BTW, this is my current game project: Vikings on Trampolines. Its a co-op/versus brawler where you're vikings, you fight on trampolines, and balloons are sentient and evil. Currently working on the 1-4 player Adventure mode.

What you're about to see does not exsist. It is not endorsed, licensed or under development.
I make game sequel mockups for fun, and after planning to do this for years, I finally convinced myself to bring this to life. Enjoy. #ChronoTrigger #ChronoCross

Everyone always depicts the memes the CDi-Zelda games have created, but it felt like an interesting challenge to depict them as actual characters. So here's a version of #Zelda from Wand of Gamelon. (Appreciate everyone dropping by the stream.)

After seeing the footage for the Link's Awakening remake, I started dotting down some pixels, realizing halfway that I've never actually made a Zelda mockup before.
So here's something small inspired by Awakening, the first game I ever bought. #ZELDALINKSAWAKENING

Power Quest / Gekitō Power Modeler remade
Been thinking about redoing this game for some time. I always felt the original never tried to emphasize that you're playing with toy robots. The dogs and cats in the park stage allowed me to give things a sense of proper scale #pixelart

Likely because of how infamous the games have become, it occured to me that I've never really seen him depicted as an actual villain. So here's a quick CD-I Ganon

2021 was a pretty busy year, but I still managed a few pixel mockups in between all the work. Art has a way of putting things back into perspective.

So here's Bullette.

Time for a new mockup!
I did some illustrations of a re-imagined #Sparkster / #RocketKnightAdventures, and I've now had some time to make a full mockup of what a potential sequel could look like, mixing elements from all the old games.
I always found its mechanics fascinating.

Another new enemy for #SavantAscent
These guys are shielded from regular attacks and require power shots to knock their shield off. They fire boomerang-chainsaws that get in the way of jumps. You're in trouble if you forget them in the chaos.

Looked at some of the updated #Megaman mockups I've done and started to wonder how it would look as an actual game. It's been a pretty interesting experiment so far. None of this exists of course...

So I just so happened to be messing around with with an old post-it note sketch, painting over it. Then I catch news that the same character just got a revival.
So here's Akira #StreetFighterV #RivalSchools

Next part in the explorer series is done! Was nice to just mess with shapes and light to contrast the look of the animation-cells.

Wanted to expand my old Breath of Fire 7 idea mockup from 2014 from SD to widescreen. Had had an old design for a masked, Woren sniper I could add. Carries a changable rifle far larger than she is.

Hey, I'm back! Been working on a little something.
Was time to properly showcase some of the things I've built for the #MegamanDOS experiments I've done. Keep in mind, this is not licensed or under development. Its is purely for fun. Enjoy! #Megaman

I realized its the 20th anniversary of Cave Story (Doukutsu Monogatari) so 15 years after I made the illustration for the Wiiware release, I've decided to redraw it. Could finally update some elements that didn't have a consistent design back then.
Something I don't think anyone's seen before: One of my earliest jobs was creating this official art for Cave Story (Doukutsu Monogatari) on WiiWare back in 2009.
Since the internal team performed edits after I submitted it, no one has ever seen the original, unedited version

I had an image in my head. A scene of twisting roots and stone from an animated movie that never existed.

This is not a game under development, nor is it intended to be. It is unassociated with the lisence holder and is made purely for fun.
This mostly happened by accident. I was updating some old mockups from 2014, and now the Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers Remaster Concept exists

So that doodle I made ended up becoming a full weekend project and now this poster exists. Started out mirroring Bengus which became then turned into a full on Marvel VS Capcom art piece. Might try this look again sometime. I enjoyed it! #MvC

An old mockup for a fictional Chip & Dale 3 game. Still like how this came out. based some of the palette from the NES original, and studied backgrounds from the show to make sure it looked authentic. #rescuerangers #pixelart

It should be worth pointing out: This series has had an absolutely absurd impact on the art community, to the point where neither me or my circles have even really played them and will still list them as inspirations.
I'm certainly feeling the itch to make some art now
Gonna take you for a ride back to the arcades with MARVEL vs. CAPCOM Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics! 7 legendary games, one Super Heroic collection, coming to Nintendo Switch, PS4, and Steam in 2024.

Been a while since I did a mockup.
While I don't really have a connection to the games, I had a weird urge to redo the first stage from Alex Kidd. So I did. I did kind of like how you would drop from the cliffside into a water-level, so I made it so you could see the transition.

I never made the bosses for the #MegamanX hobby-project I did 13 years ago. I aimed for a look somewhere between X3-X4. Crane, Hermit-Crab, Giraffe, Porcupine and Angler are newer. Mosquito, Fox and Possum were based on 25 year old sketches. Nice to pixel something for fun again.

Terranigma remade. The game has been on my mind a bit lately. The underground tower scene always stood out to me, so I wanted recapture it. Ark's design was somewhat inconsistent to his artwork, so I've given it a minor tweak to be somewhere in-between. Fun to do mockups again!

Looking back, I made quite a lot of Capcom art in 2019. Guess it's been a kind of go-to when I just want to relax with some after-work painting. Hoping to allow for more personal work in the new year.

To those that have been asking why I haven't drawn Shredder, its because I already have for a previous project. I'm not planning more Turtles art at the moment.

A concept mockup I did for a The CheetahMen remake. I always enjoy taking flawed concepts and seeing what could be improved.
The original stages lend themselves well to a Beat-Em-Up structure, and it was fun to figure out what the area was meant to look like. #pixelart

Had a thought:
MVC had characters from all of Capcom's games. Which means there's a universe where you could play The Noid, from Yo! Noid, published by Capcom on the NES in 1990.
