  • The Comic Book Aesthetic

    The Comic Book Aesthetic

    Since we first started working on Fingeance, I have had two personal goals in mind.

  • Evolution of Art

    Evolution of Art

    Oh boy, this post is going to be interesting. I am going to be showing off the evolution of art that Fingeance has had over the past year. I want to preface this by saying I didn’t really know how to make comic book art/ ink art digitally beforehand and didn’t know how to use…

  • Failed Concept Art

    Failed Concept Art

    This past week I have been working on some concept art that I alluded to last week, but I created some failed concept art instead… Before I get into it I haven’t really been able to work that much on them so is some leeway there, but that being said, I still failed pretty hard.…

  • The Gameplay of Fingeance; Or, Game Design for Guppies

    Hello folks! My name is Stephen McGregor, programmer/designer for this lovely game we call Fingeance. I like long walks on the beach, staring into someone else’s eyes, and creating obscene weapons capable of destroying massive mechanical machinations of mammalian megalomaniacs. Each week on Monday, I’ll give you some details into the mechanisms of Fingeance. My…
