Delighted to hear @shutupshow.bsky.social reminisce about Amalur's "beautiful neon fantasy colors"! Always a pleasure to hear it fondly remembered.

More in this series. Having so much fun drawing these. I need to coin a new phrase - “bio-architectural” seems too long and unwieldy. Something like that - I’ll workshop it. 🤔
The campaign is still going strong but we need your support so we can grow the IP and make lots more Gateway games!!!

Butterflies!
I’ll see what I can do! 😁
Thank you! I’m thinking about doing some of these on big canvases - hopefully accentuating that scale even more!
Thanks!
Since just after graduating SU, near as I can figure - the first seeds of the idea at least. I haven’t decided how Gateway-adjacent these images are - may offer a window into some sort of dark future or past though…. For now just a visual exploration.
More weirdness.

Some new creepy things.
The Hill of a Thousand Spires from @brandonsanderson.com’s Mistborn novel. A Rare bit of “fan art” from a few years back. Excited to hear about the deal with Apple. Apple, I’m available for concept art work, lol! 😉🤷🏻♂️
Love it all!!
Navigating a behemoth through an unexpected u-turn on the streets of Gateway.
Books, movies, travel, history, museums, art, coffee…. All the usual places like anyone else - I think the key is to not be afraid to lean in to the weird stuff that people may not immediately recognize - I’m just having fun making toys for myself to play with. 🤷🏻♂️
Thank you! Perhaps surprisingly, my dreams tend to be fairly dull and pedestrian, like forgetting to pay my taxes or failing a surprise math test at the DMV. These drawings are actually my day-dreams… 😁
Thank you!
Oil change waiting room sketch time.
Thank you!
I’m afraid it is… 😬
Much appreciated!
Alvin Draft-matic - they are the best. It’s the only thing I use.

Positively Stygian nightmare fuel. Where am I? Who am I? WHEN am I?!? 😱
Thanks!!
Thank you!
