spring is here and seeing all of the little flowers always makes me imagine there's little pikmin running around wherever i can't see

I think if there's one thing you can say very confidently about Alabaster Dawn it's that the crosscode team hasn't lost any of their talent for designing combat systems that look like a dance in motion

Reading comics and studying comics doesn't get you anywhere til you make your first, worst comic. Writing books and drawing pictures is not the same as writing or drawing comics and you don't learn how to do them until you do them badly.

Bip talks about Nedebug, the first sapient AI, and the nature of personhood. Six days left on the book Kickstarter btw: www.kickstarter.com/projects/iro...

「夏の抜け殻」

for an anon curious what my art looks like without the gradient map and texture. i actually never see my own work without those layers, i put those on before i ink and color so i always see what the final will look like.

"No ones defended this one" my brothers this is what made me like the style

Good afternoon from a sunny Ireland. Going to have a peek 👀 at the #BirdOfTheDay posts. I saw this guy flying by two hours ago. #birds #photography #ECK #EFGH #Egret

There's a similar story that @ramiismail.com tells about the development of Nuclear Throne. (It made it into my first book.) You have to balance your existing audience (the base) while casting the net as wide as is reasonable without sacrificing your vision.

The Scottish Tories dedicated themselves more to transphobia than anyone. They've been wrecked in Scotland, losing nearly two thirds of their seats. The Scottish Greens and LibDems stood in solidarity with trans people and doubled their seats. No major news outlet will comment on this dynamic.

I can't stop thinking about this video since I saw it last night

I want to say that don't afraid to make sketches like this when u commissioning from someone its makes work easier and closer to what u want from 🥰

................. does this editorial board ever get tired of looking like the most pathetic loser weenies on the planet or

incredible work, the most thin skinned people alive

> No account is suspended or removed without human oversight. there you have it. every trans woman banned by staff was manual and not automated. someone on the team decided that a woman complaining about being harassed for her rape was worth being banned for and sent that out as an email

The ice is starting to crack, and people are paying attention. See what @polygon.com and Videogame Zone! have to say about the Penguin Colony reveal 👇 Wishlist now to be ready for what’s beneath the ice: 🐧 bit.ly/PenguinColon...

The Seed Song

we used a credit card to pay for our electricity for april and now we have to pay off the card before interest piles up and kicks our asses 😅 would appreciate any help via comms!

"The Switch is so old," you all said. "I need better graphics," you demanded. "Wah wah," you cried. And now, you sit here before Slippy Toad, the slippiest he's ever been, slippier than a fucking banana peel under a kart wheel, all thanks to the raw power of the Nintendo Switch 2—and you reject him?

The reason for this is because I was talking about Tango. You all know Tango right. Mega Man's cat that debuts in Mega Man V, not to be mistaken with Mega Man 5. The only gb Mega Man game that isn't a retelling of a console counterpart.

This is what convinces me that trying to design to be super easy or accessible for its own sake is 100% fake. Make your resolution the way you want it to be, because people either WANT to learn it or don't, and groups are either okay with that or not.

The roundest! :3

Marketing and sales are normally held in low regard compared to engineering, but I 100% understand if a bunch of marketing guys just ran into the computer labs and started biting anyone and anything within reach.

this absolute king has been goofing off on the Internet for longer than most of you have been alive 🫡🫡🫡

You've seen "Holy shit! Two cakes!" so now take this energy with you into the new year and be whatever you wanna do #art

I had to tap into like. Every single thing I previously knew about armor to wrap my head around how to draw this asshole.

Seconding this frustration. The front page of Steam is bad. The algorithms are bad. The tagging system is bad. It's like trying to navigate a Walmart the size of a small city through an interface scaled for a mom-and-pop local store, and most people don't know how/why to dig beyond that screen.

I don't remember if I ever showed her here. Left is the raw commission and right is an edit I made. Lovely art my friend @rukachorus.itch.io <3

@rpgmaker.bsky.social is the real MVP.

Angela Morley had two careers, either one of which would be notable. Under her deadname she did the music for the Goon Show, Hancock's Half Hour etc and arranged Scott Walker's first four albums. Post-transition she worked in Hollywood and got three Emmys and an Oscar nomination.

#slaythespire2 Rounding out my STS series with Ironclad and Regent! Really pleased with how these all turned out.

This made me laugh
