Earlier this year I had yet again the pleasure to work on a Key art for @Timberborn's new update!
I love the game and I encourage anyone to try it out if you like chill games and cute beavers.
This update added Ziplines and lotsa other cool stuff as you can see!

It's not enough building a Vine Mech.
One needs highly trained pilots able wield its power.
The main way to learn how to do so is by using a highly faithful scaled reproduction, which develops the finesse and kinesthetics required for the real thing.

The Vinmeka, as they improved in form and function, quickly became the dominant force of war upon their introduction to the battlefields of the period.
Not that it ever stopped feudal lords from trying to tip the balance in their favor by mass of men alone.
Will be posting more stuff about VoW!

Something armored this way comes!
I've been a bit elusive the last few months, been very busy.
Among one of the things keeping me busy was working on the next video for "The Vines of War" my low fantasy worldbuilding project.
Expect a video by next week!

Uff! blast from the past.
This one was done for a fb art group.
The challenge that month was to paint yourself with your own personal dragon.
Being a huge fan of HTTYD, I had to give it a go.
This even got me a spot in Imagine FX!
Back when I used to be young and carefree, time flies!

"Cuāuhocēlōtl"
What began as a bit of alt history concept art from me
"What if Aztecs had been left alone enough to reach develop plate armor"
These would later form the basis for one of the main factions of my personal project, Hecaxe.
Hope you like 'em!

"Rage on, Autumn"
This one is quite special, it opened many doors for me at the time and probably still one of my most lauded pieces.
Worked on it in early 2017, Back when I was living in a cheap hostel in Berlin, the first time I tried (and failed) moving to Europe from México.
Hope you like it!

Back with another Tolkien fanart, one of the most recognizable scenes I'd wager.
"Flame of Udûn"
Tried to make my interpretation of the Balrog to be as accurate to the book as possible, although it is quite vague.

While I'm not known for my landscape pieces, I'm pretty happy with this one!

Still wild to see my own artwork on steam staring back at me from time to time, but it feels really nice.

Not just Mechs! designed some fantasy "Power armor" troops for one of the factions in my personal project.
They use the same vines that move the mechs but at a much smaller scale/complexity, there's a new video on my channel that explains their roles in depth!
