A new enemy for our roguelike, Junk ET. Up until this point, all of the game's enemies (which are beautifully designed) were created by the other artist on the team, Sergei, but I had a chance to come up with a creature this week. We use a program called Spine. I tried a couple of experiments with this joint-based animation style to see what I could do. (I made these with Flash since I'm more comfortable with the tool at the moment, but Spine is basically the same concept, but more robust as far as I...

If you've been following my Dribbble. Account you've probably already seen me post some artwork for a game called Junk ET. That I've been contributing to since January 2015. It's a roguelike about a waste removal agent who cleans up junk on various planets. The dungeons are completely randomized, so no two playthroughs are ever exactly alike. I've neglected to post about it here until now, but I'll try to change that! Here's a close up of some animation I did for the employees at the front desk.

Line Quality in Character Design. I have a brand new class on Skillshare! This is the fourth entry in an ongoing series about art style and character design. The class is designed for anyone of any skill level, so no prior experience is required to get into the lessons. All you really need is a simple drawing instrument to follow along with the key concepts. The class assignment will allow you to design a set of twin characters who look alike - except for the fact that one of them has no outlines!
