Hey everyone,
I hope you are all doing well :)
So for a while now, I’ve been working on the ‘Pumping Station’. This is a new location where Keen will learn a bit more about Yi-jie's hobby. And as you might have guessed by now... Yi-jie’s hobby is making pleasure droids :)
Now Yi-jie actually tells this to Keen when they first meet, but Keen misses this information because the ma...

Hey everyone,
I wanted to share some more art with you again :) So one of the things I've worked on this week, were the character poses for Yi-jie.
But before I started on that, I first wanted to detail the original design a bit more. So I refined her body & arms, and also changed her face so it would be less generic (see previous post

Hello again :)
Here's another art update!
As part of the upcomming story, Keen will be searching through some boxes in the Teleporter Room (labeled ‘missing items’). But things won't really go as planned for Keen.
So, I've been drawing that scene & this is what happens...
Next you see how I sketched the scene. Making it all work was a bit tricky again, ...

I'm currently working on several new illustrations for Space Rescue & I wanted to share some progress with you!
So, as you know, I've been detailing the 'Plasma Ovens' background, which is a location in the Junkyard ship. It's the place where scrap metal is broken down into minerals & where Yi-jie works as a plasma-smith.

Hey everyone!
A while back I made the first XXX-scene for Mindy. And in this post I will show you how I did that.
Now...I think the most difficult thing of this scene was actually choosing what position to go with :) Often the story, or location already limits my options. However in this case pretty much everything would have worked. But after some difficult-choosing, I eventually decided to go with this 'm...

In the latest game-update Keen got to see how alien Lorza really is :) Now to put this story together, I needed several illustrations. And below I will show you how I made those.

You can now download the latest version of the game :)
In this update Lorza her story has been expanded quite a bit ( it's almost complete now), and there have been added a few game-improvements as well, like 'skip buttons', which allow you to start at any chapter in the game you want.
Well, have fun !

The game itself isn't very difficult, but it does require a bit of thought...you'll...

Hey everyone!
This week I wrote the 2 alternative endings for Keens Spa adventure, where Keen can either end up with Mindy or Sandy. And while doing so, eventually I came up with an extra line, which I thought would make a more interesting situation.
The basic idea was that Keen would just save the girls & put them on the sunbed. But now I added a bit, where Keen takes a moment to recover from carrying the girls:

For the Junker-ship I'm currently working at two backgrounds at once. This is because part of one background will be visible in the other, and vise versa.
