Wolf Slayer timelapse video
May 13th, 2010
The Humble Indie Bundle inspired me to do an image based on our game Lugaru, and I took some notes about the process of creating this image. It took me a few hours to draw and color, which is a long time compared to a lot of the pieces I have done, but I am pretty happy with the results ...
Rat Nests
May 3rd, 2010
The rats living in the great desert favor their traditional dwellings of mud and grass, which they build following the short rainy season.

To combat these problems I started trying out some new techniques for buildings. Here are some of ...
