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. The Quarry Gang aren't necessarily bad guys, they are simply not good guys. They are a gang of less-fortunate who have made an … Continue reading Completed Enemy – 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. 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
From the Sketchbook – Loads and Loads of Enemies
In the interest of getting caught up with all of the characters drawn so far, I've decided to share every sketch I have that hasn't seen an article made for it. An official launch for this website is coming soon and I would like to share as much of what's in the works for The … Continue reading From the Sketchbook – Loads and Loads of Enemies
Completed Project – Swamp Crawler Sprite
Another day, another period of sprite work. Today, I tackled another early game monster to create a sprite for. Swamp Crawler is the first boss of the game, who will eventually become a regular enemy encounter as the game goes on. As I've mentioned an earlier posts, he's basically a big frog. At the same … Continue reading Completed Project – Swamp Crawler Sprite
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 – Spider Demon
The Spider Demon is another one of our early game boss monsters, meant to be a boss for a side quest very early on in the game. You'll encounter this monster in the outskirts of Drumbo to the west side of town. He's one of the bosses hidden in the Get Lost Woods. I had … Continue reading Completed Enemy – Spider Demon
Today’s Sketches – Moving Beyond Chapter One
Here's the latest from the sketchbook for the game. I picked up some new art books recently, so some of these creatures are based on trying out some new ideas from that. I'm also working to begin filling out some of the monsters that appear beyond the first section of the game. At this point, … Continue reading Today’s Sketches – Moving Beyond Chapter One

Completed Enemy – Howler
The Howler was one of the earlier monsters that I drew for The New World Saga and surprisingly one of the tougher ones to nail down the visuals for. First off, I will admit that the creature looks a little janky. To be honest, I was going for that with making it. The Howler is … Continue reading Completed Enemy – Howler
Completed Project – Off-Brand Pop
A bit of an interesting rabbit hole today. Working on off-brand pops to include in the game, since I'm trying to avoid real-world brand names like Coca-Cola and Pepsi. This weekend, my daughter P decided to color on a pop can with some nail polish. I ended up liking the design she made, so I … Continue reading Completed Project – Off-Brand Pop
