Gormlessly watching my thread fill with elf facts now

I am excited to have learned a new word and am dreaming up ways to incorporate it into my daily vocabulary! The word is "Gormless"! Amazing word!

Artemis II's wee red floaties

My software engineer had a discussion with me about whether we were including weather systems in our game and we were both like 'Nah' Fast forward to today and...on our little tropical island, there are now weather systems! (+overly-cautious epilepsy warning!) #gamedev #animation #lightning #art

Hello new followers! If you're bored and like free webcomics, here's mine! It's a complete short story about a ruined world full of alternative energy...and magic doom eels. (Includes detailed transcripts on every page) amphiox.hmcgill.art/comic/amphio... #webcomics #amphiox #comics #indie

I had a request for a "Bug" based on open source reference photos...so have a Carabus auronitens! I used research-grade photos by Ludivine Lamare to figure out how the iridescence and anatomy worked. www.inaturalist.org/observations... #art #sciart #nature #bug #beetle #invertebrate #animal

Cute analytics: The plays on Tittivillus Teaches Typning tend to spike on weekdays, which indicates people are playing this at work, lol

I think I could get into the habit of daily-ish animal studies like this, if people wanted them! (Would also be open to volunteered free-to-use shots if there are any indie nature photographers out there who don't mind me selling the resulting art) #art #sciart #animal #cute #nature

I'm well aware that elephants cannot jump, but you've never seen a living woolly mammoth in the first place so don't even get started on scientific accuracy here Character from my game about animals who...jump! On a volcano! #gamedev #art #paleoart #pleistocene #indie

One thing I would like to do is to get into daily-ish posting of individual critters again, but as a larger project Had the idea of drawing cartoony reconstructions of all known fossils from Pre-cambrian to today, maybe make a calendar or coloring book project out of it

Hmm. Has anyone seen the woolly mammoth around lately? All I can find is this weird new bush made out of giant extinct ginkgo leaves in the yard Considering a ginkgo is a type of tree and not a bush, this is especially weird #gamedev #sciart #art

Saw this tag, wondered if this was okay to add? #wildflowerhour

Little spectral baby versions of the four gods in my volcano game. Hatching magic eggs on the board releases one of these to help you (via complete chaos, as a dinosaur hatchling would, but it IS help, nonetheless!) #gamedev #dinosaur #art #digitalart #paleoart

I should draw one of my characters wearing JNCOs

So who else read the latest Adobe email and then turned and looked directly at the viewer, in the style of The Office

Is Adobe's endgoal really to stop people from, you know, drawing? In their ART programs?

Welp, time to make a bonkers weirdo portfolio website layout design that nobody in their right mind would ever commission, to respectfully indicate that nobody should commission me to design websites

Surprise indie game drop! Tittivillus Teaches Typning is the ultimate educational* typing game, perfect for if you're a 12th century monk trying to get his fancy manuscript in time to please a grumpy abbot! *not #gamedev #indie #medieval #art #game #gaming #itch #demon chromokun.itch.io/typning

My least favorite thing about competitive board games is when I lose, I don't get to keep playing In my volcano roulette game, players who get knocked out come back as horrible lava ghosts. You're down, but not out! #Gamedev #animal #horror #art #character

My brain: I wish there was a game I was familiar with and wanted to play some more, as like, a comfort thing. It'd be nice if it was like Hades Also my brain: How about Hades 2? My brain: No!! That's scary and new!

Which animal would you be? Pinta Island Tortoise, Dodo Bird, Woolly Mammoth, or Thylacine? (These are all the player characters in my game about playing roulette on a volcano!) #gamedev #art

Putting the finishing touches on this digital landscape art for the victory screen in my volcano game I don't have any more landscapes left to paint for the game and I honestly feel lost -- is this artistic separation anxiety lol #gamedev #art #landscape #digitalart #indie #purple #sunset

Ahh! What a beautiful day to get ripped apart by sundering lava blasts and searing ash falls Some painting work for the character select screen on my volcano roulette game #gamedev #art #landscape #tropical

One of the gods in my volcano game is a brachiosaurus. It looks intimidating but was one of the easiest gods to rig in Spine2D, by virtue of being a head on a stick It also has (objectively) the funniest T-pose of all the gods #Gamedev #art #madewithspine #dinosaur #indie #digitalart #Spine2D

Hello #PortfolioDay! Come play some little games I developed as the artist with my software engineer spouse! (Can be played in-browser with no download required.) Also be on the lookout for our next game about extinct animals and a volcanic roulette board. chromokun.itch.io #Gamedev #Indie #art

Retouched one more old comic with fresh new colors, more weird stuff, and I have also ultimately decided I enjoy drawing eyes If said eyes are shamelessly faux-anime then so be it, this is my beautiful hole; I dug it for myself and I'm not climbing back out #comic #memoir #webcomic #writing #art

Redid this comic depicting a moment from early in the pandemic. It's based on a real conversation we had, although the cashier might not have been this hairy, exactly! Mostly adjusted the colors to be brighter and the background to have more depth #comic #memoir #indie #webcomic #animal #bear #art
