Hi there!
I'm Alex! I'm a 2D artist, animator, and person who yells at a camera playing video games! But sometimes I don't yell! :D
He/Him
I've been really happy with all the Borderlands thumbnails I've made so far but I'm REALLY really happy with this one!

I rarely advertise my streams on social media but we are LIVE right now starting with some R&C All 4 One thumbnail artwork before jumping into Ratchet & Clank Full Frontal Assault!

I don't really care about putting these scammers on blast because I just moved, it's been a HUGE adjustment process. My partner suggested I open commissions again since I haven't done any proper commissions in about 10 years. Post that dog illustration on Tumblr. Got a request... It was scam... Ugh

I very recently moved countries and one of the hardest things I didn't expect was leaving my bud bud behind. I know he's happy with my mom but I never realized how much emotional support he gave me until he was more out of my life. I needed to draw my feelings. Miss you, bud bud.

Rarely get time to traditionally draw but I was suggested to draw Zelda from Skyward Sword with a Starbucks, so I took that and wanted to practice some full body drawing with the reference of her model!

I recently saw a video by AzizDraws on using Gradient Maps for shading and, as a first test, I'm super happy with it! It'll take some practice to get good with it, but as a beginning, not bad!

I'm not always happy with the artwork I add to my thumbnails. I sometimes have to rush them because ultimately, it is just a thumbnail, it shouldn't take me longer to make than the video recording. BUT I love the simplicity of the Sly 2 one and I think I'm getting a taste for drawing Minifig me!

I do love the games that force me to dip outside my usual style for thumbnail art and try adapting a different design! I'm not GREAT at drawing Lego or Astro yet but it's been super fun experimenting!

And this one is for another streamer! Quite proud of it! Works a bit better slowed down and with the right dimming and filters used on-stream but eh!

The previous one was my most recent work the Rise of the TMNT Reanimated project!
This one is for my streams! A cute little scene I wanted to do reusing a background I made for a friend years ago! It's one of my favourites!

It also looks like the original gifs didn't gif... Hm... I guess I'll post each one separately!

A lot of my time currently is consumed by making custom art for my thumbnails because who needs to have free time!
We also like to play a game where I hide a duck in all of my current thumbnails and see if it can be found XD Because WHY NOT!

I haven't formally posted on here yet!
Hi! I'm Alex! I'm a 2D artist and animator! Got my start doing random little animations on YouTube but more recently most of my work is with Reanimated projects, work for streamers and my own personal gaming YouTube channel! I spend too much time on thumbnails!
