Spectacular trees, rocks and textures from hikes last weekend

The last two weekends I've finally had time to build some new scenes for Scavenger Suite.

Seems kind of dumb that my thoughts always go to “I wonder how to make this in a video game”

Very suitable lighting for rocks, lichen and other formations

Warm and dry early fall day, the lake looked unreasonably blue and deep

Set up at NCAF for the dayyy

Last announcement post for NCAF! I made a drawing about it. “No Straight Lines” film showing this Thursday at 7:30pm Sarratt Cinema, then Nashville Comic Arts Festival on Saturday 11am-6pm at Vanderbilt Central Library.

I will be at Nashville Comic Arts Festival on Saturday Oct. 4th! I have brand new full-length issues of RUFUS #1 (with sturdy cardstock covers), and will have limited copies of a ~60-page sketchbook zine in memory of my beloved deceased dog. Also the last copies of WE’RE ALL IN THIS ALONE goin cheap

Trying to simplify my painting in order to understand light and values and stuff better.

Started to build a scene around my car and tried to add head and taillights (and moonlight!). Really don't know what I'm doing but it's more interesting than watching tutorials

Built a car(!) in Blender and it only took ~3 hours of trial and error

I barely understand how to do anything with Blender but after spending most of the day on this I can now say that I barely understand how to do anything with Blender

Small WIP (watercolor in progress)

Some screens from the demo! Feels wrong to have a "demo" for a Bitsy game but that is what I have

Thanks for asking! I’m making an exploration game using Bitsy. Looks like this

Had to say goodbye to a beloved friend last week. I’m still working on all my dog-related stuff but it will take some time to put my life back together.

Made with Bitsy, gameplay is pseudo-sidescroller where you alternate playing as traveler and dog, exploring a desolate countryside. Solve puzzles, scavenge supplies, look out for each other.

Finally working on a game I’m excited about
