Brawny-Butch

Well, it's not an official goodbye.
And it has been a really long time since I've last visited these pages. I've been really busy and things have been out of balance.
Currently, I've been working heavily on myself and my life in general, a lot of past stuff getting in the way, new things happening, it's kind of personal.
I've been working on my resume, jobs, and where I am right now in my life. I am 28 years old and making the transition into the professional world whilst my personal world has been invading and getting in the way.
I wish everyone well and hope life continues to be successful. Thanks.

I'm done with this account and moving onto a new account which can be found at:



It's not that I'm going away, but it's time for a change, newer and better, updated a bit more (what sort of user name was I thinking???).

We shall meet again into greater depths of the unconscious mind soon!

Whoah, deviantART has really changed since I've last been on. I'm impressed...
But anyway, to make a long story short, I've been busy with my part time job that became full time, so I'm working on getting my own place soon.  Becoming a well known illustrator will always be the dream, but we all have to deal with reality.

Well, I've been pretty busy recently, doing some art and actually some game production which I thought I might share, it's deviantART so why not!

The game I'm making is a retro SNES-style game (excuse the nerd language) made with RPGM2003.  The idea of it so far is that there's three normal people (I'm thinking of a fourth character) lost inside of a dream but they're all not aware of it, and they must "wake" themselves to realize that they all are dreaming. The game's so far includes two stages; The Forest of Dreams and the Temple of the Dead. I don't want to blurt out too many details but the gameplay is like FF6, time system.  

So far the characters are a warrior named Brian, a mysterious woman named Gina (with magic powers), and a spunky thief named Nero.  I'm trying to make a weird-surreal kind of atmosphere (being inspired story wise by David Lynch) for the most of the development.  Sorry, but I'm not making demos, because I truly hate demos! Once I finish it I want to post it somewhere. Well, if I finish it, I'm trying to make it the best thing I ever made, just like an art piece!

I'm also working on artwork for the portfolio.  I'm going to make a couple serials, 3 pieces on  3 or 4 old childrens book stories, three of them so far; the Wizard of Oz, Little Red Riding Hood, sounds corny but The Little Mermaid.  Making them interesting by using a new technique where I'm drawing all in graphite pencils and painting them in Adobe, trying to make a blend of my traditional skills and my digital skills to make artwork where you can't tell how it's done, and it still looks good, and very expressionistic, stylized, and a retro-cartoon look. It'll take a while, but it will be worth it.

Another long time since I've been on dA...well nothing much has changed, finished college and now looking for an actual job...real world, augh!  Otherwise I's a free man (cue Free Bird), so looks like this summer is going to be packed with work, artwork, and life.
