In the Banff townsite yesterday we found this crow who had perched himself on the roof of the public latrine and was yelling at everyone who walked by.

I feel like if we’d stuck around a little longer maybe he would have given us a side quest.

So this is where I've kind of landed for now. These are rough paintovers, so I'll have to actually make it look good, but I think having some toggleable elements that can fill space when needed (or disappear otherwise) will help with all of the empty space.

Finally had a bit of free time (work is busy!) and I thought I'd poke at the Rune stuff I was working on a little bit. Mainly I wanted to try mocking up a couple of cards with actual text and stats to see how badly things fell apart.

(Card text is blurred out since the copy doesn't belong to me.)

I KNEW IT!!!

I've been quiet on here because I have my head down job-hunting and also because the world is on fire, but I've been tweaking some of my animations and did a more extensive overhaul on this one. I think it's a big improvement!

I work as an animator in the games industry, and my contract is coming up in a couple of weeks. My reach on this platform extends to literally tens - TENS! - of people, but if anyone knows of any relevant positions coming up, let me know. Toronto-area or remote-friendly ideally! (Reel link below)

I thought if I could use a dry erase marker to track health directly on laminated cards, maybe that would make it a bit easier. So I designed some tokens for the Skeleton and Lost Knight as a test, and it was so fun that I tried mocking up a matching enemy card in the same style.

Some just-for-fun attempts to design enemy tokens for @gilarpgs.bsky.social 's solo ttrpg Rune. I played it earlier this year and absolutely loved it - especially playing it physically at the table - but did find it difficult sometimes to track everything with lots of enemies on the board.

I finally cut the cord and shut down my Twitter account. It was really only hockey that was keeping me there, but my love of hockey is outweighed by my hatred of fascism. These are some old Inktober drawings because I didn't find time to participate this year. Maybe Inkuary can be a thing?

After a year of aggressively searching, and over 127 applications sent, I finally have a job again. The game industry is ROUGH right now, but it will be good to be animating again. I bought comics to celebrate!

This is older...some friends were trying to get funding for a tactical indie game and I did some mock-ups and preliminary designs for them. I still like this, though, and think it would have been fun to make if we'd had the chance.

Maybe this is too nerdy to post, but I have like one follower and he already knows I'm a nerd, so I have nothing to lose. After I drew my nomad/bounty hunter for Notorious I decided to draw his equipment. And give him a name that hopefully gives off authentic Glup Shitto vibes.

I've been really interested in solo board games and rpgs lately, and kickstarted Notorious/Outsiders a while back. For those who are unfamiliar, it's a Star Wars-but-not bounty hunter rpg and it seems really cool. This is the character I rolled up, and I'm excited to actually play!

Anyway, here's my attempt at a self-portrait in the style of Dredge. Don't be alarmed: I am told I look considerably better hydrated in real life.
