The Hurricane and The Taskmasters

It's All About It

Having it gives you security Abusing it makes you dangerous Walking alone with someone who has it is great but it becomes uncomfortable when they start reminding you that they've got it but you don't Some people use it impulsively to relieve stress but some people end up using it compulsively,destructively Our government was formed to make sure that the government would never take it away but in modern times the government is constantly taking it away and they use what they take irresponsibly In the end the person who has the most of it is the one with the most say What it is, well don't you know? It can be one or the other Both called h

Mister Wall

“Honestly! I hardly think you need more than one sandwich, Gracie!” “But Mom! I'm really hungry! Please?” “Alright, fine! But this week we are talking to you about your diet, young lady!” Gracie took her two tuna fish sandwiches, wrapped them in foil, and threw them into her bright green backpack. She darted out the door and across her front yard, before tripping on the sprinkler. Right as her face hit the sidewalk, her backpack landed at the bright red sneakers of Evan Meyers. “Looks like Spacy Gracie fell on her facey!” Evan jeered to nobody in particular as he snatched up Gracie's backpac

My Bio

My name is William Holly and I like to create things.

When I was very young I spent a lot of time interested in video games, biology books, and comics. As I grew up I started making my own games and writing short stories on the computer and I spent most of my time in middle school and high school drawing characters and monsters and settings for my stories and games.

Nowadays I still have a lot of interest in digital art, drawn art and video games though I don't write as much as I used to. I have somewhat odd drawing habits that probably add to the uniqueness of my art.

I hope people can find something that they either love or hate about the art that I upload here. I love constructive criticism and I thoroughly enjoy seeing how people react to what I draw.

Video Game Concept Art

Hey!  For those of you who don't know, I've been in the game dev business for several years now.  My buddy Gabe and I started up a blog where we debate design methods and my first featured post was uploaded today.  It's called Drawing Your Game From Nothing and it's all about my process of using concept art.  Check it out: http://www.duelingdevblogs.com/2017/02/drawing-game-from-nothing-concept-art.html Here's some sneak peaks:

I'm always working on stuff, I just rarely post it anymore.  Has dA moved on without me?  Who here would be interested in seeing some of my recent stuff?
