I like to draw, I like to make games. I don't do either often enough.

I also like fantasy, horror, metal music, and animation.

Hiya! I'm still getting the hang of Bluesky, but I like drawing, game dev, and horror/fantasy. Feel free to say or whatever :)

Did some major cleanup on Lord of Night as the final part of my mentorship with the awesome Anthony Jones.

In Part 1, I talked about the overlapping ideas of eternity, perfection, and immortality and the seeming paradox of making something perfect:  “…making perfection a reality seems to evoke the mathemat...

It's my birthday today, and because I am turning 31, am actively balding, and will probably die alone, I want to celebrate it by sharing some of my favorite pieces from this year. 🥳🥳🥳

If you want you can join the celebration by sharing these pieces, that would be very much appreciated. 🖤

Astral traveler.

Tried a different coloring method inspired by Peter Mohrbacher's process videos. It was a very different way to work with color, starting off in grayscale, adding gradient maps, and then color touch ups at the end. I would up with a lot of layers, but got pretty good results.

Did a quick sketch of my twilight domain cleric giving off some paladin vibes during the last DnD session, realizing I really need to do some armor studies lol

Haven't drawn anything in a few weeks, trying to get out of this slump.

I've been making a lot of art assets for #necrobrawlicon, but you never know if it works until it's all together in-engine... And I think it's looking pretty good!

Still a lot more to go, but off to a good start 😁

Another example of the ‘Panel’ style of body modification, created by artist @briarghast.bsky.social

This one features interlocking knot designs, which evoke a culture that values interconnection between people and the strength of its community.

ENERVATE, last of the first five cards for NecroBrawlIcon, and another three level upgrade card

BRAINSTORM, card 4 of the 5 I currently have planned for NecroBrawlIcon (planning to add a lot more later, but got other things to work on first). I want to have at least some cards be upgradable throughout the game, so this one has 3 versions.

Some more possible card art for NecroBrawlIcon. I only have four cards implemented in engine yet, so at this point I’m drawing whatever I think will look cool and hoping I’ll come up with a good idea for a card to put it on.

It's the titular Necrobrawlicon!

Eldritch tome, deck holder, glorified paperweight, and provider for all your snarky commentary needs.

“Wake up Starshine. Time to fire up those dusty, old neurons. And try not to die so quick this time, will you?”

You can't have a deck builder game without card art. Gonna start phasing out the placeholder graphics, bit by bit

Wanted a generic attack, a healing card, and "chain attack," but kind of struggling with the last one... Might repurpose the art later.

As a nameless shade, the player can pick a book at the start of each run: Quickening, Enduring, Awakening. Or you reject the boons and take the path of the Nullified.
