B'Wah? Cave Story? TV?

2011-04-19T02:10:00.008-04:00

This is an experimental work on "What if Cave Story was a TV Show." Converted rough storyboards I drew into an animated gif to get a sense of what I'm aiming for. Right-click ---> View Image (for a larger version.

I was playing the game on Wiiware recently with the updates... It's better now.

And, yeah, I'm dying for a shower.

Scott Pilgrim vs. My Raging Cold

2010-09-03T00:29:00.009-04:00

A pair of works I whipped up about Scott Pilgrim.sss

... as my cold continues.

Promo-phobe

2010-08-27T02:38:00.003-04:00

Action 52 Game Remake ---> City of Doom, being developed by my buddies at SharkArmStudios.

Hero Core - Hard Mode (complete)

2010-08-01T23:47:00.007-04:00

So yeah, I beat it on Hard Mode. That Plasma Hydra was a handful, lemme' tell ya.

Now all that's left is "Annihilator" mode, and I will have finished the game.

Hero Core - Hard Mode

2010-08-01T00:42:00.003-04:00

Beaten... and so I made a draft of a really cool situation. I'll put the final version up eventually

MNU Standard Issue

2010-07-29T00:39:00.004-04:00

3 days + 11000 triangles + District 9 = Vektor CR-21

Contest Piece

2010-06-17T23:47:00.006-04:00

So I came across this contest for a game called Fantasy Earth Zero, and the winner gets a new WACOM tablet. I got a draft done, but I got to work. I'll be cutting it close.

Here's the finished version. "Taste the Difference"

Hero Core

2010-05-20T16:28:00.005-04:00

Hero Core, an indie game by Daniel Remar. Play it, Enjoy it, Relish it. Only my first run through, and on Normal. Still have to try the different maps on Hard and Annihilation mode.

Now for Something Completely Different

2010-05-11T12:03:00.002-04:00

A less than urban graphic of a place in Baltimore I've never seen before

Classic Content 2

2010-04-28T16:50:00.004-04:00

Continuing with my older art style, I moved on to this one.

I thought a lot about old stories wear one man goes to great lengths to earn the attention/respect/love of a woman. I'm sure he'd experience severe suffering for her.

Classic Content

2010-04-25T01:30:00.003-04:00

My younger, romantic days as an artist were a time when my works were at their purest with being clear, illustrative, and expressive. I went and tried recapturing those old days.

But it could be because I had watched William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet a little while ago.

Progress

2010-04-23T10:48:00.010-04:00

Okay, so the big worry over my graphics tablet.... still exists, but it's now a bit more manageable. I just need to be aware of USB cord's position for their to be connectivity. Anyway, I had to revise one background.

And I'm struggling on interior design for an apartment loft. Will be busy with that.

The only thing I worked on was the background.... honest (working on rev_1).

Bad News

2010-04-11T20:26:00.002-04:00

My graphics tablet has been acting up a lot lately. I have a bad feeling. I don't think it has long to live...

Portrait/Parody?

2010-04-09T15:00:00.004-04:00

Don't tell her I did this. Cool?

Should try making a bookmark out of it. Or maybe a wall scroll?

Ghost

2010-04-07T12:12:00.005-04:00

... And so our story begins, again.

2010-03-30T20:01:00.003-04:00

Oh God... what have I done... I BLEW it up!!!!

Now, onto stuff I've yet to do.

Hee hee

2010-03-26T01:50:00.007-04:00

Something Huge is on the horizon, and I think It's going to drive me nuts.

On a side note, I finally beat Cave Story by besting the Sanctuary and Ballos and getting the true ending. Did this one within 20 minutes.

....Now what? Curly Mode? Hard Mode?... bah, I dunno...

Oh Flutter finished.... for now

2010-03-19T16:26:00.005-04:00

This guy's done, and with enough blue to murder your display.

I have this urge to make it EPIC.... will be back later with that one.

Didn't Know I Had It in Me

2010-03-19T02:37:00.006-04:00

Whew.... tired... Did some more artwork. Good thing I did took my time making this one systematically. They also want variations on season to autumn, and I'm anticipating different times of day.

Oh well, gotta keep busy...

Oh Flutter! 2.0

2010-03-03T23:37:00.003-05:00

In Progress ------- it's about 1/3 - 1/2 done. I need some more time to work on it, but here's what I got so far.

I'll keep at it.

Oh Flutter!

2010-02-26T16:16:00.006-05:00

So yeah, I haven't been productive on this blog. SO I'll try a little harder in March and whatever follows.

An idea I had for the crew at SharkArmStudios.

Heh heh, it's not everyday that I'm reminded of PEANUTS. I just had to do this one.

Eh?

2010-02-04T03:45:00.008-05:00

"Insectoids" I was told. "Insectoids" I went and drew.

Coolie Beetles

Roaming Hinge Beak Stabba-pillar

Atlas McNastus Beetle

And no, they aren't Pokemon.

Something On Hold

2010-01-27T19:20:00.005-05:00

I was rummaging through my art library when I came across this piece. It's Quote and Curly Brace from Cave Story.

SC2: Ghost Head

2010-01-26T16:53:00.004-05:00

Was looking at Star Craft 2 game character models/designs. Testing some old cross-hatching techniques.
