The Raven’s Dojo Kickstarter still needs help! I even made sprites of the strip’s stars, Rodney and Dornail, to help get the word out. Okay, I’ve wanted to make sprites of these two for a long while now, but this seemed like the right time to do it. If you want to know how serious […]

Sorry, no goofy title for this update. Sprites of the Space Invader (from the old cabinet art) and Flashgal, possibly Sega’s most obscure heroine, now have gallery pages. The Invader and Flashgal have work progress animations to show bits of my working on them. The Flashgal sprites are the improved versions I uploaded in yesterday’s […]

I drew a quick pic of the Golden Gobblette, my Thanksgiving mascot, and put a hastily-written version of her origin in the text section. I changed her design again and this is the version that I’ll probably stick with for now own. I say that a lot, so we’ll see how that works out next […]

So I teased a while back that I’m working on a second old-school video game update for ScrollBoss that will hit this month. These improved Pac-Man sprites (click the small pic or this link to see both sprites on gallery page) are a teaser for what you’ll see in that update. While some of you […]

There are still sprites from ScrollBoss’ Avengers update that haven’t been posted, so I started a “Marvel Villains” gallery page with the Loki and Mandarin sprites. I also added a sprite of Princess Python that was made this weekend and posted on the Scruffy Dragon message board.

I still feel like I got ran over by a Mack Truck factory, so I have one thing to show for this 8th anniversary day: a sprite of the Ice Cream Man. It’s been a while since I’ve been able to work on my own characters, so it felt really good to make this sprite. […]

There’s a lot of lost time to make up for, so let’s pick up where we left off. The last time I was here, I was posting sprites from the 12th anniversary of ScrollBoss and this update finishes that up. Samus Aran from Metroid, Tyris Flare from Golden Axe, skeletons from Golden Axe and some […]

(updated 2012/08/23) I’m currently working on the line cleaning for the last of the 100 pages I drew for the current commission project and it looks like I’ll be working on another 100 pages right after that. There probably won’t be time for updates with new material for yet another month, but at least it’s […]

First, the 12th Anniversary ScrollBoss update hit this Thursday, even if the hands of fate and timing of extra day job hours conspired against it. New scratch-made sprites based on well-known games like Metroid, Double Dragon and Contra stand side-by-side with lesser-known gems like Konami’s Crime Fighters 2. Check them out in the Custom Sprite […]

First of all, I’d like to thank everyone who put the All-AmeriCon together and all the people who came out to enjoy it. The event keeps getting bigger and better each year as the word gets out about how much fun it is. There were even some cosplayers this year and that’s when you know […]
