Portrait concept sketches, focused on high-end urban fashion while also trying to diversify how I draw human characters. #digitalart #clipstudiopaint #characterdesign

Taking a far-more-casual approach to this account. Which means I don't have any problem with my art being bumped down by sharing my objectively correct ranking of The Amazing Digital Circus episodes and characters tier lists.

Year of the horse, eh? 🏇 #digitalart #clipstudiopaint #crossover #yearofthehorse

I'm back after a month of much needed social media detox Anyways I've been working on a new Hypnagogia game A short demo will be out end of February~ 💿✨

Watched The Amazing Digital Circus a few weeks ago. I have a clear fav. #tadc #kinger #digitalart #clipstudiopaint

Artists, grab your tools! 🖌️ We'd like to have your art added as an easter egg to the game! 🎨 Come over to our Discord to learn more, grab our template and canvas size, draw something on it, and we'll add it into the game! ✨ discord.gg/whalesandgames

Operation SAIL for Strategic Advance In Lisbon has begun! 🚢 I've travelled to Portugal to meet up my good ol' pal @jorgegamedev.com and to get Townseek on track for a full-blown sprint. Let's get this ship out in the ocean! 🌮 I plan to share more pictures and findings as the trip goes! 📸

For this #screenshotsaturday, here's an introduction and recap of Townseek, our cozy exploration and trading game! 🧭 Whether you're new to our hand-drawn world or a veteran explorer who has been waiting for the release, here's what you can expect from our game! 🦈

As you know, I'm not recovered yet from recent undue stress. If I may self-indulge for my birthday, I'd like to ask you something for today. 🙇 If you have the time, I'd really thank you if you could write down or doodle, something about what Townseek or our team at @whalesandgames.com means to you.

#OnePiece realization. Whenever a baby appears in a flashback, expect a ton of tragedy to follow.

This is a very specific request, but we're trying to get our @whalesandgames.com presence on these platforms going because of game marketing or something. 😵‍💫 If you're on them, can you help us with a follow please? 🙏 📸 Instagram: instagram.com/whalesandgames 📽️ TikTok: tiktok.com/@whalesandga...

Oh dang, missed you all there!

This week's One Piece chapter is both beautiful and tragic. It's also confirmation bias for Townseek, going about all the good that can come from learning from others' cultures.

3 Huion tablets at my disposal. The 20 inch one that's been malfunctioning, the 13 one that a friend lent me to continue working on Townseek, while waiting for the 16 one to arrive.

I bought Terraria in 2012, and after last having played it 6 years ago, I have finally finished a playthrough. I'm glad to still be able to call it my favorite game of all time. 🌳

Me celebrating my birthday after 2 months of self-consciousness and art block

Anyone's got some tips to deal with an extended creative block or imposter syndrome? It's been eating me lately. (Game's great, but it feels it's the only thing I've got going now...) #digitalart

Townseek leak of the day: We're in heated debate about removing one of the two cookies.

Townseek leak of the day: I drew two cookies.

Despite Oblivion landing on us out of nowhere on our launch day--Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3, our new matchroidvania, is on Steam's New and Trending! If you've been enjoying the game, PLEASE leave a Steam review. It makes a world of difference! store.steampowered.com/app/2116510/...

Hay-o. Not very active recently. Rarely do any artwork these days, it seems. BUT oh man, the stuff I'm making for Townseek is looking rad. It'll be worth the wait (for hopefully plenty of you, at least)!

Sharing this. No reason. #NintendoDirect www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmo1...

Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale featured a team of talented, passionate people working on a game with enormous, unrealistic boots to fill by making a competitive popular-IP crossover fighting game. History repeats itself with Multiversus. Sad to see it won't live up to its potential. #gaming

The big thing happening with our team? Here it is! 🌮 I'm staying 50 days in Tampico in México alongside @moskidraws.bsky.social for a work marathon on @whalesandgames.com! 🐳 Our goal is in sight! That by March, Townseek is fully playable from the start to finish, especially the game's main story. 🧭

I'm not sure where this is headed, but I'm having an absolute blast drawing characters from this Universe! #art

Guy at MAGFest was cosplaying as the Wheel of Fortune. He would ask people to choose a number between one and four and then say "NOPE"

Doing some troubleshooting. My Huion Kamvas tablet has had problems for a week, now it's outright not turning on. Granted, it's 5 years old, and has served me well so far. Just concerned I might need a new one before our game is done. #digitalart #clipstudiopaint #huion

I don't think I need to clarify my stance on the topic but these soccer folks summed it up

Literally, Sharks (complete collection) I can do this as a print if anyone is interested? £45 plus P&P for 12x12in. DM me! #art #sharks #literally

I for one think that a new updated version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim would make a great launch title for the Nintendo Switch 2.

Managed to pick up a Switch 2. Bigger than I expected. Double everything. Makes sense.

The Jackbox Survey Scramble might be one of my new favourite games from @jackboxgames.com! 📦 Very easy to get into, extremely replayable, and the ranking of some of the answers left us dumbfounded. And for the screenshot below, yes, everyone in the lobby gave that as the answer at the same time. 😅

Happy New Year! 🎆 I've been taking it chill to start the year and to organise thoughts and ideas. 🙏 Last year was weird. There were moments filled with immense joy, but at the same time, I was subject to so much stress that I only just learned I've had my wrist fractured for the past two months. 🫠

My Icon comms are open! just shoot a dm ^^ #commission

A lot of this year was weird for me and I had lots of bad luck and my artist career seems to have died along with Twitter's demise, but! I managed to create these art pieces that I'm really happy with. I hope 2025 will be better! 🙏 #art

To close off the year, a big thank-you from our team to everyone who cheered us on this past year! ✨ We had an amazing GDC, Gamescom, and DevGAMM, earned two awards, and still love our seasonal artworks! Townseek's development continues going strong for release next year! 🧭 #cozygame #indiegamedev

Wrapping up the year by making a thread of various of my sketches, concepts, doodles and otherwise incomplete drawings! 🎨 Check the alts if you're curious about more in-depth info. 🧵 #digitalart #clipstudiopaint #characterdesign #originalcharacter

Happy Holidays and Season's Greetings from all of our team and friends at Whales And Games! 🎄 Take it chill and enjoy the snow! ☃️ Whalechan got herself a huge snow globe of Stonehedge from Townseek, while Polite Whale went inside it to swim in the snow! ❄️ #digitalart #cozygame #indiegamedev
