I know I probably just need to sit down and watch the jojo series somewhere, but I feel like I still don't understand what a "Stand" is exactly, like they seem to be superpowers given a personified form...except when they're not, and when they are actually autonomous being...

I've been looking for a way to effectively talk about my card game from a mechanical standpoint. It feels like it's easier to share what a card looks like rather than what it does and how that matters in the context of the game at large...

Omg omg omg she is so happy being a dorky blimp 🥴💖

If I had one complaint about deltarune chapter 5, it would be that it does a thing Undertale does that I find a little annoying, where it's like: "Ha! I'm going to do violence to you!" *Attacks them* "NOO!!! Don't do violence to me! you big bully!!" "Hmph! now I don't want to hang out with you!"

Random Rant: You know, I kinda have beef with the whole "Be careful what you wish for" and other related narrative tropes, where a character is punished for having a desire fulfilled in some way. at some point it just communicates this idea that wanting stuff in any capacity is bad...

Finally got to witness the full extent of Deltarune chapter 5 proper, now spoilers cannot hurt me!

I'm here desperately waiting for my YouTuber of choice to post the latter half of their play through of deltarune chapter 5 before the internet gets flooded with spoilers, I'm already starting to see fan art and I'm desperately trying to avoid any of the spicier story reveals I haven't seen yet.

So I haven't been talking about my life situation much but things aren't going to great right now, my economic situation is looking pretty tense and there's a real chance I may end up going homeless again in a matter of weeks, I've been at the job hunt for months now with no success...

Well, this is making the rounds so why not?

So in my card game, you're playing dodgeball and you win by landing 5 clean hits on the opponent, each one removes a card from their stamina line like a health bar. However, you have to get past 3 layers of defense first in order to secure the hit on the opponent...

summer vibes with snivy and floatzel! this li'l animation was in wip hell till today..

been working on illustrations for my card game still, got these two down. One was a bit more detailed then I had anticipated so kind had to make due. never gonna try something with a ball cage again.

Illustration I made of Zephyr Wolf for @vosdugolva.bsky.social's card game 🌕🐺💨

I really hate it when trusted websites suddenly become trojan horses to take your work and data and feed it into AI.

Every now and again I think about how much I'd like to be able to make music somehow, weather by an instrument or through a daw or something, however I just don't believe I've got the means to do it. Part of it come from the belief that there is a large knowledge hurdle to get through first...

Decided to make an updated version of the flyer for the card game project I'm working on. still interested in getting some additional support on the venture.

Finished another illustration for the card game I'm working on. an inflatable Kendoka weasel/badger/squirrel thing.

Been working on some finalized card illustrations for cards within balloonomancy. been deciding to embrace my usual textured marker-esque style of rendering.

Had a sudden realization about the Legend of Zelda when watching some rom hack gameplay. Isn't it weird how bombs are like, a totally normal thing that people can buy in the universe? And it's not even something that gets glossed over either...

Was talking to a friend about the piece I recently reposted, and made mention of the fact I once drew an idea for a Floatzel/Lugia cross myself a few years ago, although it was more wide than tall. This was made during a period where I was in a strong lugia mood.

Someone said Draw Floatzel, someone said Draw Lugia, I couldn’t pick

Had a mild spat with family that got me anxious about the future of AI video content. They were watching these time lapse construction videos that were obviously ai and I pointed them out over things appearing out of nowhere during the process...

so apparently over on twitter, someone pulled this social experiment where they took a crop of a Claude Monet painting and framed it as though he AI generated it and asked people why they saw it as inferior, and people scrutinized the painting heavily until he later revealed it was human made...

So here's some lost media for you guys, I recall an old pair of flash animations called "HEvil" one and two, and they were about a sentient helium tank that used to serve an important role in his household before being retired by new technology and seeks revenge for it...

So I've been thinking about the whole red button Blue button moral dilemma more and I realized that it actually correlates pretty well to some meaningful real life example, those being efforts to unionize or organize politically, let me elaborate...

