He/Him/His. Digital artist and aspiring game designer. Always down for art moots!

Introduction

Hello all!

This is my third and final attempt at making an account on this site, as my last two were terminated without explanation. Though I believe I know what caused it, and I shall avoid those conditions while using this site from now on!

I decided to come back here after 5+ years due to a lot of crazy stuff happening. Twitter is about to explode, and DeviantArt is overrun by AI art. I figured that this site is the last one remaining for a hobby artist like me to share their work and interact with a community of like-minded people.

So, allow me to introduce myself!

I am Magic Polygon. My real name is Carlos Franco, as you will see on my art watermarks, but I respectfully ask that I be called by my username unless we are close friends. My pronouns are he/him/his. I am primarily a 2D digital artist, but I also do other types of art sometimes, such a 3D art, music, and possibly others.

My main interest is original character art, but I also do weapons and occasional environments. I'm really into scifi and fantasy, especially as an aspiring game designer. Speaking of which, I've got some game projects that I've been working on, which you'll also likely see posts about on here at some point!

SO... what can you expect to see on my blog? Artwork, both 2D and 3D, game project work, ramblings about the current state of art and the game industry, and other ramblings about whatever is on my mind at the time.

That's all for now! Hope to see you soon!

Spellbound Secret🔮

In the dimly lit chamber, the young witch draws near the heavy tome, its whispers growing more insistent. She holds her breath, delicately tracing her finger along the adorned runes, and suddenly, a large yellow eye on the cover snaps open. The book quivers with an otherworldly aura, defying gravity as it hovers before her. Flipping itself open, it reveals the sought-after page, and from its forgotten pages, power surges into her outstretched hand. But what price must she pay for such forbidden knowledge and untamed power?

Between Two Lungs.

Get it? Because "lung" is a type of dragon? XD

Anyway.

So these are two dragon OCs from a cancelled project I made as a teenager. They are both rainbow dream dragons and they are called Horatio and Elijah. This drawing is also a re-draw of a much older drawing.

Elijah used to be called Elysia, but I changed his gender after coming up with the idea that they start finding their "true colours" (and that's what is the most important aspect of being a rainbow dragon). I love the trope of couples growing and changing together, and I also wanted to do something special in time for pride month.

I will also be opening up special pride-themed commissions soon! Keep an eye out :3

Also if you like my stuff and want to support me, please consider donating a Ko-Fi so I can draw more gay dragons hehe.

Monster chase! Run run run!

Clip of a game I put together. See my post before this one for more context.

Since my normal game projects were taking too long to finish, I decided to challenge myself to make a simple game in the span of three weeks. I wanted to see what I could make that's playable and doesn't go overboard in scope.

So, I made a simple horror game! No story, no explanation, you're just trapped in a dark maze with a vicious monster and you've got to escape. Find three keys hidden in chests and evade the monster as you explore, then look for the hidden exit hatch.

Honestly, the part that took longest while building this was the sprites for the player character. I reused assets from my main project for the map tiles and the monster sprites (which I will show a bit of in the second video I post). And then after that the hardest part was looking for sound effects and music... and getting them to play properly.

But, I succeeded! Just one day short of three weeks is what it took to finish this little concept. I don't know if I should continue to build on it or stick with my original plan to just leave it as a quick project.
