Picture of a MacBook with some stickers on them. Couple of cat ones, Olympia Lowlife one but newly added a 3D rendering of Mosslax from Pokopia and three little Hornet from Silksong poses. Art by Daniel Dutton.
This is a picture of the Digimon, Terriermon. He’s got big ears and I love him. I’m playing Digimon Story Time Stranger for the first time and am simply waiting for him.
A view of my solo dev projects title menu. We hit the “continue” button to enter our first layer of menu UI, and it’s paired with a calming glassy/water refraction blur that overlays and warps the former title screen. Every so often an intentional ripple sweeps across the title menu behind the first UI layer.
This is video of my passion project, Age of Etra (also known as [project AoE]). I lost a lot of progress with writing, visual direction, mocks and my first run at Godot earlier this year and have made a lot of progress. It’s a splash screen, a main menu with some fun menu stuff going on, when new game is selected a mysterious mask presents itself and prompts the player. Then the player becomes a jumping cube that can save its progress.
A picture of my tuxedo cat Peppermint, a little old lady cat enjoying the warm summer morning on the deck. She sits on a colorful rug with mint and a lemon tree behind her. Lots of green forest in the background.
Me holding up the e-ink notebook, SuperNote Nomad, outside in the sunlight. Sketched out the three pro-tags of my personal game dev project, Age of Etra (from right to left - Neth, Onion & 001137). A human in a mecha/jump suit missing their left forearm & right eye, a little creature that resembles a root or tuber with a big leaf and a robot with long hair that resembles an oni with six eyes.
I got to work on Forza Horizon 6. It’s a screenshot of the credits, for a portion of the Creative / Media team. I drew a little happy portrait of me sitting on a rough drawing of a Toyota Trueno 86 since the game is set in Japan.
A cat tower with cubbies and viewports for viewing. My cat, Peppermint, sticks her face put of one of the tiny holes to yell at you. Shes a tuxedo with a very unique splotchy pattern on her face. She looks like a gremlin going to give you a quest.
A picture of a Suzuki SV 650 (motorcycle) in the spring sunlight, picture has a big lens flare with a bit of rainbow. It’s parked in front of a house and on a drive covered in that PNW spring moss.
Trainer from Pokemon Lazarus (fan rom hack) encountering a shiny variant of Natu, a cute tiny bird Pokemon.
Revisiting an older work of mine by adding a lot more color. Illustration entitled “BRAVE” (‘25) It’s of a stone, cracked up bust of a crying woman, where real water streams down from the eyes. Her disembodied and fractured stone hand holds a purple wildflower growing from the palm. The color pallet is high vis yellow, red and blue with hints of purples and greens. Very bright, very colorful. Art / Illustration drawn in Procreate of iPad. Editorial styled. Stand alone portrait concept.
Early morning photo of a PNW rainforest in the winter. Morning sun is peaking through the trees and being caught by tree silhouettes and cold fog. Made a joke about good ray tracing happening here.
A weirdly cropped photo of the fan rom Pokémon Lazarus on the Miyoo Mini Plus. Highlighting my precious baby boy Mawile, Chopper.
Me holding my Miyoo Mini Plus running Parasite Eve (PS1/PlayStation 1). Parasite Eve is a Christmas / Winter Holiday game and you won’t convince me otherwise. The emulation console I’m using looks similar to a classic Game Boy, even with the off white shell and Favicom colors for buttons. It’s cute. Using a red blanket as a backdrop for cozy feels.
Picture of that “wizard who ponders” meme but he is pondering an orb with a chicken in it
Screen grab of the cover art of Castle Rat’s new album, The Bestiary. Song pictured is “WIZARD”. Artwork depicts a woman barbarism/warrior upon a unicorn in a desolate, foggy landscape with a wizard in the back ground. Idk what that guy is doing.
A character design sheet of the main character of my personal project, Age of Etra, Neth. A former mecha pilot, wearing a white plug suit, yellow rain-boots, missing her left forearm, hand and her right eye. She wears a bandage protecting where her eye once was. The re-doesn’t is focused on style more than the character this round. Her proportions are more balanced, but still fun and cartooning (big head, big hands). The sheet includes a couple facial expressions, and sketches of Neth through out her life, with differnt outfits and haircuts.
