After dealing with a week long cold, I’m back to working on the Crash 30th art challenge, with the big bad Cortex up next! Also was going to do a background but I was having a hard time. #CrashBandicoot

Doodling at work practicing Crash characters for the art challenge, also because I love Crash Bandicoot. #CrashBandicoot

I decided to do an art challenge this year. Since it’s Crash Bandicoot’s 30th anniversary, I’m going to draw as many Crash characters as I can. Starting the show off with the marsupial hero himself! #CrashBandicoot

Christmas gift for @johndarealboy.bsky.social #art #digitalart #characterdesign

Going forward I’ll be posting my art more on Instagram and here and just use Twitter for games news related stuff. Because man after hearing the new ai image editor thing, nah I’m done over there.

Commission I did for @katherineart.bsky.social

Actually enjoyed Metroid Prime 4. It got flaws, but I like the game!

If you can, support this dude! He’s an incredible guy!

Hello! I'm opening these back again! I'm looking to raise a bit extra to get through the holidays, so if you're interested and are willing to help, it'd be greatly appreciated!

32 years around the sun.

I was ill prepared for this challenge lol. But seriously though, I love this game! #kirbyairriders

In all seriousness, fuck ai, fuck Activision, and fuck Microsoft. Seriously tired of this bullshit.

Thanks to Donkey Kong Bananza, I’ve been eating a lot more bananas. Also a very good game!

While I do like the Nsane Trilogy, it definitely has a lot of hits and misses. There’s areas of the game where it does really well and areas where it just falls flat like this.

It be that time of year again!

Man I miss being able to afford things…

Been a bit since I’ve posted here, but it’s really discouraging to see the constant rampage of generative ai and the companies and techs trying to shovel it all down our throats.

Now you're thinking with portals. Comic from @johndarealboy.bsky.social! #OBAComics #oddballadventures #comics

Continuing the Mario art streak with the King of the Koopas himself!

It’s the Mario Brothers!

“Hey you are in detention!” Drew Madame Amberley by memory (mostly) from Crash Twinsanity. #CrashBandicoot

One my favorite comic to do!

I’ve been messing around with the idea of a Crash Bandicoot OC. Basically a mask with a body similar to when Uka Uka in Twinsanity and Crash of the Titans. Don’t have a name for him yet and the design will change, but I figured I share a bit of the fan in me. #CrashBandicoot

Skinwalkers and grizzly bears

Mixing it up a bit with the Crash characters. This time it some folks from Madame Amberly’s Academy of Evil! #CrashBandicoot

I’m starting to see more and more of ai being a replacement for artists and workers than being an actual tool. So I don’t want to hear people saying it’s a tool to help artists cause in the industry it’s sure as hell not doing that.

More art practice with Crash Bandicoot. #CrashBandicoot

Doing some art practice. I may or may not have been inspired by Warhammer/Metroid making this.

The fact Microsoft laid off 9000 employees so they could invest in ai baffles me when they put out garbage like this. Like they’re generate an image and be like “yeah this is fine” and glossing over all the errors and shit. Absolute clowns.

More Crash characters I drew from memory, this time being an egg from the 5th dimension, the master of time, and an unused character. #CrashBandicoot

Got my hair cut short, so new profile pic!

Went to Indy Popcon last weekend and got the chance to meet Debi Derryberry, Nolan North, and Maurice LaMarche, the voice actors behind some of the Crash Bandicoot characters. I made this for them to sign. Truly an incredible moment. #CrashBandicoot

Did some doodles of cursed Crash designs including the Cortex from the McDonald’s ad and some models from the Crash Nitro Kart mobile game. I had fun lol. #CrashBandicoot

Pac Panic #pacman

Was bored at work and drew this guy. #CrashBandicoot

More Crash characters I drew. #CrashBandicoot

Okay so Looney Tunes The Day The Earth Blew Up was fantastic! I enjoyed it a lot!

Been messing around with a new ink brush and drew some Crash characters. #crashbandicoot

My last doodle break #metalsonic #splitmantra #artsky #fanart

Drew this quickie because I’ve been battling a real bad head cold since Saturday.

It's a blast! Comic from @johndarealboy.bsky.social! #OBAcomics #oddballadventures #comics

Truly incredible to see companies that make billions of dollars resort to generative ai slop rather than paying artists. I’m so tired of this shit.

So back in January I attended a comic book event where I made 4 pages in 8 hours. I based the comic off of these guys. It was a great time and good learning experience. Being able to make 4 pages in a day is a feat for me.

New year, new profile pic

A new day brings new adventure. But for now… Rest easy Heroes. #shadowthehedgehog #sonic #art
