Magic Polygon

Hello all!

This is my third and final attempt at making an account on this site, as my last two were terminated without explanation. Though I believe I know what caused it, and I shall avoid those conditions while using this site from now on!

I decided to come back here after 5+ years due to a lot of crazy stuff happening. Twitter is about to explode, and DeviantArt is overrun by AI art. I figured that this site is the last one remaining for a hobby artist like me to share their work and interact with a community of like-minded people.

So, allow me to introduce myself!

I am Magic Polygon. My real name is Carlos Franco, as you will see on my art watermarks, but I respectfully ask that I be called by my username unless we are close friends. My pronouns are he/him/his. I am primarily a 2D digital artist, but I also do other types of art sometimes, such a 3D art, music, and possibly others.

My main interest is original character art, but I also do weapons and occasional environments. I'm really into scifi and fantasy, especially as an aspiring game designer. Speaking of which, I've got some game projects that I've been working on, which you'll also likely see posts about on here at some point!

SO... what can you expect to see on my blog? Artwork, both 2D and 3D, game project work, ramblings about the current state of art and the game industry, and other ramblings about whatever is on my mind at the time.

Monster chase! Run run run!

So, I made a simple horror game! No story, no explanation, you're just trapped in a dark maze with a vicious monster and you've got to escape. Find three keys hidden in chests and evade the monster as you explore, then look for the hidden exit hatch.

Honestly, the part that took longest while building this was the sprites for the player character. I reused assets from my main project for the map tiles and the monster sprites (which I will show a bit of in the second video I post). And then after that the hardest part was looking for sound effects and music... and getting them to play properly.
