Prototype Amigurumi for #mothplanet style moths. Once I get the proper colors for it, I'll make the protag, Robin. :3

I started this last year but had to put it aside for months until recently when I picked it back up to finish it.

a picture of a crochet amigurumi of a stylized moth held by a pale-skinned hand. most of it is made of a teal blue yarn. The antennae, hair tuft, and abdomen stripes are white. The face is made of large eyes and an open, happy mouth, needle felted into place with black and white yarn. This picture is of the moth facing the viewer and looking like they're about to interview you

Two pictures of the moth shown from the side - which demonstrates that the head/body is one sphere while the abdomen is larger and egg-shaped - and a slightly turned front facing angle

Two more pictures of the moth, this time from above and below. the moth has two pairs of wings and three pairs of stubby legs

some doodles of Robin and Editor from #mothplanet

i watched a speedrun of the game yesterday (100% completion in under half an hour!!) and it made me want to draw robin zoomin'

a page of character doodles done with a red brush pen. they show robin, the protagonist of the game Moth Planet, and one drawing of the editor. Robin is a cecropia moth; they are fat and fluffy and highly energetic. they take notes and run around to take pictures. the editor is a rosy maple moth with a moustache

Due to the jam's length, we'd be limiting the game to 2 scenes. A lab where the player would mix and match their kaijuice, and the city the kaiju would destroy.

In March me and the MFG folks took part in the Godot Wild Jam, where we wanted to make a kaiju game c: In these early concepts I was looking to define the look of our kaiju and the army fighting them ~

some fanart for the canceled game Moth Survivors, created by @mothfriedgames.bsky.social
I had the opportunity to play the prototype last year and shared these sketches with the devs at the time. Now that the prototype is released, so are the sketches~

a sketched recreation of the classic doom cover art, but instead of doomguy, there's a buff moth, and instead of demons, there are monsters with tendrils coming out of their torsos where their heads and necks used to be

a bust sketch of a buff moth holding a handgun in their right hand and looking toward the viewer

a sketch of buff moth dashing forward while destroying foes. one hand has fire, one hand has a psychic blast, and one hand has a shadow blade.

The final bit of assets made for Moth Surivors! A lot of the game would be management, so the iconography was important. Besides showcasing the prototype characters, we also have every powerup and pickup in the game: health, xp, money.

We were testing dual-tile systems for Moth Survivors so it would randomly generate the BGs. Character sprites were simple - we wanted to spend more time on the UI and systems than on the "field", it was an early alpha after all.

In Moth Survivors we wanted every "Agent" (the characters you build throughout the game), to feel different. Ended up being a bit too big of a scope for our little team!

An assortment of 6 different sketch portraits of bug creatures, some with cybernetic implants, other just mutated.
