Check out this new beta gameplay trailer for my #indiegame TANKETTES! I've been expanding the features and play modes! Sadly, I can't cram everything into a 59 second video! Try the demo on Steam! #indiegames #videogames #retrogaming #tank #animation #3dmodeling #blender3d #b3d #gamedev #indiedev

My 2nd edition of #Battletech came used with record sheets and notes from the prior owner. One thing that stood out was a #Mechwarrior sheet with a custom mech listed: Roadrunner. It had a brief blurb and a poem but no Mech sheet. So I decided to #kitbash one! Icarus for scale. #tabletop #miniatures

Doing a little mech surgery today to make these Shockwaves into combat-modded industrial mechs (because I don’t really like the Shockwave). When are we going to get industrialmechs in plastic? I wonder… #battletech #mechwarrior #miniatures #kitbash #tabletopgaming

The winter dopamine drought really has me in a rut. On top of it, I’m just getting over Covid AND we’re short-handed at work. AGAIN. Not to mention whatever the fuck our government situation is. And the blizzard headed this way. Man, I just want to finish the beta so someone can actually play it!
Long time since my last TANKETTES update! I've fixed lots of bugs. Also added a new defensive maneuver of ducking into the tank, cutting damage taken in half, greatly increasing longevity. Especially for light tanks! #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev #unity3d #blender3d #madewithunity

Just watched the 40th anniversary of Labyrinth in theaters. This film is a touchstone of my creativity. In college 14(?!) years ago I joined the concept club and our big (and only) project was reimagining the characters in the film in a theme: Asian Steampunk. 1/3 #traditionalart #2dart

Best article about the topic in months. We really need to stop tolerating these slopshit-loving freaks. Be mean. Meaner. MEANER!!!

My new year’s resolution is to stop buying or giving any attention to video games that aren’t indie. I don’t need them and most of them are shoddy, rushed garbage. Also The Industry™️ seems hellbent on making them from slop and injecting them with MORE slop. It’s time to support small creators ONLY.

Sitting a stewing in frustration isn't nearly as cathartic as just designing a poster. Let's see how often I remember that in 2026.

I didn't do a lot of art in 2025, I mostly focused on digital #gamedev and #battletech, but early in the year I managed to do some art to flesh out the setting of a #tabletop game I'm developing called WAR GRID! Achieving a retro anime #mecha aesthetic in #blender3d wasn't easy. #2dart #digitalart

Yeah, this final count stands. 82 isn't bad. Not quite as good as 2024's 101, but I did spend a lot more time modding and kitbashing stuff this year. I still have like a dozen #minis that I modded and haven't painted. #battletech #mechwarrior #miniaturespainting #miniatures #mecha #tabletopgaming

My disgust with genAI, and how hard corpos have been pushing this worthless slop, grew so immensely in 2025 that for the last few weeks I’ve been getting back in touch with #traditionalart. Working on a themed set of drawings that I’ll finish with watercolor. More details next year. #ink #2dart #WIP

So I made another #pokemon #fanart as a way to continue to familiarize myself with #watercolor. Getting there. Next thing I do with them will likely be something with more robust details, but I have gamedev work to do between now and then. Behold, Mega Houndstone! #2dart #traditionalart

I don’t make nor post #Pokémon #fanart. But my coworkers and I were talking today about its original aesthetic. Then they asked me if I could pick 1 to get a mega evolution, which would it be? Never used #watercolor in my life but I think I did okay. I present, Mega Octillery! #2dart #traditionalart
