I guess I never posted this. This was a colored sketch I made as a base for promo art used for Midas Merge's second garden release. It was basically a triptych. I handed it off to other artists on our team who went and made it clean and prettier for the app stores. #art

I'll be there!

It’s that time of year again where I start to bug you about my art market! 12/5-12/6! From 12-6pm. Lots of great vendors this year! Mark that calendar

Just chuffed that a creature I designed is now voiced by Kirby's VA. Yes this game is still in development. Updates are on its discord and kickstarter page. (and I'm hoping there will be a Poglings bsky account!)

More work stuff! Midas Merge's Halloween Garden event is live. Here are concepts for a promo image (the final, made beautifully by my colleague Christine Macternen) can be seen in-game. I did a rough color thumb, and a clean up with color blocks. Including some additional concepts for the garden.

May as well post while it's seasonally appropriate - Last year I did the art for a proof of concept for a game that we didn't move forward with. I thought it was super cute and had a lot of fun working on it.

Our games industry is people. Our studios are people. Our teams people, our games by people for people. Our games are made by people, in groups of people, in teams of people, making people things for people. The magic is people, and the people deserve so much better than all this. I am so sorry.

I think Nick's right, and there's value in seeing all these amazing looking games... but! I agree that game art direction has gotten worse. Because all the limits are essentially gone these days, there are very few technical hurdles forcing people to make good art decisions.

A friend recently was reflecting that they felt art direction in games has gotten generally worse. I think it's a good use of our time & energy to celebrate the fact that while there are a lot of whiffs in the world today, the recent era has also seen some of the greatest of all time

Another big update came out for Paradise Paws today! So here is some new concept art from me. Introducing the game's newest villain, Blair! The expression sheet was too much fun to make. Her in-game character animations came out so so so good.

New stupid scam alert. Scammers are now reaching out trying to get photos of your face to deep fake videos and con your friends and followers out of $$$ through counterfeit accounts. Fucking ridiculous.

Now that it is Chinese New Year (happy Year of the Horse!), I can share this matriarchal NPC I designed for Paradise Paws' Lunar New Year event!

I can finally share this concept art, now that the Firefly Valley has been released for Midas Merge! It's so hard to pick my favorites of these creatures. But it was so fun getting to work with so many bright colors and glowy effects for this garden.

The 2024 Winter Garden is live in Midas Merge! I got to do a little edit to last year's promo illustration, to introduce the polar bears we added to this year's garden. I provided the sketches and color block ins, and our lovely principle artist Christine polished it for marketing. #art
