Judexis' Art and Game Development

A place where i post game art and development progress for games. Right now I'm working on a game called The Last Days of Magic.

[djudexis]

This is one of the Fireborne, a custom race from my homebrew campaign.

[djudexis]

My new character for our Westmarches campaign! This is Schkeza a Half-Orc Bloodrager! ***Wow I usually am lucky to get a handful of interactions, thank you so much everyone! I did a few edits to fix some issues I discovered the next day***

[djudexis]

Did some illustrations of my friend’s cats as RPG characters from my own Universe (Catfolk are called Dawah.)  I also plan on using them as alternative races when Pathfinder 2.0 comes out, since I plan on DM-ing a campaign 

Points if you can guess what classes they are without looking at the tags!

I did some drawing this past weekend and created this character as my first for Starfinder! (Which came out today!) Her name is Sami Rana and she’s a soldier specializing in heavy armor and weapons, Gun arms aren’t a thing in the book yet, so its just for flavor at the moment. Are my influences too obvious?

Hercules beetle.

I draw pokemon (not so) daily. More pokedoodles here. Commission Info  

[djudexis]

Heracross has been my favorite pokémon since gold!

[djudexis]

Here’s Orion Strider with his hood up. Orion does this when he needs to do cool things, like Ash Ketchum with his hat, and it was requested by the player.

[djudexis]

Here’s Margdun Redforge again, this time with a helm and shield.

 Since his god, Akkan, is known as, “the Gearmaster,” i thought it would be cool to have that themed into his helmet and shield.

This is an illustration depicting Zilros riding his Eidolon.

I did an image of Zilros and his Eidolon separately, but since he will be riding it a lot in-game, i figured it would be best to do an image depicting that. I didn’t change either image all that much, I mostly just shifted Zilros’ legs and added a slight shadow.

[djudexis]

This is Zilros’ summon. He rides it into battle, charging into enemies.

I really wanted to make a horse/dragon hybrid, and this is the result. It also coincidentally has a Charmander color scheme.

[djudexis]

The last, but not least member of the group is Zilros Raswor! Zilros is a Lava Gnome Summoner. Zilros charges into battle on his Eidolon, (which is coming as a drawing as well.)

Gnomes are tough to draw, but I think this turned out well! His fiery hair comes from his Lava Gnome heritage.

[djudexis]

Our 4th member is Luchean Bak. Luchean Bak is a Marid Bloodline Sorcerer. This means that he descends from a powerful water Genie. Luchean prefers to cast spells and convert their damage to cold, and his bloodline power allows him to do just that.

I had some reservations about this character’s creation, but then I had an idea for a kind of, “seaweed,” robe. I think the colors work together nicely.

[djudexis]

The third member of our group is the Human Gunslinger Orion Strider. A man in his line of work doesn’t use their real name. Orion is a Musket Master, so he is a sniper of sorts.

Orion was fun to draw. I wanted to make a weird looking gun, that didn’t look advanced, but perhaps I went too far. Gold and blue look really great together.

[djudexis]

This is Ivara Thracius a Dusk Elf Magus. Ivara draws power from her magical birthmark which covers the right side of her face. Ivara is is 6′ 4″. Her intelligent scimitar weapon is yet unnamed.

It was a challenge taking the request for a character who had grey skin, purple hair, and a green birthmark, (CLASH.) But i think making the armor a dark green helped balance it out.

[djudexis]

I am starting a new Pathfinder campaign using Tabletop Simulator. I am playing with a few friends, so I decided it would be fun to draw in-game avatars for our characters.

This is my character Margdun Redforge. He is a Dwarf Cleric of the Machine god Akkan, (we are using exclusively Homebrew Deities.)

[djudexis]

Not very exciting, but here’s a coin animation from The Last Days of Magic. Enemies drop money when they are defeated and you can use the money to purchase gear or potions.

The coin is in a bubble because I think it looks cool, however it might be that coins can just sit on the ground and make a cool money sound like in Rogue Legacy.

Pixeled the Seinfeld Cafe #gamedev #pixelart #pixels So fun and relaxing doing this stuff!

So now an obligatory compilation post with all of the factions from my tabletop wargame. Some of these faction symbols are very much WIP, but they are somewhat representative. This is something I've never done before, with all of the factions drawn at the same time and in the same style. 

Also some plans I suppose. So I worked on two projects  last year, The Last Days of Magic, and my wargame Solis: Battalion. 

The Last Days of Magic is on hiatus for a while. The project requires programming and art, and I have no interest in programming. My fiend who was working on it has been taking a break, and I don’t want to develop assets for it while there is no vertical development going on. 

During the break I started working on my wargame, which mostly just requires art and is also a kind of portfolio project. I have been developing the world and lore for the Solis universe since I was in junior high. I have another friend who has an interest in programming and there’s a possibility that the wargame could go digital at some point.

The wargame project will allow me to create a lore/rules book which requires a lot of illustration. I don’t really have any full color illustrations I can use for a portfolio, and I really need some.

So I guess here is the plan for this year. I will work on my wargame and try to create full color illustrations for the game and maybe work on some sprites if the game can be digital. In addition, there’s the possibility we could always start working on The Last Days of Magic again. I still really like that project and would love to see it grow.

The main thing for this year is to start getting to a point where I could work in artwork in a freelance or professional way. Maybe start a podcast or stream art creation, and definitely to create a website. I really want to work in art and games, and I need to work harder to get there.