A WIP model of the main character of Age of Etra. Self teaching 3D sculpting, eventually texturing and rigging. Exploring all mediums for the game.
A character reference sheet from my indie projects (Age of Etra) main character, Neth, a former mecha pilot. It is designed to nail down character details, and shows front, back, right and left views.
The meme of Marge Simpson saying “I just think they’re neat” but she’s holding an illustration of ViVi Ornitier, by Toni Infante, for the Final Fantasy Magic: The Gathering card.
A UI mock up of the “STATUS” tab of the potential main menu for my project, Age of Etra. It’s has a simple sci-fi/frosted glass aesthetic that will overlap the world the characters are currently in. This screen shows the three characters, their levels, objective, game time & currency total. Along with potential tabs for other menus.
Concept art direction/world summary sketch of my passion game dev project Age of Etra [AoE]. It depicts the main character Neth, standing in the middle of a space observatory dome looking upon the surrounding galaxy and sun. Within the dome is a flourishing fields of greens, flowers and wisteria. There are accents of Liquid Metal and sci-fi tech. Drawn in Procreate on iPad.
Recording of the debut of my passion project, Age of Etra [project AoE] (Dev Room Demo v.01)! It starts with my studio logo (Calm Cactus Studios), followed by the title, key art and title menu fading in. The key art is of the main character, Neth, a former mecha pilot sleeping peacefully in grass and flowers. To the right is the game logo, “Age of Etra”, with an animated hover on “New Game” below it, along with “Settings” and “Exit” below the selection. “Pu by ARCA” is credited here as it’s my pick as the inspirational music for the future main theme of the game. All asses mad by me, Fern Roath. Made in the Gadot Game Engine (4.0)
A photo of the SuperNote nomad, showing concept art of some weapons and items for my personal game project (project AoE - Age of Etra). There’s art for a shovel, sword, nunchuck, bell ribbon, snake/ou robotics crown and a couple items like an Elixir and an earring. Indie game dev stuff and art stuff.
The winners podium at Moto American. First, second and third place winners for the “Super Hooligan” race and celebrating their placements.
Two super bike (1000cc+) racers taking a tight corner at Moto America. The track is so hot you can see the heatwaves distort the background behind the riders.
A blue Suzuki SV650 on the side of the road in a national forest, along side hundreds of purple foxgloves and white daisies.
A blue Suzuki SV650 (motorcycle) in front of a field of wild daises during sunset. Just a good vibe. Very golden, very calm.
Y’Shtola, Nights Blessed and Yuna, Grand Summoner alternative art cards from the Magic: The Gathering x Final Fantasy collab. Our first pulls a couple weeks ago still dead from it.
A tuxedo, black and white cat lays gracefully on the sill of a giant window that over looks a forest. She’s living the best life basking in the hot and sun and glowing in the warm colors. She’s framed by a bunch of little succulents pots and is looking smug and proud that she wedged herself in between them. She knows she’s serving.
Picture of a collection of quick sketches done on an e-ink tablet of my character, Neth, from a personal game project. Mostly depicting them in their battle-suit, in different miniature to full scale styles. Drawn on the e-ink tablet, Supernote Namad.
Close up of a vividly red Rhododendron bush, the composition also has gaps that part deep into the bush and look like dark basins that balance out the red nicely.

It’s the Wolverine meme of him in his full superhero outfit in bed looking at a picture.
A blue Suzuki SV650 motorcycle basking in the PNW spring sun, with a backdrop of stone walls, moss and big cedar trees. It has a custom decal on the tail that says “SuziB” in white, AKA Suzie BLUE like it’s named like a JoJo Bizarre Adventure Stan

Picture of a tuxedo cat (Peppermint/Pepper) sleeping soundly and all cozy like inside a box, surrounded by toys and “cat trash”. She is very soft, you can trust me.
