amAZinG!

So my White Paper Games boys have released Ether-One.

Not a surprise but a warm smug git type of feeling.

Amazing!

I am very proud.

The game is getting some amazing reviews and I am told that PC Gamer will be having a two page spread and the boys have secured a spot at the Gadget Show Live!

Amazing!

There is other amazing stuff too - but I dont know how secret so best not blabber it all out!

The game is available direct from the Ether website, from Gamers Gate,  on Steam, gog.com and the Humble Store – and – if you buy the amazing deluxe version you also get the amazing Ether One soundtrack by the amazing NJ Apostle (also available on Bandcamp), an amazing comic ‘The Strange Tale of Byron Spencer’ by another one of my boys Mark Penman and Andrew Tunney plus.. a six page comic thingy titled ‘Nominal Dysphasia’ that I did! Here’s one of the pages to give you a flavour;

 Well done Chaps!

Today’s episode is brought to you by the word ‘Amazing’ and by the letters W P & G

So it would seem, some google magic pixie has been at work!
I got a notification that Dave (the painting) had been auto awsome - aficated!
I have no idea what this means other than i now have Dave with animated snow! And i did nowt!

Odd!

 

but i like it!

Who done this?

 

PaINtinGS

So I’ve done some paintings for Ether-One that are going to be paintings in Ether-one –WOT?

You know – like in frames, on walls, in the game and stuff. All well and good.

Then; ‘what a jolly wheeze it would be to paint the White Paper Games boys I thought’ – So I did!

Hey - So summer has been and gone - it was good while it lasted and i grew some funky squash!

So i thought i would celebrate my bumper harvest by taking a pic and running it through Pixlr Express+ which is a free app that lets you fanny about with filters and stuff and shtuff - its cool just playing around with it - especially good for that oldy/worldy look.

Might be good for student pitch docs and the like.

Check out my veg!

works on things other than veg too!

A quick sketch in the procreate App which I'm starting to like muchly
Now I want a palm rejection stylus

Procreate - new (for me) iPad App
Pretty cool - lets you paint BIG images on the iPad - at last!
The trade off is that the bigger the image - the less layers you can have.
Layers are for whimps anyway!

Heres wot i did in my first little play



Looks a little darker than on iPad - tough!

SecrEt sQuirRel

OK - i haven't posted anything in ages - but there's a reason....
I've been doing super secret White Paper Games stuff that you cant see - yet!

Meanwhile, in other news - I got contacted by Conservation Magazine (Washington) and they want to (are gonna) use one of my images to go with a story about some software that calculates the benefit of urban trees (or something cool like that)

This be da pic;

 

and that be that!

Update on my plans to take over the world through daft tee shirts
I have made .... Wait for it.....£26.80!

Deciding what colour yacht I would suit best

still not sold anything on redbubble.com but what did happen is i created (all my own work) what i thought was a cool pick of chewbacca. Turns out Lucasfilm complained and it got removed from my store!

so here it is - posted for NON-COMERCIAL use - not that it was of commercial use in a shop that doesnt sell owt!

NOn-moNEy maKINg sCheme - R2 uNit not included!

Mr Towers put me onto REDBUBBLE.com!
I would say that it is a great place to make some pocket money by selling your cool designs and concepts printed onto T-Shirts, iPhone cases and the like - but i havent sold anything - so perhaps its not!

If you want to check out my unsuccessful shop here's the link;

Don’t think you have to buy anything – nobody else does!

At least people are looking at my daft stuff!

Penman said to try Art Rage

I finally downloaded it (iPad)

Harri drew a cool monster on our blackboard

Harri turned FIVE!

I tried Art Rage with Harri’s concept

That’s the way it happened

Honest
