I've been chipping away at the animation and I seem to love punishing myself by animating big stupid dust clouds

I've been chipping away at the animation and I seem to love punishing myself by animating big stupid dust clouds

Many new games are coming out but I'm going to do something truly outrageous; actually try and get thro-- 🤮... get through my backlog.

Recently hit 50k on Youtube. My channel has been getting decent attention lately and while I barely upload (almost once a year) it reminds me there's still interest in this old project. I hope to make some significant progress next year.

Due to unforseen circumstances in my life I have to put the animation on hiatus... again. I'm sorry this project has been going on for so long. Hopefully things will change next year.

Someone in my YouTube comments says my animation is "the greatest", then someone replies saying that's an insult to "objectively better" indie productions. I don't deny there's better work but it's funny when people feel ownership and defensive on behalf of other creators.

A little while ago I mentioned I'd quit the Metal Gear animation for a few reasons (life/financial). I've "quit" plenty of times only to get back on the horse, so starting today I'll ride again. Though, I won't be very active here much, no more doodles. But I haven't gone.

Get back from the states and I immediately get the flu 🤒

Haven't been able to post all the mgscon merch I bought because my luggage got lost and it's currently being search for 😞

The full @mgscon.com VIP illustration I did

Back home

finally unpacked and went through all the amazing things I got from MGSCON!! ✨ i tried to tag everyone, but unfortunately some things were very kindly given to me and didn't have a name on them 😭 please let me know if any of this is your art!! 💕

Reading @othatsraspberry.com 's comics at LAX and reminded of the inspiration for my Dirty Duck design

Realized we don't have squirrels in NZ because one jumped out of a tree and scared me in downtown LA.

Having not left my home town since '06, to say leaving NZ to fly out for a convention was daunting to say the least. Never flown, sold art, been on a panel, its overwhelming. But the people I've met and connections I've made are what made the journey worth it. Thankyou @mgscon.com

From art to cosplay and more, you can pick the brains of some of the Metal Gear Community’s most brilliant makers. Be sure to add this Creator’s Panel to your mission itinerary this weekend!

4….3…2..1. #mgscon3 is a little over a week away. At the show I will have at least one snake from every main line MGS title. Stay tune for more print announcements #mgscon @mgscon.com

Much of my art was created with social media in mind in that I'd make the dimensions smaller to avoid cropping, but recently I've gone back and added to the illustrations to fill out space for poster sizing.

Metal Gear postcards, front and back

Inspired by @bipedalbastard.bsky.social's wonderful work as usual. Rest of characters here in HQ: t.co/WQOpxJzKQC

Thinking about attending MGSCON3❔ The time to act is now❗️

You know you've made it on blue sky when people outside of your audience start asking who the sexy man with the eyepatch is.

who's picking up a copy?

drawing a really big guy

I made a post on my YouTube channel about my animation being discontinued due to lack of time needed and the responses, while well meaning, are like, "you should make an entirely new series and promote it so you can get support!" and like... the whole point is I have no time lol

flights booked ✈️

Okay, I'm ready to go. #solidsnake #metalgearsolid #hideokojima #sony #playstation #ps1 #davidhayter #animation #fanart #artistsofblusky

slowly getting the gang together

just being a jerk

I'm a little late on the current art discourse but I've never really made money from art. To be honest, no one is going to read this so idc, but future plans is I'll move away from art in the future as it isn't sustainable. I believe there is something else I'm passionate about I've yet to tap into.

Back in the day. This one got retwerked by the man. To this day, my Medicom figures continue to fall every 3 days.

Who? Him? Oh, That's just "NEIL". 💀🎆 #DS2 #DeathStranding #DeathStranding2 #DeathStranding2OnTheBeach @hideokojimaen.bsky.kojimaproductions.jp
