Fresh coats - my father asked me to repaint the ‘Turbo’ logo on his International 976 Turbo tractor after he had given it a fresh coat of paint, and this little bobtail was showing off most of the shiny new skin they’ve been working on.

Quick update on Enoch 👀
Yes, the game is still in development (solo dev + no current funding = it takes time 😅)
but good news: new key art, new logo, and the game is now simply called Enoch.
I’d love to hear your thoughts ❤️

Sat out beneath the aurora australis. A meteor flew over, trailing smoke and shedding chunks. It’s just charged particles, rock and friction. But you can see how gods and monsters were born, once.

I started @jon.inkle.co’s third Heaven’s Vault book tonight. It’s so nice to be back in that world, among that language again. Everybody should read them. (And play the game, of course).

I’m halfway through A Drop of Corruption by Robert Jackson Bennett and enjoying it so much, but then I realised that ‘I have a perfect memory and the world is weird’ is literally the summary of Wolfe’s Book of the New Sun. And then I remembered Small Gods. How is THIS a niche?!

John Uri Lloyd’s ‘Etidorpha’ is fun because it’s a Jules Verne style science fiction story, but it also has illustrations like this, and some of the ‘science’ bits are a guy being like ‘hey, want to see your own brain?’

Doing line work was the hardest part, easily. I had almost zero experience drawing line art before Old Skies. I still feel very weak at it. Probably the biggest weakness of the game, visually!
