I'd really rather avoid another thread about me on Twitter but fuck dude I'm so tired of struggling. All of my other bills are paid off except for that one. I don't know what I'm supposed to do. Loans won't accept me, I don't have a credit card, I'm just. Tired.

Nobody ever looks at this account anyway so vent time.

Really sucks that Im supposed to be moving next weekend and our security deposit isn't even paid yet. Its just been me supporting my partner and myself on a single part time income and I'm afraid to ask for help since it didn't go well before.

Gapple fact! You show an immeasurable amount of skill with your low tier!

Introducing the soon to be produced "Gapple Matchups" design! Honestly I saw a guy with Snapple shirt while watching EVO and this idea wouldn't leave me alone. Keep an eye out for the drop! I'm excited!

Updated banner for my dear pal and fellow Streets gamer @imjustadamant.bsky.social

Dug a little old school for this one! Very inspired by NEO GEO arcade cabs, the Fatal Fury opening screen and just the general classic arcade vibe! Always a joy to make some Terry stuff so thanks again!

Fightstick artwork for a fellow Axlbro DeafHeaven!

Always a joy to work with Axl motifs whenever I'm creating and it's always really cool whenever I get to put it into action! Thanks so much again for commissioning me!

Was in the business of helping a fellow artist last week with some general composition and just adding "flair" to a general piece and I recorded a small little time-lapse about it. Naturally I didn't want this to just sit in my files so I'm sharing it! Check it out!

Alright so.

After WAY too long, a proper and decently put together comms sheet is FINALLY real! Prices are baseline what you see on the sheet but are always negotiable. If you've ever been unsure of what prices are, now there's a resource! Thanks for the support gamers!

Frustrating to still have to go to work when literally all I want to do is be at home and work on my commission and design work. I'm so ready to be able to do this full time I swear. Feels like I'm being suppressed creatively lol.

This was such a blast to work on and it was honestly kind of a journey to get to this final vision! Went through 3 different variants before settling and it was a fun challenge all the way through! So proud of how it came out!

Cat Scraps Vol. 2:

Proposed playercard alternative for VICE FGC based on the banner I created for them that wasn't chosen but I still think is cool. Thanks for looking!

P.S. $20 comm slots open so I can buy myself lunch at work today.

Elphelt fightstick commission completed for a private client! Super happy with the result and was a joy because the project felt more like a collaboration than a straight commission! Thanks so much again for comming me! My commissions are still open!

Did a fun self exercise where I tried to name as many Axl players as possible and came up with 21 off the top of the dome. Coincidentally that's probably the total number of Axl players in the world smile. We all know each other and it's great.
