DRAWING IN CIRCLES

Doodly doodly gook. Fshook. Badook. Man, I am really into drawing weird noses lately. I did this while mostly listening to Les Baxter's "Space Escapade" album, which just sounds like all the amazing weird "WOOORLD OF TOMORROW" type music you would hear back in the 50's.

This is how morning always feels to me.

So I went through a bunch of my old pic posts from 2008-2010 from the LiveJournal days and decided to import them over for the heck of it, so hopefully nothing too crazy exploded as a result. LiveJournal was a charming system, but throwing up giant full screen video ads was the last straw. Exporting anything out of it now is rather painful.

Super Monday Night Combat - Sir Cheston

2012-04-23T09:30:00.000-07:00

The game I've been helping out on, Super Monday Night Combat, got released a little early last week. It's available on Steam and free to play! Give it a spin and see what you think.

I had some spare moments this weekend so I drew my favorite new character in SMNC, Sir Cheston.

Got sucked into a music tinkering vortex inside Ableton and popped out a tune I'm pretty happy with. Sometimes you just hear a certain instrument and you think "YES, I have to make something with that". For me this time it was the organ.

Been these days working on prototyping several ideas in Unity. It's pretty satisfying to have finally come to a point where I can try out ideas pretty quick. I have one I'd like to post soon but I reckon I should make it a bit more presentable first.

I've also been playing Lone Survivor, an indie survival psychological horror game. I'm in frickin love with the atmosphere in it. The vibes definitely call back to some of the original Silent Hills, with a dash of Twin Peaks. I definitely recommend it if you're into that whole thing. Buy it instead of Silent Hill: Downpour.

In the meantime, random demon happy fun time continues. The coloring on this one sorta came inspired from the Instagram filters. I originally tried taking a picture of the screen and running it through, but it came out looking like blurry bloomsploions in my opinion.

Whoops

2012-03-11T22:38:00.000-07:00

Had some minor issues over the week and the blog was collapsing in on itself creating a terrifying internet black hole, but everything's all good now. Just got back from an amazing GDC and I'm revitalized again to start cranking out on some audio/visual game ideas.

A Post Title!

Count Raum Finished

Here's my finished bit for the Ars Goetia 72 Demons project. If there's demons to be done I'm there!

Special thanks to Mr. Vinod Rams for some great feedback during the final part.

The hardest thing about posting is figuring out what to name the blog titles.

Raum - Great Earl of Hell

2012-02-06T15:30:00.000-08:00

Here's something I'm doing for the Ars Goetia 72 Demons project. My assigned demon is Count Raum- a demon lord that takes the form of a crow which steals treasures from kings, can destroy cities and dignities of men, tell the past present and future, and reconcile friends and foes or lovers.

Retro Art Show

2012-02-03T10:33:00.000-08:00

I recently did a piece for the Retro Art Show tribute up at the Piranha shop in Seattle. I decided to go with Ghosts'n Goblins and Gargoyle's Quest/Demon's Crest, since they both actually share the same universe and were both staples in early feeble gaming years and . Back when 16-bits was enough and you'd STILL have change leftover for a soda and a hot dog gad-nabbit. First time I ever tried printing something on canvas, I think it came out alright.

Welp, survived the holidays with only minor mental damage. Time to get back to sketching.

Is it a Turkey? Is it a chicken? Or is it just delicious?

Rakinos Design & Handy

2011-11-10T02:51:00.000-08:00

Tried to finish this before Halloween but got sidetracked by many things. I wanted to take a stab at making
something more flashy.

In other news, I just submitted my first app to the iTunes store called Handy. Currently waiting on it to get approved. What is Handy? Well, for the longest longest time I've been wanting something like PoseManiac's Hands for Drawing (Warning: digital dong will greet you) to be available on my phone so I could be more inclined to use hand reference (using a mirror can sometimes be a nag). I even emailed the PoseManiac guy several times about getting something started, but no luck.

So I went and made my own with the powers of Unity and the amazing Alex Hogan who generally knows what the hell he's doing more than I do. We took it a step further and made it so you can even adjust the lighting and field of view. Pretty simple project, but still fun to work on to figure out a lot of the kinks. I'll post more when it's finally approved.

Recently grabbed RockSmith for PS3 and all my drawing/painting productivity has nosedived. It's a pretty decent shot at bringing some form of entertainment to practicing guitar. And while it's far from perfect (game has some serious UI flow issues, as well as clunky load/save times) it's definitely a good first step in the right direction. I'm pretty terrible at guitar, so anything that gets me excited to practice it 2-3 hours everyday is a pretty satisfying purchase. Also being able to actually play Muse's 'Unnatural Selection' is a pretty big rush.

Messing around and having some fun with swatches. I really got to get around to producing some finished looking art again.

In the meantime I'm working on a small iPhone app. More details on that soon.

More random doodley goo. Monkeys in space suits always seem like a good idea.
