Still slowly learning Godot. When it gets annoying I go back to what I know, which is drawing. I don’t think my little guy fits the vibe, but whatever. Someone had to explore this place. I need to start making some tile sets. #godot #gamedev #gameart #conceptart #indiegame #digitalart #platformer

Dorking around with this. I started learning Godot and threw this together quick. It’s all set up for doing parallax backgrounds. Been learning the tiniest bit of coding along the way. I don’t know that I’ll ever make a full game, but it’s fun. #illustration #conceptart #godot #gamedev #icantcode

Look at this little shit jump. I haven’t done animation before and it’s pretty satisfying. Everything I’ve done the past few months has been for work or a project I’m not sharing about yet. All the work stuff is pretty boring. Carved out a little me time. #animation #procreate

I was leaving the house and my wife was like, whatcha got in your pocket there? And I was like, a root beer and a cube. To be clear though, it was a Barqs root beer because I’m not a chump and my new Vin 4x4 cube again, because I’m not a chump.

These are some acrylic paintings I made last year. So, if you’ve played Fromsoft games or other rpgs, you know how stats work. These are little ghosts who found some really cool strength weapons they can’t wield. This is why you don’t put all your points in dex.

I think it’d be really funny to draw for a Metroidvania/side scroll game. And you’re probably looking at the third one and thinking “wow, that reminds me of, Ori.” Yes me too, but not as good.

New acrylic painting I did last week. 11”x14” on wood panel. Hadn’t painted in a few months. Always to good to warm up with something smaller. #illustration #acrylicpainting #skullpainting

So aside from making art, I recently wanted to learn how to solve a Rubik’s cube. That was a few weeks ago and I’m a full blown cube junkie now. I’m using CFOP as most do and am halfway through learning full OLL. I also have a Gan 14 pro showing up in the mail today and I’m way excited.

I did these guys in outfits after watching/playing the last of us about a year ago?. But I’ve also been doing root/zombie guys for a bunch of years. The tattoo is from 2015 and the acrylic painting was from a vinyl show from 2012. I have older ones, but the photos are on an old phone.

Haven’t posted for 10 months it seems. Here’s some decks from about 8 years ago. They are dragons on skateboards. Not riding skateboards, but like, painted pictures with paint… on skateboard decks.
