Akumi Wars: Boss Fight Test
We now have big boss battle setups and animated objects for the back grounds. Here you can see our biggest enemy yet! Animating in the background, I added floating rocks, floating embers and red fog moving behind the Archfiend. This will be a huge step in allowing us to bring background elements to ...
Who does it Better?
After watching this 3D animated He-Man series on Netflix, I was inspire to make a new look for Akumi. I just love how over the top and stylized the art design in the show looked. It's beautiful. It's the sort of energy I want to bring to my art. I call the one on the right "Amazon Akumi&...
Akumi's Ship Concepts
Flash art, to be detailed in Photoshop later.So far in the game the only thing you'll be able to customize on the ship will be it's weapon assist for when you're in battle. The diagram of the ship is just for my own amusement to know how much room they would actually have in the inside. ...
Akumi Remaster?
I'm someone who needs constant change to feel like progression is happening. I've moved more times than I can remember now. And now I'm feeling an unstoppable urge to make some exaggerated adjustments to the Akumi we all know and love.All the previous skins will still be available in the...

Akumi Inking
Okay I think I'm finding a method in Photoshop I actually like! I can emulate inking but also be as messy as I want and not worry about making mistakes. Made this today and had fun doing it! Will color later!

Doom Paladin
In the Akumiverse, exists mysterious beings called Doomknockers. Protectors and Destroyers they hold almost god-like powers. Many civilizations worship them as gods. No one knows where they come from or why but if you come across one, pray they are on your side.
The Paladin - Full Armor
Helmet visor down and ready to go! This guy will be a tough character. High defense, high health and healing spells... not to mention decent blocking with that shield.
The Paladin
Here's a variant with a helmet. What should we call him? I'm thinking Godric.

Job offer at NantG?
Everytime I dive deep into my creative flow, this happens... I was just talking to Adam the other day about how I've been an independent artist, or in other words, been jobless for years now and love it. Freedom to create my own arts although it ain't easy and I need to be very careful how I...

Character - Rhoncha
Rhoncha the Warlock! He's the big bad boss for Akumi Wars with his summoning of Arch Demon antics and other illegal shenanigans.
Background Art - The Lab "Brain"
A homage the the Metroid series. I played the first Metroid on Nintendo and still remember facing off with the final boss "Mother Brain"! Looks great with characters fighting in front of this background. Whether or not this will actually be a boss you fight, we'll have to see!
