Chantal and Benny-boo mixing up something beneath the distillery. A little absinthe perhaps? #vn #vndevs #gameart #kineticnovel #indiedev #visualnovel #indiegames

I don’t know what it is about this picture, but I just love it. Hate that this scungy, handsome, gilded place card didn’t make it into the demo, so I’ll just show him off here 💋😘 #visualnovel #indiedev #gamedev

Bonus points for a layer with a single flick of colour on it. #VisualNovel #VN #RenPy #SoloDev #GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGame

After a sad little ferreting away of myself, I’ve finally emerged. New art direction for Canary: 1900s photos grunged up beautifully and remaining slightly gothic. The demo goes live on itch tonight 🕯️ #visualnovel #indiedev #gamedev #renpy

Starting to understand the photoshop round brush hype. Kind of keeps the painterly style, but still readable for a sprite 🤔 #art #characterdesign #visualnovel #vndev #solodev #indiedev #sketch

Because you can can-can💋 #illustration #digitalart #visualnovel #GameArt #indiedev

This mornings quick warm up. Working hard toward capturing that painterly feel for the Sprite art coming up. #illustration #digitalart #visualnovel #GameArt #indiedev

A lil referencing for my art tonight I thought. Help. I'm knee deep in files of dead Parisian photographers, Charleston music playing, imaginary beret tilted, imaginary cigarette hanging off my lip, ready to be vaguely disappointed by Monaco #illustration #digitalart #visualnovel #GameArt #indiedev

Quick lil bg render #illustration #digitalart #art #GameArt #indiedev

Making the backgrounds, the colours that keep coming up are dark wines, bruised jewel tones. Anything else seems too dark and wrong. #vn #vndevs #gameart #kineticnovel #indiedev #visualnovel #indiegames

Progress before bed

New art: Cabaret backstage, where the real shit goes down 💋 #vndev #indiegame #gameart #photobash

Indie game dev is when you, through sheer force of will and massive commitment of time and energy, create an incredible never before seen interactive experience from nothing..... so you can have like five people play it and be like "yeah that was pretty good" You're damn right it was

Today's artist without a known birthday: Francesco del Cossa of Ferrara. Here, an Annunciation, w/ incredibly complex spaces, and with snail, 1470.
