Iron Octopus Inc.

Took a break. Needed it.

Chuck is stuck on an alien world with everything that creeps crawls, gallops, and phases trying to kill him. (Kind of sounds like Australia).

Our protagonist isn't defenseless though.

Concepts!

Analog isn't dead with this video game dev! Long live ink and paper!

Chuck, our protagonist, has been cursed with a mutated arm.

Now... I just have to find ways to turn it into fun weapons.

I like your take on Crocket. 😉

Exciting news!

Chuck, the protagonist of my game is going to have a irl version. The work on designing the plushie is underway.

The designer insisted on the toe beans.

I couldn't stop her.

Crocket!

From quick sketch to something more refined. The character is relatively the same for now. I'll work on him more as the game develops.

Friend or foe? What do you think?

This is Chuck.

He fell through a crack in the universe—and landed in a prison built for gods.
Now he’s hunted by monsters, shadows… and something that twists inside him.

I'm building the game that tells his story.

When it’s ready… he’s going to need your help.

#CosmicHorror #2DGame #IndieGame

Alrighty then!

I’ll post the revised version of Crocket here in a bit, but in the meantime, here’s some nightmare fuel for you.

Another "friend" for the protagonist of the game.😁

Alrighty then!

Just a quick character sketch.

There's a big world to populate and make interesting for you... When you play my game... Sometime in the future...

"Crocket"

Sounds like the beginning to an old German lullaby. 😅

Hello Everybody!
Chuck has gone through some changes and with those changes come a brand new player sprite.

We can rebuild him. We have the technology. Better... Stronger... Faster.

The protagonist of the new video game I'm working on, is a rabbit named Chuck.

This monster is designed to hunt Chuck.

Run Chuck.

Run.

Thanks! That is a sweet .gif choice. 😁

Alrighty then!

Diving into a new monster set for my game.

Why just stay with flesh and blood monsters, when you can have cosmically charged shadows hunting the protagonist?

#illustration #conceptualart #Yeg #gamedev #Lovecraft #gamers #indiedev #gameart #IndieGameDev #2DGame #TopDownGame

The game is looking much more gamier! I miss the old Doom portrait interactions so the scowl is awesome! Also, the portrait illustrations are looking much more tight. Looks great!

Alrighty then! Back to the game screen mockups.

Our little protagonist "Chuck" does seem to get himself into the weirdest/creepiest places. He told me he saw some loot down there.

And now the finished version! Hey there everybody! It took a little longer than I thought, but that's ok, now I can get back to work on videogames again. No more posters... for now.

#DigitalArtist #digitalart #indiedev #gameart #conceptualart #IndieGameDev #illustration #yeg #digital #artwork

Hello everybody! So... I'm almost done the colouring for the latest poster, cool. Not cool, 5 new ideas for the series jumped into my head and they really want out. Damn it. So many ideas not enough time.

#DigitalArtist #digitalart #indiedev #gameart #conceptualart #IndieGameDev #illustration #yeg

While I'm working on monsters for my game, that I'll upload later, and chipping away at the new poster, here's a preview of a poster that already is done.
I really do like putting characters in danger. 😁

#DigitalArtist #digitalart #indiedev #gameart #conceptualart #IndieGameDev #illustration #yeg

And now for something completely different! Hey there everybody! Here's a little something that I've been chipping away at, when I'm not working on the new game. So close to being done.

#DigitalArtist #digitalart #indiedev #gameart #conceptualart #IndieGameDev #illustration #yeg #SteamGames

Hey Everyone! Here's the latest playscreen concept for the new game I'm working on. Take a peek and let me know if you would be interested in playing a game that looks like this!😁 Next screen, inventory!

#illustration #conceptualart #Yeg #gamedev #Lovecraft #gamers #indiedev #gameart #IndieGameDev

More character designs! What do wandering entities without physical forms do when they want to interact with the Player? They build bodies out of the environments that their in. Jungle Avatar for the win!

Thanks BRINE! One character, environment, quest at a time. This is going to be fun.

Hahaha! This is the answer. It's the mashup that I didn't realize that I needed. Old school Zelda + Darksouls + Lovecraft + Digimon.

Hmmm. So our little rabbit protagonist "Chuck", needs to eventually beat this guy. I'm really going to have to design some cool weapon upgrades and maybe even some armour.

Back to designing.

#illustration #digitalart #monsters #rpg #conceptualart #Yeg #gamedev #Lovecraft #gamers #indiedev

New monster design for the environmental concepts! I think our little protagonist "Chuck" may be in trouble.

Colour version to come soon.

Hey everyone! I’ve been hard at work building more mockup screens for my new game. Mixing alien environments and our little rabbit protagonist “Chuck” to get the right mix of cute and corrupted.
#illustration #DigitalArt #indiedev #gameart #conceptualart #IndieGameDev #Lovecraft

Old school Zelda type with Dark Souls elements. I think it might work.

Hey everyone! I’ve been hard at work building mockup screens for my new game. Mixing an alien world and our rabbit protagonist “Chuck”, I think I might be on to something. Thoughts?

You had a lot of people whispering about this in the bleachers. I think they were impressed!
