Illustration
An old illustration I did for a previous iteration of my blog, and a scrapped illustration that was also originally intended for it. The effect is created by drawing a conventional pixel art line using Aseprite, then resizing downwards.
Some iconography and graphics I produced for the Art I like section of this website. After existing on my website for a long time, I discarded them since it was a little too silly. The things they represent work better as more subtle touches anyway IMO.
In real life, serpents are considerably more difficult to climb than depicted here.
Another poster I did for a community contest.
An poster I did for a community contest. The design aesthetic I chose was blatantly self-indulgent and really didn't have much thematic relevance at all.
The squiggles passing through the vertical stripes are a modified Turing pattern.
Some experimentation with logotypes.
An illustration I did for Lenore.
A profile picture that I drew, optimised like hell to make it readable at small sizes. It's surprisingly hard to make outlines legible at that scale.
Logo designs for this website. On the bottom is an old design that was axed as it didn't work well at smaller sizes, with the other three being designed to replace it. Obviously, I ended up choosing the topmost one.
Some icons from an old version of my website. It had a little bit of a pixel-art theme going on for a bit.
Some icons from the homepage of an old version of my website. The heart was dropped for the final version, leaving only five icons.
A background from an old version of my website. My blog was represented by a cloud motif for the longest time for no particular reason.
A map depicting the transport networks of a (now sadly deceased) Minecraft server. The graphical design style was largely inspired by the RATF's recent Paris subway maps.
A depiction of Ling from Margin of the Strange.
A macOS Big Sur-style icon for TiddlyDesktop, a personal wiki application. The road sign motif wasn't really done for any reason other than I thought it looked cool, and that the default icon had a yellow backdrop.

A fictional poster for Portal 2's Conversion Gel, made in the style of similar posters in the actual game. I originally made this as part of a discussion with the developers of the excellent-looking mod Desolation.

An original character of mine.
A depiction of Diana from the upcoming Portal 2 mod Desolation.
The upcoming Portal 2 mod Desolation, reimagined as a Nintendo 64 title.
Character illustration and main background by Emberspark Games. Nintendo 64 logo and box art layout by Nintendo, obviously.
A logotype exploration for Margin of the Strange. Not created for them and doesn't really fit with the aesthetic of the game; just something I decided to do for fun.
Miriam from the amazing and very underrated game Wandersong. You should play it!
An old illustration I did for a previous iteration of my blog. The "lakes" are in fact trapezoids and rectangles that have been rounded and distorted via SVG filters.
Be careful.
Niko from OneShot.
The anatir (Lutriformes antiatra) is an animal that I made up as a small child. Here, I've drawn one emerging from a box.
A depiction of Madeline from Celeste.
I think this actually makes more sense as being at the beach, but that's what I called the file when I created it.
A quick Big Sur-style icon for Bits N' Picas. Not as good as my TiddlyWiki one, hence why it's lower on the page.
Go and play Portal: Revolution, it's a really great mod.
Since 1980, over 80 people have died in caving accidents in the United States.
A redraw of an older illustration that I did as a personal wallpaper.
Despite being in use for millions of years, today dinosaurs are an outdated form of transportation.
Me as a rather grumpy wizard. The grey marks under my eyes are a natural feature of mine that I used to hate but have grown to accept.
A random jumble of images I made as a social media image.

Custom-drawn lettering depicting my online name in English, Māori, most Cyrillic languages, and Japanese. The background photo was taken in the Pacific Northwest of the United States.
A 404 Not Found image for this website.
An image originally created for my site, loosely inspired by the work of Temmie Chang.
A stylised version of the word "soon" in Braille 👀.
A random design mockup I made on a whim.
A profile image that I made.
A revision of an older piece that I did to test shading. The framing effect with the green and white outlined bit was done due to make it fit a certain aspect ratio, but it's an interesting idea that I think has a bunch of potential.
A rather depressing piece that I made during a rather depressing time.
A technological witch.
Another experiment in the vein of the cubes depicting a wall of some sort. If I remember correctly, the panels could slide out in a futuristic fashion.
Yet another poster for a competition in the Heraldry Community that I run.

A test text treatment which included some wild bends.
A poster for a competition in the Heraldry Community that I run. I quite liked the stripes of text but overall the design is too complex IMO.
An image for testing image effects. The picture of the capybaras was taken at the Wellington Zoo.
A standardised set of warning signs concordant with my graphical style, with a few fictional ones thrown in.
A little test sketch that I did of some cubes.
