2. After a few painstaking hours, I made this sexy ass airship from scratch, because existing art was not filling the niche I needed. Honestly if I was going to make this game, I would base the style off of Steel Empire on the Genesis

Here's a small update on that airship game idea I had earlier:
1. Since this is mostly concept art, I decided to steal FF6's mode7 graphics (specifically parts from the ending, thanks TSR!) since I don't plan on making my own tiling terrain until it is onboarded as a real game project.

Wew, who knew designing a game mock-up in #Crocotile would be so rough? I couldn't even figure out how to make the terrain I nabbed off of OGA larger so that it would look like mode-7 terrain

So, I flipped through my image uploads in an old friend's discord server, and I discovered some armor designs that I'll probably revive in the future

Working on a new bust for the Lospec 2025 Family Photo collab! The palette is a bit tricky to work with, but I think I got it. I also FINALLY got to do cheekbones correctly!

Jesus christ, I forgot about how bad my pixel art actually was. This screenshot dates to circa... 2019.

I have discovered an abandoned project while dusting off my discord alt so I could clean up my server list by moving all tech support needs to the alt. Behold the incomplete #GameBoy demake of Mission in Snowdriftland
(Okay, so it is more like a couple screenshots I still had saved...)

Guess who JUST figured out how to enable snapping in Inkscape?

So, show of hands, if I were to open up mini-comms where you pay me $5 to put together fake Gabe Cube skin, would you buy it?

Twofer because I decorate both the inside and outside of my hardware!
(Yes, it runs Linux. Mint to be precise)
Also, man, I really need to get some comms to pay for printing some pixel art stickers now that I think about it.

Fun fact, I have an ASE file whose sole purpose is to contain different brick designs. When I feel like I got it organized, I might distribute the project file for free over on my Buy Me A Coffee page...

Just finished cleaning up the blue grizzly vector graphic, might be another brigade in the strewn-out lore that I cannot seem to bother with actually connecting the dots. (Not sure how transparency looks currently on BSky, so 2 versions just to be safe)
