SPAWN #1 30th Anniversary - Sketch Cover
It's amazing that it's been 30 years since Todd McFarlane published his creator-owned comic SPAWN. Todd's unique style influenced me a lot at the time. For this reason there is my own SPAWN version for the 30th anniversary of SPAWN and Image Comics... ;) Congrats Todd! If you want to know how my cover drawing came about, you can watch the MAKING OF video in timelapse. CLICK HERE! #spawnsketchcover

New Nintendo Switch Kids Game(s)
Just in time for the summer and holiday season there will be some new Nintendo Switch games from McPeppergames. The new Ocean Animals Puzzle is available for pre-order now and will be available to download from the e-shop from June 2nd. If you want to choose from all previous McPeppergames Nintendo Switch titles, then check out the children's games at the following link: https://www.nintendo.com/search/?q=macpeppergames&p=1&cat=gme&sort=df As far as my comic projects go, these days I'm more busy writing projects when my gaming job allows it. But so that drawing doesn't come off badly, I've also set aside time to practice my figure drawing, which unfortunately has been somewhat neglected in recent years. More on that shortly. :)

Another day in the office...
The current temperatures of 30 degrees invite you to move your work outside. Said and done! Just poured a glass of wine and let's go... today's program: The further development of the story of my comic projects. Two projects that are currently in development and will be printed in 2023 and another project that I am currently developing the rough plot for. A great change from the game developer everyday life!

Nintendo Switch KIDS Bundle available!
I don't like the new Batman movie...
- Completely rob Batman of his humanity that he doesn't seem to care about a woman's corpse.
- At the same time giving him disturbing human stalker traits when it comes to Catwoman.
- Don't let him, as the "world's greatest detective", solve any riddles without outside help.
- Portray his butler Alfred as more intelligent than Bruce Wayne.
- Move on a story not by intelligent decisions of characters but instead by coincidence (or decisions of the villains)
- Make a film visually beautiful, but then not put the same effort into STORY.
- Make all characters act superficial and stupid.
Surely there are many out there who think the film is good... there's no
other way to explain the film's good rating. But I think with every entertainment project STORY should come first which is not the case with this film.
Especially if the film was preceded by great Batman films just a few
years earlier, such as Batman Begins or The Dark Knight who did work on so many levels. Just my two cents.
