Dane lives alone. He seldom smiles, talks little, and trusts even less.

Animation

Been too lazy to update this blog, but I couldn't get Gifs to work on facebook so here it is.

Was really inspired after talking to one of my favorite 2D animators of all time so I want to try and make some sprite animations for my DnD character.

Update: refined versions.  Bottom version has 2 added frames per friend's suggestion.

Character sketches

The plus side of a long commute is I have time to think stuff out when sufficiently high on coffee.  Here are some character sketches... maybe I'll be able to get a move on making my own game after all.  One can hope...

Fish Shop of Happiness (Colored)

Fish!

Marra Character Sheet

Finished with the character sheet.  Moving on!

Marra WIP

Marra cell-shaded, rest of character sheet masked in.

Meet Marra, plus some studies

 Finally got around to doing another character sheet.  Meet Marra, the confident rune-warrior with a stubborn streak.  She has the face of an angel but fights like a demon in bloodlust.

Some studies from photo.  Trying to focus on structures, as well as trying to add some of my own idealism into these figures.

Blue Warrior WIP

lunch doodle.

Yup, I'm a lot more comfortable with photoshop than pencil at the moment... Not sure what happened along the line, it used to be the exact opposite.

Sett Palace Guard A sketch

Quick sketch today.

Lanthian Priest Colored

Could not resist coloring this guy.


Holy priest of light. Part of his duty is to patrol around his temple at night to bring light and peace. The blade he holds is ceremonial, a ward against the evils in the shadow.

Lanthian Priest

A true believer in light, the high priest almost starves himself to purify his spirit.

Sett Archer sketch

Same universe, different culture.  I'm not quite sure where this one's going to go yet.  Hopefully I'll figure things out at some point.

Astra Trader Sketch

I loved writing fantasy stories in high school, and some of the stories evolved to hint at a larger fantasy world.  I hope to make a game out of this world at some point, but I thought I should begin doing sketches now rather than waiting for myself to learn scripting... which in theory would happen once I feel happy about my art skills... which may never actually happen :P

The world's populated by humans of different racial and cultural groups, rather than high fantasy humanoid races like elves or dwarves.  The people of Astra is kind of like real-life Gypsies.  They roam about solo or in groups as traders, seers, or mercenaries.  There are no known Astra settlements or kingdoms on any map. Adding to the mystery and taboo is their ability to work strange, voodoo-like spells that do not belong in any officially recognized school of magic.