It can be fun to analyze weird Ludonarrative outcomes within game rules, like how in MTG, it apparently only takes 4 lion's worth of magic material to end the fucking world! For game design it makes sense, but you'd think something like that would take more power than conjuring a quartet of lions.

So I've been busy working on the beta delivery mediums for the first 2 starter decks on Tabletop simulator, where in each set you get a tuckbox that produces an infinite supply of that deck, dice to use as inflate tokens, and a quick start guide to learn how to play the game.

Commissions for bsky.app/profile/gaht... of his orca character Thanal. They're a cybernetically modified giant orca. (It's labelled 'suggestive' because if I don't, the site does it automatically to all my image posts.)

So I've been hip on the whole red/blue button discourse, and it's interesting how people say it's a simple choice but the reality that unfolds is that it's a lot more complicated of a moral dilemma than people want to say it is...

#furryinflation Anyone remember the absolutely ancient pic by Pokeflation entitled "R\ayquaza Stops The Fight"? Felt the urge to do a 3D remake of that scene as tribute to one of my earliest memories of Very Round 'Mons.

So I just so happened to get an interview lined up for a sandwich shop that I saw was hiring before and decided to inquire on. Now a part of me wants to not get my hopes up on this as I've seen this pattern before, but you know... It feels good to have hope when there's a reason to...

I think I want to die, I don't know yet though, but what does life even have to offer that's worthwhile, that won't just get taken away in due time? Maybe I need to occupy my mind, but I think I'll inevitably just come back to this again. I just don't know.

I can't seem to fall asleep tonight, I've lost hope for the future and don't want tomorrow to come, each day brings me closer to inevitable losses as I fall farther and farther behind financially, each day the price for existence increases, each day things obviously get worse.

After getting a job only to be laid off in less that a week has finally brought me to a point of despair, I just don't believe there is anything I can do now, but carry on until the few things I have get taken away from me, my car, my home, eventually my life by one way or another...

A parallax experiment I've been messing around with lately. This is running in the browser and moves with your cursor

Happy Birthday @vosdugolva.bsky.social!

So my birthday is tomorrow! don't have any plans for it yet but I'll figure it out in time!

How I’ve Been Pronouncing It (Feat. Foghorn Leghorn, my… roommate?)

Super Heavy Songkran festival A super late Water festival art. That's what you get when you have too many projects. #Songkran #SongkranFestival #WaterFestival #Crocodile #Dragon #Beetle #Mecha #SuperSoaker #Anthropomorphic

First Discipline Armor from the current Event, commissioned by @likeapierrot.bsky.social This Digimental features a military/warfare theme so they all gonna look like they're part of the D-Brigade X,D art/designs by me, @strikeyoko.bsky.social #digimon #commission

Been wanting to try this again, For every like this post get's I'll reply with a post sharing some recent sketches, doodles, and illustrations along with some context behind them. Most will be related to my game project as that's where most of my drawing efforts have been lately.

So @kronogarrett.bsky.social and @rushsupern.bsky.social did a thing with @lostlands.bsky.social Kaiju OC, and I was in the mood so I did a quick and dirty rendering of him as a balloon in my card game, albeit not as wide. He won't actually be in the game, this was just a creative exercise.

please, help out my gentle giant friend

So I saw this hero wars ad on Tv tropes, and I must say, it's surprisingly progressive given that they decided to put all the treasure in her head instead of her boobs and ass. Though I wonder what statement is being made by putting deadly lava in her thighs...

After some comments on the discord for my card game, I've been fooling around with the idea of a strategy game based on the same balloon dodgeball premise of the card game. Dunno if I'm going anywhere with this but it's fun to experiment with and make the inflatable balloon standees.

Okay so an age old question just came back to me... can someone tell me where this expression came from? and why it shows up in Japanese media so often? like, do people do that with their mouths? where did this come from? does it even have a name?

A trade with @frengers.toys!
