you’re good thanks for the rec! honestly I never really have explored much of hacks/randomizers etc. im replaying more older games lately and I’m up for things like that that will “refresh” the experience (when they’re done well and not heavily altering the core experience)

My ever-evolving comfy space. Un-zoom on my phone makes it look a lot bigger than it is. It’s your typical 1st-floor front corner office you see in cookie cutter development homes. At some point I’ll do the full tour of all my treasures

I picked up this beautiful beast yesterday for dirt cheap. Toshiba 27a43 curved tube and it looks stellar. There’s a tiny chip in the display that wasn’t mentioned or visible in the listing 😭 tho I’ve found while playing it’s easily ignored or completely forgotten about depending on what’s on screen

Little man is super into Pokémon journeys all of a sudden which is cool but he is obsessed with the opening theme song which in turn reminds me that this one from ultra moon is stupidly good m.youtube.com/watch?v=82wZ...

Nova in her pre-cyborg days. She loves getting a group of friends over to watch those cut-and-paste ninja movies with her.

She was one of those crazy amazing artists who drew on a phone. After my third commission she had saved enough to get a drawing tablet. I think the 4th piece (bottom right) was the first thing she drew on it. It blew me away being so higher resolution and way more fine-detailed than the others

Drew🖨️ @drewprints.bsky.social · 6d

some art origin story thread for today, just because. I’ll add to this over the course of the day.

this is my first OC, Yuzu. I didn’t draw these, I commed an artist named Ami. she went dark a long time ago and I haven’t heard from her. 😔 But she was a huge influence on me getting started drawing.

My first OC Yuzu, drawn by Ami. She is standing, smiling and giving a peace sign. She has a black athletic sweater with the text “YUZUKOI EST 2022” and a green plaid skirt, green and yellow camo socks and black sneakers. Her hair is koi colored orange, black and white, pushed back in the center and long in the back

Another drawing of Yuzu by Ami, a bust portrait where she is staring into the distance with a puzzled expression and pushing her cheek ip on one side with her finger. Based on a panel from One Piece of Vivi Nefertari during the reverie arc

Another drawing of Yuzu by Ami. She is mid-bow, looking up lovingly at the viewer

Another drawing of Yuzu by Ami, she is running, panicked as all of her belongings are being dropped and scattered, including a bag of gummy bears, a can of coffee and a wrist strapped cell phone

I have many many other drawings of her as well, some of them are very early and a little embarrassing. But all this time she has rarely ever been shown publicly.

I’ve tried to draw her at least once a year or so, I guess as a measure of my improvement. I’m probably due for a 2025 update. I’ve never really kept totally faithful to the original design, for whatever reason I’ve always drawn her a little heavier. Maybe this time I will try to do a classic take

A drawing of yuzu by me from sometime 2022-2023. She has much wider hips and is taller, is blowing a bubble and wearing dark green overall skirt with a lighter green long sleeve shirt underneath.

2023 drawing of yuzu by me, in a green and black magical girl outfit with wings and a bow and arrow made of light. Her hand is poorly foreshortened in the foreground and she has an angry expression

2024 ink sketch of yuzu by me, she is a little shorter this time, again blowing a bubble with her hands on her hips. She has overall shorts and a T-shirt underneath with “EST 2022 YUZUKOI” partially obscured by her overalls

2025 drawing of yuzu by me, she is in bra and panties and standing in front of a foggy mirror that she has wiped with her hands. She is doing her hair in the mirror, using one hand to pull her hair back, a hair tie in the other, and a bobby pin hanging from her mouth.

this was my original mouse-drawn reference image that I sent to her in 2021. And it is probably the best and earliest measure of my own growth. Ami drew the first commission in November 2021. Seeing the vision come to life lit my flame so to speak and a month later I got my first drawing tablet
