For a while, I hit a massive creative wall trying to adapt Princess Shroob into a certain platformer fighter style and had to put her on ice. Out of nowhere I had the urge to try again, and it clicked by simply following this: don't overcomplicate it.

I still have this saved to this day- giftart that @sketchmii.bsky.social made for me! IT'S SO GOOD

I’m currently exploring my options for some upcoming storyboard revisions for a fan project cinematic! I’m not looking to start the work immediately, but I'd love to connect and start a conversation! If you're interested, please email me your portfolio and rates: [email protected].

There was one point where I made holiday/festive splash screens for a video game called "Shotgun Farmers"! It's been a hot minute since I made a full illustration like this, but still fond of them!

Alaskan duality That is a real bear claw btw!!

Life is beautiful

Making Lord Crump in 3D for something most would not expect from me LOL

For fun, I was developing an AU that’s inspired by Invincible. The “Viltrimites” are made up of different species that all want a wish that is forbidden from Star Road. The Dark Star Elder promises to grant it- with a catch. It’s a good excuse to see how my guy would be evil LOL

I don’t have really much to show for Mario 64’s anniversary, but have this old digital painting I did of one of the level portraits! It was also used as a test for SMO texture importing when tools were first being made!

Bringing back some of my favorite exploration pieces I did for fun of one of my favorite games #banjokazooie #fanart

Two of the best things I ever got for myself to make things cozy: this animated night light with different color settings and this star constellation blanket that glows in the dark

Got gifted this recently from @seanhicksart.bsky.social and I can’t stop gushing. To be held like this… ♥️🥹 #fawful #jolligig

FUTUREEEE FUTURREEEEEEE

Giftart by @thornstormenta.bsky.social of our sonas, Prism and Shean, just geeking out about art!! :) She made it quite some time ago, but it still makes me happy!

One fun thing about my beansona being able to flex now is that I can try to summon Wario Land with any foretold Nintendo Direct How silly of me

The cloak is very much a wip, but it is fun to show how I check proportions as I work on translating a character with a distinct background like this! There isn't much official art, so the sprites help!

Added context :) #customfighter

If you know, you know

I will actually- thank you :]

Celebrating MAR10 day with well..posting my beansona! Working with @sequenceerase.bsky.social for this SM64 mod of myself is what drove me to finally make a model sheet!! Who knows what other Mario game styles he'll appear in the future :) And what outfits he'll be wearing too!

Every time I get to model a prop for a texture to stay true to the artstyle, I feel like the world's most clever genius (character and illustration belong to @seanhicksart.bsky.social!!) #sm64coopdx #blender #lowpoly #beanish #modding

My friends at work made me a birthday cake today 🥹 I was even sang happy birthday I feel so loved; I am thankful for how gentle and kind people are to me..

It's like I'm on a different planet out here

Sorry that I’ve been MIA for a long time now. I’m now working in the artic in Alaska- doing a lot of physical work for a big project out here! The free housing, food, and learning experiences here have allowed me to sort of rebuild myself- to finally get ahead financially, mentally, and physically.

WE STARTED THE ALCAN HIGHWAY @faffreux.bsky.social

So @faffreux.bsky.social and I got some Poutine as we make our way through Canada to the job site in Alaska. We’re about to destroy this LOL

New windows background just dropped #roadtrip

"Quote a title screen important to you" These make up my DNA

I eat a lot of salmon, and I sleep a lot. It only made sense for it to be this animal for my next sona. #wip

Recently I’ve been getting into custom Magic Cards to get back into an art groove again! Here is one I made of Gruntilda! I’ll be making her sisters next! #Banjokazooie

I loved this too much to not show how it looks animated ITS BEAN ME :D

A Christmas gift for a special bean. Now kissth @faffreux.bsky.social #jolligig #fawful #christmasgift

Just two silly beans out on a stroll @faffreux.bsky.social #fawful #jolligig

𝗬𝗘𝗔𝗛 𝗖𝗛𝗜𝗟𝗜 𝗗𝗢𝗚𝗦 I love this so much omg My beansona literally said “gotta go fast” in the 2nd image

The details it gave me for mine made me smile 🥹

Before I wiped out most of my twitter, this was by far the most popular I posted

I've made a starter pack for old members of pixeltendo. If I missed you or any other members, let me know! go.bsky.app/4p6fuVV

Here is the model I made of Midbus! A character from the video game 'Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story', in the art direction of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It was made as a player cosmetic for a video game mod!! #supersmashbros #marioandluigirpg

What’s Popplin? :D Here’s a sculpt I made of Popple- making fun expressions in Zbrush with layers

Some work in progress shots of the Fawful model I’m working on 👀 My perfectionism knows no bounds LOL

FALL IS MY FAVORITE TIME OF THE YEAR, and I'm so happy to celebrate it with my Beanbean besties 🍂 🫘 (feat. @faffreux.bsky.social )

A good way to use this video feature for the first time! BRINGING BACK PUMPKIN BANJO FOR HALLOWEEN 🎃 I made the model + texture assets while the animation + video was done by ColossalCake and ArtsyOmni!

The game-bite of the pumpkin transformation from Banjo-Kazooie that was made for Curiomatic! I hope to make more game-bites in the future!

Lots of new peeps here!! hello!🙂 I’ll be posting again soon, just been on a hiatus in general

Some figurines I worked on that were shown recently online and at an event! You scan them to your phone, and other devices, to download a digital comic. Not sure when they'll be available, but still was a lot of fun nonetheless!

This was such a fun boss to design for the video game, Shotgun Farmers; I'm glad to see him make his debut in this winter season update! Everyone did such a great job for this update! Happy holidays!

The game-bite of the pumpkin transformation from Banjo-Kazooie that was made for Curiomatic! I hope to make more game-bites in the future!
