More location visdev for my gamedev project! I explored a bunch of building styles. For the color palette, I landed on making the buildings warm-toned with a few pops of cool tones as accents.

This will give me a starting point to create all kinds of pixel #art buildings from these shapes.

More visdev for my gamedev project! Figuring out shape language and colors for the city's buildings.

This city is powered by magic, so I needed some magical elements to indicate we're not on earth and help the buildings fit cohesively together.

Will eventually use as inspiration for pixel #art.

Here’s my first painting of the year: location visdev for my personal gamedev project, The Wishing Stone! This is Dalterra, the main setting for the story. 🐉

My goal was to work out the design elements of the city, colors and location. I’ll use this as inspiration later for the game’s pixel #art.

Happy holidays from Wren, Candle, and me! ☺️🐉❄️
The kids made a snow dragon. Candle isn’t used to the cold weather. Brrr!!!

If you weren't able to make it out to LightBox Expo, Steward Ng Books was kind enough to stock some copies of my plein-air painting book Scenic Routes! They also ship internationally which I haven't been able to do in the past. All the books are signed!~

Hi friends! I’m excited to share that for the past 1.5 years I’ve been working on visdev for Disney Lorcana! I’ve been helping the worldbuilding team design locations, narrative beats, characters, props, sfx, and more. The first set I helped with, Whispers in the Well, comes out later this year. 🐭❤️
