Since the news update is live on Steam, I can show this image from PIT OF GOBLIN, teasing the new patch that is coming soon!

I've always wanted to do some fantasy dungeons. With our new game PIT OF GOBLIN, I realize that it's.. It's not super easy haha! But it is very fun, so it's just nice to hack away and try to create cool environments.

It was also fun to come up with a design for the goblins!

Do GIFs work now? Let's try it out with some NPCs from Soulbound...!

The Battle of Olympus!
I was always intrigued how much like Zelda 2 this played, back in the day... If I remember it right it was made by a team of three people. Quite charming but difficult!

Did an art trade with a friend some years ago. Drew this picture of their OC!

I wanted to try and color something in a monochromatic way and then color it with gradient maps. Pretty fun technique!

World maps! Something I dearly love and I wish more games had 'em! I love when locations you visit are more contained and you visit new locations via map travel. Finding a new place to travel to on the map is always exciting!

While not map travel, Elden Ring's map and how it worked was genius.

Dune 2 had such cozy pixelart. Loved it back in the day!
Plus I've always liked the soldier designs for Light Infantry and Heavy Infantry.

It was games like Dune 2 that made me fall in love with UIs that feature alot of detail & feel like they are made out of real materials like metal, wood, etc!

Working on something... Some The Legend of Zelda fanart..!

Outfit is like a mishmash between his Breath of the Wild tunic (but green!) and some Twilight Princess like the chainmail... I guess that just makes it almost exactly like his TP tunic haha.

Trying to get back into drawing more for myself! In the meantime, an old sketch, inspired by RPG protagonists like Ryu from Breath of Fire.

Also how the heck do you come up with fun heroic fantasy clothes!? Is there an online seminar I can take to improve my skills? Haha 😅

Some NPCs for SOULBOUND that I made! It is a quite fun challenge to try and create expressive and diverse characters with such small pixel dimensions.

"Fio!"
Old quick sketch of Fio from Metal Slug!

Haha I found this lying around, had completely forgotten that I made this dumb pic!

Speaking of, I should really get to playing FF7: Rebirth..!

Back when working on Medusa's Labyrinth, I did this demake of the game, re-imagined as a first person grid-based (or screen-based) dungeon crawler!

Still want to make one of those, that also incorporates some point-and-click adventure elements. Think it'd be fun!

An old Lina Inverse from Slayers fanart I did quite some time ago! Did it as an art trade with a friend :D Remember being happy about it being rather quick to draw and paint!

Things I kinda miss in games: Shareware end screens!
They always fascinated me as a kid. Playing the shareware version of a game and seeing all the cool features that the full game would have. Images and info felt much more precious before the ubiquity of the internet.

A throwback drawing! This is the first art piece I ever uploaded to Twitter, I think! I used to draw and concept so many kinds of firearms but I haven't done that in long long while now hah. Maybe I should get back into drawing mechs and such, it is quite fun!

Shout out to the first pixelart + 3D thing I ever did, back when I still was in game dev school. It's an interpretation of Bryants office from Blade Runner.

Some phototextures were used, like the photographs, letters, blue bg, fan, books, lampshade!

Plein air painting from photoref! I've always liked dark rainy ambience, especially how light bounces around on wet surfaces and such.

Sadly, I do not know who the photographer is! Source photo is the 2nd picture.

More plein air from some time ago! I always have trouble painting skies and clouds, so this was a fun challenge. And who doesn't love a dramatic sunset?

Another old plein air drawing from many years ago. I should do more of this again... I believe this was around 45-60 minutes. Wanted to practice clouds and their colors, if I recall.

Did some plein air painting quite some time ago! I just fell in love with the original photograph and I wanted to try and capture that kind of realistic soft light.

A pixel fanart piece of Deus Ex 1 I made many many years ago.
A bit rough, but fun! It is also the only piece I've done that I've seen reposted in another place by someone else. I think it was on some game artist forum or something!
