The Duel Final Mix????

Could this  be the one? Finally after all these years are we able to enjoy another of the unreleased Legends track? 

No

Really wish I had a shakukachi player to do some of the aleatoric and more complex playing styles from the original.

HALO LEGENDS - THE DUEL FIRST MIXING TEST

Finally finished arranging this and moving onto mixing it. I came up with a couple of ideas for it but dunno if I'll implement them since I need to move forward with other projects.

RECON Commission WIP

Finished lineart earlier today and client decided the final colors. May propose a different one tho.

I'm on a break with my GF and while everything's updates may slow a bit again. Not particularly sad or anything but I'm taking it easy this week. 

Hope everyone's having a great week!

TIGER FUR TESTS

So when I started developing this style I realized quite early that some types of fur would fuck with me so thats why I havent drawn some species yet. Started experimenting with this tiger last week but wasn't able to post it cuz spv3 stuff :p will work more on it

RECON COMMISSION WIP

Thinking in openning some spartan busts commissions tbh. Making him very chunky since the client is a mecha fan so there will be a lot of ilogic screws. Spent a good while working on that recon design too.

Halo Legends - The Duel WIP Updated

Hope to be finally done with this track next week. Already spent twice the money of what I was paid for it to get it right. I turned off the other string and brass libraries to save RAM and CPU resources so it sounds a bit weaker than previous update, but these taikos are sounding so gooooddddddd

THE GREAT JOURNEY (SPV3 ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK)

This is a very special release, so as a special occasion all Patrons will have access to the album in MP3 Format. I need to solve some cloud storage issues so for now the 2nd disc will be unavailable until I come up with a solution.


Thanks everyone for your support!

THE GREAT JOURNEY (SPV3 ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK CD)

THE ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK OF SPV3 IS FINALLY DONE

I'm sorry for not posting the updates on the new tracks a couple of months ago but I really wanted to keep some little surprises here and there. We revisited some mixes and masters so some tracks will sound a bit better than the current release, the main theme improved a lot with the new mix IMO.

We are working on some new art for the release of the album next week so there will be more posts later this week. 

These are no...

HALO X APEX COMMISSION

Last year someone asked me to draw a Grunt inspired Octane, one of Apex Legends Characters, because people really like me to do weird crossovers for some reason, is it something on my face?

Very happy with how it's coming together tho!

MASTER CHIEF IN THE BOOKS (COMMISSION)

doing some designs for MintBlitz. Pretty happy with how this one turned out, trying out a bunch of new stuff as well as more dynamic poses. This is exclusively for MintBlitz so you can't share it (yet) nor print it.

I'm still working on the second one uwu

LINK WIP THIS ONE TOOK 2 YEARS

HELLO EVERYONE SORRY FOR THE LACK OF POSTS LATELY BUT THERE WILL BE A MASSIVE INFLUX OF ART POSTS LATER THIS WEEK. 

So part of my "vacations" which btw I haven't been able to take yet, has been focusing on design commissions which, apparently were a lot, personal drawings and less managing of my socials soI haven't answered any youtube comments just posting at very random times on Twitter and Instagram and sharing lots of pretty art as well as my usual social issues posts.  View Post

Kaidon's Burden - Or The Theme that plays when arbiter remembers songheili tacos with melancholy

IT'S DONE THE LAST TRACK OF THE SPV3 SOUNDTRACK IS DONE

I'm still dealing with mixing and mastering sheannigans but other than that the Volume 1 is ready, that's right, VOLUME 1! We are working on a bunch of new stuff and since now we have full control of the spv3 music placement we figured we'd need more music.


I haven't decided on the name yet but Vol1 should be something around The Great Journey lines and vol2 will definitely be ambient wonder.

The SPV3 OST Final Track + Smol Updoot

Hey everyone! Hope you're having a great week so far. Just wanted to let you know that I've moved the release of Korras Lofi Beat and my other comissions to focus on finishing the SPv3 OST since it was super close to completion. From an arrangement pov it's done. I'm currently mixing the last one and already waiting for the masters of the others. I didn't want to post previews of them since they were done fairly quick, 3 tracks in a week once again and since everything went so smooth (I didnt...

