Inktober 2017

This year I did all 31 prompts of Inktober in the theme of video games. Video games that inspire me video games that I enjoyed.

Day 1 - Swift

I chose Bioshock spider spicer for swift influenced a little by Todd McFarlane

Day 2 - Divided

I chose Link and Dark Link as my divided prompt I really like how this one came out.

Day 3 - Poison

Arbok from Pokemon Go because it's the only Pokemon game I've played.

Day 4 - Underwater

I chose the iconic city of Rapture from the original Bioshock.

Day 5 - Long

This one is a long fall from Portal and didn't turn out exactly as planned.

Day 6- Sword

This is Cloud's buster sword from the new Final Fantasy VII remake.

Day 7 - Shy

This is ShyGuy from the Mario series done in the style of Edvard Munch's "The Scream"

Day 8 - Crooked

The Crooked Man from Wolf Among Us.

Day 9 - Skreech

A Wretch from the original Gears of War.

Day 10 - Gigantic

A colossus from Shadow of Colossus.

Day 11 - Run

This is Sonic from the Sonic The Hedgehog game series.

Day 12 - Shattered

This is Cuphead and Mugman from Cupheads. This is a 'living' embodiment of how I play/die through this game.

Day 13 - Teeming

This is from Mushroom Wars. I love this game.

Day 14 - Fierce

This is Amaterasu from Okami.

Day 15 - Fat

This is Fat Princess from Fat Princess. I created a hybrid of the styles from the old and new versions of the game.

Day 16 - Graceful

This is from Journey. This game is amazing. If you haven't played it, you need to do so (after you finish reading this post of course).

Day 18- Filthy

Dustforce - The coolest game about dusting ever!

Day 19 - Cloud

Cloud - "I was emo before it was cool and will remain emo when it reaches the pathetic point."

Day 20 - Deep

Deep derp. Same thing right? Not even his vampie status justifies this level of brooding. He makes Cloud look downright giddy.

Day 21 - Furious

The Mario version of The Fast and The Furious. Death stare from Mario Kart.

Day 22 - Trial

Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney doing his thang.

Day 23 - Juicy

Watermelon OR Kirby? No judgment here.

Day 24- Blind

This is Berserker from the original Gears of War. It's one of my favorite battles in this game.

Day 25 - Ship

From Mass Effect. Normandy - we had some great times.

Day 26 - Squeak

That beloved series, Metal Gear Solid where a box is never just a box. Trust me.

Day 27 - Climb

Altair from the original Assassin's Creed game. Making climbing and looking into people's window not creepy at all.

Day 28 - Fall

This is from Red Dead Redemption. This is the fall of John Marsten.

Day 29 - United

We can all stand united around a good multiplayer match.

Day 30 - Hidden

Castlevania - the only game where Wall Turkeys save your life.

Day 31 - Mask

I hated this game as a kid. Majora's Mask.

Going to GDC gave me some contacts, I'm honestly a little disappointed in myself for not being a little more outgoing. Yet I can't be too hard on myself because I find it hard to open up to new people and when there are SO many people, with such a limited time to get to know someone; it's tough.

Right now I'm still waiting on the Windows Mixed Reality VR headset because it hasn't come yet. I'm not quite sure if it was a PR stunt and there was just no follow through. Either way I'm sad I don't have it and probably won't get it.

Right now I'm working on a new piece to try to showcase all of my knowledge. I've been learning a lot of new things and it's been a lot of fun.

Here is my progress shots.
