Finding Edward
Working on the design of the main character in that game, Edward Usher. He's modeled on Egon Spengler, and his wardrobe is a not so subtle homage to what Vincent Price wore in the 1960 Roger Corman movie adaptation of The Fall of the House of Usher. Still working on getting his hair right though, especially that... floof in the front.
A Christmas Story
I was walking down the street yesterday when I noticed the guard across the way who minds my regularly frequented ATM. I greeted with a curt nod and he responded with a booming "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" To which I replied with an awkward "Er... Merry Christmas to you too!" also shouted across the street. A lady walking by heard us and without missing a beat blurted "And a Happy New Year!"It was sweet, perhaps you just had to be there.
Merry Christmas everyone :)
Been busy like a bee.
New art style for the game. It's easier for me to get more backgrounds done faster. Also think the color work is much better. The actual characters and interactive objects will be considerably brighter and I think they'll look kinda like cut paper.
New stuff!
Hello!

Because the color version Here:
Wasn't working out. I had experimented with colored lines but couldn't get it to work. In the end I stopped about half way through, I think I'm going to try a different approach to digital coloring and the game art in general. I need to be able to do two backgrounds a week at least in addition to work, and this won't let me move fast enough.

Excuse me, I arted.
Here's something I drew for a project I'm working on at the moment. It's supposed to be a whimsical video game follow up to The Fall of the House of Usher. Hopefully there'll be lots more concept art for this posted in the coming months.
And the finished product. I think it turned out okay, though the colors aren't as punchy or vibrant as I'd have liked. I think it starts to happen in the tree on the left, but never really takes off. I like my clouds and grass though.

Flat colors.

How awesome is this guy? So awesome.
I also found out my 50th post came on Barrack Obama Day. I'm special somehow!
I had a flying dream!
I'm not sure why I had it, but it's been years since my last one so it was very much welcome. I was coming home from school (!?) back home in Lagos, when a car full of kids pulled up in front of me, instead of going round the car I just sort of pushed off the ground into the air. It didn't last long, and my mum suddenly showed up and asked if I could do it again and I did. I suppose it was more of a floating dream than a flying dream.
That was breakfast yesterday. For the most part it was great except there was definitely something very wrong with the nectarine, which was a lot harder than I think it should have been and tasted like cardboard. I threw it out.

It begins... again.
So the debate was fairly boring. After what seems like an eternity (3 or 4 years I think), some new Trek stuff! Weird cus Shof and I were just talking about this the other day.
Chekov, Kirk, Scotty, Bones, Sulu and Uhura from left to right. *squeals!*
The new bridge of the USS Enterprise.
That is not the Enterprise, it's the USS Kelvin being blasted to bits. No, I've never heard of the Kelvin either.
Nero, the movie's good guy.
Kirk. Again.
Spock, explaining to Kirk that he doesn't like being made fun of.
