Mining Rig W.I.P.
Hello everyone, I'm starting off November by revealing progress on the much-anticipated MINING RIG. These truly enormous vehicles were key pieces of machinery which made the Mystery Flesh Pit such a lucrative investment for the Anodyne Corporation, mining all sorts of valuable minerals and chemi...
Limited Edition Patches Are Now Available For Purchase
At 6pm CST there will be a post on the main blog linking to the store page.
Enclosed Trail W.I.P.
Work is progressing on some "photos" of the park's trails/exhibits/etc. I'm mostly happy with the lighting and getting the flesh/structure interface "right", but there's still a lot to do in terms of detail and fine tuning.
Embroidered Patches & Benefactor Surprise Gift
By popular demand, I've had a limited run of these custom Mystery Flesh Pit National Park embroidered patches manufactured. These patches will go up on sale on the main merch site (mfpgiftshop.storenvy.com) sometime later this week, and I will let all of the patrons here know an hour before I ma...
New Post - Meet the Mesogleal Tridecapod
New post up on the blog examining another member of the Parks unique wildlife! These blood-sucking living magnet drills may be found clustered all around sections of the Parks interior electrical grid and are known to cause all sorts of issues to technicians and engineers. But surely such a (relativ...
Podcast interview
I was recently invited to speak a bit about the flesh pit project on the "Solidarity House" podcast. Many of the things we discussed aren't new to fans of the mystery flesh pit, but we do get into themes and inspirations which fans may find interesting.
Scrapped Tour Vehicle Design
This was the first direction I went with for the design of the Tour Vehicles (V.E.E.Vs), basing it heavily upon the existing vehicle architecture I had designed for the ranger vehicles. The thinking was that the elements would most likely have evolved to be similar with tapered wheels, smooth surfac...
Trail Tunnel W.I.P.
Just a quick progress snapshot of the enclosed reinforced trail tunnels found throughout the interior of the Mystery Flesh Pit National Park. Having a completed model will allow me to render some "photo" style pieces as well as develop a "Trail Construction Standards" document.
Park Benefactor Surprise W.I.P.
Just a small teaser for a thank-you gift to those at the Park Benefactor tier that I'll be sending out early next month; make sure your shipping address is up to date!
Tridecapod W.I.P. and old Trail Engineer sketch.
Just a quick W.I.P. as I'm painting in the tridecapod creature. Also an old sketch. This was the original pencil sketch for the Trail Engineer piece, including a little diagram of how the stents would work. Looking back at it now I like some of the little details that, for whatever reason, I did...
Early Park Ranger & Signage Sketches
I found an old sketchbook I thought I had lost and it had a few of these sketches in it. As evident in the early scratch-sketch of the ranger, I had originally thought they might be the ones carrying a (much-larger) laser multitool instead of trail engineers. Only after really developing out the Ano...
WIP wildlife sketch
Some visual exploration for an upcoming creature feature of a named but as-yet unseen wildlife species.
New Tier Ranks
Hello Patrons, As the scope of this project has continued to grow, I've decided to implement a tier system for this Patreon starting Tomorrow, September 1st. What this means for existing patrons: All patrons who currently pledge $1 or more will continue to have access to everything you have alre...
W.I.P.: Gumption Tourist Map
Still a lot of polishing and tweaking before it is ready to post, but here's a sneak preview for my patrons. Gumption is the small town just north of the Mystery Flesh Pit National Park, and is a city whose economy, boom and bust was closely tied to the development and tourism of the MFP. This i...
Welcome new patrons!
First, thank you so much for your enthusiasm and support for this project. The passionate support from super-fans like yourselves continues to motivate me to create more content for this world during the times when I feel burnt out or unsure of which direction to take the MFP. Secondly, in the inter...
New Post!
These scans are some of the first look at a major location within the Mystery Fleshpit National Park - The Intrapark Wellness Resort.
Mystery Flesh Pit content Road Map
Hello!I really don't update this page as often as I should, but my goal moving into the spring and summer is to change that. In the spirit of posting more W.I.P. and behind-the-scenes content, I thought I would post my rough "road map" of future content here to give you an idea of some o...
Gift Gardens Post Card Art
This is the first in a series of Posters/Post Cards that I want to start doing for the MFP. I've been trying to get the style right, and I'm finally happy with this technique, so expect more in the next few months!
New Video Post Up!
This is the first piece of video content I've produced for the MFP project, and I had a lot of fun putting it together. I've always loved the ominous sounds of EAS broadcasts and thought it would only be fitting to mock up one for the Flesh Pit. Enjoy!
New Post Up!
Hi-Res link: https://i.redd.it/17jri9589c061.jpgThis one took way more time than I anticipated; It's difficult to try and capture something like an internal 3D environment without resorting to topography lines or relief shading. If I was going to do it over I'd probably add some "cutoff&...
Sneak Preview/Update
Quick W.I.P. of the park map; it -is- coming, I promise!
Flesh pit AMA on reddit tomorrow evening.
Hello, I'm going to answer the top 3 questions in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/FleshPitNationalPark/comments/jarn0a/first_official_mystery_flesh_pit_ama/tomorrow night, but of course I'll answer some questions here as well exclusively for the Patrons. I also thought I'd share so...
