Rusted!
$111 per month
I'm start working with art. Not with a pixel-art. Not with animation of this pixels. The real post-apocalyptic art. Darkest. Passionate. Saddest. Mm-m... Wasted? Rusted!
First rock!
$300 per month
First large and detailed work, of those I did for Wasteland 2 Kickstarter campaign. Many of gamers claim that old fashion works would be better for post-apocalyptic lovers. I miss for giant artworks which I can fill by little details, messages and hard amount of RUST!
On the edge of the week
$700 per month
Will be good, gain a full-time week for nonstop creation process. Unfortunately I have no chance to do this now, because I am full-time freelancer. I can't care about lot of my kids as independent artist. Even one week give you (and me) a lot of unique rusty stuff!
Massive tutorial attack
$1,000 per month
I hire professional translators for translating existing articles and start the new cycle of articles dedicated pixel-art creation, step by step animation, developing 3D content for games (modeling, backing, texturing), hints, tricks - other words, I'm describe all things that I learn for 15 years gamedev working. It will be good - share my experience. At least one large article (in few parts) in month.
Half of the world
$1,400 per month
Two weeks non stop art voyage? I can only dream about this chance. Only you, rust and I am, as guider in space of abandoned rusty worlds. If be honestly - this remind me unreachable rusty dream.

About

I am painter, indie-developer which drowned in last two of my games. I love post-apocalyptic genre so, that ready to live as hermit. In the rusty house, without food and clean water. In fact, all it already happen. But it does not bother me. I just want to do everything that connected with the genre.

Hello Adventurers and Patrons! My name is Andrey, also known as Weilard. I'm ex game-developer, but... still artist. I make a lot of game-content everyday. Because full time freelancer. Most of all I love draw. I love create all things which lies near fields of game-development. Sketches, art, posters, game assets, pixel-art and pixel-art animation. Unfortunately, exactly on the art I have no time. My customers don't like my art. Too dark. To depressive. Non casual. That is why I'm here. Asking your help. 

First of all. You can see my art & other works here to evaluate me fast:

Let's start a meets. I want share to You some of my artworks. It will little bit better than my scrap-explanations on the scrap version of english. I apologize for this inconvenience. By the way, If You need to hurry, or if You already scared by my language - just look at the pictures, and jump down like on elevator - to Post-Scriptum. This will save Your time and You will not be angry at me at the end.


I love rusty things, because I love to watch how dying structures which was created by humans and love life of old things, how years change people stuff. I think that oldness - real picture of life. I love draw this. 


I'm crazy about games and games stuff. My industry - is my breathing. I can't stop thinking about development, and about incredible game-worlds which born every day. When I want to say my thanks to developers - I draw the posters. For indie-developers, for giant game elephants. No matter for who. I love all which have a soul. Hm-m-m... yes. I love Supernatural tv-show too. You don't like Crowley and old rock bands?! AC/DC? Or maybe you don't like Norman Reedus?


Every morning, evening, even at night I'm do concept-art, drawing and scribbles of something. I'm forget the speech, very rare leave my shelter, but I'm write and still speaking via images. I think that is language too. We can talk with You. Not now, little bit later, because I afraid that already tired You by this image walls. So, next station is pixel-art, game-assets and my short flame pitch.

I so love games, that one day I was fired because I forgot to do my job. Too carried away when created fan-art for one game. It was Wasteland 2. Kickstarter campaign. Hell days. I do it just for fun, for entertain observers, like a want to do here. With your help.
I do not regret about firing. Because the fans of the game have received more than a 50 unique images. Below you can see collage of reasons of my firing. Posters, "postcards", sketches, humoristic pictures.


It was a good time. Real atomic pleasure. Everyday letters, lots of comments, feedbacks, really fun and incredible Kickstarter show. Sometimes I want it back. Passion. Emotion.

Short shot about pixel-art. Usual I create animations like this (this is incomplete sample). I want to create interactive cover box as dedication to Bethesda and upcoming Fallout 4 game. For gamers and for fun.




But also I do 24 framed animations which lead us to the roots of game-industry. Probably you remember legendary games - Prince of Persia, Flashback, Another World? One of the memorable moments was animation of heroes. In old times developers use for this rotoscoping technology. I use for same things - my hands and my pen. Just take a brush and start pushing pixels. Result you can see bellow.




By the way. I can help you with your pixel-art. I write articles about game-development and about researching game content. Currently only on russian. You can see how I use the beautiful english language. That is why I can't translate this articles fast, it's take a time, and cash for hiring professional translators, because I write articles as little books. With examples. Humor and jokes. But.. I always can give advice and help with some of aspects of creation of animation. Me and You - we speaking on the language of images, remember? Have no language barriers if we speak on this international language.

Another one thing I love to do. Games! In free time (which I didn't have) I do little games. Last of this games looks like a charming retro adventure, which can remind you... I can't voice this holy name here. I hear that many of people can do anything, but cannot voice specific names. Like word "Scrolls" for example. Just because horrible monsters of business world, also known as Lawyers, can wake up! 




And of course I dream about big games like this (see bellow). When I have a week for the work on this games - I think that I am happy. This is a rare happiness. But it's happens. 




What was it, Harry?! Little demonstration I love to do everyday. I'm try to be a short and look what we have? Shortness - never was my virtue. Sorry for this, dear citizens of Patreon.

We can archive all previous text in something short, flame pitch - I love games, and love game-industry. I love make art, game-art, pixel-art and games. I want share all of this for You, and give You all of my experience which I collected for 15 years working in game-industry.

I want share you my new art, telling the stories about game-dev, make a short tutorials and show you how interesting - create different things. Of course Patreon citizens is high-priority task. You recieve all art first of all of this world. Together we can create many amazing things. From the dark post-apocalyptic artwork to funny pixel-art animation dedicated for gaming events, games and You.

Why I am here & why Patreon? Because I think that I can find here people who also love post-apocalyptic genre, games, and game content. Maybe here I can draw and create different and interesting stuff. Not like customers want, because I'm tired from pink casual stuff. But as Art deserves. As You deserve. Only content which will created in love, with attention to details and with full freedom.

And I cannot do it alone. Without Your help. Only You can do this.

What I propose? 
  • Different Art every month (in future number of artworks will be increased)
  • "Rusty Life" pictures dedicated post-apocalyptic genre.
  • Pixel-art & animations.
  • Art Scavenger Book    
  • Access to "behind the scene" of game development process in my studio. You can see things that never will published. 
  • Tutorials (in future, because need a lot time)

P.S. 
So... Short debriefing of short resume. I tell less that I want to say. You can see I write a lot, in vain attempt to describe in one moment a lot of things. I have account on Twitter, Facebook. I'm try to be a social. But I'm old dog. Two weeks ago I bought first smartphone in my life. It was a stress. Now I have Instagram. But you know what I really want say to this? Maybe you remember guy named Roger Murtaugh, and what he said in same situation, - I'm too old for this shit!

I mean, - I love to do something old fashion ways. Patreon is good place to do it. With incredible community. Like a little home where I can post and create art and things which will be created with sense of something old. With respect to the roots. To our gaming past.

Thanks for your time and patience. It's alot for me.
