The serpent and cut out moon shapes in drapes she's pushing apart form the symbol of the tripple goddess

Spoke to some old coworkers, and they’re gonna post something to @thunderfulgames.bsky.social ! :)

That makes me really happy to hear! I don’t have access to any of it right now, but I’ll throw out some lines and see what I can catch!

Hey, thanks for asking! If it’s just personal use for your home game, go ahead 👍

Playing around with artstyle for a new game idea #gamedev

A digital drawing of an orc viking woman. She's got one leg resting on the skull of a horned monster and both arms resting on a greatsword. Looks grim and badass

Working on some viking-orc designs #conceptart

Celebrating my grandpas 90s birthday. We’re eating on these amazing plates, hand painted by him. The series is called “the gulls”

A closeup portrait of a savage looking man with red eyes and dark messy hair. Only one eye is visible, the other is in shadow

Last weekend I got drunk and drew fanart of some characters from the #Malazan book series. My drunk interpretations of Tavore, Karsa, Smiles and Hellian

I've been drawing my gnomes for a while, thought it was time for a scientific study of their anatomy. #art #gnome

A drawing of one piece characters dressed as batman characters in Gotham. Nami is catwoman, Bonney in her child form is batgirl. Carrot is Harley Quinn, Robin is Poison Ivy, Vivi is Black Canary, Tashigi is Katana. A batman symbol is visible in the clouds, but it's a straw hat

One Piece girls as Batman characters? One Piece girls as Batman characters! A fun piece of crossover fanart

Gnomes out and about #art

Me and my friends joke a LOT about how Phasmophobia manages to make their UI worse with each update... We still play it A LOT though so I guess joke's on us huh

Finally finished the first prototype of Stranger in the Walls, my point and click/visual novel game where you play a homeless man who's snuck into the walls of a family's house. Hyped to do some playtesting! #gamedev #indie #indiedev

Slowly making progress on the first prototype of my horror/thriller/social commentary game where you play a homeless man who's snuck into the walls of a family's home. You can sneak into empty rooms to explore and search for food #gamedev #indie #indiedev

Seasonal events to decorate your shells. Micro transactions for different shell-skins. Enemy faction with salt-theme

Godot has been a breath of fresh air in my life this year. A helping hand to pull you out of corporate game dev hell

A sketchy drawing of an office. Very loose lines, exploring how much stuff should be on screen. It's a simple one point perspective with a desk, chair, computer and stuff. A door on the left wall, some shelves. The far wall has a window

Felt too tired to do code work on my prototype tonight, so I started some sketching exploring how much stuff should be in a room. Making a point and click game where you play a homeless man hiding in the walls of a family's home. When rooms are empty, you can sneak in and explore #gamedev #indie

Thank you! I'm having so much fun with it :)

I have stared at the tree-drawing for several minutes now, I adore it! The colours really click for me

A screenshot from a game prototype. Shows a room in the "walls" part of the game.

Screenshot from game prototype. Shows a closeup of a vent with a dialogue box stating "If you could find something thin and hard, you could unscrew the screws holding the metal lid"

Screensho from game prototype, show's a vent with light coming from the holes. Dialogue box states "Lowering yourself into the dust, you press your face close to the grate"

Screenshot from game prototype. Shows a background image of a kitchen and two character portraits visual novel style, a man and a woman. A dialogue box reads "The Woman: A house being renovated is filled with dangerous things"

My first solo project "Stranger in the Walls" is a point and click game where you play a homeless man who has snuck into the walls of a family's home. Social commentary, narrative heavy and very thriller/horror. Having SUCH a blast. First prototype soon ready for testing #godot #gamedev #indie

That sounds delicious

What’s the tastiest thing you ate today?

A draing of an anthropomorphic fox guy sitting rakishly in something undefined. Comic book artstyle

My #furry sketching continues. Today it's a fox guy. These sketches are explorations for a game idea I'm obsessed with, an anthro dating sim where you date various crime bosses. They're all carnivores, you're a herbivore. Very shocking, very outrageous #gamedev

Only way to survive out here in the Wild West

A comic book style sketch drawing of an athropomorphic lion. He's holding a sword and is quite fit. Trust me, he's hot

My experimental sexy furry sketching for a game idea I'm currently obsessed with #gamedev #furry #anthro

Yeah it's a real shame, lots of very talented people. Appreciate the well-wishes!

An anthropomorphic cat-like character in a trenchcoat holding a needle. Purple/blueish colors, comic art style with lots of black fields

My current obsessive #indiegame idea (first prototype almost finished, even) is currently battling for control with my shiny and sparkly new indie game idea. So for reasons, I must learn to draw cool #anthro characters

I have no doubt everyone will land on their feet eventually, even if it might be rough for a while. Who knows, maybe we'll even see some indie studios pop up due to this
