Number 8, one of my favourites (especially this version) Geese Howard from Art of Fighting 2. The Fowl leader of Southtown (Amazing pun copyright SNK, don't blame me) - I absolutely love the greasy long haired 80s version from Art of Fighting 2. This probably won't be the last Geese pic #neogeonov

ICYMI: this game is lush and needs wishlisting to shiiiiiit so please share and wishlist it and that

Yikes BlueSky (not me! Someone else’s profile!)

Number 6, Orochi from King of Fighters 97. One of the better "god" bosses in KOF. I never liked his design that much, but I loved how he transforms at the start of the round. #neogeonov (I'm really enjoying doing these, hopefully they're not too annoying!)

Absolutely the worst thing to provide an artist. Fluffy words and bad sketches are great, detailed "polished" work is over prescriptive ... and also, y'know, AI. What an insult.

Photoshop has finally reached its Fat Elvis stage of life

I decided it's Neo Geo November - which basically means I'm drawing Neo Geo characters this month for fun. Starting with Hiromi Mita from WindJammers! Because why not. I'm not the best at WindJammers, but it sure is a fun as hell game. #neogeonov

A quick halloween pic of my favourite two House of the Dead'ers, Rogan and G. Have a fun halloween and try not to suffer like G did!

AI has loads of problems, but one I keep seeing is how it's being used for the laziest things. "I'm going to boil the oceans because I can't be bothered to look for File > Export as PDF".

Huh! Affinity is free now and.. the only way AI features get in my way is if I have Canva premium? Mighty skeptical, but potentially happy news.. www.affinity.studio

And for those with drawing tablets, that goes double. Yee-uck.

Any suggestions for billing tools? Keeping track of invoices, reports, that kind of thing? (My old one needs to be put out to pasture) I don't want to spend loads nor need loads of features, I'm just a lowly artist that wants to keep the taxman happy.

Objection! Mia Fey, from the Phoenix Wright / Ace Attorney series. She's cool, even when dead. Testing out the new brushes in Procreate finally!

I guess it’s kinda poetic for Halo 1 to be both the original launch title for Xbox, and the death title for Xbox

Introducing our upcoming DLC: FRIGHTS IN TIGHT SPACES 👹 Lurking in a sinister manor house, an ancient evil thirsts for a sacrifice. Horrors and otherworldly threats stand between you and your objective. 🎃👻Coming to Steam next Week 👻🎃

I missed this at the time, but some great Dreamcast goodies in here. Including my NeoGeoPocket cable! I certainly didn't know about all of these:

By using *REAL SCIENCE* I can officially say that Britain was in fact, NOT better in the olden days

Finally got myself a full Neo Geo MVS cabinet... oh wait it's teenie tiny! Very cute. Screen and marquee light up too.

There isn't a way to automatically mute Discord servers you join, is there? It's not a major hassle to mute, I'd just like it to be the default.

@pandamonium.bsky.social In case you missed it, you get a little shout out from Digital Foundry early on here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbm5...

Money making scheme: 1. Become a vibe coder 2. Get paid/fired quickly and partner with a skilled programmer and get them hired to fixed the broken code 3. Profit Win/Win. Only AI suckers lose. (I'm not actually doing this, I just remembered a chat I had with @arndreth.bsky.social )

Yeaaah, more art books!

Have you ever seen the complete Doom keyart? I never knew it extended so far left and right. But this particular crop also hides more of the gun at the bottom, shown on the second pic.

These are great. Even green Amy. (Maybe she should just be green now?)

If you enjoy Size Five and want to see it survive what is a very iffy time for the Games Industry, please do three things with your Saturday: ✅ Wishlist EARTH MUST DIE ✅ Buy a game on sale ✅ Share these links where you can store.steampowered.com/app/3639780/... store.steampowered.com/dev/sizefive

I DID IT. It took four years, but I finally completed the Phoenix Wright Trilogy... (The 3rd game was really good!) Spoiler-free highlights include this Final Fantasy reference and a reminder that AI is rubbish. Now I can finally play the ye-olde prequels!

I've put together a checklist for "things you should be doing before, during and after Steam Next Fest" if you're an indie developer. Check it out here and pls share if helpful! 👉 impress.games/steam-next-f... #indiedev #gamedev

EARTH MUST DIE Featuring a load of my favourite comedians - too many even to fit on the trailer! Joel Fry! Martha Howe-Douglas! @alexhorne.bsky.social! Tamsin Grieg! @5teviem.bsky.social @mrholness.bsky.social! @misterabk.bsky.social! @rosieisaholt.bsky.social! MORE Please RETWEET and WISHLIST

I installed MacOS Tahoe and instantly regretted it. Reinstall time! (My old Mac wasn’t ready for all that nasty glass effect)

otakumode.com/news/6870baf... Zashiki Warashi. I like it too!

I really like this TGS banner they're using on Steam. Does anyone know who the original artist is? I couldn't find it

WHAT? Like a team up? No More Robots and Size Five Games teaming up together, like in that episode of He-Man where Skeletor and He-Man had to work together? Oh, alright then. SEE YOU SUNDAY.

What did you draw today, Tom? Well I drew a Snail with a gun taped to its back, obviously. (Part of the Shadows of Doubt Modifiers update! I got to make lots of weird things for this)

So they're basically remaking Bomb Rush Cyberfunk? Ok fine, I'll buy it. (I had a lot of fun with the first one!)

I've seen so many "Amazing details in Metal Gear Solid Delta" videos which are all details from the original Metal Gear Solid 3, unchanged. (I didn't buy Metal Gear Triangle)

Very good. Very good trailer. Very good boy.

A+ good work clouds. This goes into my cloud reference folder

I was curious how the Street Fighter Alpha sprites would look if they were designed for square pixels, so I did a quick edit to see. Square (or correct aspect ratio) on the left, original sprites on the right. (This is rather niche, I know... but I thought someone might find it interesting)

I can't believe I haven't drawn Street Fighter 6 Ryu yet. He looks great in it, so here he is being chill.

I’ve been eating ice cream watching the storm. Today has been good so far!

This marketer pulled data on 6,422 pixel art games released over the last 2 years on Steam. Only 5% cleared 500 reviews. Here’s some fun data on the 5%. www.reddit.com/r/IndieDev/c...

The new Human Centipede movie is a bit dialogue heavy.

I needed to reference something from Grave of the Fireflies, so naturally now I'm super sad. Please only post nice things today, thanks.

Welp, I've just found out that my role has been made redundant 🫠... So I will be looking for work! If anyone is looking for a 2D/3D Generalist or Art Director for games (particularly specialising in stylised projects!) please shout! From concepts > modelling > animating thru to implementation 💛✨

Shame on Bristol council for using AI imagery in this adult learning leaflet. Why bother learning when you can become an AI slopper?

XBOX - logo is a x in a ball - not an actual 'box' more of a service/religion at present PLAYSTATION - not a network rail managed station - 'play' implies games of which theres very few DREAMCAST - ah now we are talking - it sure casted them - 10/10 no objections

My biggest concern about the inevitable tech bubble collapse approaching, is how that lost revenue is going to be recouped by targeting the workers and customers first. Sorry lads but Microsoft fell for the latest cybersnake oil, so we gotta let you all go.

Feeling uninspired by the Gamescom offerings I went back to Jet Set Radio Future... you know, when games were weird and interesting. This is Jazz, one of the characters further into the game. Got to love a big scarf!
