Marty @martincrownover.bsky.social · Nov 22

Greetings! My name is Martin (or Marty), and I am an artist, designer, and developer. I run a design company, Massive Catapult Creative, and I do a lot of creative work in various mediums - with a focus on illustration and 3D.

A 3D render of Ren & Stimpy, created in Blender.

A cartoon illustration of a large man wearing children's clothes, yelling (and made to look like a mobile game icon).

A 3D render of a Rubik's cube with streets, parks, and cars on all sides.

A black and white illustration of a hand holding a round bottle with a cork in the end. The bottle has a worn label with a skull and crossbones on it.

My entry for today's Inktober prompt, "sweep"! 😵

I think I made a small mistake with this one, but I sort of like the simplicity of it with the mistake included. That's how it goes sometimes!

An illustration of a game of Minesweeper, a classic computer game played on a grid in which the player flags and clears hidden mines. Many of the squares are cleared, with the remaining squares are blank, flagged, or showing a number, indicating the number of bombs in the adjacent squares. One square displays a face with x's for eyes, indicating that the player clicked a mine on accident and lost the game. A nearby square has a mine on it, showing a missed bomb. The drawing is made to look slightly weathered and is in black and white.

Today's Inktober prompt was "heavy".

For me, it should have been "almost late"! 😆

#drawing #illustration #art #digitalart #procreate #ipadpro #inktober #inktober2025

An illustration of a cartoon man trying to lift a large barbell weight. The man's back is arched backward and the bar between the large round weights is bending. His head is facing upward and all that is visible of his face is his nose, mustache, and gritted teeth. Two drops of sweat are coming out of his head. The man has a light complexion and is wearing a white tank top and dark pants. There is a burst of energy in the background behind the man, and the drawing is in black and white.

Alright, here's the final version of Fish Cup!

Inspired by an illustration I did: martincrownover.com/june-toons-2...

I also did a chalk drawing: martincrownover.com/art/chalk-it...

Tools: Blender, Procreate Dreams, Audition, Premiere.

Got done with this one a little late today, but here's my Inktober illustration for the prompt "reckless". 😵

#drawing #illustration #art #digitalart #procreate #ipadpro #inktober #inktober2025

An illustration of a woman in a bathtub using her phone, which is plugged into a nearby outlet for charging. The woman looks slightly concerned. She has her knees tucked up to her chest, with her hands resting on them. The bathtub is filled with water and soapy bubbles are in the woman's hair and obscure her bottom half. The drawing is done in a flat style, with only very basic shading to indicate the dimensions of the tub, faucet, and outlet. A floor mat and a small shelf with soaps and shampoos can be faintly seen in the background, which is a dark gray. A burst of white spray paint is behind the woman, highlighting her head and phone. The drawing is in black and white.

Here's the final animation of "Fish Cup"!

I'm working on adding sound to it, and that should (hopefully) be done soon!

I'm a simple man: I see the prompt "starfish", and I draw Patrick.

Here's my Inktober drawing for today! ⭐

#drawing #illustration #art #digitalart #procreate #ipadpro #inktober #inktober2025

An illustration of Patrick Star from SpongeBob SquarePants laying on the beach on his back, with his arms and legs spread out and a happy look on his face. Patrick is a starfish, and he is wearing his signature shorts with a tropical flower pattern. The beach is speckled with spray paint splatter spots and has a faint floral pattern drawn over it. In the upper left, the ocean's foamy edge pushes in slightly. The drawing is in black and white.

How to draw an elephant... with lots of piercings?

My Inktober drawing today is of a much-pierced elephant.

The prompt was "pierce" and I couldn't think of anything more silly. 😎

#drawing #illustration #art #digitalart #procreate #ipadpro #inktober #inktober2025

An illustration of an elephant with a very pierced ear and eyebrow. The elephant is facing the viewer straight on, and is off center to the left, with its trunk hooking out of the view and coming back up on the right. The elephant is looking directly at the viewer with slightly closed eyes. It is dark gray and has large white tusks. The elephant's ear that is in view is covered in piercings, with plain metallic studs, small hoops, hanging chains, small jewels, and a coin on a hoop. The background is white and the drawing is in black and white.

Here's my drawing for today's Inktober prompt, "deer". These guys are always getting caught, they can't get away with nothin'. 🍨

#drawing #illustration #art #digitalart #procreate #ipadpro #inktober #inktober2025

An illustration of a cartoon deer caught in a spotlight eating an ice cream cone. The deer's eyes are wide open, and it is staring at the viewer with its mouth slightly agape. It has a partly eaten ice cream cone in its hand, and it is wearing a coat and scarf. It has a small set of antlers on its head. The drawing is in black and white.

Today's Inktober illustration, for the prompt "murky"!

#drawing #illustration #art #digitalart #procreate #ipadpro #inktober #inktober2025

An illustration of a snow-globe-like ball on a small pedestal. The globe contains a small Victorian house and scraggily trees, nearly obscured by a thick, murky fog. The drawing is in black and white.

It's honestly impressive that the mountains even have colliders.

My internet is 100x slower than it's supposed to be this morning!

I've been on hold for an hour trying to get in touch with tech support, but the pre-recorded message says it's an issue impacting portions of the *state*, so...

Pour one out for the Fidium support team today, I guess. 🙃