Lost Worlds WIP 11 Or how my soul is been sucked by a single piece

Hey everyone! Hope you've been doing great this week! I apologize for not posting the next Avatar LoFi Piece yet but I was finally able to finish the sketch for this piece 2 weeks ago and I wanted to give it a go and hopefully be done with it by friday but oh boi was I mistaken.

The brief for this track was weird enough it being Jurassic Park X Halo X Titanfall so it took me a couple of months to finish the sketch but I didn't had any idea of how I'd arrange it so I did a lot of experim...

Destiny - Age Of Triumph Trailer Music Mix

Welp looks like I lied :p here's the mix of a destiny thing I promised to do like 3 years ago but never had the time to finish. I had to rearrange everything too since my old project died for some reason. This is some kind of premix since they'll mix it again and properly master it for Geomantic's next release.


Regarding doing some destiny lofi tracks, which tracks are the ones that I should consider?

Patreon Lo-Fi Request?

Hey everyone! I'm not sure if I'll be able to post a track here this week since I got into a last minute illustration gig (I was waiting for some clients to send some references but I still havent got any word from them so I'm kinda free until they send their stuff) 

But I was thinking that maybe it's time for that Patreon request even if we haven't reach that goal so here we go. These are some options I've been toying with lately but haven't actually properly sketched lately. If y...

A small slice of life update

Hery everyone! Hope you're having a great weekend :D A part of March's Patreon went to framing some of my favorite pieces of art I've been able to purchase through the years. The top 4 square shaped are by Raul Urias and I bought them together with a friend (He has the other half) I didn't had lunch at uni for a couple of months so I was able to save a bit for them. That was almost 3 years ago so it's great to finally see them on display.

Avatar's Love (Lo-Fi) - Avatar-The LoFi Bender

Hey everyone! As promised here's Avatar's Love but it's more experimental LoFi. I also commissioned some art from my friend @daniellblack_ on instagram! So now you're getting that too :D As usual it will be a couple of weeks before I release this on YouTube so enjoy it!

Really enjoying these LoFi exercises tbh. They force me to do more calm and dynamic music and I mess with a lot of stuff that I wouldn't normally do. I'm also able to work on them even when I'm tired because they are so ...

This week's update

Hey everyone! Sorry for not posting anything this week. I've been working on a track for Mythic. The track is done and we're already waiting on mastering but because of their agreement with 343 I can't post anything related to it on Patreon, sadly I don't think it'll be able to hit spotify or other stores either. It'll be a free download though and as usual the download link will be on the YT description. Sorry for the inconvenience. 

I will however do another Lo-Fi track next week...

Leaves From The Vine but it's Lo-Fi and a bit inspiring

HELLO! Welcome to another "can't believe I managed to come out with this in a day" post. Yesterday I started the arrangement for Leaves From The Vine but was somewhat inspired and ended up spending all day working on it. 

Now I know y'all like to get sad outta nowhere (just kidding I understand and respect it) but I didn't want this to be a sad piece. I love Iroh and his whole philosophy and character arc so I thought it'd be better to give you a rendition that is more about his jo...

SPV3 DEFINITIVE SOUNDTRACK - PARTICULAR JUSTICE

THE ARBITER THEME IS FINALLY HERE.

Finally after 5 long years this theme is what I always wanted it to be: an anime halo track that is kinda "opposite" or an equal to the SPV3 Main Theme and The Halo Theme but I also wanted it to be the "Tip Of The Spear" and the "Finale" of SPV3 as well as being a character narrative piece more than just an InGame Combat piece. This is supposed to play during The Commander's final Chief Tain boss Battle which right now is completely fucked by the very ...

Arbiter Theme Final Orchestra Arrangement

I'm dead inside. Spent the whole day working on the second part of this. Will start arranging percussions and choir soon since I really want this to be ready for my 10th musical anniversary on march. May need to get new libraries for it tho which kinda sucks since I didn't want to spend more this month lmao 


Let me know what you think!
