Finally I've updated something--started working for Mojo Game Studios as a Concept Artist and I've been really busy!! :D We're working on an epic game called <i>Aderyn's Cradle</i>, an open-world fantasy adventure game coming to the PC. It's amazing. Check it out here: <a href="http://mojogamestudios.com/">mojogamestudios.com</a> </div>

Phew, haven't gotten to paint in a while!! I enjoyed doing these a lot, and on top of that I've improved SO much in the last few months comparing them to old thumb batches, so that's awesome! Very happy with these and can't wait to do more, and see which one turns into a painting! :)</div>

Been working really hard on my concept and design skills. Developing assets, styles and functionalities for specifics from my painting, "Mecca" (bottom). Has been a really challenging project but I have learned a hell of a lot, not the least of which that I enjoy this type of thing and never thought I did before. Learning all the time. :)</div>

Can you tell I've been paying attention to Pascal Campion? ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Decided to take some advice from him and just try to paint a beautiful experience, and not care about how it looks for once. Very freeing :) Imitating his style here was very interesting and I learned a lot about his thought process just from a quick sketch. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is reminiscent of a trip to Ellicott City I had a few weeks ago. 30 mins</div>
