Oh yeah we have video now right?? I hope this works, its one of my favorite Pokemon animations and part of my long running campaign to remind people that Marshtomp is adorable actually and 3D models of it dont do it justice

Noh P.U.N.K. Ze Amin!
I love the Punk archetype yall, the art is soooo good! I wasn't sure I could even do it justice, but I tried and honestly I think I did a nice art here!

Also I'm building a Punk deck for Genesys format, so I want my own sticker lol

A sticker designed by me of the Yugioh monster "Noh P.U.N.K. Ze Amin" where she's coming out of the card, her arms outstretched with one hand coming towards the viewer and the other facing away as if she's mid dance.

An illustration by me of the Yugioh monster "Noh P.U.N.K. Ze Amin" where she has her arms outstretched with one hand coming towards the viewer and the other facing away as if she's mid dance. The background is a misty cloudy effect. There are also golden holographic textured kasumi mist pattern shapes and the vague shape of an orange gold fish directly behind her.

NES Classics Collection #012 - Final Fantasy!
I was so excited about drawing this one! Even though it's a tough game I enjoy the occasional playthrough.

Originall was gonna draw the Warrior, but really name something more iconic from this game than the Black Mage!
#art #illustration #retro #vivi

An Illustration card of a Black Mage from Final Fantasy 1 on NES. They are facing forward, with a wooden staff in one hand, their other hand is cupped around the end of the staff, forming a pixellated fire ball. The background is a recreated pixel art of the overworld map from the game, specifically the area around Cornelia castle. The entire illustration is framed with a border in the vague shape of an NES cartridge with the number of the card and the game title at the top.

This is just one of the works our friend @bluebandanajake.bsky.social did. Now I want more‼️

I had them sign it because it added a level of personal story for me.

Been a while since I got to draw up a new Yugioh sticker but I'm super excited about this one: Yummy★Snatchy!

I love this archetype, especially the art and designs! So I got this made as soon as I could and it came out so cool, the foil effects are fantastic!

"Hi, I'm Dummy! I mean Daisy! Ugh, she's in my head!!"

This comic depicts a natural rivalry and is in no way petty slander based on my personal Mario Kart experiences with a malicious little girl who kept attacking and laughing at me. Why would you even think that? You're silly. #supermario #fanart

This past weekend I tabled at a local con. It marks the one year anniversary of my con table, here's a side by side comparison of one year of growth.

I'm seriously proud of the amount of work I've done this year, and I'm so excited for the future! Thanks to all the new friends I made this year! 💙

A photo of my first convention table, one year ago. It featured a handful of prints of various sizes of whatever art I had that made sense to be prints, as well as a bunch of Pokemon and Yugioh stickers and some bookmarks and home made trading cards and magnets on metal sheet I bought from Home Depot. There's no decoration or customization to the wire racks, I'd only just learned how to build them that day. There are some prices printed out on full sheets, and a price list that I hand wrote there that morning.

Here's a helpful spoiler: the direct is slightly over an hour, so maybe playing some of it at 1.5 speed wouldnt be a bad idea lol
