Two pin-up girls in short succession! What gives might you ask? Well, nothing really, just felt like drawing another I guess. Also, I have some glorious new pixel portraiture ripe for the uploading, I just haven't gotten around to it quite yet.  Good news too, my new job is coming along quite nicely, it's a lot of fun to say the least!

Urgh, so busy, let's see, I'm starting a new job (hired on as a studio assistant for a very successful british photo-realist oil painter), I'm finishing up a huge freelance contract, probably starting a new one next week, and doing some more pro-bono work for WMNF's Grand National Championships! *Whew* Amidst all of this, I haven't had nearly enough time to do any drawing for myself, so this

Just a few of the assets from the freelance job I'm working on at the moment!

Firstly, the image accompanying this is a new, updated Airship game sprite sheet!  Nothing in their hasn't been posted in some of the newish screenshots, but this is just a big spread of all o' em! Anyways, I'd actually like to talk about critics in the industry that actually know what they're talking about.  This is rarer than you might think, but lets start out with why I (and so many others)

Oh wow, apologies, it has been altogether too long since an update!  But I have an excuse! A real one! Basically, I finally ended up landing a new gig.  It's freelance, working on a browser/mobile game, I don't honestly know how much I can talk about it, but its going well thus far and it pays fairly.  Thats really all I could hope for. Because of this, I haven't had much time to do anything

Gods!  Temples!  More GUI stuff! I'm not really sure how I feel about the Wind Goddess up there, I might be working on her some more.  Apologies for not updating sooner, my laptop's fan went out, meaning that any kind of prolonged use would have ruined it.  I had to wait for a week or so before I got a replacement fan, and I've been ridiculously busy as of late as well.  I should have more

 Woo! So much progress since my last batch of screenies! So, here we get a few good screenshots of the current GUI.  As you can see, it's still a work in progress, a lot of elements are unfinished or missing, but this is a good start. At the top of all three screens we have the health bar.  Pretty standard.  To the left of the health bar we have the in-game clock.  This is important, because

These are a series of screenshots from a small project I'm working on. It's two things, one, its a way for me to make pixel art in a goal oriented environment, and two, its kind of my pipe dream project. This is the game I would make if I didn't have to worry about money, exposure, or anything like that. So in this game, the worlds are procedurally generated. In other words, random ,with

Normally I try to keep it pretty PG around here, and though this image is mostly harmless and funny, I don't want anyone being offended for something on the front page of my most-updated site.  So if you want to see it, you'll have to click the link below.  Again! It's nothing terrible, definitely just PG-13, but still, probably NSFW. NSFW: ****ing Magnets; how DO they work?

Sprite sheet of the assets in Blast O Nauts!  Expect another piece sometime tomorrow!

I was recently able to get my hands on Adobe Illustrator again, thanks to the help of a friend!  This is the first real piece I've done in it.  I had to keep it fairly simple (my poor laptop was chugging away as is with its measly 1 gig of ram!), but that situation will be remedied in the next week when I get some more installed on my laptop.  Then I can hopefully begin work on some bigger

First things first, this is the game over screen for Blast O Nauts!  The asteroids carry the same motif of being buttons, so the three big ones will have text in the final version.  On to the discussion! Difficulty: A games difficulty is of huge importance.  Some genres come with a certain level of inherent difficulty (shmups and rougelikes for instance) whereas others can run the gambit from

So here we are, at the first of what I hope to be many of my self indulgent exercises. Really I just want to type up my ideas on aspects of game design, whether anyone listens isn't really the point, but please do regardless! These are going to probably ramble on a bit, since I mostly think about what I'll type when I'm working on the art to go along with them, but we'll try to keep that to a

So heres the deal, I'm going to be doing a couple things to keep my art up to snuff around here, as well as give me more of a creative outlet. Noone follows this blog really, and thats fine, just so long as I can speak my mind on things relevant to my art...in other words mostly game design and illustration.The plan is to choose a topic, post about it, and have a piece of art to go along with it

At this point, I liken Supa Blast O' Naut to "The Wrestler". Critics tell you its great, noone plays/watches it.Thats a bit lofty of course, but still! It's pretty awesome that I got in there! Not only that but I'm one of the first games in it, at number 8! Though I would highly suggest you watch it all the way through, virtually every title is great, and that comes from having played quite a

So, I've made hints to the fact that I am doing some freelance work at the moment, which is true, but its probably not the most accurate summation of whats going on. To give just the details, I am doing the art and co-designing for an Iphone game. It's interesting work, because though I have done games in the past, I've never worked on a professional one. I can't give away too man details, and

Well, it took me way too long to finish this, what with me looking for work most of my time (a situation that has *hopefully* been remedied!), but here it is! The Grand National Championships poster! I'm posting it here before anywhere else so that the guy's at the show will get a chance to proof it and give me any feedback they might be interested in. I'm really quite happy with it for the

Heres a demonstration of several different elements from that project I posted a screenshot of earlier. We've got a Jellyfish animation, various terrain, birds, and a turnaround of an airship.I dont really know if I'll ever finish this thing, but it is helping me flesh out my pixel work!

No, not really. Just the sprites. These sprites are for possible buttons to be used by the show. They are each a pixel character portrait of the three hosts, Alastair St. Hill, Jerrad Mcleod, and Corin Aitchison. I'll label them as such:CorinJerradAlastairEach one also represents a genre of old-school gaming, Corin is Shooter/Arcade, Jerrad is Action/Platformer, and Alastair is Fantasy/Adventure.

