concept sketches of space baby - an alien baby with a set mission to explore space, interacting with the most hostile of characters, they are sometimes accompanied by an older, more mature alien detective - there's a lot space baby can't comprehend, so intervention is needed at points cause after all, he's just a space baby!! #characterdesign #conceptart #indedev

I don’t mute topics my self I feel I should see them but if your feed is not 70% positive, intreating, insightful and just inspirational for your art then your missing out. Make your feed fuel your art always and not something that drives to be sad about the creative act.

I think about how satisfying it would be if each series of star trek was in an alien language and has english subtitles, all of this SPACE and everyones talking english ??????? the world builder within screams - universal translator just doesn't satisfy the nerd in me

Not me seeing someone actually taking a repost of an animation from an artist I love and using it as an opportunity to go like “I’m gonna compare this to a tv show I don’t like and shit on both of them”. Why is it so hard to be nice????

vape in one hand, mango loco monster in the other and a telekinetic grip on my 0.5mm muji pen gliding it across paper, fully entering flow-state and weaving some of the most captivating ideas I've had in years

Thought I'd put my logo designs on my portfolio since I apparently made a whole bunch that make me happy.

My little brother had an idea for a game while he was still just a kid in high school. 8 years later, he has managed to bring UNBEATABLE to reality through nothing but blood, sweat and tears, and with the incredible contributions of his teams at @dcellgames.com and @playstack.com

continuation of character concepts, starting to play more with this moss-like hair the character has, playfully add natural materials like leaves, branches into this, maybe birds nest on top of their hair, sustaining it's own ecosystem

sketches of secondary mushroom characters, thinking about the shapes and sizes of these friends, maybe they wear silly moss jumpsuits and flower necklaces?
