#PitchYaGame

Welcome to Shroom Haven, a peaceful grotto deep within the Fundament—that is, until a mysterious quake devastates the Mushums' home and the town's champion disappears in the chaos. Explore an interconnected world in a rogue-lite adventure to save the town and unearth deep secrets!

Artists! Post your hot men #art!!!

Here's my contribution: The Deserter, from Dewdrop. I actually redid him to make him hotter after being inspired by Kpop Demon Hunters !

#throwbackthursday to some early exploration on Fish Guys I did for my personal project, Dewdrop.

This is Dewey, a character from my worldbuilding project Dewdrop!

“Pim was stunned when she dredged the gleaming blue orb up from the waves. That feeling was doubled when suddenly upon her touch, light from inside the orb flicked to life, formed the simple shape of a face, and began to talk…”

quote this with your OC + a song that fits them

This is Pim, from my personal project Dewdrop. She's a scavenger in a flooded planet, so her song is "King of the Beach" by Wavves.

Added some creatures to my portfolio. Which would you rather have as a pet: a Tide Parrot, an Axoli'l, or a Pterokeet? brettnucklesart.com/albums/14472...

Pim the Scrapper grew up on Scrapyard Flotilla, a floating village of junk on the balmy tropical waters of the North Pole. She spends her days sailing and diving for sunken scrap metal and relics to make ends meet, until one day her boat is blown far off course...

Some new environmental props for Shroom Haven! Trying hard to inject more whimsy (and general thoughtfulness) into my shape design.

Random little design thing I've been trying to be more cognizant of as I pick away at this WIP character design -- consciously playing straights against curves. Adds structural integrity, variety, appeal and generally makes your curves feel curvier! (which is nice on an extremely organic character.)

A little preview design sheet for a bigger project that I've been working on!

I had a really great art week! To celebrate, behold this chubby lil bug I drew. Glowbugs are special creatures that light the way through dark tunnels in my little game design personal project.

“Lucky for me, he only eats Flarebugs – heh heh," the insect vendor croaks out, gesturing to the enormous frilled salamander splayed languidly underneath her traveling shop, atop which sits a woven cage filled with the only bugs capable of lighting up the dimmest, blackest caverns in Shroom Haven.

A couple of peculiar loot crates I designed for Pantheon. Wonder what weird stuff you'll find inside?

Anybody else love drawing but hate doing "line work"? I've always struggled with the entire concept of "finished" lines, and am always trying to eke out a workflow that balances careful planning with directness and spontaneity.

Anyway, here's little character piece that is part of that exploration.

Those ancient coastal people were the only ones on the planet who could tap into the ocean’s magic. With this power, they created the Dewdrops, crystalline blue spheres where souls can be stored after the body has failed. A secret they kept -- for a time.

But where did they all go?

Love your work! Here's a few pieces from me :)
