Managed to squeeze in one final bit of fan art, this time of the grand return of a certain Spheal.

Artwork done in the style of Ken Sugimori for a Baltoy named Mogon Daniel. Unlike a regular Baltoy, t has the visor and backpack from an Among Us crewmate.

A fake PokΓ©Dex entry for Mogon Daniel, a Baltoy from a Panoots Nuzlocke run. The entry reads as follows: Mogon Daniel, Suspicious PokΓ©mon, Ground/Psychic Type. A strange PokΓ©mon found in the Alola region that closely resembles Baltoy. Trainers beware: If its mood begins to sour, this is a sign that its psychic powers have foreseen an imminent catastrophe.

A 5-panel comic strip recreating the scene from Spongebob Squarepants season 1, episode 2 "Ripped Pants", only with a different ending. It uses Panoots' P-Wing character, the Baltoy named Mogon Daniel, and various Alolan NPCs instead of the usual characters. The first panel depicts a sorrowful Panoots holding Mogon Daniel as the NPCs look on from the background. A donderly ray of light shines upon the duo in the foreground. The yellow text (denoting it is Mogon Daniel speaking) reads, "Mogon... Daniel...". The second panel depicts a sadder Panoots, tears in his eyes and his mouth open to speak, as Mogon Daniel puts its hand on his chest. The pink text (denoting it is Panoots speaking) reads, "What do you need?" The third panel has both of them looking very sad, and the yellow text reads, "Mogon..." The fourth panel is a close shot of Mogon Daniel's lower face, a mouth that it normally does not have suddenly appearing and saying, "Daniel." The final panel is a zoomed out shot of the duo, Mogon Daniel with two Xs for eyes as it has fainted in Panoots' arms. Panoots yells to the sky, "WHYYY!!!!!" as the crowd behind them is revealed to be cardboard cutouts, a reference to how the background NPCs in battle scenes are rendered as flat cutouts in PokΓ©mon Sun and Moon. Behind one of them is Nebby, who playfully laughs.

Thanks for the shoutout! And yes, no A.I. was used in any of this art or any art I've ever made or will ever make. I'm against it to say the least.

(Also I was happy to see you back at QuakeCon this year! Was too nervous to say hi in person again, but I hope you had a great time. πŸ˜„)

A few of the early greyscale sketches for the Atlan painting. The top two sketches depict them viewed from high up as they march into the foggy distance. The bottom two sketches depict them viewed from ground level.

A few of the early greyscale sketches for the colosseum painting. They depict Doomguy in his Sentinel training armor both with and without a helmet, and from varying angles. The rightmost two examples have him knocking over two attackers at once.

Huge thanks to:

@emersontung.bsky.social for the art direction on these;
William Bao for final touch-ups and Nathan Elmer for additional feedback on the colosseum piece;
And everyone involved. Extremely grateful for the chance! πŸ’™

A digital painting depicting crowds of Sentinel citizens cheering on a line of Sentinel warriors and Atlans (which are mechs) as they march out to war. Banners sway energetically in the breeze as three ships fly overhead. To the right in shadow, a lone Deag watches on.

A digital painting depicting Doomguy in his Sentinel training armor standing in the middle of a massive colosseum packed full of spectators. The bodies of defeated combatants surround him while two Night Sentinel guards look on. Above him, King Novik and Deags Ranak, Nilox, and Grav watch closely. The banners of various Sentinel clans hang from the stands.

Here are the two digital paintings I got to do for DOOM: The Dark Ages! The Atlan painting appears in a few levels, and the colosseum painting appears once in Siege Part 2.

Still can't believe I got to do these, it's truly a dream come true. Early sketches and thanks in the post below!

Here are a couple alternate versions with different halo colors. Couldn't decide which I liked best.

It's looking like I won't be able to play The Dark Ages for a long time, but I hope everyone else enjoys it! 😈

Congrats to the whole id Software team and everyone involved with next week's launch of DOOM: The Dark Ages!
I've not had a chance to make much fan art lately, but I had to carve out some time to commemorate the occasion.

From @draqu.bsky.social 's gameplay showcase, there's a Face Avatar Style setting with three options. Assuming it hasn't changed by launch I imagine the three options are None / Normal / Classic, but that's just my guess.

At the end his eyes seem like they're glowing, almost like God Mode. The light on his chestplate has also changed from the original reveal. πŸ€”

Also some tablets depicting Wraith worship at the very start. The floaty vases after that remind me of some of the DOOM 3 Martian tech. So cool to see more!
