Castle Crashers awesome!

Hey there! I just wanted to post this process video from the folks at The Behemoth, makers of the game Castle Crashers. First and foremost, it is possibly the funniest game on the Xbox 360. All of the artwork was originally created in Flash, then pumped into the system.

Altho the game, by design, is just a button mashing frenzy, it really feels like your are experiencing an interactive illustration, making it feel much more engaging than your average streets of rage type game. (TMNT and simpsons arcade game would also apply there) :)

Please enjoy the following video.

If you would like more information about The Behemoth or Castle Crashers, check out their site over at

If you do have an Xbox360, xbox live account and lots of free time to waste.... ha

download the game. seriously, it's amazing.

You know, there is something really satisfying about doing loose oil paintings. Having been in watercolor, Photoshop and Flash for so long, I can see myself getting more and more cramped up. I know painting digitally is no substitute for REAL paint, but doing these last few pieces has really been relaxing! ..sigh I wish I wasn't allergic to oil paint...

This last piece is still a work in progress. I cropped it so ya'll could see the details, but ya know, I actually like it better!

enjoy.
