration #fantasy #oc

This is Penjin. I'm still not exactly sure what he is, but I love him! Let him float into your hearts! #gamedev #art #conceptart #illustration #oc #sketch #fantasy

Aqualgo is a wetland dwelling Ur monster. It evolves from Loofal. The former is based on Allosaurus and Baryonix, the latter is based on Dilophosaurus. He's an older design so I don't have that many quality sketches to show of his conception. #gamedev #art #conceptart #illustration #oc #paleoart

As a kid, during the jurassic park craze I used to have a Dilophosaurus toy which could shoot water out of it's mouth. Then when the pokemon craze hit, it got repurposed as a water type pokemon together with a whole other bunch of toy animals we had. #gamedev #art #conceptart #illustration #oc

ALL MOTH #art #sketch #drawing #illustration #fantasy #oc

This is still one of my favorite monster designs I did so far. Who doesn't like a knuckle-walking gorilla-horse right? Sasqwoosh is based on the extinct Chalicotherium. It can create eery mist in the dense forests it inhabits. #gamedev #indiedev #art #illustration #conceptart

I finally sat down and drew some free form concept art again for my monster taming game and it felt good. Might have gone a little wild on the details for the gate. I fit five Ur monsters in there and plenty of other symbolism. 😅 #art #sketch #drawing #illustration

Just a flying little Ur monster that's happy to be alive. It's soaring out of its cave temple to catch some prey. I call him Bibeak! #art #sketch #drawing #illustration #fantasy #oc #paleoart

Page 12 of my Land of Ur, webcomic. Last time Terrigul just snapped out of his paralyzing shiver. Guess he's not wasting any time after that scare! That wraps up this fight. Taron & Terrigul advance to the next round!! #art #illustration #comics #manga #drawing #booksky #webcomic #bd #fantasy #oc

I just finished watching "The Worlds Divide". This should not be humanly possible... Mr. Jackson wrote, directed and animated this movie by himself. We have to celebrate this genius, this perseverance, this awe-inspiring human achievement! The story is as good as the presentation! Go watch it!

I'm always looking for a sense of strong light when I'm shading. Which wasn't easy in this one because I think I made the lines a little too thick. This beefy Terror bird and Snow Platypus are about to duke it out!! #art #illustration #comics #comic #manga #drawing #booksky #comicsky #webtoon #bd

Land of Ur, a monster taming RPG, the webcomici pages 1-11 #art #illustration #comics #comic #manga #drawing #booksky #wip #comicsky #webtoon #manhwa #bd

I've been wanting to show these concept sketches for our RPG. But I was wondering if I should. Then I decided to only post them on bluesky. There's no AI scrape feeding here yet right? I draw these to try and get the sense of wonder and awe that I want to evoke in our game. #gamedev #gameart #art

This is Dolmok. The design is a mash up between a Paraceratherium (biggest land mammal ever) and the famous Brachiosaurus. It roams a big canyon filled with toxic fumes. It sticks out it's head above to breathe. Like a whale, it's nostrils are on top. #gamedev #art #illustration #conceptart #manga

Makaras can be found in rivers and lakes in the land of Ur. It's based on the actual mythological Makara from India and Sri Lanka, which ranges from elephant with a fish tail to crocodile with a peacock tail. It serves as a guardian to temples. #gamedev #indiedev #art #conceptart #illustration

Conceptart for a promotional one chapter comic I'm working on. Terrigul (Flame type) is jumping Kanadak (Glacial) for an attack. But Kanadak has the Iguanodon-like weaponized thumbs to watch out for! #art #gamedev #indiedev #illustration #conceptart

The firebreathing Toragon roams his hilly lakeside territory. I thought it was fun to have a dragon-like bug monster that also kinda looks like a long neck dinosaur. Tell me if it's too silly hehe. Another concept sketch for our monster taming game. #gamedev #indiedev #art #conceptart #illustration

When I was designing this flying bug monster I immediately imagined our antagonists riding them. Bugs are one of 3 clades in our game, which allows them to have all kinds of types. This is a Arcane type. It wears the skulls of carcasses it consumed. #art #gamedev #indiedev #illustration #conceptart

I woke up this morning with a strong urge to come up with a cover page for this monster taming comic I've been making. It also forced me to finally come up with a logo for Land of Ur. 😅 Let me know what you think! #art #illustration #comics #comic #manga #drawing #booksky #comicsky #webtoon #bd

Mennekee can be found mostly in coastal waters in the land of Ur. Many temples are surrounded by a sacred grove, this one in particular is surrounded by water on top of that. Uyu monks live here. I made a concept of one, earlier. #art #gamedev #indiedev #illustration #conceptart

Haven't shown many gifs yet on bluesky. Here's an attack animation for the Bolt type in our monster taming RPG, Land of Ur. #gamedev #indiedev #animation #vfx #2D

Been working on some village assets for our 2D monster taming game. I want it to look like these people could be from the bronze age but at the same time have some nifty technology here and there. The white pillars are ancient moss trees if anybody's wondering 😅 #gamedev #art #indiedev

A Terrigul mother hen on a stroll with the youngins. I'm having so much fun with these conceptarts. Makes the world I'm creating come alive. :) #gamedev #indiedev #art #conceptart #illustration
