Sorry for silence, mostly doodling concept art for a different idea.

Scattered concepts of an underwater setting focusing on a type of seashell home that squid folk live in, also showing shrimp foo and a TV

Scene of a Starian (squid-like creature) sleeping on a large pillow, next to an empty one, in the center room of their seashell home. It's lit by a lavalamp, includes a small chest, tv, and coral plant on the floor. There are posters on the wall, one depicting their flag, another featuring some army recruitment poster covered by another one depicting their current leader (Darkstar 56th) in a cutesy manner. A shelf display contains a radio, books, alarm clock, closed shell, a plushie of their leader, and a medal based on the Gold Star Lapel Button.

In the hallway leading out is a podium with a soldier's helmet with a hole in it, and a framed picture of another Starian with a mourning ribbon over it.

Various rough thumbnail sketches practicing perspective/composition, attempting to depict scenes of the underwater planet Darkstar. They're not meant to be clean enough to make out, some of them include a scene of Starians talking next to an underwater minefield, a swimming highway made of floating rings with surveillance drones next to them, a marketplace, and a mass grave site.

Concept draws of a floating mine, a floating memorial grave for a Starian, and an underwater surveillance drone.

Imagine how Batman feels

Cleave@inkdragonworks· May 27

Actually he is one of the cuter ones, he gets a pass

It’s funny how big indie cartoons will make 2-3 new merch items as soon as one of the characters puts on a new outfit.

Cleave@inkdragonworks· May 27

Another batch of enemy concept sketches for Poppin & Jupa, for various areas.

Top row: Launzard (river caves), Lizword (deep caves), Galvanari (sewers), Clean Shot (factory)
Bottom row: Hoppinstop (clock world), Lead Head (sewers), Squeedge (factory)

Cleave@inkdragonworks· May 11

Someone wanted to see Poppin confessing to Jupa so here's that

Cleave@inkdragonworks· May 2

People always omit the last bit. Part of horror is the imagination that certain places illicit, part of what makes those "liminal" spaces creepy, by being empty when they're normally filled, is the prospect that you could still encounter something without the sense of security a crowd may bring. 1/3

Cleave@inkdragonworks· Apr 30

makes sense to me but the idea of Macky drawn as AVGN here made me laugh

Cleave@inkdragonworks· Apr 24

Pics from Poppin & Jupa's "Dressember" a while back that I liked

Fairy concept sketches for Poppin & Jupa's setting.

I've drawn Mock a few times before, but here's a formal character reference of him. As a quick disclaimer: Mock is *not* present in Pocket Adventure, but is planned for a larger story/sequel. He's a pretty important, complex fella and just didn't fit in the current game's story.

Character reference, depicting expressions, turnaround, and size comparison to the protagonists Poppin & Jupa. Text box reads the following:

"Mock is a pterodactyl jester sorcerer. He was born thousands of years ago, but has only been active and aging for about 30 years cumulatively.

He is egotistical, snooty, arrogant, and childish. While he can be cunning and possesses a wealth of mystical knowledge matching his capabilities, his schemes are often undercut by pettiness, pride, or a need for attention.

Mock suffers a God Complex, planning to rule and reshape the world in his image, and attempts to find a viable magical energy source to do so."

Additional reference of Mock using his magical rod to create a Barboyle (a winged, mono-eye creature) from the mud of a forest, followed a pair of Barboyles attacking Poppin & Jupa. Mock is flying above them while transformed into a Skrorck (blue crow creature). Another image depicts Mock disguised as Poppin's hat.

Text to the right reads:

"Mock casts spells using the Fairy Rod, a rod powered by the captive spirits of... well, take a guess.

His spells primarily focus on crafting monsters from the surroundings, and temporary transformations (usually on himself)."

Poppin & Jupa: Pocket Adventure is set on a mountain, with a city of goat folk (called Ibbix) inhabiting the peak. Here's what the founders of the city 200 years ago looked like! I had to draw them for a museum area you can visit.

Baseball minigame I started on last month for Poppin & Jupa, inspired by the one from Wario Land 4. Jupa doesn't seem all that impressed... #indiedev #GameMaker #screenshotsaturday

One of the biggest sources of imagination for me growing up were game maps. Both world maps used in game or the screenshot layouts in magazines. I would think about what kinda levels you’d come across or how gameplay might play out. Another were robot masters from megaman and their “themes”.

Work from last month (this month has not been good), of a small board game sequence being planned. Poppin & Jupa have to reach 4 candles on a track, most spaces requiring a mini-game. Something will chase them. #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart #GameMaker #screenshotsaturday
