Latter-day Saint, husband, father, brother, hobbyist artist, and developer. Maybe someday I'll actually release a solo game dev project.

I know my art's not the shiniest, but I hope you like my stuff anyway!

Releasing a new game version - even if it's just an early alpha version - is somehow liberating, even though it's in a really raw state

Probably 'cause it lets you shift from "polish polish polish" to "okay, now I can work on that refactor that I've been putting off for forever"

In addition to making cores (red spaces) and pickups expire with time, I made the underlying grid turn red as the core gets closer to expiring! I think it really helps the player be aware of that limit without them darting their eyes over to the (currently) hard-to-see timer.

Making some good progress in my little falling-block puzzle game:

- Window scaling
- Better UI
- Tons of backend improvements
- Soft drops implemented (gotta avoid those RSIs)

A still image of my falling-block puzzle game. The user interface has been overhauled and the grid now sits at the center of the screen instead of in the top-left corner.

I’m really enjoying drawing this witch #oc! Aurelia’s from the same world as the angels that I’ve posted here in the past
Aurelia, my witch original character, walking through a dark cave. Her wand is raised and lit, casting some shadows

A witch #oc I designed yesterday! Right now her name is Aurelia.

Very much a WIP

#isperi #traditionalart #ink #paper
A witch character with a huge brimmed hat, short hair, exposed midriff, and fairly tattered clothing. She has a stern look in her eye and wields a long, pointed wand. Her left eye is covered by a fringe of hair. The picture is only lineart

I added numbers to my falling block puzzle game, so I'll let it slide!

Really rough and early preview of my current @monogame.net project

Need to make it work now so I can make it pretty later!

A very cropped screenshot of a grid-based game. There is a red diamond surrounded by orange tiles and a few other icons scattered about. Below the grid is the text "0/50", "[cut off] until core expires," "[cut off]: Neutral," and "[Sc]ore: 183"

Needle, an angel #oc from my fantasy #worldbuilding project

#traditionalart #characterart #coloredpencils
An angel from my setting. Her halo is four spikes surrounding a small orb. She has silver hair, lavendar eyes, and a pink aura about her. Her wings and arms are all pointy. She wears bright colors, but this is contrasted against a dark billowing background surrounding her.

The Spitetress, one of the main villains of my #fantasy #worldbuilding project. She also happens to be one of my wife's favorite designs that I've done :D

#oc #traditionalart
A colored pencil drawing of a woman with extremely pale skin floating in a dark space amid lightning streaking across the sky. She has long black hair which billows up in two long tendrils, red eyes, and is missing a mouth. On her arms are three dark shear sleeves. She has a sleek black outfit on with two layered skirts and shiny black boots that go halfway up her thighs. From her back flow four reddish-purple tendrils with energy billowing inside them. She has an ominous purple aura surrounding her.

#inktober day 2

I wanted to do Chopper from Ace Combat 5 weaving through the missiles (iykyk) but I can't draw jets

So here's fairy weaving through the... magic missiles, I guess
A fire fairy weaving through a storm of magic missiles. Below the picture is the word "Weave", stylized to match the prompt of the day.

Elemental (or nature) fairies are the most common type of fairy in #Isperi, my fantasy #worldbuilding project. They are called such because 1) they command elemental magic and 2) they are enveloped in the element they control.

Pictured are two of my fairy #ocs, Brooke and Oberon.

#traditionalart
Brooke, a water fairy. Her skin is paper white that becomes a deep blue at the edges. Her four wings are shaped like water drops, and her hair looks and shines like water. She has green eyes and two legs. Her "clothing" has a fish-scale motif that turns into water as well. Oberon, the Fairy King of Skies, in his flying mode. He has blonde hair and his four wings are storm clouds with lightning arcing around and within them. His skin is brown with a faint blue glow within. In flying mode, his legs are replaced with a tornado-esque genie or ghost-style tail. His forearms are also wrapped in stormclouds.

I finished another reading of The Book of Mormon tonight. I love that book tremendously - it has helped me draw nearer to Christ in a way that I find difficult to describe.

Now I get to study it again as I study the Gospel of Matthew (and the rest of the New Testament) in parallel :)

I know I've got a lot to learn with pixel art, but I'm pretty happy with how this one is turning out so far. Now if only I can figure out how to pack in more detail per pixel... #oc

I got a ton of sketchbooks that are taking up space. I want to consolidate them into a single volume with only the stuff I even somewhat like, but that’s a hefty project to be sure. anyone know of a service that can help with that?
