Played through Diablo 4 with friends. Compared to 3, the aesthetics and story have improved, but the sense of progression is maybe the weakest of the whole series. D3 at least had an arcadey-ness to it that could have worked without the Diablo branding.

From 2013, "Read Me a Story About Dragons." I recall putting so much work and detail into this that Photoshop was lagging out on me. My skill and hardware was pushed to the limit at the time. Lessons were learned. #art #fanart #GW2

From 2013, "Halloween vs Me-Mow". Real old, but I used to see this one pop up randomly around the internet. With attribution too, which is always nice to see! #art #fanart #adventuretime

From 2023, a birthday gift for a friend featuring his Warrior of Light. #art #FFXIV #Lalafell

After a streak of mediocre modern films, I've gone back to watch influential genre classics like Akira, Carrie, and 2001: A Space Odyssey. I think Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is next on the agenda. If anyone knows a great western or samurai film, I'm open to suggestions!

When Undertale came out, I was at a point where the best I could do was pretend to enjoy things so I don't bring other people down. It cut through that cynicism with laughs, empathy, and intrigue. It was the support I needed to get my hope back.

I have survived another year 🎂

Squid Game! I liked it; lots of good characters and early twists, but they didn't catch lightning in that bottle twice. As with the first season, it was a mixed bag towards the end, albeit in different ways. Splitting into 3 seasons was a horrible mistake.

Even if retroactive fees were never a threat, this right here is why I need to move on from Unity. Over a billion dollars in acquisitions but basic features have support like they're demo disks from 2001.

Wowee! I got really popular on the other site during my absence!

I want to do Deltarune fanart, but I seem to be very bad at it right now. I'll have to do it another time, when it's no longer fresh and exciting.

My ability to draw really ebbs and flows. Three weeks ago, I was happy with the progress I was making. This week, it's like I've jumped back ten years.

I have caught up on Deltarune. I think it was wise to bundle Chapter 3 and 4 together...I could see complaints if there was a nebulous wait between them. Very much had a good time! It's left me more invested than I was after either of the other releases. Now we wait.

"Monkey Suit", from 2018! Fanart of Coconuts from Sonic, in comic attire and a cartoon variant. For how often Sonic gets fanart, I'm not sure I've ever seen Coconuts get attention, despite being there from the start. #fanart #art

I'm so pleased with RakkaRakka. It's really satisfying when success reaches people who chased their dreams to earn it.

"I'm so close to having something worth posting," I think everyday before not having anything worth posting.

I've been looking to old anime for reference lately. Here's something obscure yet very specific! I expect no one to know who this is. #digitalart #fanart

From 2017, "Tidal Trickster!" I don't like MOBAs and I don't play League, but I did briefly enjoy it with friends. Fizz is the best boy. #art #furryart

I overlooked a lot of the weird camera/social features for the Switch 2 because they're clearly not for me, but if the price concerns are accurate, I'm not sure who Nintendo's even targeting. Is this just what happens when Iwata's not there to light the path?

I finally got around to watching I Saw The TV Glow. Not at all what I expected but it's been a hot minute since a movie scared me like that. It's unusual enough to not be an easy recommend but I'm glad I saw it.

Yo! Here's a fun one. This WIP from Tumblr 2014 is more popular than everything else I've done combined. I kept going, but scrapped the full animation because I didn't know why THIS resonated with people. I decided the full thing would never live up to it.

It hurts me every time I see a fun multiplayer game and realize I don't have the friends to actually play it with.

I used to wonder why we never got an era of 2D games that actually look like the shows they're from. I welcome this correction to our timeline.

From 2016, "Pokonsen"! I originally drafted a big scene with a dozen or so Scraggys playing around, but got overwhelmed with the workload. Instead of throwing the idea away, I downscaled into something I could actually finish.

From 2018, "Starlit Gentleman"! Fanart for the film 'Nocturna', but the character's name is held back for a reveal so I'll consider it a spoiler. Good movie, do recommend.

From 2023, impromptu gift art for @lumozze.bsky.social. My favourite of the portraits I was doing at the time, including the one I made for myself.

It turns out people value efficiency more than the promise to burn the biggest amount of resources. I hope that's the takeaway here, and not just "China bad."

From 2020, Invader Zim fanart! Probably the most formative cartoon of my childhood. Dark and scary but filled with colourful characters.

gift for @kmheartless.bsky.social !

From 2018, "Scaring Day!" featuring a slightly Pop-ified Ickis. I guess 2018 was a good year for me; there's actually plenty that I still like.

From 2021, commission for the illustrious @josephvoncarstein.bsky.social of his D&D character, Jerk!

Old art from 2018, "Black Market Murch"

I present the new character ref for my bunny boy, Kachi! He's a wannabe-performer from the quiet countryside - a big dreamer from a small world.

10 Games To Get To Know Me! (In no particular order) 1. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 2. Undertale 3. Otogi: Myth of Demons 4. Banjo Kazooie 5. Silent Hill 6. Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 7. Mass Effect 8. The Binding of Isaac 9. Diablo 2 10. Sonic The Hedgehog

Things not going so well over at Twxtter, huh?

So, where do artists even go to share their work nowadays?

I got rusty with art and humans are a big weakness for me, so I committed to 60 nights of doing some sketching from anime to get better. I got pretty slack towards the end and didn't end up where I hoped, but I still improved. Here's some cherry-picked examples!

We've just lost a legend who was right in the middle of renewing his passion. Toriyama has been a huge inspiration to me, growing up and to this day. This sucks.

I find it motivating to go back and catalogue old things that I've made. I recently went back through dozens of game projects that I dropped for one reason or another. Since I don't have anything posted here, I'd like to share some! Featuring ugly prototype art that I'd usually bury.

Oh, cool, a new social media platform to neglect! At least this one might trend in the right direction.
