Captain Candlebeard

[zakarntson]

So I was naughty and spent an hour last night on the Wacom tablet. What's great about my job is that I can get all sorts of art advice from real artists. I haven't yet decided to continue on this one or start new with the tips I received.

Wow, Zak. For a programmer, you're one heck of an artist!

[zakarntson]

Thanks! I'm a double-dropout from fine arts AND computer science!

Captain Candlehat is killer. When do we put together a game company again?

[jakefish]

I love you, man.

The colors are fantastic. The candles on the hat are a good design that would work really well in a game. I'm picturing a gameplay mechanic where the player would have to make both flames go out before the pirate would take damage.

Wicked stuff, keep it coming!

I need to do some color balancing and stuff, but yeah, I'm real happy with the palette.

I wasn't even thinking of a video game! But that's a great idea.

Nice! Great to see you drawing again!

[zakarntson]

Any drawing will be few and far between, but yeah, it did feel pretty nice to make something that didn't completely suck. That's the only recent digital drawing I've been willing to share.
