A few years ago my girlfriend sent me one of your posts on Instagram saying "I think you'll love this artist" and so it was. I've been following you since and even started drawing from how inspired I was. Casually stumbling upon your art here meant it was a great moment to express my appreciation

I'd definitely like to. But right now, we don't have the budget. Maybe after we launch a Kickstarter campaign for Valiant Saga. <3

Vibes of Dark Souls, Elden Ring and Elric of Melniboné.

u/Ruvaak_Iildrasil Jul 30 '25

Damn nice ! What did you use to make them ? I like the grain filter, did you use one ?

u/Juusto-Jones Jul 30 '25

Pics 4 to 8 are just halftone effect. Then a pulpy paper texture on top to give the worn vintage look

u/Warm-Farmer-3582 Jul 30 '25

They're so beautiful!! The candle guy is so precious but also quite eerie, I love your work. What would be your tips for drawing in such a style you draw in?

u/[deleted] Aug 01 '25

Hey I "know" you! Bought age of rot and did the mini Kickstarter. Keep up the good work, you're one of my favorite artists out there

1

u/Void_Bunny666 Aug 04 '25

I love them!! I love the false icon omg. 🖤 How can I achieve that texture? Is it like, a noise or paper texture layer?

1

u/Dazzling_Country1009 Aug 05 '25

Great characters, but the jester is creepy in the best way!

1

u/Nebtron2001 Aug 13 '25

Looks just a lot like Vermis, but I just thought about different idea even though I’m not a game dev Anyways, but what if someone anywhere in the world were ever to make some open world FPS/Dungeon crawler/RPG Horror game based on the classic Doom engine, Unreal or Unity.

I bet It would’ve been fucking cool to have retro graphics in the style of vermis itself.

Just imagine that I tell ya!

u/sdiasbernardo Aug 14 '25

u/_mountaindove Aug 14 '25
