Development

[dailydoodleben]

Back to work! Wanted to give some energy to the door being kicked open in this scene. I was making no progress for a long time before my incredible girlfriend pointed out that the door should bow before opening. She will always be the brains in our relationship.

I may iterate once or twice more before colouring.

Been a long time since I posted on here or make any pixel art. This is a test piece for a smaller scale more suited for a dungeon crawling game.

I wanted to get some more variety on here so these are for some work I did on a fan mod for the game Delver. It was great trying to work to someone else’s style but the project was led in a very loose manner and the project lead would change his mind on the fly so I left the project.

Seems like it’s still going strong so good for them. I hope I can stretch my wings artistically again at some point.

His limp needs some smoothing out but it’s finally getting there.

Concept for a twinstick shooter version of Brindleby. I have a whole concept for “Hunt for the Ham Baron” a roguelike dungeon crawler that takes you into the sewers hunting a madman. I hope to make it someday.

Ghost town. A former place of industry and the future, now just filled with spectres and memories.

Life has definitely been a more pressing matter than game development for almost every member of our team of late. I’d always rather the people I care about take care of themselves so I’ve taken the chance to stream and draw up some samples for a Freakshow side project.

I’ve had LARPING on my brain since I went away with my incredible girlfriend in August and the main way to communicate outside of the game is to send a private message or a “Raven”. So I drew up a raven to make my messages that bit more personal.

A great workmate gave me the idea of a kinetic gun so I wanted to play around with it artistically.

If I could animate only one character for the rest of my life, I think it would be Brindleby.

Brindleby the Civilised Swine enjoys a smoke after a night of emergency surgery.

Work in progress of another verrival scrolling teaser

planning out the animation for Doctor Crumb. A once brilliant man who has been pushed to the brink by less scrupulous types.

He’ll talk to our protagonist but he’s not particularly happy to!

Forgive the slight flicker, the limited colours in a gif didn’t like this scene.
