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

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

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 checked and there is no #Esluna, "The Worlds Divide" fanart on bluesky yet?! I always need practice drawing women and guns so here's an armed nun from the movie. I loved their designs! @djaxx.bsky.social #art #illustration

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

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

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

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

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

Page 10 & 11, the monster taming tournament continues! Kannadak is pulling out some nifty moves! "Sonic shiver!" "Ice blow!!" Will Terrigul be able to recover?! #art #illustration #comics #comic #manga #drawing #booksky #wip #comicsky #webtoon #manhwa #bd

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

Pretty proud of this panel. Too bad it's kinda small on the page. Kannadak, the Snow Platapus, is preparing an icy blow!! Next 2 pencil pages coming soon! #art #illustration #comics #comic #manga #drawing #booksky#comicsky#wip

I got 3 more pages in pencils before we leave to Korea. Here's pages 7&8. The battle between Terrigul, the beefy Terrorbird and Kannadak, the horned Snowplatypus is finally STARTING!! Please find the previous 6 pages in my MEDIA tab. 😁 #gamedev #art #illustration #comics #manga #drawing #booksky

Page 9! When Terrigul, the Terrorbird gets scared, it looks more like a chicken. 🐤 Kannadak, the Snowplatypus is looking to get a surprise combo hit in! Please visit my MEDIA tab to read the other 8 pages! Reposting helps a lot! #gamedev #art #illustration #comics #manga #drawing #booksky #wip

With these concepts I wanted to quickly slap on some colors to get the idea across. But I couldn't resist adding some shading to this old one. The mon is Mokdori which is like a brachy-lama hybrid. Mokdori is korean and means scarf or neck(mok)-wrap(dori) litterally. #gamedev #art #illustration

Am I allowed to really like the hat I designed for Dr. Omot? The doctor is going to feature in the short promotional comic I'm doing. So I've been drawing him a lot. Kanadak, his main Ur monster, went through some changes since I drew this sketch. #gamedev #indiedev #art #illustration #conceptart

Just wanted to let you guys know I'm about 10 pages into a script of a promotional comic for Land of UR. And about 3 pages into first draft sketches. It's a process, right. But here's an Ur-pillar to commemorate these first steps! #art #gamedev #indiedev #illustration #conceptart #comic

Page 5 & 6 of the Land of Ur promo comic. Pages 7-13 are going to be almost non-stop action. I might've rushed the setup a little to get to this part. Some good ol' fun :) Previous pages in the comments. Please follow, like & RP! #gamedev #art #illustration #comics #manga #drawing #booksky #wip

Here you can see a Kannadak scaling a slope in the Munsan mountains. Although fresh mountain lakes is where you will find them most easily. Its ocarina-like blowhorns can create haunting melodies ominously preceding avalanches. #gamedev #indiedev #art #illustration #conceptart

Hi Bluesky! We are making a monster taming RPG set in a "happy apocalypse" sci-fi world. Here's a look at our battle screen. So yup no backsprites for your monsters but we're thinking about animating the avatars of your monsters when they attack or get hit. #gamedev

This was me figuring out Taron's design. I think the top left one might be close to final. He's supposed to be the "badass" uncle the main character looks up to in our monster taming RPG, Land of Ur. #gamedev #indiedev #art #conceptart #illustration

I'm thinking Trasasaur will be the Ur you see a lot of in our game. It's based on Lystrosaurus which was EVERYWHERE in the early Triassic. Making up 95% of some fossil beds. Channeling that Ratatta and Bidoof energy! #gamedev #indiedev #art #conceptart #illustration #paleoart

Another fun little NPC concept sketch for our monster taming RPG. Meet Huchu, the pepper merchant, and his Joltuar. #gamedev #indiedev #art #digitalart #illustration

Here are some design sketches for Voltuar (left) and Joltuar (right). They are based on Gorgonopsids. So I wanted to name one of these good boys Golgonjola so badly. Basically fusing Gorgonzola (the cheese) and Joule (the energy unit). #gamedev #indiedev #art #conceptart #illustration

Carcajaw is another monster I came up with before starting work on this game. What look like ears are supposed to be horns. I misinterpreted Bulbasaur's ears for the longest time as a kid. It's a scavenger, so it's front legs evoke vultures. #gamedev #indiedev #art #conceptart #illustration

Finished working on the cliffs and made a new villager, standing left from the old one. People from the same village wear the same color clothes in the land of Ur. So what are they looking at huh? #gamedev #indiedev #gameart #art

Been working on some forest assets. I wanted the canopy to blend together as to not have individual trees just standing there, like is common in top-down rpg's. Somehow I thought this would make it look more like a forest? Do the trees look huge enough? #gamedev #art #indiedev

Hi Bluesky! We are making a monster taming RPG set in a "happy apocalypse" sci-fi world. Our art style is focused on hand drawn 2D art. Battles will be turn-based from 1 on 1 tot 3 on 3. #gamedev

Cherazeen is probably the monster I spent the most time on so far creating. Look how crammed together these sketches are! He went from more sphinx like to more bird like and back again. #gamedev #indiedev #art #conceptart #illustration

This is Terrigul, a Terror-bird Ur for our monster taming RPG. I tried so hard not to get it looking like Final Fantasy's chocobo but here we are with the golden down. It's a Flame type so I tried my best to get something orange or red going, but it just didn't fit on the down. #gamedev #art

These are sketches showing how Bumblebeef came to be. I was exploring "what if bugs also look like cattle". I still really like the bottom left one. #gamedev #indiedev #art #conceptart #illustration

Sometimes a single night time scribble leads to a finalized design pretty quickly. I was happy with how I got a sense of motion into Ablazeon's flames. Ablazeon is the second design I made for Land of Ur, a monster taming RPG. #gamedev #indiedev #art #conceptart #illustration

Here's some concept sketches of an Arcane type beetle monster for our monster taming RPG. I haven't settled on a name yet. So far I got Mortor or Scarator. "Tor" is dutch for beetle. I kinda like Mortor but maybe it's a little too edgy? #gamedev #indiedev #art #conceptart #illustration
