  2. So I’m not actually in the Famicase exhibition because I just found out about it and it’s past the deadline; however, I decided to make a mock Famicom cover anyway because it’s a fun idea :) ( Hopefully that’s not super weird )
    This is my mock famicom cartridge cover for a fake game called Pico Dream. 
I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t be able to print this because it has gradations, but it was still fun to make.

  3. I don’t play Pokémon really, but I saw one of the new starter Pokémon was called Sobble and is a water Pokémon that uses a crying attack (I think?) So here’s what Sobble evolves into. I imagine it sounds like Wheezing I don’t play Pokémon really, but I saw one of the new starter Pokémon was called Sobble and is a water Pokémon that uses a crying attack (I think?)

    My friend and I are working on a game concept together because we both want to learn how to make games. He wants to learn to program and I want to learn how to make the art. This is a concept painting from today. The game is meant to be a simple exploration game. Should be fun!

  13. A couple of friends are putting together a zine dedicated to games made by Rare. This is a cropped image of a tribute piece to Banjo Kazooie.

    The zine should be coming out soon!

  15. A set of concept art for an untitled rpg game that I have been working on. You are a wizards apprentice that has been transported to a spirit realm after looking into the eyes of a mysterious black cat. Your immediate task is to figure out where you are and how to get home; however, your appearance in this world seems to be no mere coincidence.

    The game would be heavy on character interaction so the following images feature small dialogue sets from characters in the game. Originally I thought of the game as being top down, but it felt more natural to turn it into a sidescroller. There are three images featuring a top down perspective, and four that are set as a sidescroller.

    I should stress that this is more of a passion project than anything else. The game is not currently in development.
