Here with you the rest of the world recedes. Only love, in our place.
Dipping into some personal nostalgia for this one. I also created a new music track to go along with the artwork.
Watch how a illustrate the rock formations for a good example of the blocking technique. In other words, throwing down rough chunky forms then going back over and chiseling out the details.

Hi guys! We're already one month into 2018. I have to say it's been a highly productive month and I'm feeling good vibes for this year. The response to my new content has been overwhelmingly positive and we've grown by a few patrons in just one month!
Looking at February, you can expect another month loaded with pixel goodness. I will finish the last piece in the Star Fighters series on the 5th. The following week I will release a collection of all the pilots in one composition. I will al...
All of these topics will surely be covered eventually, but I'd like to know what you are most eager to learn. I plan to do one on composition after establishing these related topics first. Also, you're welcome to leave suggestions for any ideas not listed. Thanks!

Learn how I make custom color palettes with HSB.
I hope you enjoy my first tutorial! Let me know your thoughts, questions, or suggestions for future topics.

Here's the static version of Pixelmotion - 1. The clouds were the most time consuming elements, as they are very large and made entirely of unique clusters. Also, I give you a one pixel panty shot. Enjoy!

The first official piece of my new Pixelmotion series! I'd been itching to make a parallax cloudscape for a while. There's a bit of math involved to create smooth parallax motion that loops without a hitch when animating in Photoshop, but it's not rocket science. Could make a nice tutorial...

Figured I should also post the stand alone artwork from Pixelcast 22, since it's not part of the other series. I'll be sure to start doing this from now on. Enjoy!

The infamous sky carrier and its squadron making an art form out of dog fighting.
Thanks to my friend Alan, for supplying the music track. The concept was inspired by it.

Farewells lead to new beginnings.
This is a little artwork I made on the side to celebrate the close of a very productive year, while sending my best wishes into the new year. I referenced a personal photo to get the basic cloud composition and made custom colors to fit my own romantic vision. The jet and wind turbines were added to give it more context and a close to home feeling. Happy New Year!

Hi everyone! I hope you've had wonderful holidays and are prepared to bring your best into 2018. I know I am. Read on to get briefed on some new content.
2017 was one of the most prolific years of my life, largely due to my push behind this Patreon site. Launching a Patreon site was definitely the highlight of the year for me. It was something I had in the back of my mind for at least a year prior but I wanted to strengthen the foundation as much as possible. See, I'm an all or nothing ki...
I've been wanting to make more animated pieces for quite some time. It's amazing how a little motion brings things to life. This was sort of a test for things to come. Look forward to new animated content starting next month! I'll fill you in on the plan before the end of this month.
150 frames. Hint: save yourself some pain and always use an even number of total frames for looping animations

Domo - Pilot of the Zephyr. With a synthetic body invisible to bio-scanners he uses the advantage of stealth to strike with cold efficiency.
2017-12-11 13:34:24 +0000 UTC View PostYou should have received an email recently about changes to the way the payment system works on Patreon. Apparently, it adds taxes and fees, and is causing many creators to lose significant patronage. I lost one patron so far, which accounts for 12% of my small group. Understandably, people are upset, but the internet tends to over react. Considering the value of what I’m doing my prices are still extremely cheap. I’m going to ride this out for the next couple months and see what the climate...
