📌 Hello, I am Anodyne! I'm an illustrator and designer with a passion for creatures of all sorts and video games.

🖌️ You can find my work in my #art tag or custom feed (which you can pin for updates!): bsky.app/profile/arto...

Illustration of the Astera Canteen from Monster Hunter World. It is a primitive but impressive restaurant with large stone tables and ovens in the shape of simplified cat heads. Fruits and fish hang from the netting above the ovens, and large cuts of meat are cooking within the central oven. In the front of the piece is the Meowscular Chef and his assistant chef Felynes, all posing proudly in front of a prepared feast. The entire illustration is drawn in earthy hues with hatching and crosshatching for texture.

Digital illustration of a hunter and their mount from Monster Hunter Wilds. The hunter is an older woman with a bulky, powerful build and grey hair; she is in an upright riding position, grabbing the reins and turning to look at the viewer. Her mount is a bipedal monster that resembles a large dromaeosaur, with a stubby beak, horns, winged forearms, and vibrant blue and cyan feathers with orange and cream accents.

An illustration of Oryx, the Taken King, a character from the Destiny series. He performing his doxology attack, with blinding light shining from his chest and three eyes. The illustration is painted with bold, textured strokes to emphasize the power and energy bursting forth from him.

A colored illustration of two Warframes (which resemble biomechanical humanoids) sitting together. The Nidus has their arms wrapped around the Limbo's waist, embracing them closely, and the Limbo is leaning back into them.

Stained Glass Lagiacrus, Ivory and Abyssal!

The beloved sea lords of Monster Hunter Tri eras, the hype of its return in wilds was astounding and even topping the top 20 favorite of Monsters!

Here is a very, very small sneak peek at the illustration I'll be sharing to celebrate the anniversary of Metaphor: ReFantazio's release in October! #metaphor #メタファー

Cropped preview of an illustration of the video game Metaphor: ReFantazio. It depicts the protagonist's lower face and chest; he has a solemn expression, with one hand over a glowing wound in his chest. Orange markings that glow brightly branch off from the wound to decorate his body. His entire form is illuminated by fierce orange light against a dark background.

I LOVE METAPHOR TOO AHUGUHHH so I'm so very happy you enjoyed this one. 🥹 I agree that hit so many notes that appealed to me personal, and the art, writing, music, and characters were all so good. A real standout.

Anodyne ☄️ @artofanodyne.bsky.social · 9d

Ahhh Tea--thank you, genuinely, for being so sweet/supportive and sharing in this passion with me. It's been sooo much fun discussing the game/characters with you and seeing your takes on it! I'm glad Metaphor ended up appealing to you in some of the same ways it did me. 🥲

Anodyne ☄️ @artofanodyne.bsky.social · 9d

Anyways this is brought to you by me listening to the soundtrack in full while I chug away on this illustration and being like. Man. This music is so emotionally powerful and highlights that this really is a game that understands its themes and honors them to the very end. A masterwork.

Anodyne ☄️ @artofanodyne.bsky.social · 9d

It truly is a battle for me to not glaze Metaphor: ReFantazio every second that I breathe. A HUGE huge thanks to my friends that have also played it putting up with me rambling about it nearly every damn day every time it gives me a feeling 😭 I'm so excited for the anniversary event in October!!

It's been a lot of fun to watch you play it! I love both of us hearing spooky noises and just simultaneously being like "DON'T LIKE THAT!!". Also of course all of the obligatory "WILL METAPHOR YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE A GOOD BOY!!" jokes. A great spooky game to welcome in October!

Anodyne ☄️ @artofanodyne.bsky.social · 10d

Me: Oh boy, time to draw all of the glowing markings when Will uses his powers. They're cool so this should be fun!!
Me, two hours later, crawling out of a ramshackle pile of refs I scraped together from literal gigabytes of screenshots/saved footage: Hey character designer Soejima I just wanna talk

Anodyne ☄️ @artofanodyne.bsky.social · 10d

Man, after working on this Metaphor: ReFantazio illustration and agonizing after every little detail, I am going to be an expert on how Will's markings when he's channeling his Archetype work 😤

Do not let these milquetoast white men content creators convince you that we are doomed. They are selling fear and profiting off of it.

His health is failing. The cult has lost its momentum. The Epstein victims are actively making their case and trials will be happening, worldwide. The GOP is fighting amongst themselves about everything. Dems are winning their elections at federal and state levels. The military is being sent to cities to then stand around and get mocked. Judges have ruled it's illegal to be sent to blue cities in the first place. Alligator Alcatraz got shut down. They're desperate to hire people for ICE because people keep quitting. Protests are happening every week, everywhere.

We are in a very scary and very chaotic time. Project 2025 is terrifying. People are being emboldened to be violent, and people are being traumatized and harmed. The country has been divided and damaged, but not beyond repair and rebuild. We will get through this, we can't just give up and comply in advance. Don't let the bastards get you down.
