If you’ve ever played The Behemoth’s Alien Hominid, Castle Crashers, Battleblock Theatre, or Pit People, you’ve seen the art of Dan Paladin. We had a fantastic opportunity to watch him sketch in real-time and discuss Alien Hominid Invasion’s development, game design, an unused Castle Crashers Terminator reference, and even some drawing tips,
