for whatever reason the specific website where I'm most likely to check on it after a while and see that the follower count has gone down is twitch dot tv

Ko-fi Members Post: some info on one of my main current game ideas, plus a small playable prototype ko-fi.com/post/Game-De...

my toolbelt is lacking some tools so it's time to just grab a dozen completely different gamemaker inventory system tutorials and see how they amalgamate in my soul

Ko-fi Members Post: some info on one of my main current game ideas, plus a small playable prototype ko-fi.com/post/Game-De...

learning about cocktails lately and convincing myself it's so that one day i will invite all my internet friends to my house and make them each a Queen's Park Swizzle

I just created a "Monthly Membership Tier". There's nothing there yet. But if you are willing to pledge "One Ko-fi Per Month", you will be able to see some exclusive things... soon!!! ko-fi.com/post/KO-FI-M...

I don't shill my Ko-fi much (because it doesn't offer anything) but I recently made a big post talking generally about the different stuff I'm working toward right now. In case you were curious where the money would go. Or what all those characters are even for ko-fi.com/post/THE-NIK...

playing vido game with my friend

I gotta make a little game inspired by karnov. not necessarily the exact gameplay of karnov. but it needs to have karnov energy

At a certain point I may have to admit and accept that I do not have a healthy relationship with the Street Fighter 6 ranked queue. That point will be after I get Alex to master

in gamedev if I want to make topdown movement smooth and modern it takes 7 seconds but if I want it to feel -exactly- like a 30 year old RPG I have to solve a 3 hour coding puzzle. and you know I love puzzles

Because it was the third post in a text thread, nobody read it

seeing a new and bizarre "digital art is not real art" sentiment popping up around bsky and as someone who spent 99% of my life working exclusively with paper, pen and pencil I would like to say: that is fucking stupid

Niko News Update: haven't drawn anything because I was unwell for a while and also started Diversifying My Creative Endeavours which mostly means I started re-learning coding so I could get back into gamedev after many years of forgetting everything

Canonically eats batteries [ #art, #oc ]

(writing with quill) dear google, how do I let my friends and colleagues know I want to collab with them on game projects without being too obvious

"Танець між закоханими" An older piece of Onufry and Drahomira in a Carpathian dance, inspired by Ukrainian artists like Edvard Kozak, Nadiya & Roman Fedyna, and @yuliiabahniuk.bsky.social. That shepherd's axe is a real Hutsul variant called a bartka.

At this point, "Gooner" is literally the modern version of "degenerate" in terms of how it is levied against both artists and people who consume art, and we need to start treating it as such

I am physically unable to play fighting games as much as I'd like but have a psychological need to engage with them. do any oomfies need a curmudgeonly but ultimately good hearted coach

sometimes I dont have enough enrichment so I start drinking my tea with the spoon

I don't think any developer should add any guest character to a fighting game ever again unless it is Karnov

that's... today.....!!!!! please say 100 nice thing about me and share all my works relentlessly

thank god they're adding a character with big boobies to street fighter 6. too bad I have to wait until spring next year to play him

I heard it's Clown Week. That last drawing was just a coincidence. I guess my birthday always takes place during Clown Week, but that's also a coincidence. Well, I never draw new things just for events, but, frankly, you're never totally safe from seeing something clown-like around here anyway

you might find this tough to come to terms with, but it's my birthday on monday. and, honestly? I don't think there's anything you can do to stop it

my creature was missing a few parts but I couldn't bear to send it back [reupload, May 2024] #nikoart

one of my favourite video game tropes is "Fight My 5 Weird Guys". it's when someone has 5 weird guys and you fight them. Metal Gear is one of the kings of fight my 5 weird guys. it doesnt HAVE to be 5 guys but that feels right to say, spiritually. do you have a favourite fight my 5 weird guys?

clankety construct. utterly unfinished sketch, but I couldn’t say no to that face #nikoart

unexciting colouring but the design fucking kills imo

reposting the coloured digital pics today

thought about this one; I colour things so rarely but I liked this a lot

it was so freeing when I realized that despite the digital medium having so many tools and methods I could use to clean up rough sketches I could just ignore them

i feel like my art and characters have gotten "cooler" and I'm happy with that but right now I'm lamenting that I'm trying to draw something goofier for a project and really struggling

bluesky liked the lizardy girl more but tumblr likes the scorpion girl more. in case you wanted some data points

need an oomfie to sit in the park and play ancient old man board games with

it's good that bsky has gotten bigger and much more active but it does make me feel like I gotta return to the old post-bump-bump routine I had before

get you a girl with Toxins #nikoart
