Just my friend who apparently knows every plane on sight and I trying out Misery and hearing a plane. The timing was perfect.

4 different sketches for a Scutellosaurus painting not sure which one I like best, do any of them stick out as the best one to anyone else? #paleoart #dinosaurs

Hour long date night painting session. Working on the owlbear cub my wife got at Adepticon. Painting the fur and feathers is very therapeutic. Good break from 40k stuff. #minipainting

Made a fun little tool to help with creating low rez PSX style textures, I keep doing it in software that just takes extra time so this is a light and fast tool to pump out square PSX versions with some color control. rtkillustration.gumroad.com/l/psxcrafter #gamedev #psx #retrogaming
PSX Crafter
PSX Crafter is a simple and straight forward way to turn any png or jpeg into a cropped texture designed for PSX style video games. It is also a fun and easy way to create portraits in the same style....

Just a little Ankylo sketch during lunch. Addicted to acrylic paint markers now. Opaqueness is so nice. #paleoart #dinosaur #sketchbook

Modified 1911 for Appraisal. Calling it the 1913. Not perfect but happy with the overall look. #indiedev #indiegame #3dmodeling

I realize that I miss tech design from the 80s/90s because devices prided themselves on having knobs, buttons, switches etc requiring you to actually learn how to use a thing. Now everything just wants to be a black/white/silver box with a single button. No one needs to learn anymore.

While I haven't made a psx style game yet I do enjoy making some quick low poly models with 256 res or lower textures just to sketch stuff out I guess? So here's a little soulsy fan art. #indiedev #gamedev #darksouls

Nothing like Halloween and watching nightly horror/Halloween movies to inspire spooky game and art creation. First was Tremors, then Sleepy Hollow, followed by the first Haunted Mansion. I know I'm all over the place. #indiegamedev #horrormovies #halloween

Another Jam done and dusted, all that's left is the voting. Really proud of our little team for getting this done. The follow up to The Prologue. Its a short simple little eldritch horror puzzle game that I did the environmental models, props, and ui for spection.itch.io/descend-into... #indiedev

Ah yes in my final desperate throws of completing our gamejam game the night before at 1:30am I find that itch.io has been ddossed and can't be accessed... Hope it's back before I go to work in the morning. #indiedev #gamejam

From my short game jam experience I really enjoy that I am forced to accept what I can do in a shorter time frame. I don't have time to perfect it when I have 30 other things to model. Kind of generates a style of its own. #indiegame #indiedev #gamejam

Anyone else ever feel like you gotta go extra hard on the first page of a new sketchbook? Gonna add more to this but my hand's tired of stippling for now. A styracosaurus head #paleoart #dinosaur #sketchbook

Honestly cannot believe how smoothly this #gamejam went. The team of Abarice on Level design and Game Design, JCStudio on Coding, and I doing the Environment/Props, Audio, and writing. Please enjoy our very short Scream Jam Warm-Up game! #indiegame

Man solo game jams were stressful but I'm on a team this time and it's so chill and confident, feels so much more fun.

I think it's so magical that we can both produce and consume creative content, that some of us exist to make experiences for others and for me that creating is my escape, while others can escape while enjoying what we create. It's just unfortunate that there is so much to escape right now.

You may want to turn down the sound as my SFX aren't locked in, but I am happy to have successfully gotten the first puzzle of Scare-ab functional in grey box form. #indiedev #indiedev #horrorgame

Based on years of artist alley tabling I felt like drawing a 2000s comic con goer this morning. Brought back fond memories. #comicon #sketchbook
