NEW HORIZON Update: Temporary Hiatus
It was somewhat of a short-ish time coming, but I haven't been able to work out as much of a backlog as I had hoped during this past semester of college. Unfortunately I'm gonna have to drop a hiatus ...

Pixel Art- NEW HORIZON Game Level Mockups
Here's a handful of level motif mockups, both from relatively early on in the game. One of the core ideas that...

2017-12-05 02:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostWeekly Friday Update (12/1/17) - Rated E for Everyone
Surprise! This WFU is open to all patrons. I figure I may as well considering that the last two game mockup posts were standard weekly updates, so it's only fitting that the same be said for this.

Keeping the ball rolling with a title screen. The downscaled logo is basically final, not much can really be done to improve upon it at this point. Basically all other elements are just sketches, thou...

A bit more fleshed out than last time. The character sprites have been shrunken down to better fit action and the resolution, and some actual tiles have been fixed up to make it look a bit more proper...

Here's some family members of the main cast (and by some, I mean "basically all but maybe one"). You can see where a lot of them get their defining traits!
Silhouetted is the one family member...

It's back! This mockup was originally laid out in 3D using Adobe Aftereffects. The ? and brick blocks are still in 3D from this layout, and all the generic terrain layout was drawn over. A lot of insp...

Weekly Friday Update (11/10/17) - New Super Lineup Bros.
Last time there was a full character lineup was last year! So here's a fresh take on the cast that I've made mostly public.

Obviously there's more than just five or six people inhabiting the world of NEW HORIZON. Here's a select few of them! I really enjoy designing NPCs. This particular batch is set based off of personal ...

Turns out this design ended up being final! Here's the lineart for #2's cover. The final cover will go up in a few weeks when #2 drops, so stay tuned!

Hey! Sorry for the lack of updates this past week, the cooldown from New York Comic Con's been somewhat rough and fairly long, surprisingly. Doesn't help that I've been in a creative rut, so not a lot...

Final lines are good to go- all that's left is color and shading. Comic Con got in the way of getting this done sooner, but it's the home stretch from here on out.

As the title suggests, this is the last update before New York Comic Con! Nothing special this year- but here's some cleaner lines for this. It's slowly coming together.
2017-10-07 01:03:00 +0000 UTC View PostWIP - Mario Mania (Update 3)
Getting some final lines in. Should hopefully be done with the lines by Wednesday, then after that it's time for final colors.

You may remember the print sketch I did about a week or two ago- and also how I said there was basically no composition. Now there is! And there's color, too! There's still some detail yet to be fille...
2017-09-30 01:02:00 +0000 UTC View PostSketch - Mario Mania (Refined)
Update on this piece. New colors and shading that make it a bit more digestible to look at, with a better focus on Mario and Luigi.

I've never really been much of a writer, and found that visual storytelling is much more my speed in terms of getting a point across. One of the exercises I had to do in a writing class was to write a...

Something from... give or take last year, it's some doodles I did of a potential Super Mario Bros. comic. It would mix the American canon of the brothers living in Brooklyn (or at least, the Mushroom ...

I've been meaning to do some kind of full NH poster piece for a while, but never really got a chance to get around to it. Now I did, and here's the sketch.
Right now it's pretty highly subject to ch...
