Some designs for a mobile game character that went unused. Was still a fun project and really enjoyed painting in this style!

I think these guys were my favorite race to design for Teryon - the Lucians! There’s nothing better than painting swirly magic

Urudin (Elf) character illustration for an upcoming TTRPG, Teryon!
Had a really fun time working with the director to figure out the style and proportions of the characters.

New key art I worked on for our Song Casting, Hand Painted Action RPG, Traveler’s Refrain! Really happy with how this turned out and I think it’s a good representation of the vibe of the game :)

10/10 So happy it’s back.
The original show was one of my favorite shows of all time, and I was a bit trepidatious about this continuation so many years later. Man these first two episodes did not disappoint. What a cool time we live in

FINALLY went back through and actually completed #Hades What a beautiful experience
Having played all the other #supergiantgames all I can say is that it’s amazing to see a company continue to build off of great ideas and stick to its vision. Definitely inspiring.

I was today years old that I realized, as a professional artist, my first foray into digital art was Mario Paint…

Beat Forspoken last night and was unfortunately disappointed with how the story wrapped up. I went into this game with an open mind and enjoyed most of the ride… But it just had some weird design / story decisions

Do not sleep on this show! Just finished watching season 1 of #interiorchinatown and it had one of the coolest concepts I’ve seen in a long time.
Anyone else watch it? Would love to hear your thoughts!

Recently beat #seaofstars so wanted to go back and check out #themessenger
Never got around to playing the original Ninja Gaiden, but I’ve got enough context from old era side-scrollers to know this is definitely a fun one. Still playing mini review ->🧵

Hey!
I want to start sharing some thoughts on games I’m playing , movies I’m watching, and comics / books I’m reading — from a creator standpoint. If you don’t know me too well, I’m a game dev / artist. (Currently working on a game called Traveler’s Refrain).
