  This is the beginning of what I hope will be the finishing sprint of the final few Zvery that remain to be pixeled. Today, we have a fired up trickster: Thabum. Cards on the table: I've been thinking... Continue reading

  Hey all, it's been too long, I'm glad to be back. I also bring you a new version of the thumbnails for these posts. Since Pokemon is a big inspiration, I thought I'd just appropriate their amazingly t... Continue reading

  Ok, I'm not gonna get another one out today, but this one was the important one. Here's Cosmoon: I did start with the background this time because here's why: Obviously Pokemon has the classic insect... Continue reading

  I'm back to talk about the gameplay design of Zvery. Last time I focused on the battle structure, this time I will dive into the ability design. All abilities are built out of four individual skills t... Continue reading

  So, you know how it is. You pick a deadline, and it's a double edged sword. On the one edge, you will finish what you started. On the other, you now have a low frequency anxiety in your daily life. "N... Continue reading

  February 04, 2023 by Bromberry#artwork

  Alright everyone, I'm back with a new Zvery. I hope this one gets glowing reviews because it would be on theme. Here's Nukraken It's a squid with a nuclear power plant building shape as a helmet. I th... Continue reading

  January 21, 2023 by Bromberry#artwork

  Ok, another day, another Zvery. I dreaded this one because..., well you'll see. Here's Ionora: It is a chameleon that can blend in with an aurora. Well, nothing too special, but I guess it's on theme... Continue reading

  Ivan is grinding out cards while I am stuck in the figurative Hell that is exam season. So the least I can do is show him, that yes in fact I can write. Well maybe not with punctuation and grammar, bu... Continue reading

  January 18, 2023 by Bromberry#artwork

  Hooray, I made it. I wasn't sure if I was going to cut it, but I can say that the planning ahead really does work. I immediately start solving visual issues instead of some vague worldbuilding or hypo... Continue reading

  
• Roggip
  January 17, 2023 by Bromberry#artwork

  It's not quite Monday, but close enough. I didn't manage to finish this one yesterday. It doesn't matter, as long as I work every day, I'm golden. Just like today's Zvery: Roggip. Roggip is inspired b... Continue reading

  
• Krictyl
  January 14, 2023 by Bromberry#artwork

  Happy weekend everyone. I took a day to plan some creatures (and didn't finish yesterday's Zvery in time), so here we have yesterdays but which is actually today's Krictyl: It's a crystal fiddler crab... Continue reading

  
• Borboa
  January 11, 2023 by Bromberry#artwork

  Today's artwork sadly doesn't have a gif because Krita does something I do not understand, and I did not have the mental capacity to figure it out (I tried). This is Borboa: Edit: Animation just start... Continue reading

  January 10, 2023 by Bromberry#artwork

  After taking home two double-yous with the last two designs, I invest even more effort into today's Zvery. (I have taken compliments as the indicator for a W--they got called cute, which was the inten... Continue reading

  
• Orolotl
  January 09, 2023 by Bromberry#artwork

  Today's new entry was quite hard to make, not because the character design is insane, but because it has 4 hands which I needed to make look like they could be hands. It was quite a struggle. Here's O... Continue reading

  
• Woox
  January 08, 2023 by Bromberry#artwork

  Alright, the cutie's back with another cutie UwU. I decided to go from the lower levels upward. I probably should have done that from the get go. Why? Because during playtesting the beginning should b... Continue reading

  
• Karog
  January 05, 2023 by Bromberry#artwork

  Phew, now that was one long day. Anyway, after glorious Xalla, which I am mightily proud of, I bring you Karog, a worthless pebble in this uncaring universe. Aha! But he cares even less about the unca... Continue reading

  
• Xalla
  December 24, 2022 by Bromberry#artwork

  I have returned once again, and you may consider it your early Christmas gift. Well, like 20 mins early. Here's Xalla: As you can see. I have added a step to my process. First, I used a basic shape to... Continue reading

  
• Pteroming
  December 23, 2022 by Bromberry

  In accord with yesterdays feelings, I have decided to do a much simpler design today. That doesn't mean that I did it quickly, though. I took my time doing some sketches, thumbnails, and collecting pa... Continue reading

  
• Samoroth
  December 23, 2022 by Bromberry

  Technically, it's already Friday, but I was travelling home for Christmas today, so I borrowed a little time from tomorrow. Sue me! I definitely spent too long on this one, I will say. Certainly, I am... Continue reading

  
• Guarach
  December 21, 2022 by Bromberry#artwork

  After yesterdays SO-SO artwork, I have tried to do better today. Though I did put myself in a sticky situation, because I still had to do my Christmas shopping, so that took quite a chunk out of my da... Continue reading

  
• SO-7
  December 20, 2022 by Bromberry#artwork

  Another day, another Zvery in the cards. Today, I was really not in it. I think there's no need for me to pretend that I am always at 105% motivation. Obviously, I am human, as far as you know. Unlike... Continue reading

  
• Blohked
  December 19, 2022 by Bromberry#artwork

  I am back. I have healed myself with the help of a few big pharma pills. Let's go. I started this one when I felt better on Friday, but I got worse the next day, so I finished it only today. I am sad... Continue reading

  
• Ohmkey
  December 14, 2022 by Bromberry#artwork

  This will be a quicky because it seems I have fallen ill. After yesterday's undefinable horror, I bring you something more understandable. Simon gave me feedback that there was nothing he could connec... Continue reading

  
• Ryndomorph
  December 13, 2022 by Bromberry

  I hope you've had a pleasant day, my friends. Only 41 more artworks left. Today I made a void creature. I wanted it to be like a space jellyfish. So this time I heeded (head?) my own advice and made s... Continue reading

  December 12, 2022 by Bromberry#artwork, #process

  Oy, I'm back with a new artwork. I had a nice Sunday, which charged me up creatively for this week. I chose to do a plasma creature next. Oh, I guess you don't know all the types we have: bubblegum, r... Continue reading

  December 10, 2022 by Bromberry

  Rejoice! For it is another day of the Zvery insanity. I have returned to avenge my failed Tchelychna artwork. Actually, I only diss myself in jest. Simon assured me that it is not that bad, and I agre... Continue reading

  
• Tchelychna
  December 09, 2022 by Bromberry

  Alright my friends, today I had a busy busy day. I did not have a lot of time, and I picked a pretty tough design, which didn't turn out the way I'd hoped. Or perhaps I file it under 'tough' because i... Continue reading

  
• Brijast
  December 08, 2022 by Bromberry

  Alright, since this is the first in a series of artworks, I should explain what the series is about. It's about something that is terribly wrong in our industry: crunch. A barbaric and anachronistic b... Continue reading
