Come on now, let's be mature about this. It clearly needed sound.

Seeing these two side-by-side on Steam makes me appreciate the original character design more. The new one is so... generic. I guess that's a problem with aiming for realism: real life is boring!

Saw this thing advertised on eBay... and for some reason I really want to take you for a ride? (🎵 do do do do do)

Woke up stupidly early so I did some life drawing of twisty poses. All with SFW undies on to save your soul

This seems to happen at least once a day with Photoshop. GOOD.

Here's everything I made for NeoGeoNov in one piece. I had a lot of fun making this and there are so many other characters I'd like to add... but that will do for now.
This one includes a bunch of tweaks and fixes I wanted to do. I'd love to sell this as a poster (Hello SNK IP lawyers!)

Number 23, Mars People from Metal Slug 2. Last one! I wanted this to be a quick cheeky one, so here's the Mars People abducting Morden at the end of the game. Spoilers!
I hope my Neo Geo spam wasn't too annoying, as I enjoyed the hell out of it. Now onto Dreamcast December! (joking)

Number 22, Terry Bogard from Fatal Fury 2. FF2 was when he gained his iconic look! Of course I was going to do Terry, he's an absolute fav. But there's still one more day to go... #neogeonov

Number 21, Athena Asamiya from King of Fighters 95. Two for one tonight! I love that they transformed Athena from the 1986 platformer into a Fighting game. Very weird lore. Love it. #neogeonov

Number 20, Geese Howard from Real Bout Fatal Fury. I know I've already done Geese, but that was 80s Geese! This is his last appearance before his canonical death... yet he's been back plenty since then and that's ok with me! #neogeonov

Number 19, Blue Mary from Real Bout Fatal Fury Special. I chose her for RBFFS because of her song / music video :D Plus her cool green jacket outfit! #neogeonov

Number 18, Mr. Karate from Art of Fighting. Or is it Takuma Sakazaki? Or perhaps "The guy with the big beak" as AOF2 puts it? I'm running out of November and there are so many more NeoGeo characters I want to cover! #neogeonov

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

Number 13, Rumi Aikawa from Metal Slug X. She's the one who's wandering around aimlessly with the giant bag, always dropping good items! I believe she makes the most appearances in Metal Slug X, so it felt fitting! #neogeonov

Number 12, Rock Howard from Garou: Mark of the Wolves. Absolutely a favourite of mine: A sprinkling of Terry, a dollop of Geese and a whole lot of emo. What's not to love? ;) #neogeonov

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

Number 10, Rugal Bernstein from King of Fighters 94... with a cameo from Guile's statue. He's the cliché bad guy, but without his lovely letter writing skills there would be no KOF! #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?
