Hiya everyone, I'm Wayne!👋 I'm a pixel artist, game designer, & hug wizard that's been working in games for over 10 years. Here's a little sample of my work ✨

I'm a little quieter on social media these days but I'm always happy to chat and share what I'm working on, never be afraid to reach out!💙

The unlicensed Astro Boy I'm designing is moving along. I have no idea what I'm doing in this space or whether anyone would want to buy it. If you have advice, I'm all ears!

I just know I am compelled to make it, and keep it as close to Tezuka's original lineart as possible. So much research!

Astro 3D sculpt, and blueprint of what's in him, based on all the artwork Osamu Tezuka has of Astro Boy dissected or X-Rayed (that's 6 drawings!)

I originally started this piece last year to top off all the monster sprites I did, but didn't manage to finish it in time. So it laid dormant till I had some time to polish it up.

I took inspiration somewhere between both the release and prototype art. Hope you enjoy!

Don't think I'd leave ya hanging that hard and not drop some art! The Monster Party arts return! I'm not sure how much time I'll have to crank out as much as I did last year (partially because I did all the enemy sprites already), but expect more to come!

🎃LET'S GO AGAIN!🎃

Building more of the world, I'm finding the room maps give away a little too much. Trying a compass instead - it switches to a stage map on the pause screen, showing visited rooms as squares and the connections between them.

Nathan Fouts - ChainStaff Demo Out Now @mommysbestgames.bsky.social · 3d

I can't believe, I finally have control over my Playstation and Xbox store pages again for ChainStaff!
Back in June my publisher went out of business, and they had registered the games to Xbox and PS.
And it's taken this freaking long, but I finally got them both back!

Exhibiting MADHOUSE at the Pittsburgh Gaming Expo has been a FANTASTIC experience with such an overwhelmingly positive reception. I don't even have words right now, I'm just stunned by how much people are enjoying my game. Thank you.

The Legendary Axe concept mockup. Been a while since I made one of these. Research was tough. I have no connection to the game or the turbografx-16 whatsoever, but the final boss being a weird and unsettling merger of confused cavemen held together by an eldric mass was captivating.

Pixel art of an old ruin under cloudy skies. A man in a loincloth, holding an axe faces agains a gigantic bearded man, horribly mutated by a black goop littered with eyes and glowing veins

it’s pretty rare for me, but I managed to crank out this flyer super smoothly from the illustration to the design!
kinda stoked about how it turned out, so I figured I’d show you

it’s for a chiptune event I’m hosting next month

Gun Nac Ending. All 13 long songs are now plotted in Deflemask. Shop theme/short songs are all that's left 🤩

Some parts need enhancing (like vibrato and maybe more drum stuff), but I think it's sounds great so far! :D
