Video game maker and compulsive side project starter. Did art direction for SlimeRancher1&2, SpiralKnights, ThreePanelSoul, & MacHall.

Currently obsessed with making a mecha game about a rabbit named Clover.
So I was trying to mock up some facial expressions for Clover, and I had a wacky idea.

What if I painted the mouth in a way that looks good to the camera, and then flip it horizontally depending on the viewing angle? Would lean way harder into the vibe.

I think few things feel as validating to artists as having another artist draw your OCs.

It's like.... "Oh! You can see them too! Good. It's not just me."

Can't sleep. Organized the BEASTLY post process material graph.

It really needs turned into functions.

I continue to commit sins against PBR and implemented colored light support to my PICO8 cel shading.

You wouldn't believe the bullshit I'm doing.

Ain't dystopian cyberpunk until you have cool biker jackets.

Clover encounters a strange monk like individual in the pit, named Shade.

He says he's on a pilgrimage to the bottom, though Lucky notes he's seemingly blind and lacks almost any augmentation, which begs the question of how he plans on surviving the journey down. (Let alone how even got this far.)

I need to take better care of myself. If I'm going to make all the things I want to make, I'm going to need as many years as I can get.

There were so many problems and unforeseen gotchas in getting even a SCRAP of clothing on her. Clipping. Rendering depth issues. Outline issues. UHG.

The results? Untextured leggings that will 100% get this post flagged. I'll just beat them to the punch and put it on myself.

I wanted to try doing a off-brand style, and I happen to notice my Gwenpool comics on the shelf. So, let's try Gurihiru style.

Results are not bad, but man do I hate trying to ink such thin lines. I like my lines chunky and backgrounds splatty.

Another style study. This time Tsutomu Nihei.
I love BLAME! very much. I remember rocking my son as he slept when he was just a newborn, 'reading' page after page to myself. The vibes of that art are burned into my soul.

I think I just figured out the missing sauce for 2d animation style on my 3d model. Must experiment more.

"If you need something from the surface, you talk to Chains. If you need something from the pit, you talk to Fix.
Her many Teeth will pick every morsel from the corpses below.

Yeah, but be careful what you sign with her, or you might find yourself tossed to the pit."

Clover finds a fellow diver in the pit.
One of Fix's in-house diving team, the Teeth, this one has a large canon for her size.
Thankfully the encounter is peaceful and the two part ways, but not before the mouse offers a tip;

"Listen for the bells. If you hear one, a tooth is nearby."
