Super Rough Beryllia Combat Anim WIP

Just a really early look at some rough anim doodles I started tonight. I wanna streamline the style for animation a bit more (trying to go for a sorta OKKO style) and get some nice wind up frames and stuff to really give it some impact. I wanna have a combo attack against an enemy I have yet to add to the scene.

Halloween Anim WIP 2

Finished coloring the first loop of the anim! I want to add a second segment and some audio hopefully before Halloween itself!

Rad Catalyst (Fixed Version)

I noticed a myriad of issues with the original version of this, so I edited it a bit! Figured there was no harm in posting it here so you all can get the high quality proper version of the piece.

CATalyst (plus bonus creatures) Full-Res

Here's the high quality versions of the most recent pieces I posted on twitter. I really like how the Rad one turned out and honestly would love to make it into a print if I can figure out a good way to do that. I wanna start collecting ideas of things to eventually take to conventions in the future.

Rad Style Test 2 WIP

Just a fun line art style test I started on tonight.

Soul Lore #1

I'm gonna start making occasional lore posts on here now, starting with this introduction to how souls work in my world!

Souls are typically not visible or tangible, but due to a catastrophic event that permanently changed the state of the world millennia ago, souls are once again able to cross into the same plane as their physical shells. This is newfound connection is why "magic" has returned in many parts of the world. Those with a strong innate connection to their soul can draw it...

What would y'all want to see more of?

Genuinely curious as to what y'all want to see more of on here. I plan to post more detailed game dev stuff for the $6 tier very soon, but I literally know nothing about running a patreon, so I wanna know if there's anything in particular you all want to see to make this worth it to you!
More text posts, lore, music, or whatever! I wanna hear any suggestions you may have.

Blake takes it too far (WIP)

Just the wip for a silly little comic I started working on before my hand started hurting too much to draw.

Bass Player Concept

Just a look at the in progress rough design for the bass player in June's band. She also has an innate magical proficiency that she uses in tandem with technology to be able to produce unique spells.

Platformer Mockup Final

Here's the mockup I posted to my twitter but in actual viewable high quality lol. I'm not gonna do any more big mockups like this after this one, as I want to move on to learning code and making some movement animations. I want this to be a short and sweet project just to learn some basics so I hope y'all enjoy my journey!!

Platformer Concept 1

I want to make a really short platformer game for practice and to learn code while I'm working on my big RPG. This is a super rough look at some pixel art I threw together tonight. I will likely share more of this journey here for you $6+ patrons as I wanted to use this category to talk about game dev anyways.

Freedom Planet 2 fanart comic

Comic I posted earlier on my twitter. Some of the panels got kinda compressed in the post so you can view them here in their full quality! I don't do a lot of fan art in general, so this was a fun experiment!

Freedom Planet 2 Fanart WIP

I don't often make fanart, but I just finished my first playthrough of FP2 and really wanted to draw some art for it.

Dragon Knight WIP

Not often I post wip’s for traditional art! I’ve made some more progress since this pic and hopefully I’ll finish it tomorrow, but I’m really excited for it.

Aster's Lament Update 1

I want to try to make game dev related posts at least once a month going forward. sharing little tidbits, artwork, and some footage (further in the future) as I work on it. Today I worked on ironing out a style for the dialogue boxes. I'm pretty happy with the direction, but I am open to feedback! I do already plan on reworking my custom font as I think it is a bit too bubbly and the letters are a bit too wide.

June Sticker WIP 2

So I almost finished this design, but I worry it's too detailed for a little sticker. I had issues with the quality of my old Rad sticker, and I don't wanna run into the same problem here. the image is higher resolution, so I hope that it's fine, but if anyone has experience with making stickers and stuff, I'd appreciate any insight!

Full Res Batch (Cat Edition)

Here's another batch of full res pieces free of twitter compression.

Also I plan on updating the $6 tier to include some more stuff soon. I just want to make more progress on my game first to see what I can reasonably do.

Additions to the $6/mo tier

I feel like the $6 tier doesn’t provide enough content to be worthwhile. And while I know I advertised this as mostly a tip jar, I still want to provide stuff that y’all find to be worth the amount you put in. so I’m planning on adding a category for more in-depth game dev updates and behind the scenes looks to that tier, since I will be working on my game a lot more in the coming months. I’ll probably update the tier when I get home from work today. 


Thanks agai...

Rad and 404 WIP

Been toying with the idea of subject 404 communicating using an amalgam of ancient meme speak and internet terms with images that no longer mean anything, as they contain a massive archive of information on ancient human society.
