Woah! #PortfolioDay ! Hi!!

I'm Nick (or Smore or UpsideDownSmore or w/e) and I'm a Twin Cities-based artist in the Warframe Creator program, fresh out of college! Would love to find some work in the near future! :)

"Hollowframe - Stalker", January 2025 Illustration of Stalker from Warframe in the styles and themes of Hollow Knight. For his design, I was inspired by the Pure Vessel and Pale King from Hollow Knight while making references to the Jade Shadows quest in Warframe. "Waverider Pursuit", May 2025 Made in promotion of a Yareli Prime Access giveaway I ran, as well as a winner of the TennoCon 2025 Community Showcase. Digital painting of a red Coildrive giving chase to Yareli Prime, referencing and redrawing a frame from Warframe's Yareli Prime trailer at 1:23. "Minn, The Found", January 2025 Illustration of a void angel cervulite originally designed by Pyrah as a gift to her, based on concepts from Warframe. "A vision of the future. A reflection of the past.", April 2024 2nd place winner of the Warframe 11th Anniversary Contest. A card-styled illustration of Arthur and Excalibur from Warframe mirrored from each other. Both of them are in the same pose, holding glowing swords vertically (Arthur wielding his signature blade and Excalibur with a Skana). Arthur sits in the top left upon a tangle of infested flesh, while Excalibur sits in the bottom right upon a void-warped mass.

"If you hate GenAI you're going to have to stop playing new games when they all start using it"

My brother in Christ, my backlog is literally thousands of games long. I have lifetimes worth of earlier titles to play, & I will gladly do that instead of boiling the oceans for a new CoD or whatever

This shit is exactly why placeholders are commonly pink/black checkerboxes with PLACEHOLDER in giant text on it so that shit doesn't get missed and go to fucking retail

FUSE.BMF
Father John eyes the electrical fuse, a small glass tube he extracts from his broken shortwave radio. Something about the atmospheric conditions last night, the electricity in the air, the ozone from the storm, he’s not sure—but Father John was receiving transmissions from farther away than ever before. Portugal, Romania, India. It was, frankly, miraculous. Then the radio shorted out. The fuse blew, likely from a power surge. Father John studies the fuse, recalling its function. A fuse is essentially a sacrificial device, the thin metal filament inside melting if the electrical current is too powerful, consequently breaking the circuit. Father John sips his scotch, thinking thoughts he should not think. Theologically unwise thoughts. What if, he wonders, humanity itself is a fuse. God’s collective sacrificial device. To be destroyed in order to protect the larger whole, a fragile filament of greed, vanity, and lust.

My most woke comics opinion is that you don’t need to be “good” at drawing in any capacity to make them, as long as the reader understands what they’re seeing the way you *want* them to understand it, then you are successfully cartooning

free me from this hell
my art on normal monitor (30 second thumbnail doodle of a pastel blue and pink landscape) my art on OLED monitor (the same thumbnail but it now all the saturation has been blown out as if the image has been deep fried and is now the envy of lisa frank, and "frank"ly it looks not very good)

"but i like the palette on the right better" don't worry sometimes i use those colors intentionally too, it's just that we can never get what we want
the same meme as above except i used the palette on the right with intention this time, the OLED version still looks way different because OLED sucks
