Okay, still WIP but very close to completing the upgrades evolution. The first image shows everything at level 0, before your canon and lasers are even installed. I'm going to strip down even more details, like the striping, and incorporate them into some of the upgrades.

Ice Cream Van
Cruisin' along with ice cream dreams.
It's been a long time since I've done a pixel_dailies. The theme 'IceCreamVan' sounded light hearted and that's just what I need at the moment. I always put so much pressure to evolve and grow my art that I get a bit lost sometimes. The casual unscript...

Yo! Got some more progress on the upgrades. This shows the first few visual changes to the Focus drive, which is incorporated into the engine just behind the canon. Focus is a special ability that allows you to slow time around you while you remain fast. Very handy for evasion, or chasing down an...
