Woah hey! What's going on in the bathroom?! 🛀🌙

Illustration of a bathroom seemingly overrun by spirits of some various descriptions. Chaotic.

Cinema theatre rented out to showcase Belgian games ❤️ 🇧🇪

My first Big Brotaru (first @brotaru.bsky.social in general 😱) and loved it!!
Cinema screen with “Big Brotaru” spelt out. Along the bottom are sponsors of the event. At the front is the setup for developers to present.

Figuring out the style for @ottersea.studio’s next game 🚴

Mock illustration of a person with a bag of newspapers biking on a path through a forest. Mountains in the background are peaking through the trees.

Bittersweet end to my time in Brisbane and Melbourne (Games Week) 😭 Though looking forward to heading back to Waffle Land 🫶

Cheers folks! Tot ziens ✌️
Making lil’ doodles because the merch sold out. One of my drawings. Kinda half-lamb/half-follower I guess. Little poop too. The OtterSea Studio team at MegaDev for our final night. Melbourne streets with an iconic skyscraper in the background.

Been thinking about this card game idea... and damn, I'm keen to draw some icons and lil' fellas 🃏
5 cards in a 'hand'. Each has a robo-wasp on it and one is highlighted. It says "Yellow Jacket" on it and features a tooltip that says "Spiky. When attacked, deal 1 damage to attacker." :)

Rough concept for a paper route game. Even the slightest of inclines can be a struggle 😫
Rough, paint-like concept art showing a person with a yellow helmet and bag of newspapers struggling to bike up a slight incline. There's a forest in the background and a white house to the left. A bird sits on a treetop in the foreground. Oh and there's a dog in the bike's front basket.

Ready for @indigo-showcase.bsky.social 💪
Arcade-style booth playing Untitled Hand Game: Titled Edition on the screen, featuring a headset, mouse, keyboard, and gamepad. There’s a variety of game-related stickers piled up for people to take.

Pretty happy with how this turned out, to the point I'm actually a bit grossed out by it 🤢

🛒 Concept for a game idea that's based on true events experienced by @mistosparkol.bsky.social & @yougotkev.bsky.social (neither are the bread-throwing guy, as far as I know) 🥖
Character throwing bread in a trashed bakery section of a supermarket. Two employees look on while one is hiding behind bread. A speech box overlay states "oh god! It's the Dairly Disaster of '23 all over again!"

Small game concept of some wizards (at least most of them) at the ready to face the skeletons of The Necromancer 🪄💀
Top-down view of three wizards on the left in a vertical row ready to fight 6 skeletons heading towards them from the right. The top wizard is grey-haired, wearing green, and holding with a leafy staff. The middle has red/orange hair, wearing yellow, and holding two wands - one is pointed towards the skeletons. The bottom wizard has white hair and a beard, wearing only an old upside-down boot for a hat and shorts, and holding a fork and spoon in each hand. The skeletons on the right include one running towards the wizard with a bomb for a head, and a large one with a purple floating hand puppeteering it.

👉 This is certainly one of the weirdest menus I've worked on... but pretty fun to make! Almost doubles as a tutorial too 😉

Another concept that was made for this now ceased #gamedev side-project 👺

The kid had a robot sword (they put AI into anything these days), and together they attempted to stop this underground club - A boss battle with the DJ ensued 🎧
An angry-looking kid with a blue glowing sword, that's emoting with an angry face, in a prepared stance. Across from them is an adult DJ with glowing red lines surrounding them - They're charging up an attack towards the kid. It's set in an underground club with a stage and massive speaker seen in frame. Circled around the two characters are a large group of various robots with red-glowing displays, all emoting with an angry face.

Thought I'd share some concept art from a #gamedev side-project that's no longer in the works 🌷

🌷 It had something to do with a kid, trying to get to somewhere, in a place full of pretty glowing blue flowers 🌷
Human kid wearing a red-brown wooly jacket and a backpack with a sword peaking from it. There's a concerned look on their face as they stand in an abandoned or rundown city scape set in the daytime. The city is full of graffiti which includes some appearing very against the blue, tulip-like flowers dotted around the place. Same as the previous image, though during nighttime. The blue flowers seem to be glowing in the dark - Including the sword peaking out of the kid's background.

Can someone please tell me who made the @devolverdigital.com Autumn Sale art? 😍 I love it!

🚂 I like Art Trains! 🚃🚃🚃

G'day! I'm Reid, software UX Designer by day & games UI Artist by night 🦉 Iconography is my jam and Cult of the Lamb is my toast. Currently working on 2 side projects ✌️

Variety of icons for Cult of the Lamb's sermon upgrades. Includes hearts, swords, and eerie hands. Variety of icons for Cult of the Lamb's Twitch integration. Includes beer, eggs, crazy humanoid figures, and multiple poops. An almost black-and-white main menu screen for a work-in-progress game, Voidville. Its title is placed in the middle, menu items on the right, and also pictographic-like motifs in the top- and bottom-left corners. Concept skill tree UI inspired by the red-dirt of Australia with a hint of soft green gum leaves. Skill nodes, and their icons, dot snaking paths branching out from the middle. A tattered image with accompanying text is placed on the right to explain the skill currently being hovered upon.
