I'm not sure how many of you have been to FontStruct, but
it's a Flash app that lets you build and download your own fonts, like so:

It's particularly suited to pixel fonts, but some designers have used it to make some incredible vector fonts as well. I've been having a lot of fun making icon fonts with it, like the smiley face font below:

By just typing normal emoticons [i.e. ":)"] you can get up to 224 different expressions. You can download my "emOTTERcons" font by going here.

You don't need to see his identification.

Lightsabers, ho!

Sci-fi Tileset

2010-02-03T09:00:00.000-08:00

An environmental tileset test I did to go with the character designs below.

Character model

2010-02-01T16:02:00.000-08:00

This was a test avatar I built for the main character model. In hindsight, I probably didn't need this much resolution given the sprite size I was planning...

Some characters from a side project I've been fiddling with.

More Star Wars

2010-01-26T14:56:00.000-08:00

Many Bothans died to bring us this blog post.

Tiefling Warlord

2009-05-15T15:44:00.000-07:00

And you thought I wasn't ever gonna post again...

Sgt. Ryka

Combining the rugged good looks of James Ford and the whiny angst of Hayden Christiansen.

No! Wait! I thought you were blind!

2008-04-09T11:42:00.000-07:00

Being blind makes it hard for your character to gaze dramatically into the binary sunset.

Those blue elephanty guys from Star Wars

2008-04-07T14:26:00.000-07:00

Reading the title of my post, you might think I don't know what those guys are actually called. But if that's what you think, you're wrong. I'm far too huge a nerd not to know that. This is Ooli Bet, my wife's character from our new Star Wars campaign.

Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy

2008-03-27T09:49:00.000-07:00

I painted this portrait for my sister-in-law, who adores the Master of Pemberly. For Christmas, we printed her out a copy on a one-sheet.

I don't think I quite captured his brooding indifference. Perhaps he needs a window to stare out of, or a speech bubble with a curt observation in it.

Gun Priest

2007-02-06T13:19:00.000-08:00

So my friend Brent and his wife Virginia are working on this sweet RPG/CG setting that I'm not supposed to talk about probably, but I made a character for it, displayed at the right.

Giant Mechanical Thing

2006-12-04T14:48:00.000-08:00

Also with the not telling and so on...yes.

Red cape

2006-11-06T16:47:00.000-08:00

I would tell you what this was for, but then I'd have to kill you.

Wark wark wark

More old stuff

2006-09-15T10:11:00.000-07:00

Choppy poky shooty.

I think...the communism today

2006-09-12T10:53:00.000-07:00

One of only two decent oil paintings that I've ever done.

It's a head

2006-09-11T09:41:00.000-07:00

Look, it's Emily from my figure drawing class. Like Emily "Trisha" Tyndall from Napoleon Dynamite. She has a blog too. No, it did not take me 3 hours to do the shading on her upper lip.

Ancient Tak Art

2006-09-07T11:20:00.000-07:00

Hooray old Tak art! If I recall correctly this was done after Tak and the Power of Juju but before staff of dreams. Ancient man.

Ducktales: Duckblur

2006-09-06T15:14:00.000-07:00

For anyone who played the original on NES, you know you want this game.
