Creative since late 1987, never specialised. Co-creator; Armalyte, Ruff n Tumble & more; 3d+pixels, music, & design. Current dev: Armalyte Ultra. I also paint.
@JohnHen65953721@Il_Paradroide Despite being a big Les Edwards fan, I thought the pandering to the overseas audience and the subsequent “Conan” rebrand was awful and made a fairly unique tale (for early ‘90s) of an everyday kid battling myths and legends into a forgettable sack of cliches
@JohnHen65953721@Il_Paradroide On “The Horned God”. The next months were a slog tying up loose ends, meddling, and filling in gaps. Dokk did more characters like Thor and Odin. The whole thing was a typical Sys3 mishmash not a fun experience for anyone but my first foray into 16bit and led to Ruff n Tumble
@GurneyJourney You just popped up in my feed and I felt obliged to mention that I read Colour and Light recently and thought it was one of the best instructional books on art I have ever read. I recommend it strongly. Thank you
@rwxdesigns@timecaptales Not a storyboard, it isn’t concept art either— it’s a matte painting; acrylic on glass with areas left transparent for action to show through.
You can see the spaces on the hanger and landing pad shots.
There are plenty of books on the subject and the docu-series on Disney
WTF is TGJones?! Good god; a worse rebrand than Zavvi. There was a time when Smiths supplied my art gear, games, mags, books, music, et-fucking-cetera. End of an era.
For a commission representing computer mags, I dug into the experience of browsing the shelves at Smiths for this
@ScarredForLife2 I started getting the prog soon as I could buy it myself (end of the Apocalypse War), read a friend’s copy of this shortly afterwards. This was absolute nightmare fuel, needless to say I had to own my own copy.
1978 has some grim imagery but nothing as relentlessly bleak as this
I love old ruins and it's nice to start some painting again. This is part of Kenilworth Castle. My visit is bound to inform some future pixelling too.
