Just going to repost this roughly once a month until it actually happens

It should not have come as a surprise to me but it did anyway and that’s that game mechanics (talking video games here) is harder than coming up with the art or the code. Right there next to story. Both have to work and it’s certainly fun to experiment but it’s also super time consuming

Humanoid robots with floaty eyeballs tend to be the kind I like drawing. This one is maybe 25 years old. Drawn by hand and digitally inked in photoshop with a mouse because I couldn’t afford a tablet. Artist Brian Bolland had published a brief tutorial on his style and I emulated it

Four generic playing pieces/characters for Munchkin (or whatever). I couldn't find my light box so I used my phone light to draw the backs.

Looking through my sketchbook - a robot with a face mask? Hardware for using eyebrows to express feelings.

This year I bought a membership to @trueref.bsky.social because it’s hard to take reference pictures of myself with the full pose while holding the camera. It also feels silly doing the pinup pose, lol. Apologies to all orc warrior women.

There are plenty of horse pictures out there in all sorts of common and dynamic poses, but why the hell do we need AI-generated ones? I am just trying to find horse references and this goddamn slop keeps showing up.
