Cartoony drawing of people standing around a grocery store.

Cleaning up backgrounds with the correct separation of characters vs backgrounds this time. #indiegame #gamedev #godot #2dart #dnd

Still changing the UI. I made the inventory bigger with buttons you click to move up/down. You click the grocery list icon (top right) to view your quests. Working on the logic for mouse hover and clicks. #godot #indiegame #indiedev #2dart #dnd

Different poses and facial expressions of pregnant character in green socks.

Behold Beatrice, your rogue class companion in "Don't Talk To Me". Besides that I'm fixing menus and designing a modal menu for inspect/talk when you hover over NPCs and objects in the game. #godot #indiegame #indiedev #dnd #2dart

Medieval art style doodles

I'm working on a white paper on healthcare data operations and made these medieval art-style doodles to go in it.

Found an old prototype for "Late Night Surfing" - a Big Comfy Couch tv show spoof. Timing the mouth movements and getting the overlays to work when you changed channels sucked. You can play the full game for free: decolfutures.itch.io/late-night-s...

Thanks! Rugrats is part of my art references. I'm glad that came through.

Background art for a video game showing grocery store shelves and a ceiling.

Background art for a video game showing a front door and open doorway with a covered window.

Background for a video game showing a curved kitchen floor, green fridge, and pet food bowl.

This weekend I worked on backgrounds. I want to return to the game's front menu next. #indiegame #gamedev #godot #dnd #2d #art

Caw stares at you the reader through a sunset lit window. Text on the window reads: let's meet at DAM and Museums.

I'm attending the DAM and Museums 2026 / Digital Preservation Summit by Henry Stewart Events on February 5th. They just released the agenda and I see a networking session at 10:30am ET. Who else is going? Want to meet up virtually?

Today's progress is this angry snake. I love the idea of rewarding players for doing the weird choice and poking around. Maybe you'll find a treat or an angry snake. #indiegame #gamedev #2d #art #dnd

I made a comic of my big wins last year doing grown up stuff. #freelance #comic #dam #indiedev

Experimenting with colors in character designs. Also, their perception was high so they saw a door there. #2d #art #godot #indiegame #indiedev #dnd

I see the vision. #2d #art #godot #indiegame #indiedev #dnd

GAME OVER - by guest composer @ reqwsp on twitter

8 months of progress... #indiegame #gamedev #art #2d #dnd #godot

Prototype user interface of a video game called Don't Talk To Me showing a sleeping cat with a bag on the floor in front of busted glass in a frozen food aisle.

My irl cat's obsession with me inspired my short rest mechanic. You regain some spell slots/health/barbarian charges if you take a cat nap. Sometimes this mystery bodega cat also brings you items. #indiegame #gamedev #2d #art #dnd

Prototype user interface of the DnD style video game Don't Talk To Me showing an item description of Duck Tape.

I'm starting to come up with one time use only items like Duck Tape (a duck taped to a VHS). He's gonna try to convince you to untape him for a reward, but you gotta give up something really valuable. #indiegame #gamedev #2d #art #dnd

I read the entire DnD rulebook and while it percolates, I made these new NPCs and fixed some more background sizes.

Looks great.

Stunning!

New UI WIP. I have to expand my backgrounds to fit the bigger window. #2d #art #indiegame #gamedev #godot #dnd

Busy with work, but still finding time to doodle/practice. I made these doodles into emojis. They're like all my moods this holiday seasons.

Selfie doodles. #2d #art

Can’t afford therapy? We’re releasing Drywall Eating Simulator on Dec 10th, so get ready for a tasty distraction from the stresses of life.

Wishlist on Steam to get the freshest drywall!

It's a redone UI for an indie game I'm making. You play as Janice (the rat in the bottom left) in a DnD-style turn based battle fighting to get groceries with your low social battery.

I started thinking through the game menus and realized the basic interface needed a remix for turn-based combat. WIP layout progress! #2d #indiedev #indiegame #dnd #art

Janice the rat character doodles making different faces like uwu, skeptical stare, and neutral stare.

Working on faces and backgrounds without much to share right now. I had this thought to make more weird items to find in the grocery store so working on that too. #2d #art #indiegame #gamedev #dnd #cartoon

Game UI showing a gremlin biting into a soup can on a grocery shelf to the right and Janice the rat with health damage to the left.

Making shelf space to pick up items and encounter NPCs to battle. #2d #indiegame #gamedev #art #dnd
