Kill It With Fire 2 is coming out of early access today! I did this Doom-inspired keyart for it and it was honestly *so much fun* to make... Well, fun if you're not afraid of Spiders anyway. Check it out: store.steampowered.com/app/2357000/...

Number 17, Leona Heidern from King of Fighters 96. Leona was a really cool addition to the Ikari team, I've always liked her original design. KOF96 is an all time favourite of mine too - not the most complete version sure, but it has the bosses team :) #neogeonov

Number 15, Kasumi Todoh from Art of Fighting 3. She's learning English just to give you the post-match smack talk! Art of Fighting 3 is a quality game. #neogeonov

Number 14, Toyoshige Takeno from Neo Turf Masters. I mean, it could be any of the characters but I like his stupid hat. But Neo Turf Masters is an amazing game, super easy to pickup with lots to master. #neogeonov

These moronic Terranoids think they can just roll in here and take over my beautiful Tyrythian kingdom? The kingdom that I built from the ground up with my bare hands, and only sort of inherited from ...

Here, have a nice story:
We lived in a pub when I was growing up and when I was 3 (50 years ago!) we had someone in to draw the pub for a business card. I sat next to him and watched him draw every line. I was transfixed and it was a huge inspiration for me. I’ve dreamt about owning that drawing for years…

Number 11, Arina Makihara from WakuWaku7! All the characters from WakuWaku7 are based on anime tropes, so you've got bunny girls, totoro-alikes, moody vampire-types and robot girls. What a fantastic and weird game... and a genuinely solid fighting game. #neogeonov

I haven't seen anyone compare the Gabe Cube to the Apple G4 Cube. Possibly because it's the most beautiful little toaster ever?

Number 9, Hibiki Takane from The Last Blade 2. Hibiki is an interesting character as she can develop a blood lust depending on how you play... stay calm with those super moves! #neogeonov

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

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

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.
Kinu Nishimura and Tsukasa Kotobuki say that some clients no longer simply give verbal instructions or a rough sketch when ordering an illustration, but now provide an AI-generated image, which stifles artists' creativity by limiting their scope for interpretation.

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

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".

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.
