Spent hours researching last night because I got mad at trees. Came to the conclusion that trees suck, but waterfalls are cool. These are the kind of statements that come out of overthinking game design. Or to put it as a meme... Not wanting to leave you with just that, so here's a bit of … Continue reading WORK LOG – November 24th

Completed Enemy – Drumbo Dan
I've looked up many things over the course of this game's development, like examples of how to draw a tidal wave or how a quarry actually looks inside and out. I've even looked up the proper terms to use around driving 4-wheelers. Today's search tops everything. Today, I looked up Beavis's teeth. Beavis from the … Continue reading Completed Enemy – Drumbo Dan
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. Essentially, the backgrounds and foregrounds that are used for every battle in the game. Originally, I was debating on simply … Continue reading Site Scouting for Battlebacks – Part Two
Today’s Sketches – Corporate Cthjim
Corporate Cthjim is a random character drawing out of more random discussions at work, but it fits in really well with one of the sidequests later on, so welcome to the team Cthjim! 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
Completed Enemy – Creep
The Creep is another of the early enemies that you meet in the game and another monster I wanted to get just right. When I first sketched this monster, I was surprised by some of the early reactions I was getting to it. Quite a few people I showed it to thought it was cute! … Continue reading Completed Enemy – Creep
Completed Enemy – Swamp Crawler
The Swamp Crawler is one of the first enemies that you meet in the game and I knew I wanted to get this one right. I had sketched him out a couple of months ago, based on a monster I saw from a cartoon in the 1980s. From there, it was just a matter of … Continue reading Completed Enemy – Swamp Crawler
Completed Enemy – Hell Spider
This one took a bit of time to get done. This is one of the boss creatures early in the game, called a Hell Spider. The idea for it originally came from doing a drawing of Red from the Godzilla Creepypasta. That's when I thought... how could I make this thing creepier? It lives in … Continue reading Completed Enemy – Hell Spider
Completed Enemy – Angry Bull and its Variants
Here's today's project, the Angry Bull is another enemy early on in the game. I say enemy, but really, if you are dumb enough to go wandering into a bull's field, you get what's coming to you. And for everybody enjoying these random alternate forms I've been doing, here's two additional ones, both of them … Continue reading Completed Enemy – Angry Bull and its Variants
Completed Enemy – The Soul Doll
Today's project was a little more interesting, an enemy character that I'm calling a Soul Doll. Its basically a possessed tree stump in the middle of the woods. I've included the original picture with it this time, just to try and show some of the work that has been going into digitizing one of my … Continue reading Completed Enemy – The Soul Doll
