Pad Toons

So, back when I had roommates I would sometimes catalog our adventures via a very very Vault Boy influenced drawing which would become part of my screen savor.  It was easy, fun, and silly.  I am sure none of it makes any sense without the context of my (or the other persons of residence) memories ... but here they come to the land of internet anyway ... because I just feel like it.  I'll just upload a small smattering every now and again to avoid an overwhelming stream of these.

Past School Assignments (Part 1 - 2D Design )

So ... I wasn't going to do this but I decided what the heck ... why not?  Here are some of my collage

class assignments that I didn't overly dislike.  I have a couple others but they still need to be scanned so I'll throw them up later.

So these two drawings are very different.  The top one with the fat barbarian (I named him Quinn) was my final project and the blue-to-red line art one below was assignment #2 for the class and focused on perspective (The title of the drawing is "Wizard Gone Fishing").  There are actually some rather annoying mistakes in the second one but it is so busy you might not be able to notice.

Legend of Grimrock Portraits - Nox

So I recently bought Legend of Grimrock off of the Gog.com website ... excellent choice!  

I played on the early black and yellow DOS pc games as a child (Wheel of Fortune!) but watching my dad play Eye of the Beholder by Westwood Studios was when I understood Video = Awesomeness.  I greatly cherish the memories sitting on the floor, watching him pen out his own maps on that computer paper that zig-zagged which side you had to tear them on (I hated that).  Anyways, Westwood rocked my little kid world and will always hold a special place in my heart for that.  When I was in junior High School Nox came out, also by Westwood (right before Electronic Arts did them in, may they RIP) and it was, and is, one of my favorite games.

Coming back to Legend of Grimrock, it is basically an attractive ode to Eye of the Beholder - it is well done and quite fun.  To further the homage to Westwood I have taken most (if not quite all) of the NPC profile pictures from Nox and photoshoped them to work with Legend of Grimrock.

Maybe I'll upload the individual portrait files for other people to use later ... and .... Just did :)
