All I have to say...

FANTASTIC!

drew the main 3 from the adventure zone podcast, been really getting into that lately

nice to come back here and see some dope ass art! I haven't gotten into TAZ yet but I love all the McElroy stuff, so these are nice.

for a long while id been thinking about totally retooling the art style in john action, and this is what i have for john right now. it means i would have to totally redraw what i have of the nick pilot but i think it would be worth it, this style just seems a lot more appealing to me.

the tapering on the lineart always seemed a little too wibbly wobbly and sensory overload so i tied it down a bit, i think it should be generally easier to read now. and theres something that always bothered me about john’s head being just a circle so i gave the shape a bit of a cheek. weird pac-man wedge eyes are also really weird and hard to figure out how to animate so i figured it’d be easier to give him more simpsony eyes. i also think making the edges of his teeth rounder fits his character a bit better, and the limbs should be thinner and more noodly, i think its really important for him to be able to express emotion through the arms.

overall i think it’s a huge improvement and im excited to start figuring out how the others would look in this style.

I'm trying to get a PC-98 style 80s mecha dungeon crawler shmup rpg off the ground right now and among a couple other things i have some concept art of the main characters









first we have the main character, Cleo



and her soft gay friend, Roxy

also for anyone interested here is a very rudimentary engine ive been messing with for said game



just pretend the squares are cool robots
