So I pledged $10 to a fellow Patreon artist last night. His named is Ray Dillon and I briefly chatted with him the day I set up my own Patreon page. He seemed like a fellow worth pledging because he genuinely seems to want to help other artists.

I have some other games lined up already, including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Guardian Legend, Mega Man, and Crystalis. All games I grew up playing and would love to show them some love by painting (to the best of my ability) some title screens and/or some in-game screenshots. We’ll see how this one turns out. Any idea what game this is? Here’s a hint; It’s Blaster Master!
