B-Day gift and update
B-Day gift for a friend of mine and a Kaworu Shinji image that I only uploaded on tumblr, because...well I sorta forgot a little bit. Going to upload some game stuff below so please keep watching. Its been a little while since I updated, but lately I have been a bit depressed. Trying to find a job and what not...its getting to breaking points now...but going to push it aside, because my Birthday is tomorrow! Can't be sad anymore! Gotta just keep going. No where to go but up right? ;)

ANTics Logo!
Another project I worked on was the Logo for this game. A casual mobile game where you smash bugs and keep them away from your food. A post below will show other stages of the logo. It was created in Illustrator.
Updating Faces to Selatria.
So, I have been given the awesome challenge to update the RPG game I am working on. What a blast! The challenge was to keep the same feel of the original design. So, I went to work on creating a cleaner, more appealing style for the players. The game was constantly getting ridiculed for its art. I hope the changes make the game more appealing and everyone can appreciate it more! :)
Characters are as follows:
Mage
Melanie
Luis

Talker
Shopkeeper
015
Commander Llona
Commander Shaw
Gobby

Graphic Design Stuff Old and New
ANTics Logo (Current WIP)
Nation Insignia's-Selatria
T-Shirt Designs
Mug Designs
Velcro Stitched Patches
Giant Mouse Pads
Deep from the archives is my Graphic Design stuff. I have been doing these things a bit more. Since working on a 16-bit game it is crucial to keep clean shapes and colors in mind. The images/sprites you work on are small and limited to what is possible. These were all for marketing and while all of them weren't used, it just shows a bit of a different side of me. Some from my past job, some from my current indie game I am working on and the other from a side commission. I am working on a dragon tattoo as well. I do have problems making dragons look cool and those tend to take longer for me, but I will upload it here once it is completed.

Speed Paints
I am going to speed paint once a day or try to. Why is speed painting important? It helps acquire knowledge for quick placement of tones, hues, figures, environment and feeling for your art. I am sure there is more, but my brain is falling apart. I am studying Unreal Editor atm as well. I swear more pro things are going to be posted within the week! *hides*
Artist Note: I am having some pains in my drawing wrist so bear with me as I try to let this heal as FAST as possible. Thank you!