So, although I doubt anyone really follows this blog very much, I thought I might post something a little different for once, sort of a thing to catch people up on my work.For one, I'll be doing some work for Grand National Championships, the radio show that I mentioned in my earlier post, it's pro-bono work but it should be fun and give me at least some exposure. I'm really looking forward to

Firstly, both a shout out and an apology to those of you that found me through my interview on Grand National Championships. Great show, great music, and I know I said that I would have this thing out on Monday BEFORE the show ended, but that just didn't happen unfortunately.

Here's another beer label I did. I just wanted to do something that would allow me to do pixels again, since I haven't had the time to do any in some time. I had a lot of fun, but I'll probably revise and re-upload after my professor gives me a critique.

Another thesis artwork, this is the God of Fuel, I thought it was rather witty to tie a T-Rex skeleton to a hamster wheel to power a city personally. It was a simple enough concept, but those vertebrae were a pain to do in illustrator.

It has been all together too long since I updated this thing, but thesis has prevented me doing anything more than, well, thesis. I'm going to upload a few things in quick succession though!This is the finished Goddess of Beauty. Easily the toughest, most time consuming piece I've ever done in Adobe Illustrator. But I am genuinely happy with the end result, so it ended well!

My newest assignment for Advanced Computer Illustration. We created wine labels, so I began my assignment by perusing a local grocery store and finding a wine with an interesting name. Gnarly Head definitely stood out, and I do like the final image even if it is a bit different that what I normally do. I don't often do portraits in my work, but I think I like it in the end.

This is the first thesis piece I am posting on my blog, and the only thesis piece I am doing in pixels. My thesis is to illustrate "gods" or concepts I believe have too much influence on the modern person. This one is of technology.

Real quick exercise, wanted to see how fast I could take an idea to finish. Did this in about two and a half hours, from thumbnail to finished vector piece. Sure, it's simple, but the idea is that its a logo or spot illustration of sorts.

I had no clue what to do for a background for this piece. I used to have some pixel art hearts floating around in the background, but I got some criticism for them and decided the piece was better off without them. I like the character's and the concept was fun to illustrate as well, we just had to illustrate the word "embrace".

These are 2 color studies for my 2nd thesis piece. I know I haven't gotten around to uploading my first thesis piece, but that's because it's a painting and it's pretty big. In any case, my thesis is to make a modern pantheon of god's, the first one was war, this one is beauty, or perhaps more accurately, the pursuit of beauty. The sketch itself isn't quite finished, I have to draw all the

The last assignment we were given in Advanced Computer Illustration was to redesign the cover art of a video game of our choosing. Pretty much everyone decided to do current generation games, but I decided to take things back a decade or so. The result is Bomberman, and overall I'm pretty happy with it. It's not the best composition I've ever done, but I did learn some new tricks in

Yes, I just did a self portrait, but, this ones in vectors! They're like the polar opposite of pixels right? And...well, okay there are some pixels in this one too.Actually, the reason why I did another self portrait is not (as some may argue) due to my narcissism. Rather, I had to do a self portrait for a poster, and then my professor assigned us a self portrait after we got back from

Here is the finished Children's Book Illustration. I like it, but I think at some point in the near future I will try to tweak some parts of it. I'd like to get my class critique first though.

One of the things you have to do Senior Year at Ringling is make a Self portrait for the Senior Illustration Show's poster. I decided to do mine in pixels, since I'm pretty much the only artist in the senior class that uses pixel art in his work. It should hopefully put me apart from the crowd.

My first acrylic painting in almost 2 semesters. One thing that I will always love about digital stuff is the ability to mirror the image as you work on it, so you can see discrepancies with the symmetry of a face. You can't do that with a painting, and it shows here. Her eyes are not symmetrical and it really bugs me. I didn't even realize it until I scanned it to put it on here. Other than

So this is the rough of my next piece. I wanted to do a product advertisement, but make it alot of fun. Eventually the girl's hair will become chinese dragons spitting fire (Ramen's spicey, get it?) This'll be my first painting in awhile, so lets hope I can pull it off!

My newest piece for illustration. I wanted to do a pixel piece again, but I had no idea how much of a challenge this thing was going to become. I had to go back and forth between Photoshop and MS Paint, which was ridiculously time consuming. At some point, I'm going to learn a faster way to do this. MS paint is fine for individual sprites, but not for a full fledged finish.Done in MS Paint,

Sooo...it's way too early in the morning to figure out if this thing is perfect...but I've been working on finishing it for about 8 hours straight. Just sent it to print, hoping to get into a very important gallery with it. I like it, but I can't help that nagging feeling that I've forgotten somethings.Done in Adobe Illustrator.

So I realized that I don't have any oil paintings up just yet. I went back and dug through some to see which ones I liked. Oils really are my least favorite of mediums, but I do like these at least.

My first piece of my Senior year! I don't really know how I feel about it yet, it'll take some time to figure out if I like it or not. It's certainly one of my most ambitious pieces with the reflections and extreme foreshortening. It was a lot of work getting the drawing right.Adobe Illustrator CS4

Sorry for it being a bit fuzzy when it gets blown up, but this is the first draft of my Business Card. I'm sure that my prof's will have loads of things to change about it, but I'm really quite happy with it thus far.Done in roughly an hour with MSPaint. Haha.

In my free-time I've been working on an 8-bit independent video game. I decided to try my hand at making a cover for it. Certain parts of this work, others don't, namely the reflection of the planet and snake in the visor. I'll probably come back to this one at some point and touch it up before I release the game.
