VS teaser ink timelapse + PSD file

Here's just the inking process from the teaser in Procreate. Color  correction, text, effects were done in photoshop. Files are attached!

mechanic

The ever wonderful Claire "shoomlah" Hummel shared a technique she does with her sketches and I wanted to try it out on this sketch. Style looks a little different here but I'm like, fuck style, its about expression! Original pencil sketch and inspo of 90s Jenny Shimizu photos follow.

out climbing

Some more older work. Tried out a new brush set in Infinite paint. I think I like the sketch more than the finished version. 

VλNCE SUBPRIME sketch

first exclusive sketch/wip for VλNCE SUBPRIME. But what for? You'll see :)

Hacker girl and her pet robot

wanted to try my hand at dog since i have a fear of drawing highly mechanical things. the following was the original idea/sketch!

just some comfort sex post ambush at the White Forest Inn

What's VλNCE SUBPRIME about, then?

I keep going in about this mysterious comic I'm working on but we haven't said what it is. We're not saying. Not yet, anyway. However:  

- It's set after ALYX, before HL2. 

- It covers one night in Alyx's life. Sort of. 

- There will be a new character. 

- The past is not dead.

Valkyrie ready for burn!!

Valk from Apex Legends! I fell in love with her immediately and is my new main (sorry, Wraith). Playing any other character was actually sort of difficult bc I relied on her jet pack to get around so much. Don't worry, I'm doing better. 

I really like the way this came out, I just took it really casually with the r...

here comes the spice

If you're seeing this post thinking you only signed up for VORTAL BOND stuff, I just decided to include nsfw art into the VORTAL BOND tier, which is now renamed to Spicy tier. I hope thats alright!

It seems i can only get myself to do nsfw art of alyx/hl stuff. HL is obviously a thing I am very much into. I just love Al...

BOREAL ALYPH: ALYX CONCEPT ART

Here's the concept art i did for Alyx for the Boreal Alyph mod, an adaption of Marc Laidlaw's Epistle 3. I've said before how grateful I was to get this opportunity and, despite the mod being cancelled, i'm still just as grateful. i had a lot of fun working on these and i was just equally if not more excited to see her in-gam...

Beta Eli and Alyx

based on a twitter request! that early 2000s cool aesthetic

Alyx & Olga

not a lot of olga fan art out there, understandably so. i thought of this as a pre-HLA interaction between the two of them. Maybe Olga notices Alyx's multi-tool and is just super impressed by it!

young alyx

i remember doing this when i was super sad one time.. so i thought drawing young alyx doing a roundhouse kick would make me feel better, and it did.

hev

an oldie but a goodie i still kinda like!

Humanoid GLaDOS sketch

I'll be beginning to post the backlog of my work then get up to more recent stuff. Here's a little study I did for the Still Alive Portal 2 zine.

VS wallpapers

made some wallpaper friendly versions of the teaser image! They're attached w/ respective resolutions. If a resolution you want isn't there, tell me in the comments and I'll see what I can do!

EDIT: Added a 4K version!

LOCO-MOTIVE Cover art process

Maarten and I worked closely on the pose for the cover. I love to do this as it gets the most feedback and ensures he's happy with what he's going to get. 

We went through a few different poses until Maarten sent me a drawing he made (third image). I love when commissioners do this. It really helps with the process...

LOCO-MOTIVE HL:A Workshop cover

I was commissioned by Maarten "marnamai" Frooninckx to do the cover art for his new HLA map. I not gonna spoil the story, so if you can, go and play it! This one was fun to do. Maarten wanted something in the style of my Boreal Alyph Alyx concept and i was happy to do so. I still love that painting and the project that once w...

VλNCE SUBPRIME teaser and logo process

Process post!

So we haven't shown anything after announcing the comic so i wanted to make something that'll get people excited. Alyx with her hood up is going to be look throughout the comic.

 It all starts with a pencil sketch, then thrown into photoshop with the logo I made with my minimal graphic design ex...

VλNCE SUBPRIME Teaser

I guess this is my first official post with content. Here's the teaser image I made for the one-shot comic Ross J. Gardner of "A Place in the West" and I are making!  We're so excited to be working on this and we can't wait to share it. 

Welcome!!!
