Over this past year I've been getting more and more sick on behalf of the folks on whom the worst bullies in the world have been focusing their attention. I wish I could sic my nine-foot orc cat on 'em. Fun to draw her all snarly, at least.

If you're a fan of classic hand-drawn animation, Disney's Robin Hood, Don Bluth, or Redwall, we think you'll enjoy what we've got cooking! Want to try it for yourself? Now you can! War of the Western Deep now has a playable demo on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/2976440/...

Not a fun week to be a history enthusiast. -_-

boosting the trailer! We're thrilled with how this is coming together, and how folks have been receiving it so far :]

Cameo appearance from Dakkan in the sizzle reel 👁️

(hopefully this image finally uploads properly, ugh) Undertale never became a fixation for me, but I deeply appreciate it and what it brought to the medium. Last year I finally went through Earthbound, and enjoyed spotting some of the likely-inspirational elements there. This is why art is so cool.

With Mirren joining our grand cast of Western Deep protagonists, it seemed only fair that she get her own enamel pin! Visit us at PAX West next month at Booth 662 for a chance to get your hands on one!

My attack on @kobb.bsky.social , of Dakkan, from @westerndeep.bsky.social ! Here he is demonstrating a model catapult at the war table. Definitely not a toy. Certainly not playing... ;) #art #noai #ArtFight #ArtFight2025 #otter #furry #furryart

well. this is a very old doodle, but it's appropriate.

So excited to have just wrapped our second batch of VO sessions with the incredible @samanthabeart.bsky.social for War of the Western Deep! There's a whole lot more Mirren VO coming in the new PAX demo this August, and we can't wait to share it!

#NoKings, representing in my small (rather red) Ohio suburb. A heartening amount of support from folks driving by!

I would probably be interested in trying the Soulslike format sometime, but whycome most of the imitators have the same gross uber-detailed, decaying aesthetic? That's like 95% of the reason I haven't felt like trying the actual Souls games.

I'm being haunted by the part of myself from high school who was briefly and intensely interested in political cartoons.

My feelings on Wilds are... mixed. The world itself is lush - love the human cultures, weird monsters, endemic life, weather shifts. Good bones. But the design of story progression and combat mechanics both feel like they encourage me to turn my brain off in lieu of making intentional choices.

There's also this! The main reason the comic is on hiatus atm is I'm busy making backgrounds and otherwise art directin' on our adventure game c:

some more Azurah warmup doodles from the past couple weeks! Guest starring Krax, for some reason (a krogan OC I'm still rather fond of). #charr #GuildWars2 #MassEffect

Drew this as part of an ongoing attempt to prime the dry ol' art pump. I'm working on my second Aurene legendary and have dusted off a barely-used alt to serve as master artificer for it c: #GW2 #charr

I think mine should come with the disclaimer that one of my genres of comfort watch lately is farrier/horsemanship content, lol. Still, some of these joint areas are highly suspect because my brain defaults to cat and I couldn't fix it with reference X) I also made the legs far too long at first.

back in my Screaming Bazelgeuse era

I was supposed to be drawing cool game concepts/assets this afternoon. I can't focus because I'm so violently angry about these idiots, again. I hope all of their remaining days are short.

Me fighting G. Arkveld the first time, as its second phase theme kicks in:

The Kickstarter for my new #ttrpg, Woodlander, is now live! Follow the link to learn more, and back the project now to take advantage of the early bird discounts. www.kickstarter.com/projects/woo...

