I thought I was just going to make a single release trailer for PSI, but several people suggested that I make one for NextFest and another for release. And honestly, I'm having so much fun making them! 😊

Reminder do NOT keeps funds in PayPal like it's a bank. It's not. It doesn't matter if you're a SFW or NSFW Artist.

If you sneeze wrong they will freeze your account and you will not get to access that money at all. Make sure you're transferring it out as often as you can.

A banner for the 3rd Annua Thinky Awards on Wednesday February 4 at 10am PST / 1pm EST / 6pm UTC. The banner art shows the thinky games mascot - a black blob with arms, legs and a single eye - holding up a trophy that looks like a decoder wheel. There are other blob-guys standing around in the middle of a colorful, stylized hedge maze.

For #screenshotSaturday, here's another puzzle from Puzzle Spy International. (Partly censored because your security clearance isn't currently high enough to see it all.) But solving this should help you locate the enemy base.

Wishlist and try the demo at s.team/a/3406690

A puzzle from Puzzle Spy International. There are some clues to the left with text areas to fill in, large polyomino pieces in the center that also get filled in with the answers to the left, and then a grid on the right where one can drag the polyominoes. I won't bother to tell you the clues as they're partially censored, nor list the answers as they're all wrong.

Another time-lapse inking video, this one of the geology museum in Rome, known affectionately as the Museo di Neo Geo. This was all done in Procreate.

Folks seemed to like the environment process details we posted last week so here’s a new look at process: the line art for the Paris exterior scene. This was “inked” in Procreate.

Even though release is still a little ways off, I spent the weekend working on a release trailer for the game. It's fun work as it ties in with my roots as an animator, and it's helpful to have awesome music from Alex Doty to sync it all up with. 😁

A partial screenshot from DaVinci Resolve showing part of a clip from a trailer-in-progress. At the bottom there are some partial clips on the timeline and in the upper right, there's a frame from the trailer showing one of the puzzles and the word "discover" superimposed over it.

For #ScreenshotSaturday I thought I'd share a process shot: Here's a '60s apartment in Paris from Puzzle Spy International, from rough thumbnails (and I made many many more than shown here!) through rough sketch, line art, and finished color.

#gameArt #VN #VNdev #indieGame #indieGameDev #puzzleGame
A collection of 8 rough thumbnail sketches done in blue pencil, showing various configurations and styles of rooms, walls, windows, couches, armoires, lights, etcetera. A finished sketch, still rather rough, showing a room with French molding, pictures on the wall, a big curved 1960s couch, curvy '60s coffee table and chair, a small bar table, and an armoire against the wall. You can just make out pink perspective lines used to guide the lines in the picture. The same apartment, only now all of the lines have been tightened and cleaned up. The final illustration of the apartment, primarily in reds. The color is all flat but there's a sense of richness and modernity, and a large patch of light angles through the room from upper left to lower right.
