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.

For what it's worth, I always try to remind myself that as my observation/analytical skills increase, it takes a while for my skill to create to catch up, and vice versa.
So feeling that discomfort is actually a sign you're growing and improving just as much as the artistic highs, right?

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

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

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 😁

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.

Still making progress with my deck-builder rpg, figured it was time to add a few common enemies.
First up, watch out for free floating clusters of ectoplasm, drains your energy with every hit... real nasty for your health, if you weren’t already dead.

"Chain reaction" and a puzzle theme, my first thought is explosions, something like a mix of Bomberman and Bejeweled... Still ironing out mechanics with my team, but I've already jumped into some art and assets.

Mae, our party's fighter in #CurseOfStrahd. She's a centaur, but I'm focusing on improving portraits rn (code for too lazy to draw horse anatomy).
Knowing the player, she seems to be based off of the character of the same name from Shining Force, so I tried to be true to that.
