There's something incredibly compelling about the way 14 is framed by the dark wall with those two tube-shaped objects only catching a little light from above... for me anyway. Looking nice so far, what does the progress-o-meter say?

I guess I'll check it out if happen to catch the right pc in the lab :)

A little belated, but i thought id jump in to give splat some pep.
Although he does fall into style crutches and does very similair subject matter, atleast he produces thats more than most of us can say.
Its obvious theres been a growth in technical skill from the old to new, and all the subtle color mixtures in him are sexy.

Title screen for the game we're making. It's coming along nicely. A few more weeks and there'll be a beta of sorts up.

It's going to be an online beat 'em up with some rpg elements. I say some because we did away with the awful picking up a thousand useless items which seems to play an integral role in rpgs. Specifically mmorpgs. I'm not really at liberty to divulge too much about it yet but I'll make sure to do so when we actually put something out.

For now here's a couple more screen shots.




They're  just mockups but that'll give you an idea of how the levels will look. Unfortunately I didn't include the UI or characters in the mocks. Some things are dated as well.

A mistake is a mistake.
The same mistake twice is a bad habit.
The same mistake three or more times is a motif.

I like those trees. The pattering and plant tip ones are my favorite of the bunch. I think that the fills could work further off in a background but, the linear looks too chunky to be organic. That's my two cents.

I really need to practice more with water colors. I bought a set a while back, made two attempts at a painting and called it quits. Your studies are always quite fun and informative and at times- inspirational.

That's a good-looking drawing.  The space between his lower lip and his chin seems a bit small, though.
