I drunk tested the crap out of this game. It’s going to make me buy an iPad, making it a 509.99 dollar video game.

Here are some screens from the Samurai Duel beta! We are on the fast track to submit the game to Apple this weekend. As you can see we are going for a minimal look with simple touch controls. Samurai Duel is a two-player battle of speed and accuracy controlled by one finger. We’ve done lots of play testing with drunk adults and everyone seems to have a lot of fun with it!

A cover I put together tonight for a collection of Fast Fictions Marc is putting out for Kindle. The specs for this were really, really weird: 300 dpi, but below 127kb. Talk about restrictions…

Creative Tally: 24

Sketched a book cover for Marc’s Kindle collection of shorts.
Figured out the visuals for some tricky navigation for a client at The Day Job.

Creative Tally: 23

Finished a illustration for a Giant War text piece.
Got concept sketch of a commission off to a freelance client.

Scene number two that Marc and I put together for The Card Cheat pitch. I used a slightly modified classic comic coloring palette (84 colors or whatever) that Ray put together a while ago.

Here’s a link to the post with the first scene.

About a year and a half ago or so, Marc and I pitched The Card Cheat around to some folks. It didn’t get picked up anywhere, but I’m still proud of the work we did in the pitch.

Since Tumblr only let’s you upload 10 images at at time I’ve broken the art up in to a couple of posts. Here’s the first of two scenes we did for the book. We ended up thumbnailing the whole thing and doing character designs for all major characters as well.
