Option chosen: A commission for two characters with a simple background.
I remembered that I also have an instagram account (been lying dormant for a while) haha.

And lastly, Merry Christmas everyone!
We go back to the days when graphics are limited and we rely on good stories and gameplay to make a game enjoyable (well, not all but mostly).
Dogday This probably isn’t the best gameplay as it gets ridiculously hard (almost impossible without a walkthrough) but it featured several noteworthy features of the era. You can play an arcade game within the game and come on, who doesn’t like playing as a dog that scoops up soup for money? The dystopian and retro style graphics were also a fresh start.
Dragonriders: Chronicles of Pern This had potential to be a good game. Unfortunately, it doesn’t go any further. What stood out was the amount of interactions and how the character levels up a skill.
Anito: Defend a Land Enraged was definitely a great game although it was unfortunate that there was not much hype about it. The plot and storyline was its strong point and the depth of the main characters are enough to make you want to relate with them.
Who would’ve thought that this:
The Elder Scrolls: Arena
would eventually become this?
The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim
What would’ve happened if those games that had potential had soldiered on?
Dwelf
Started drawing again! My Inquisitor from Dragonage Inquisition. I played a dwarf and an elf, so I decided to combine them into one.
It is quite a nice game but it has annoying bugs here and there.
Anders
A practice sketch of Anders from Dragonage 2 done with pencil. I might be posting additional stuff today as I have not posted anything for the past week. Feeling somewhat rusty lol. I didn’t really like Anders in Dragonage 2. After merging with Justice, he has became too serious and grouchy.
I heard that Dragonage 3 will be out in late 2013 or early 2014 and chances are high that it will be an open-world game like Skyrim. It better be! (After seeing excessive recycled maps in Dragonage 2, I wasn’t impressed).
Zhao Yun
It is finished! Tested out a new painting style and decided I like it :b
Speed painted the background, finished it around 15 minutes but the character took much longer (I didn’t speed paint the character lol, took my own sweet sweet time).
Zhao Yun (Draft)
I had been playing Dynasty Warriors at my friend’s place yesterday and decided to draw Zhao Yun, the main character in the game.
Zhao Yun’s history: http://koei.wikia.com/wiki/Zhao_Yun
A coloured version coming soon.
Aribeth NWN (1hr 44mins Quick Sketch)
Crap internet is crap again. This is my one of my favourite characters from one of my favourite games, Aribeth from Neverwinter Nights. A quick sketch of 1hr and 44mins.
