I work digital for my job and hobbies but damn I love the smell of a good book and the feel of good soft lead on paper.

I think yesterday was the 13th anniversary of #Dishonored being launched. It snuck up on me.
This is from Dishonored 2, but I am forever thankful for getting to visit 3 cities in the Czech Republic as we shot this live action commercial.

#CharacterArt #Procreate #Anatomy
It's the foundational stuff for doing characters but I like the presentation, and it's never bad to go over the fundamentals. If you're working on your own character drawing, give this is a watch too!

Dorothea "Dot" McCoy, a healer character for a pirate D&D game I briefly got to play a few years back! (Yes, her name is a nod to Bones from Star Trek because I'm a nerd 🌟)

In this new video, we do a beginner-friendly deep dive into the "double subdivision" method which is a very easy, fast and fun way of making 3D models. This is a longer version of a video I made about a year ago. Watch it here: youtu.be/YCd_tS_3BTU #blender #b3d #blender3d

I have psd’s for the cd label templates if ya ever need em. Some of the games were digital only so I had to make a few myself. Was a fun art project.

Lemons. Cup em up and drop em into the disposal. Grind em, mash em. Should help.

A while back I made discography cds with covers to hang in my office. I created and printed covers for the titles that never shipped using artwork from the games concepts. It was really gratifying to have those cds and covers framed behind me even for those titles which never shipped.

it's that time of the year. I'm in this one! The theme for this year was "Retro."

tight crop of my entry for Hardcover 2025. Depicts a woman with her face half covered with blood (not her own). She's wearing retro neon plastic earrings in the shape of stars.
