Ambient Visual: Hexagon Array

I was working in Blender on my next game (more info to come) and loved the wire-frame view of an object so much that I decided to take it into Photoshop and play around with it a bit. Many many layers and tweaks later, this is the final image. Click on the image to see the full size artwork.

“Chomper”, my New Prototype Art Toy // Fluorescent Pink Designer Toy

Fluorescent pink designer toy - resin bunny - art toy

This is my prototype art toy called “Chomper.”

I hope to make a resin version of these little guys in the next couple of months. These little creatures make an appearance in my upcoming iPhone game Missile Monkey, which is in its final stages of development. The camera doesn’t really capture the pink accurately. I am using an eye popping fluorescent pink that shows up much brighter in person. I hope you like Chomper!

The Dock – A Moody Environment in Unity3D

I have always been mesmerized by the foggy cold of seaside environments. I created this piece as a living painting to share the feeling of calm mystery that the ocean brings me. It is a small space that you can move around in and soak up the moody atmosphere. Enjoy!

Custom Android Set

One of my amazing fans commissioned these 5 droids after discovering my work in an art show at United State in Sacramento. This was my first time customizing droids — they have very workable surfaces to paint on.

New Surreal Art Piece – “Grey World”

Grey World - a surreal image by Josiah Munsey 26:PM

I was inspired to create this image after viewing some amazing architectural works. I suspect that other recent visual influences include Portal 2, Minecraft, and Sword & Sworcery. This image comes from hope nestled deep in my soul.

Seems like I would have heard this quote before, but I haven’t… not till today: “Real artists ship.” -Steve Jobs

I love it.

My Dad and I are making great progress on our iPhone/iPod touch game and have been spending the last month creating levels. I am about to dive into the creating the final level environment for the game. Excited.

Viking Monkey all up in my Sketchbook, or, Why I’ve Been Missing in Action

Hey peoples, friends, family, fans. The reason my beautiful blog has been so horribly neglected is that I have spent the last month and a half quickly packing up our life.  We have relocated to sunny Orlando, where I just started my new video game job as a World Builder at a wonderful company called n-Space. But do not worry, I am back and will continue to post new stuffs. Here are my sketches for the enemy: Viking Monkey, Viking Gorilla, or some other name, still deciding.
