I’m working on some game concepts for fantasy football.
Animals
European Ladybug Legend
According to European legend, in the middle ages the crops were being destroyed by aphids so the farmers prayed to the Virgin Mary to send help. The next thing you know, little red bugs with black spots show up, eat the aphids and save the crops. The farmers called them “Our Lady’s Beetles” …and then later simply called them “ladybugs”.
Almost Summer Time
Bread taking a vacation in Toast-A-Rica… Cinderella wearing glass flippers… chickens getting hot wings while sunbathing on the beach… must be summertime…
I Heard It Thru The Bovine
Once again, it’s time for summer weddings… deja moo.
Three Ring Circus
Another one of the wall illustrations I did for Living Stones Church in Crown Point, Indiana.
Croak-A-Cola
I used to have a job crushing Coca-Cola cans. It was soda pressing.
Krita Is Kinda Awesome
The other night I was wandering aimlessly through internetland and stumbled across something called KRITA. On a whim, I downloaded it to the Surface Pro 4 tablet I was using and began experimenting with it. I was shocked with the results.
First of all, let me say I know next to nothing about KRITA… except that it’s awesome and it’s FREE! It is a digital painting program that looks, feels and functions like Photoshop… and did I mention it was absolutely free?!
I loaded up one of my little sermon note sketches and began testing the brush engine. It responded like a trooper. This is NOT just another simple little drawing app, this is a full blown digital painting program. If you know your way around Photoshop it’s pretty easy to pick up. If not, there would probably be a bit of a learning curve to it, but well worth the effort.
It worked great on a PC and it probably would work fine on a MAC (like I said, I know next to nothing about it) so if you’re looking for a good digital painting program (or a substitute for Photoshop because you can’t afford it) you might want to give this a test drive. What have you got to lose… IT’S FREE!
