BUT HOT DAYUM AT THE CONCEPT ART IT’S LITERALLY THE CUTEST THING…

(also the protagonist of Panda go panda was probably based on her design)

ZOMG *_*

  • spæ: Are you tired?
  • J: No, are you?
  • spæ: Sort of - you know, what's that...that kind of tired you feel when you've been excited all day? But for a whole week?
  • J: Ah.

this. so many agree-points.

Okay. Guys. Guys. Two things.

1) I’m a martial artist. I’ve been studying since I was seven. I wouldn’t even hesitate to say that I’m good at it. I have done work as a fight choreographer for film, and I am trained in stage combat as well.

2) I’m a contortionist. Yes. Again, since…

I’ve been talking about Earthbound so much, I thought I’d do a comic to back up all that talk. There was a cool feature in the game where you could play more after Giygas is defeated…that was kinda what I was thinking about here, just a group of friends, running around at night, celebrating, enjoying life.

I did a short course in game art this year…but on the other hand, I was so busy all this year the only game I played for longer than five minutes to completion was the most excellent Costume Quest!
Dragon Age 2 is one of those funny games that infuriates me, but I can’t stop playing it. It’s also been nice getting into a game enough to want to finish it…and I have all of 2012 to work on those other important projects, right?

I got a neat light cube for Xmas! Also a great prop for doing still life quick paints :)

It’s been a busy busy month, but now I can finally get to posting a bit of a preview from my latest comic.


This is a short chapter that will be in the next issue of The Thing That Should Not Be.

I’ve learned a lot more about art, painting and neat tools this year :) Here’s a half hour speedpaint, and a much quicker sketch

It’s been a busy couple of weeks, and a busy year all round but I’m looking forward to having some time to myself and my growing games collection (thx Steam).
It’s technically summer where I am, but it doesn’t feel like it! We’ve gotten some amazing and beautiful and crazy-intense storms over the past couple of weeks, and a lot of cold and rain in between. I hope you’re having a safe and happy holiday (or at least un-stressful time) wherever you are :)

It’s been a long time, but I’ve finished the Spring picture! For now.

Here’s the last post of this picture, back when spring began. I’ve removed the border, added a few more elements in the background and really pushed the values more. I’m not entirely sure how I feel about the trees, but I do think removing the border has strengthened the image a lot.
Spring in Australia is almost over! Although between all the weather changes we’ve had recently, I’m not entirely sure what season it has been here.
