I would love to make an asymmetric horror game (the type that tries to be scary but isn't actually), it would be themed around killing and dying for the amusement of this sweet but slightly creepy child. #asymmetricgames #conceptart #gamedesign #horror

Just a little monster art. I heard that the old Norse "warg" or "worg" (I forget the spelling) stood up on their hind legs in a perverse mockery of humanity, so this idea popped into my head and amused me greatly. #monsters #frankenstien #wolf #norsemythology #comedy #copicmarkers

I've uploaded this guy before. Here he is with a slightly updated look, and I'm currently working on a comic about him and his friends doing goofy stuff. For now, enjoy some sky-writing! #webcomic #originalcharacter #traditionalart

Something for further on into the future. I guess I just can't stop making games, though this one has been in the works for a good long while now. #gamedev #conceptart #wargaming #indiedev

Got something new to show off in trading card format... in a manner of speaking. I'm playing around with formatting and seeing what sort of new card types I can get away with. There's probably a reason most aren't arranged like this, though, but that's R&D for ya. #angels #gargoyles #traditionalart

I did a thing! Fanart isn't usually my jam, but I felt called to these three for some reason. I actually have a different version of this, but I wasn't happy with the background, so I... inked and colored it again from scratch. #fanart #nintendo #capcom #splatoon #monsterhunter #mario

Clown time! The last of my merch-images stuff. Now I'll just have to figure out how well I can produce the stuff. #clown #traditionalart #fantasy #characterdesign

Making merch! This is not the same character as my last angel, but he's pretty closely related. Either way, going to make a line of collectables featuring this guy and other fun critters. #angel #toon #copics #sonicstyle #wings

I have made an angel in a fun style I don't see very often. If this looks fun to you, hit me up! I do commissions! Toon/Sonic style is a specialty of mine. #sonicstyle #oc #angel #angelart #copicmarkers #traditional #commissionsopen #characterdesign #toons

The third and final (for now) game matt design I had, this one inspired by the tale The Fisherman and the Turtle. Oddly enough, the turtle doesn't stay in the story very long, because of all the other weird stuff that happens. #folktales #japaneseculture #tcg

Now showing off the five tasks of Kaguya Hime, another of my favorite Japanese folk tales! I've seen this story used to promote Buddhist ideals as well as anti-Buddhist ideals, so I don't know what to think. I just hope you all enjoy my next game matt idea! #kaguya #japanesefolktales #indiedev

Well, here's the finished product. I whipped this up to make a play-mat for card games. I added a nice vintage texture to it for extra character. #momotaro #japanesefolktales #tcg

I'm also planning on whipping up some playmats for you TCG fans out there. The first one I'm working on is a illustration inspired by the classic Japanese folk tale, Momotaro. #japanesefolktale #tcg #indiedev #folktales #momotaro #issixhashtagstoomany?

I love eating food. I love it so much, I once tried making a battle card game that involved shoveling food into your face. I'm sad I never got around to finishing it. Here are some icons I whipped up for it. #indiedev #cardgames #boardgames

In preparation for Mana Carta's release date in April, I'm here to remind you that not every card needs a fancy-pants effect. Sometimes being a horse with a spike on your head is enough.

Just some fun mockups for possible future projects. I spend a lot of time toying with ideas. Most of them don't amount to anything, but it's still fun to revisit the process. #tcg #gamedev #indiedev #traditionalart
