Welcome
I'm an varied artist, from artworks to characters and also gamedev, but these things often don't go well together, so I want to create a seperate home website to showcase them off.
If this turns into a proper place, I can use it to showcase my stuff better, for now you can use the links to other websites. Or you can check out my Carrd in the meantime.
Artworks
I draw using Medibang Paint Pro and a Wacom Intous Draw tablet
Besides drawing artworks, I also enjoy the process of creating and drawing characters too. It takes inspiration from various games like Terraria and Fire Emblem.
I totally have better ones but this fits the state of the site pretty well.
Indie Gaems
I've created games in XNA, GameMaker and Pico-8.
I'm a professional programmer, and I work on my games in my pasttime.
Most of the sprite assets I use for my games are made by myself as well.
Metroidvanias are my passion, and I love playing short indie games to see how other developers did their approach, and to understand the design behind their games.
My finished games:
- 2016 Space Siblings
- 2021 HertenHeld
- 2021 Space Siblings mini
- 2022 Shepherd
- 2023 Fallen Star
- 2025 HertenHeld: Overgrowth
