Here's a little look behind the process of this piece I posted a little while back.

I'm experimenting with how to showcase these best in a vertical format, haha, so there will be a bit of a learning curve :)

【Wilcock the Eager was just one of the knights who had gathered from across the land to join King Thranil's camgaign.】

Another quick spitpainting for fun! You can see the random shapes I started with in the second image.

【Sky villages, living among the clouds.】

One of my quick daily spitpaints that I took from blobby shapes to this slightly less blobby thumbnail. Let me know if you'd like to see the process!

This is the last of three rough concepts I made for a roadtrip scene in Nexus Studio's "This Tapedeck is a Timemachine" short a while back. This version was the closest to the original idea.

Another promotion image! Each one seems to reach new people, so apologies if you've seen all of them so far.

This is another rough concept I made for a roadtrip scene in Nexus Studio's "This Tapedeck is a Timemachine" short quite a while back! We needed some ideas for views the camera would see out the back, side, and front.

This is rough concept I made for Nexus' "This Tapedeck is a Timemachine" short a while back. The characters are on a roadtrip for this scene, and I was excited when we went with this option for the final, as it was inspired by many drives through redwood forests growing up.

I’ll likely delete this post in a week or so, so my feed isn’t just filled with these, but seriously thank you to everyone who has already shared, reached out with interest, or signed up!

This is a concept I did while art directing on a project with Nexus Studios for South Western Rail. A lovely view of the sleepy countryside on a morning trainride.
