Screwloose Studios is now LIVE!

More than just a portfolio site, this is a sort of "home base" for all of my creative work and I hope you'll take a look around.

The reason I've been so light on updates recently is because I've been working to get this thing into a serviceable state. It's not perfect, but since I'm paying for the privilege I ought to at least have something up, right?


But why visit a website just to see stuff I've already posted elsewhere?

BECAUSE, for the time being Screwloose Studios is the only place you can find CATCHER MALL, the never-ending monster project I've been working on for the best part of three years!

I'll probably end up adding these designs to my other galleries eventually, but I wanted to launch them all in a big reveal so that you could really get a feel for what the project is!


Finally, I am by no means a web designer so some parts are uglier than others, but I intend to keep updating it further and if you stumble across a spelling mistake or a button that doesn't work etc, please do let me know!

I still have a fair few names on my list for the Nintendo Collection, though I'm not quite sure how to prioritise them now.

I get a lot of suggestions but some are in notes, some are in gallery comments, some are in comments on individual pieces; It's tough to keep track.

That's why I'm making a journal entry in hopes to collate them all in a repository that I can refer to easily.

There's no guarantee I'll draw every character that gets suggested and a lot of them are probably already on my list but I wanted to see what remaining characters are popular and if there's anybody I might have misses.

That said, I won't be updating the Nintendo Collection for at least a few months (from now, April 2020) so no need to rush!

Wow, hard to believe it's been nearly a year since I did a journal entry!

I know most folks don't read these but those that do, here's what coming up from me:

1: MASCOT - Still working on Mascot, only a handful of characters left but I've got one or two larger pieces to go with them (remember that "Unfinished poster"? That's well on its way to completion.)
2: ENCYCLOTRIVIA - I've got a few Fandango robots that have been half-finished for a while so I hope to get to those soon and sign them off.
3: DARK CHARACTERS - A while back I mentioned that I wanted to investigate Nintendo's "dark characters" and why I don't like them. I've got a few sketches done so maybe I can get to this one fairly soon.
4: NINTENDO COLLECTION - Obviously my most popular work, I've had a few questions about who I will be drawing in the future. I can tell you that I have already drawn Hero and Terry, but the next set of ten will be published in November, to coincide with Terry's release and the announcement of the final (for now) character, since that will inform who I use to finish out the set.

And of course little bits and pieces here and there.

See you soon!

Hello folks.

I understand there's been a Smash Bros "leak" recently and while I don't really know exactly what it is, I couldn't help but stumble upon a couple of details. Of course, there's no way to know what details are true, what details are false or if the whole thing's a hoax.

All I would like to do though is request that you don't bring this information to me.

It's not that I've got anything against knowing what's in the game, necessarily, it's just that I respect the developers enough to wish for them to be able to present the game in the way they want to, rather than forcing it to happen another way.

Plus, isn't there some kind of legal precedent here? Surely the people involved would have signed NDAs...

In any event, I might not be reading my messages for a while (so I might not be replying to my messages for a while. Please don't think me rude.)

Thanks!

Hello folks!

Thought I'd do a little update post considering my last one ended uncertainly.
I bought a new hard drive, one big enough to accommodate all the work I've ever done and plenty more, so I figured this was the time to finally organise everything - over 700GB of data arranged into an actual coherent file structure that a) makes things easier to find, b) allows me to eliminate gigabytes of duplicate files and c) means that everything I do from here on out can feed into that system and constantly be neat and tidy!
In doing so I also formatted my old hard drive so that can be a backup and wiped my PC because it was playing up in weird ways so I'm completely cleaning house digitally!

But it's a big job. I've been working on it here and there for the last few weeks and I'm close to finishing the first phase - getting things into major project folders. The next step is to go into the project folders and organise those individually.

Because of this I haven't been doing a huge amount of work in this time but I should be getting back to it pretty soon.

I will be updating the SMASH 150 with the new characters that I haven't already drawn (four of them! My predictions are always so terrible) and I'll talk a little bit about my thoughts on the recent direct but it's not going to happen too soon. I am going to predict a final Smash Direct in October so I ought to try to get them done before then...maybe.

Thanks for reading!
