#dev2days - I'm pivoting my dev project to a game jam entry for the this metroidvania game jam! me and another dev are workin together, but while i wait for a theme I started sketchin character shape variations for something i wanted to make in-line with a metroidvania in case it happens to align.

bonus sketch dump, just random stuff I have been doing in between dev while trying to get used to the new drawing setup. new super quick sketch app means I draw more. I gotta stop trying to draw unnatural poses tho. Its Lotta brain work, but I must enjoy it cause I keep doin it.

#dev2days - taking a bit of getting used to the new drawing setup, so progress is slow but its worth it. Got the lines at least, fixed stuff from last time.
November 14, 2025 at 2:55 AM
#dev2days - Only very little progress this time because i got a new drawing tablet and had to set it up and still didn't get the feature i wanted yet so I decided to try out a bunch of stuff and long story sort it was a LOT of time spent setting up.

#dev2days - I'm back doing more technical stuff for made up science-ish equipment! Another 2 hours in, another two orthogonal views, good enough for now! 2 more days and maybe I'll get 2 more angles.

Introducing #dev2days! A thing I'm committing to in the spirit of #devtober but even less of a jam. The minimum is to post what your working on every 2 days. The rest is whatever your reasonable amount of gamedev work time is for LONG TERM. More in comments for ideas.

I'm taking a break from game dev before I start a new goal but I'm still doing art of some kind every day!

#devtober day 31 - It felt appropriate to finish this by finally using my environment art for what I meant it for. The intro animation scene storyboard. I didn't NEED to all of it for this, but all of it had some hand in figuring stuff. I'll try and to the postmortem stuff tomorrow.
November 1, 2025 at 2:37 AM
#devtober day 30 - I tried improving the composition with more trees. Idk if its better, I'll have to do something else and come back to it to see it, but for now I did too much beat saber and this is as much as could do before I hurt.
October 31, 2025 at 1:50 AM
#devtober day 29 - working on this scenic shot still. The left felt empty so I tried adding some trees. I sketched a foreground tree to see if i liked it for composition and I'm still not sure.
October 30, 2025 at 2:38 AM
#devtober day 28 - found another uncolored sketch, this one has more going on so I tried to figure out as much as i could in the time so i didn't switch colors so i could mostly get stuff like values close. So its like... grayscale but not gray. Greenscale? sure why not.
October 29, 2025 at 1:33 AM
#devtober day 27 - found a sketch I didn't color so I colored it.
October 28, 2025 at 1:30 AM
#devtober day 26 - I really needed something new so I tried to come up with generic attack-able enemies that would fit in the setting but still be in the spirit of spooky month too.
October 27, 2025 at 1:56 AM
#devtober day 23 - Tryin color on dis. not sure if i like. sleepin tho.
October 26, 2025 at 1:14 AM
#devtober day 24 - more technical sketching. I really gotta find something to sketch more freely. Too many days in a row of the same thing.
October 25, 2025 at 1:51 AM
#devtober day 23 - try to figure out another tech thingamabob I made. Why did I make so many? I'm thinking of pivoting this one to a coolant monitor of sorts? like 3 samples of different stages in the flow? Something like that, I will see if I can make that work.
October 24, 2025 at 1:23 AM
#devtober day 22 - made some fixes and splashed in some color. I say another one good enough to move onto other stuff.
October 23, 2025 at 2:41 AM
#devtober day 21 - refolding my unfolded view for fun and for a base for later sketching. I also got lost making the pattern for the standing area and and it took some time more than anticipated but its all good.
October 22, 2025 at 2:02 AM
#devtober day 20 - I am here mentally unfolding panels of made up consoles. In a cave. With my drawing monitor turning to scrap. It will work again I just gotta let it rest. It's sorta good because Its a reminder to take a break! It's a feature.
October 20, 2025 at 8:45 PM
#devtober day 19 - I wanted to sketch something, so I started defining another prop design for these center console things. Tia-V for size.
October 20, 2025 at 12:56 AM
#devtober day 18 - idk gud colors and I have been switchin lots and now they all look bad. How ya feel about beige? Also no one told me 2 of my fan blades where backwards. Hopefully fresher eyes tomorrow helps me find why I don't like this so I can move on.
October 19, 2025 at 2:05 AM
#devtober day 17 - switched back to this to start color. only got as far is this block in and gonna leave the rest for tomorrow.
October 18, 2025 at 1:10 AM
#devtober day 16 - colored and callin in it "gud enuf" to move onto something else tomorrow after like 6 days of this one prop... ugh.
