It’s July, and I’m having a very creative summer so far. I actually finished putting together the 100 Girl Art Book, officially titled R.P.B. (which stands for Random Practice Babes), cover and all. I’ve submitted the files to Ka-Blam, a printing company, and as far as I know, there aren’t any problems. I could put…

Non- (or minimal) art related posts will show up here. I may talk about video games, movies, or other general subjects.
Mid June 2017 Art Update
I’ve been busy making art! Not only is my 100 Random Practice Babe art book/100 somethings challenge nearing the end, I’ve also done some commissions as well. First up: some illustrations I’ve done for a coworker. She wanted some ‘toon’ likenesses of models for her upcoming book covers. I also completed a…
Number 66 Done
Having completed the 66th girl for my 100 Girl Art Book project, I felt it important to remind myself why I am doing this and what direction it’s going in. What is the point of the 100 Girl Book? What is it for? Why am I doing it? To produce a tangible product to sell…
Short Game Review: Curses N’ Chaos
Curses ‘N Chaos is a 2D wave-based brawler in which you control one of three characters (the third has to be unlocked) and beat up monsters. It has platformer mechanics (X and Y axis movement, double jumping), but there is no platforming. All you do is fight enemies and bosses with your fists, your feet…
About Ghost in the Shell…
Just my opinions here… I’m silent about ScarJo playing the Major in the GITS movie. I haven’t seen the movie. And to be perfectly honest, I do not believe the movie would have done well even if it did have an Asian-American lead (which is all the more reason it should have, honestly, but I…
Been busy with Rendr
I’ve been drawing a lot of traditional art lately, energized by getting my hands on a Crescent Rendr sketchbook. It’s a pricey but high quality sketchbook whose claim to fame is the bleedproof paper, resistant to pretty much any media. I’ve been trying to find paper that made me enjoy drawing with pencil again, having…
Thinking of doing random game reviews
I don’t generally play what everyone else is playing. Sure, I get my hands on the occasional AAA game (and often find myself bored with them, as I did with The Witcher 3, Fallout 4 and Final Fantasy XV), but I spend more time playing (and getting engrossed with) lesser-known games that often don’t get…
February Update
Sorry it’s been a while since I’ve posted. I’ve been hit with a wave of indecision again. My wife feels I need to complete something, get a quick win, focus on the ‘lowest hanging fruit’ so I can have that feeling of having completed a project again. And I’m inclined to agree. It’s easy for…
My Sprite Making Method in a Nutshell
I’ve been getting some questions and interest in how I go about making my sprites for my games. I’m no fan of pixel art or hand-drawn animation. I respect those who are good at it, but I like to focus on more efficient methods, since I have no choice but to do all the work…
Jet Dancer Game Development
(Those who follow me on Facebook have seen/read this already, but I’m putting it here for those who may not have seen it elsewhere.) I’ve been working hard on my Jet Dancer game. I had to deconstruct a lot of it and put it back together in order to make it less messy. I wanted…
