October/November Art Roundup

Hey friends! It’s time again for an art roundup! In fact it’s past time, but hey we’re doing it now. Here’s some of what I’ve been up to these past couple months:

Random doodles, including a tree, a couple ugly faces, and a coffee mug with a face, all done in ink
Three rock studies done in perspective with black ink
More rock studies in perspective with black ink
A third set of rock studies with a tree growing on top, done in black ink
A rock study drawn in perspective with black and brown inks
A study of a crevice done in black, blue, and orange ink
Three artist trading card sized drawings in blue and black ink, done for my patrons
Three artist trading card drawings done in blue, black, and orange ink. Done for my patrons
A landscape done in ink, of an island with shrubs and tall pine trees
Two sketches, one a colorful thumbnail of a boat in front of a lake, and another of a forest done in brown, orange, black, and green inks
A perspective study of a tree above a rock wall with stones paving the ground in front of it

I hope you enjoy this slideshow! I’d have more to say about it but honestly it’s been a struggle just getting art done at all these past several weeks. At least doing these rock studies and such have been really helping me figure out how to draw in perspective!

See y’all next time.

September Art Roundup

Hey friends! It’s been a bit since I’ve collected a bunch of my recent art on here, so here goes!

Above are a bunch of trees I did recently. The two with color are birthday gifts I did for a couple friends, and the other two are experiments I did while puzzling out a new method of doing art.

Above are more sketches I did, fiddling around with a different pen (the first two) and getting more experimental with my brush pen. I’ve actually finally worn out my brush pen after three years, so I’m waiting on a new tip to arrive in the mail soon.

Well, there’s the post! I hope you enjoyed reading and looking at my art. I’ll catch y’all later! <3

Update – 20 June 2019

Hey friends! It’s been awhile! I’ve been somewhat off the radar for the past month or so while I develop better habits with my art and life in general. Art-wise, most of what I’ve been up to has been delving back into writing, and doing a lot of studies. I can’t share much of it yet, but here’s a bunch of sketches I’ve done!

Also: I turn 30 tomorrow (June 21st)! Yay moving on to the next era of my life. Here’s to more cool art and more personal growth!

Update – 03 May 2019

Wow, jeez, it’s been over three months since I’ve updated this blog. Been a weird few months too, but it’s been relatively decent. Lemme give y’all a synopsis.

Through early Feb, I was on a great roll with art, and then through the rest of Feb and into March I was in a bit of a funk; same for with most of April. I got some work done on the game, did some good writing, and have done a few cool illustrations since then.

However, most of my time has been spent working on handling my depression better. Hence why this blog has been neglected for so long. I’ve still been posting on my Patreon every couple weeks, at least. Most of those posts end up free for the public to see, if you’d like to catch up on my activities there!

More art and such below:

ODP: The Cave

Hey everyone! Now feels like a good time to make a post about my current project: I’m making another small video game!

Ominous Doom Planet: The Cave is a narrative platforming game about a space exploring scientist getting lost in a deep cave filled with dark secrets. What forbidden knowledge will they gain from this chasm on a planet on the edge of reality? Well, you’ll have to wait til it’s finished to find out!

Here’s some screenshots of what I’ve got of it so far!

As you can see, I’ve got the basic art and enemy AI working, in addition to having tileset going. There’s also some invisible things such as features that make level design a much more expedient process. Also not shown is player movement and jump physics.

This was achieved in the first couple weeks of development.

During the third week of development, I got dialogue boxes working, including creating my own font and outline sprites. This coming week, I’m hoping to get multiple lines of dialogue working from the same interactive object.

I’m posting updates every week on Twitter, to the #ominousdoomplanet hashtag. Hopefully the game will be out by summer, depending on how everything goes! See you next time!

Poem – “Casting Light”

Casting Light
By Anthony Jutz

The tower casts its light,
Through the wide horizon.

Echoing through the clouds,
It sings its lonely song.

Blinking in and out,
It warns of floating embers.

But no one passes by
This place they can’t remember.

Standing tall and lonesome,
The tower casts its light.

Art Update – 10 Nov 2018

Whoa, it’s been a while since my last update. Like a month and a half! Much of that time was spent re-evaluating my attitude toward creating, and practicing a better perspective. Let’s get into that more down below.

Art Update – 26 Sept 2018

Hello friends! It’s been a while! I figured today’s as good a time as any to dust off the past couple weeks of inactivity and let you all know what’s going on.

ODP Poem – “Rucksack”

Rucksack

by Anthony Jutz

A traveler’s rucksack,
Filled with things along the way.

This collection of stuff,
From both good and bad days.

Memories beholden,
To failures from the past.

A sad compartment of shit,
Dumped in a ditch at long last.

To let go and let loose,
The present better than what was.

The pack now lightened,
Cleaned out just because.

All that old junk,
Left to rot in the sun.

Time to move on,
Tomorrow’s just begun.

ODP Poem – “Dragon”

Dragon

by Anthony Jutz

Bright as the night,
It slithers behind the moon.

But during the day,
It whispers in the clouds.

Within the atmosphere,
The world is its throne.

Its kingdom its own,
Ruled by none.

Tread lightly,
Beware the dragon’s words.

For where reality meets unreality,
Truth is but a wish.

Now go,
Go softly.

And breathe,
Breathe the dream.

The dragon calls.
