🏮🐲 Happy Lunar New Year with Jade Dragon 💚🐔🦆🌸 [Fanart for the Crossy Road LNY update]!

First up I wanted to shout out/mention other HW artists/peeps:

• fancy Blender Crossy Road marketing art by another HW artist Brendon T!
• much kudos to the hard working HW dev: with design, management/business, programming, marketing & testing team for their huge part in making the update happen :0
• also Crossy Road Castle‘s Lunar New Year update going on too!
  • much kudos to the main Crossy Road Castle artist for his hard work: Kevyn Stott!
  • he took over the Castle main artist reigns completely from Snowpeak Palace onwards!
  • I really like what he did for the LNY update 😀
  • Design wise for Jade Dragon, it’s built upon Crossy Road Castle’s chibi dragon created by its main artist Kevyn Stott.
  • Brendon T did this cute night time Blender illustration for the event’s marketing art too with Alice Walsh’s direction!
  • For those new here I am not the main artist for Castle – I am an extra helper and do Castle’s background decorative assets for tower updates since the first tower and I also do the stickerbook doodles!
• much thanks to Sara for the marketing art scheduling and marketing planning shenanigans – I am honoured! :’D
• just finally, recently felt brave enough and reached out to check how I should credit artists who don’t mention HW nor have active socials and in case they need privacy :’)

Subtitled art process timelapse video!

Fanart for the Crossy Road Lunar New Year Jade Dragon character I helped make! For those new here, I am the Crossy Road voxel artist and made a lot of its game art assets on/off for a long time.

See the video for more details! I added things (mane, tail, holding a flaming pearl and lantern) beyond the voxel art in my fanart since I can have more fun with it in 2D haha

As mentioned in the video, this is fanart (since my blog signature is there and will post it on my own schedule)!

Jade Dragon, Mallard and Chicken flying high towards the new year! [official CrossyRoad tweet & insta]

Well since it’s the year of the dragon, of course I’m drawing the dragon I helped make for Crossy Road!

Meanwhile Chicken and Mallard are just resting and holding onto Jade Dragon’s body – towards the new year ahead! There’s less than 11 months left of 2024 – oh no time moving foward!

Again I don’t like how Glaze make my art look a little goopy and crusty – but I feel like I have to use it for social media posting now because there’s no protection otherwise on social media :<

Okay it’s 3 Lunar New Year posts this week :’) Yes this will be the last Lunar New Year piece but it won’t be the final dragon illustration I do!!

It is my Year of the Dragon and again I plan to draw more dragons this year! It’ll be dragons that I like, want to draw, seems to be on theme and/or resonate with! I don’t know how many I can manage though.

Also The Legend of Zelda Orchestra Concert [Nintendo Live 2024 TOKYO] and I guess Splatoon 3 Live Concert featuring Deep Cut [Nintendo Live 2024 TOKYO]

And I am not looking forward to the hot days in the coming week nooooo
