Somebody grabbed a few of these recently from my shop, thank you! 🙏
At the moment they are 34% off! And so is everything else in the shop!

Party In The Front - Comms Closed @partyinthefront.bsky.social · Mar 18

Just released these as prints!
They are an alternate take on my Super Metroid OST work from last year.

And they're now 30% off!

Shares are much appreciated, sales are still hurt from my Twitter deletion...

Collage illustration in a square format and muted colors, where Samus (the hero of the game Super Metroid) is seen in a save room through a round hatch on the wall of a cave. In the cave, outside this hatch, insect-like aliens fly and scuttle about. A game-type interface, with a mini-map, radar and other info frames the piece

Another illustration in the same style showing another cave scene, this time centered on the entrance of the cave, through which we can see Samus's spaceship floating near the ground. Some more insects move around the walls of the cave. The frame is similar to the first image.

One more picture from this set of 4. The scene in this one, also from Super Metroid, is a lab room with computers around a big broken vertical glass vat in the middle. The computer screens are flashing DANGER in red, and 4 scientists lay dead in the floor around the vat. The frame is similar to the other images.

The last Illustration in the set. Here we see what happens in the game after Samus moves on from the room with the dead scientists. Through her eyes, on the other side of a round hatch up a short set of stairs, the alien monster Ridley, on of the main bosses in the game, holds a Metroid embryo which he stole from the vat in the previous scene. Red lights flash, coloring Ridley and making him/it look even more threatening. The frame is similar to the other images.

It all sounds like that one episode of Samurai Champloo to me.

It's neat that people still play the LOTR mod I started working on in 2006.
I'm not super active in its development atm, but it's still very much going strong, with monthly-ish updates.

Isle of Beasts is a narrative strategy game I've been working on: your people have been exiled to a strange island, and must build a new life there. Gather resources, build shelter, explore the mysteries of the island, and decide what kind of society you will become.

Mockup of a computer game with a hex grid showing an island landscape. In the foreground is a woman playing an instrument, asking you what song your people will sing.

Terrible. I'm looking at his website and it's so funny that you can directly point at the moment where he switched from photoshopping DAZ/Poser models and stock photos to just using AI.

Detail of one of the pages of the comic book I'm working on. ^^

Detalhe de uma página de quadrinhos. Dois quadros mostrando três aventureiros descendo uma escadaria e entrando numa dungeon. Na frente um homem com uma capa preta estilo Batman, um elmo fechado estilo corvo com tubos de respiração como uma máscara de gás saindo das laterais; ele ergue um pingente com uma joia brilhante que ilumina o caminho. Atrás dele seguem dois irmãos: uma mulher portando uma espada e escudo e um homem levando um arco e flechas. A parede ao fundo mostra uma cena em relevo ilustrando uma batalha entre dois guerreiros alienígenas emunhando macuahuitl (armas astecas semelhantes a espadas de madeira com discos cortantes de obsidiana); esses dois guerreiros alienígenas lutam contra algo como um wyrvern com face tentacular.

Painting done for the thumbnail of a gameplay presentation of Kromlech at Gamescom 2025 - it depicts Cronach (the protagonist) fighting a group of bandits in megalithic ruins overgrown with mysterious dark thorny vines.

Well, it's the "current state" - some of it might change, but a lot of it will obviously stay. We're aiming for a Q1 2026 EA release.
My UI preferences are completely different, so I tend to stay out of our GUI guys' way.
