In the process of doing these Dragon Quest doodles, I realized that this style was quick, easy, and really fun for me to do. If anyone has an RPG (TTRPG, video game, or otherwise!) that needs monster art, I'd love to get paid to do this!

The Emotion Engine (The Emotion is Thankfulness)

@emotion-engine.bsky.social

An absolutely incredibly pull quote that should inspire every decent human to prove them wrong.

(For those unfamiliar, it’s a visual novel/tactical RPG/board game with 100 endings and roughly 60 novels worth of text.)

Uchikoshi: I consider every game I've made in the past 27 years to be my magnum opus. Hundred Line is certainly one of the most significant among them. Perhaps one day it will be remembered as
"the last large-scale epic written entirely without the help of Al." Maybe even in the history of humanity, it could be one of the final works created purely by human hands. After humanity goes extinct, perhaps the surviving Als will display it in the Smithsonian.

Shinobi (2002) by Sega for PlayStation 2. Art by Makoto Tsuchibayashi.

A dark-haired woman in a striking red and black bodysuit with flowing cape stands confidently in a dynamic pose over a glowing red demonic mask, surrounded by chaotic fiery orange brushstrokes and ghostly translucent figures emerging from the swirling abstract background.

Felt like doodling my favorite spikey football gremlin lol

[ #Art #Fanart #Hirumamo #Eyeshield21 #E21 ]

A series of doodles of a man, Hiruma, with sharp features, including sharp teeth, pointy ears, and spikey hair. In the top right, he's wearing red football gear, and giving an exaggerated, intimidating look. In the top left, he's wearing a black shirt and looks much more calm, holding a stick of gum.

On the bottom, he's leaning towards a girl, Mamori, as he teases her. She's wearing a red shirt, has long brown hair, and looks at him with a dry expression.

Just got hit with the opposite of the "Easy Difficulty is Now Unlocked" from DMC3.

screenshot of a level clear screen from Angeline Era where it says I'm playing well and might enjoy a higher difficulty.
