Check out this new beta gameplay trailer for my #indiegame TANKETTES! I've been expanding the features and play modes! Sadly, I can't cram everything into a 59 second video! Try the demo on Steam! #indiegames #videogames #retrogaming #tank #animation #3dmodeling #blender3d #b3d #gamedev #indiedev
Now Halloween is over I’ll be going dormant for a while. Seasonal depression coupled with ongoing economic and political turmoil is going to make me grumpy for Christmas (which I hate anyway). May post game dev updates sporadically until Spring. Likely won’t be any Battletech minis painted either.
Happy Halloween! This will be a mega-thread of all of my Halloween art starting in 2009 up to the current year! Kicking things off with a post celebrating the 15th anniversary of the creation of my Halloween #oc Franky. #Halloween #myoc #art #2dart #pixelart #pixel #spookymonth #horror #spooky 1/∞

Happy Saturday! Here’s a more whimsical Franky, drawn in a familiar hot-rodding style! This one took way longer than I thought it would because I kind of went crazy with the colors on the car. #Halloween #halloweenallmonth #spookymonth #oc #2dart #digitalart #werewolf #mummy #vampire #spookyseason

Just me getting progressively angrier and angrier at every tech corporation until I’m forced to go back to traditional art.

I have been playing World of Horror all night! I got some of my gameplay uploaded! I love how off the rails this game goes in parts. I need to work on unlocking all the extra characters and items! Often I’m busy just trying to survive! #horror #indiegames #halloween #spooky #videogames #gameplay

Extremely disappointing news. I’m getting too old to keep starting again. Fuck this tech bro bullshit to hell and back!

In 2025 I did another #battletech #halloween project! With Gothic coming out early in October I had time to paint the whole set for my girlfriend. She really likes Ghost, so I painted them like the band. #mechwarrior #spookymonth #spookyseason #mecha #tabletopgaming #miniatures #minispainting 21/∞

Back to 2025 and back to Franky's dark nature. This time he was inspired by Judas Priest's "Nightcrawler." The sketch looked a little too cartoony so I removed his nose to make him creepier! #oc #myoc #halloween #spookymonth #spookyseason #myart #2dart #digitalart #werewolf #mummy #vampire 20/∞

Backtracking a bit, in 2024 I did a special #halloween #battletech project where I painted a battalion of Draconis Combine 10th Ghost Regiment. For the command company I used a hand-painted Yōkai theme. #mechwarrior #spookymonth #spookyseason #mecha #tabletopgaming #miniatures #minispainting 19/∞

In 2025, I had the idea of drawing Franky as an Ed Roth-like Drag Nut. Originally I wanted to give him a junky ride, but settled on a glossy, chromed-out ‘59 Coup Deville that may be… alive? #oc #myoc #halloween #spookymonth #spookyseason #myart #2dart #digitalart #werewolf #mummy #vampire 18/∞
