Hi, I'm Jordan Durci.

YouTuber, Nintendo lover, gamer, programmer, and maker of #pixelart, designer of #fakemon. Comp. sci. grad from Allegheny College with a Psychology/Philosophy double minor. He/ him.
It's about time for my 2025 Art vs. Artist.

I actually didn't make a ton of art in 2025 (though it does feel like I did). I'm doing a split among my most common works this year.

#pixelart #fakemon #mymachine #art

Red: Monster Tamer RTS Sprites
White: My Machines
Blue: College Fakemon Touch Ups

I'm a big fan of this sketch comparison. The sketches look like they're suffering. Lmao

Beetohm says it's time to go home.

Beetohm stores energy in its abdomen, limiting the flow such that it only comes out as small arcs on its antennae. When angered, it releases a large blast of electricity from the antennae, dimming the glow of its abdomen. #pixelart #fakemon

Larvamp is hanging out.

Larvamp has a constant flow of current through its body, forming flickering bolts of electricity at the tip of its tail when threatened. Their small antennae can also release electricity if needed, but they're too weak to produce much of a visible spark. #pixelart #fakemon

Feel free to take your pick of the litter.

And here's the team plus me.

Here's the classic layout.

My GOAT, @4dozeneggs.bsky.social , has officially completed the Super Mariomon Playthrough's final team art!

I basically sprited Slaggush from scratch since I hated the angle my sketch was from. I did reference the top of its head and the bottom of its body for positioning, and then I decided the legs needed to be both taller and more in line with Slaggleak's. I had to rotato this potato.

Slaggush is a one-monster refinery.

Slaggush can refine tons of ore per day on its own, forming veritable mountains of slag in the process. In the wild, it shapes the slag into dens. The liquid metal that falls from its eyes like tears is actually high quality precious metal. #pixelart #fakemon

Slaggleak moves metal.

Not only is it able to process more ore than Slaggaga, but Slagleak also has increased mobility from its long legs. It seems to enjoy the process of refining metals, both as a source of food and as a source of play. #pixelart #fakemon

Slaggaga is just a baby.

Slaggaga feeds on metal ores and refines them, producing large volumes of slag in the process. Jewelers often keep them to refine small amounts of precious ore. #pixelart #fakemon

This is my go-to. It's based on a Fakemon I designed a while back.

Amalgomorph longs to wiggle.

Amalgomorph, while liquid, is surprisingly resilient. It takes a significant amount of effort to kill one, as its body has a tendency to slip around blows. However, it moves very slowly along the ground, barely beating a Sludragora in a "footrace." #pixelart #fakemon

Bobobubbobo is more Bo than Bubbo.

The disease has reached an inflection point where there's more Bo than Bubbo. The deep purple Bo sprays its fluids with reckless abandon, all the while, the Bubbo is becoming more and more strained. Its hard to say how much longer it has. #pixelart #fakemon
November 20, 2025 at 2:12 AM
Bobubbo is struggling.

Bobubbo is starting to lose the battle to its disease, which is now becoming conscious and revels in spreading its infection to others. The body is still referred to as a Bubbo, but the new growth is called a Bo, hence the name Bobubbo. #pixelart #fakemon

Meet Bubbo, it's not a boob.

Bubbo's body is full of dangerous fluids that can cause a severe and deadly ailment. The boil-like arms weep these fluids, allowing it to infect any it touches, though it can also spit them as a defense mechanism. #pixelart #fakemon

I got the new Samus & Vi-O-La amiibo, and this thing is both huge and gorgeous. Age of Imprisonment for scale.

Looks like I'm a day late, but I wanted to pop in for #PortfolioDay.

I make #pixelart, most often monster designs and #fakemon.

I've recently been on a roll making designs for a Monster Tamer RTS concept I've been thinking up for a little while.

I'm so ready for Z-A, and knowing my usual Pokémon habits, it'll mean I won't be seeing Violet in a long time. Lol

To send it off, I built one last team, making my 30th team. That's the most teams I've ever trained in one game. Tera just made team building so fun.

Nucleist is still only one cell, but it now has double the nuclei and double the flagella, making it both faster and smarter than Flagelloom. With this newfound mental fortitude comes psychic energy so powerful that it can cause Nucleist to lyse if not released periodically. #pixelart #fakemon

Flagelloom and Nucleist make for another goo-o of monsters!

Flagelloom's body only has one cell (which is a fact that surprises many when they first encounter it). On close inspection, the mouth that it appears to have is a partially formed vacuole waiting for food to waltz in. #pixelart #fakemon
