If you'll indulge me, I took a lot of photos while playing Jedi Survivor (worth dying in the process sometimes), and these are some of my favorites. I tried to put some effort into making them fairly cinematic, and a few of them get there I think.

Do you sell prints of any of the Pokémon? I would really like to get a print of the Archen on a roadsign?

I do! Thanks for asking. They can be found here: https://www.inprnt.com/gallery/jacobkuddes/

Working Joe & Big Chap (2020) | Still one of my favorite pieces I've done, and Alien Day seems like a good time to throw it on here. Was definitely going for a Sachin Teng vibe. I've drawn xenomorphs so many times (especially at one of my previous jobs) that I'm still kind of burned out on them. Case in point, I tried drawing one this morning and tossed it. Maybe Romulus will bring the spark back.

Thanks again to everyone who picked this up! After a year and change of radio silence, you have no idea how happy it makes me that you and others are reading this. If you enjoyed it, and don't mind, a good rating on Gumroad would be beneficial too!

I am not a confident salesperson, and I know you're constantly being asked this kind of stuff, so again...please know how much I appreciate your support!

If you like kaiju and mecha, read the first book in my MODERN CARAPACE series: O Bounty Of Thy Ribs. This 72-page graphic novel is the story of Esther, a park ranger who pilots the Tarantula Hawk, a prototype mecha, and uses it to protect desert-dwelling insectoid kaiju from poachers.

Shadow Warrior (2023)

I reworked this four or five times last year, never quite satisfied with it. I might have to add some clones to it later.

Pokémon Wilderness Project (2021-2023)

Inspired by going for runs in the spring and summer, playing Pokemon Go as I went. Really just enamored with the idea of encountering Pokemon but leaving them be. At some point I'm going to do more of these (most of which were drawn on Post-it notes) and collect them in a book.
