The purpose of the blog is to jot down basic ideas that I have with images that are related. From these posts, I can come back and work on the ideas to develop concepts further and create concrete results. Hopefully, people will post various thoughts on my ideas and help me develop them in ways that I normally would not think of.

The Benefits of Technology
Character design is one of my favorite areas of game design. I am working with trying to draw concept art for my characters in various RPG campaigns. This character is from the game Exalted, and is an Abyssal Dusk Caste samurai, who lost her arm in a battle and had a robotic prosthetic replacement. Although Abyssals are typically associated with death and they do sometimes use necrotech (patching things up and making machines out of corpse parts), I wanted to make her arm more mechanical. My mind drew a blank in how to depict an arm as clearly robotic (although I can picture things when not drawing), and my indecision shows, unfortunately, in how the lines of the segments don't seem to line up properly. I do enjoy the effect that illustrator had on my drawing, as it seems much more comic-like, which is what I was going for.
