I haven’t done pixel art in a while. So.. here we go. I painted this in Hexels 2.0 as it is very good for any grid or blocky artwork. It’s fantastic for pixel art.

Garchomp Trainer with Mega Garchomp
A garchomp trainer with his mega garchomp that he is training to be the very best that ever was. (Mind Blown.. not really) The trainer (who is a odd combination of human and garchomp) is named Chip. The trainee is named DurthMetal890 and his EVs are not even maxed. I was painting with dried brushes to give it a more ‘non digital’ look. Also garchomp because I haven’t typed garchomp in this description enough. This is a strange picture and I have no clue why I painted it but there is probability a pun hidden somewhere. Garchomp.
The Prince of the Cosmos – Katamari Damacy (Character Final)
The final character drawing I did for the CTNX portfolio. It is of the Prince in my own style. I’m a big fan of the Katamari Damacy games.
QuickHorror Key Art
Here is the key art that I did for QuickHorror. It will be used at a promotional image for the beta/prototype distribution. I want to give a dark feel. I really wanted to paint the entire monster in the painting but then it take some mystery out of the game. The monster in the game is rendered in a way that you cant get a clear shot of it. I will release a trailer tomorrow, and a press release on Wednesday.
I’m hoping I can upload the game to IndieDB, GameJolt, an another indie game server tonight. It will only have the procedural generated levels but that alone should give a player hours of game play. If enough people like the game, I will Kickstart it. I’m excited and terrified. I’ve never promoted my games before.
I will return next week, some concept sketches, and dragon.
Above is some concept sketch for a character I was going to put in Project Night but later went a different direction. And a random dragon sketch.
It’s been a hellish past 2 months with friends and family moving away, surgery on my nose so I could breathe, loss of a contract, and other things, however, I will be back to posting artwork starting tomorrow. The break has brought some clarity regarding my art. I’m still working on Project Night, and after working on it off and on for 5 months, the prototype is almost complete.
Things I will be doing:
Tomorrow I will be uploading videos on my progress on Project Night.
Simplifying the menus on this site. Adding my 2 demo reels.
I will be working on a new comic/animation project after I finish the prototype. I’m conflicted between 2 ideas and having trouble deciding which one to move forward with. I miss having a project like this. I had some success with Alex and Cruz, so I’m hoping to take what I learned from it and keep moving forward.
Soon will be starting another blog dragondean.wordpress.com that will have more than just art related postings and will talk about my other interests such as video games, programming, my photos, the songs I wrote, cool things that I found, and other misc stuff. Maugryph.com will still be where I post my artwork for now. I plan to post only once or twice a week on DragonDean but with more lengthy writing.
A Chip Izard blog for my music is coming soon as well as a YouTube channel that you can listen to.
Next week I will be making a very small game within 24 hours, just to see if I can.
Pea Shooter (D43)
A little fan art for the release of Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare 2. This is the Pea Shooter. He dislikes zombies.
Chiprom meets a Rock Goddess(D35)
…and due to social awkwardness, he ran way in terror. You not going to be the ‘The Very Best, Like No One Ever Was‘ TM with that attitude , Chiprom!
This drawing started out as a simple sketch of a woman playing guitar and then Chiprom just happened. and now totodile is judging.. always judging