#Severance #WatershipDown

If my executive function were sapient, I bet I could easily negotiate some SUPER FOCUS to get the BtWD page done a day early to maximize Monster Hunter time on Friday. As it is... wish me luck 😤

We're immensely grateful to @cervidian.bsky.social for believing in War of the Western Deep and helping us bring the game to all of you! We'll continue to share development updates across our social feeds and on the westerndeep.net website, so stay tuned! <3

My brain is full of bees but I have to get some drawings done, so I'm distracting-not-distracting myself with WWII documentaries on my other monitor 🫠

I'm not used to being Angry for more than short flashes at a time. Gotta learn how to use this effectively because right now it's just distracting. :1

Bucks finally didn't choke for the National Championship, and I can't even muster up much joy about it because of all of the everything else :<

Didn't want to get stuck doomscrolling today (only kinda successful), so I finally had my first couple attempts against Fatalis. Obviously he exploded me into tiny bits, but I'm ready to slowly learn the dance. No more procrastination. >:V 🎸 💥

Trying to get myself back in the doodling habit outside of my required drawing tasks, and... oh dear, it's mostly angry Raphs. hum. #TMNT #kobbart

Since preorders for @tmntzines.bsky.social LEADER IN BLUE zine have been live for a few days now, here's a preview of my page! Give the store page a look - turtlefanzines.bigcartel.com - and check out all the bundles on offer! All profits go to the Sea Turtle Conservancy!

ATTENTION ALL NINJAS!⚔️ PREORDERS FOR LEADER IN BLUE: A #TMNT LEONARDO ZINE ARE NOW OPEN! Check out our boyscout in blue, the one and only fearless leader goodies below!

The time draws near to decide whether/how much time to request off for the Monster Hunter Wilds launch...

Sony, even your most passionate Horizon fans are telling you making HZD into a 2 hour movie is a very bad idea. Please listen to them. #horizonforbiddenwest #horizonzerodawn #quicherambles

I usually like to watch the ball drop just for funsies, but I got work at 2am tonight, so I guess that's not happening this year ¦V

without downloading any new photos, what’s your energy going into 2025?

This is simply unacceptable, and provides an easy and obvious loophole for bad actors. I was open to supporting Bluesky with potential subscription $, but not if you don't have the guts to cut off offsite stochastic harassment campaigns. The harm is still happening here.

Always a fun thing to open up the big BtWD comic file to work on a page and getting re-excited for it just from the blown-up thumbnail sketch.

I have at least managed to do these doodles of my charr blacksmithing, to reflect my working-on-a-legendary Keeping Sane Side Activity of late.

The past couple years have weaned me off actively posting on socials in favor of doomlurking, a pattern I'm still stuck in despite the nicer environment here. I'm working on it, though art energy may have to wait for the end of holiday retail season. I've barely had enough to keep BtWD afloat 😅

STOP ✋ if you are reading this, you've reached a pokémon check point. you’re now obligated to share your favorite pokémon. --- I always liked a decent range of Pokemon generally, but never attached as firmly to any as my dark horse ace from Sw/Sh, Beck the Perrserker. Gremlin ❤️

Oh hey, the Leonardo zine I'm doing a piece for made it to Bluesky! These folks are a treat to work with - here's the page I did for the more general TMNT zine they ran last year! This time I'm going less hard on style emulation, but it's been a fun (and needed!) side thing to focus on c:

Okay, did the thing. Now I'm gonna immerse myself in comic work and/or viddy games for the rest of the day. Got beef stew dinner in the crock pot to make this ordeal as comfy as possible.

Finally had the chance to make my solo Rey Dau attempt... as the end of the beta was rapidly approaching, so it was the only shot I would have. I was not Fast and was scrambling for potions by the end, but I got him. Mission accomplished c:

Have now tried the MHWilds beta on my PC. It's going to *work*, but my fans are going to scream about it a little, haha. Please enjoy this fail screen when my friend and I tried to hunt Rey Dau together just a bit ago 😁Those oneshots are brutal!

yes please!!

Hua and Jumpkin, crack hunting team! (the theming is a love letter to MUSH, a game I remember fondly but probably wouldn't have time to play these days anyway) Thrilled with the level of customization. Together, these guys are gonna Get a railgun wyvern before the beta window closes. 😤

The only thought buzzing my single braincell while I'm at work today is getting home, so I can get the Monster Hunter Wilds demo preloading~

Aaand the final three. I really gotta get back on that Nerscylla sketch attempt - it turns out quasi-spiders are hard for me, lol 29 - Brachydios 30 - Narwa & Ibushi 31 - Fatalis #MHart
