![]() SU was originally started shortly after it was released. We even had them at the $20 level when we started out, lol! I made Bend or Break as a test to try out a Visual Novel style game and it went a lot better than I could have hoped. Originally, they were mostly an afterthought. I had messed around with programming and Unity for years and wanted to try to do games on the side. I never thought it would be as successful as it has been all these years. Akabur was leading the way back then and I think a lot of people go into it because of his example. (He pretty much covered it in his bio post.)Īfter that business venture, when I came back to drawing, I noticed Patreon starting to become popular and thought it was finally a great way for an artist to do what he wanted to do and make enough money to do it. At one point Smokeshank and I decided to try to start a business, which was fun but ended up failing. I received a bunch of offers to join pay sites and tried working as a commission artist for a short time. Over time I got a large following, though I would usually drop out for long stretches when I was still trucking. Eventually I started to post stuff online rather than just see it rot away on my computers. I mostly tried to work on drawing people and ended up doing hentai stuff mainly because it was the hardest version of anatomy. ![]() I still use the same tablet to this day and will probably continue to do so till it finally dies. Somewhere around 2003-2004 I bought my graphics tablet and started to work on digital drawing in Photoshop. While trucking, I still built my own computers and kept up with them in my free time. Most of it I enjoyed, but it can also be a tough job tied to strict deadlines. I started trucking with my dad since most of my family is truckers and it's easy work to do. I come from the Canadian country side where everyone is either a farmer, trucker or logger. I went on to work jobs that I was mostly neutral to and that were physical-labor intensive. I switched my focus to computers, but the schools were comically behind on technology, so I just dropped out. Once I got to Highschool though, I realized that a job in art would just mean drawing things I didn't care about for other people. I started drawing when I was little, won a lot of competitions growing up and even went to a private art school for a year or two. I do like the game work a lot because I can switch between drawing, programming and writing. Smokeshank taking care of almost everything else allows me to focus on just working. Those who’ve been here for a long time know I used to do pics and comics as well but scaled back to mainly just games. As many of you likely already know, I do all the work on SU myself, from the art to the coding.
