One of my favorite pieces: the robo-rat. Based on a piece of concept art from Lambert Design on Instagram, it combines both my eternal love for all things mech and robot, plus my rat-tastic Chicago heritage. Modeled with #Blender and textured with #SubstancePainter

In Trash Dungeon, you're a raccoon with a gun, a ski-mask, and rabies. You have to keep killing to stay alive.

🗑️Steal trash
🔫Shoot monster hordes
💯Score sick combos

The full intro sequence to “Ribbet Luddington: A Vision of Death”. Really went all in on the James Bond intro sequence vibes, who doesn’t love a good montage, or an #indiegame about #frogs?

just making my silly little drawings : )
cartoon drawing of a the artist's persona holding a piece of paper that says "my art : )" with a doodle sun in the corner. the artist's face looks sad and exhausted, but smiling. in the background, there's a few cartoon buildings on fire with "literally everything" pointing to it with an arrow

Also I am taking a break from doing my daily skeletons for a bit! I churned out a bunch of them that I'm really satisfied with, and I do want to hit at least a hundred- at the moment I'm stepping away to focus on some dev stuff though. Here's an enemy from @slaughtervoid.bsky.social ~
