Today's project was finishing up some enemies that appear in the early game. One of the first villain factions your characters will face off with is a group called The Quarry Gang.

Site Scouting for Battlebacks – Part Two
More pictures taken on the road recently, as I left the art desk and computer behind for a little site scouting. I've been working on the ideas around the battlebacks for The New World Saga.

Today, I started on a storyline enemy that will appear towards the end of the opening section of the game, a Cadaver. The Cadaver is basically a re-coloring of The Creep enemy, but at the same time, its not. As an undead enemy, the cadaver will function completely differently than a Creep normally would. It … Continue reading Completed Enemy – The Cadaver and Sprites

Essentially, this is Cthulhu meets Octodad if he worked at the grocery store. The first draft went the traditional route and monstrous, … Continue reading Today’s Sketches – Corporate Cthjim
