I really hope the addition of Akira bike in Metroid Prime 4 indicates that this game is on a scale that no one initially anticipated. Retro Studios doesn’t make bad games, and the addition of a fully open world here would only mean that good things are coming!

Bro teleports in a shadowy black cloud. they’re not even trying for plausible deniability at this point, lol!😆

Also the new Fire Emblem they just announced features plausible deniability Alucard as a prominent guest star!

Konami should get on that patent over brooding platinum-blonde vampire pretty-boys to keep Nintendo from damaging the Castlevania IP. 🤪

He’s an anime style, androgynous, platinum blonde descendant of dragons in black armor who looks exactly like Alucard from the Castlevania series.

Why did no one mention that THE Charlie Cox was one of the lead characters in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33!?

I was going to wait but given this new information, I NEED to play this game now!
A closeup three-quarter angle screen shot of Gustave from the hit 2025 game Claire Obscure: Expedition 33. He has a well trimmed beard despite his face being covered in dirt and grime. His hair is brown, dusty, and wavy and his somber expression is accentuated by his dark eyes, slightly pursed lips, and sharp nose. A promotional poster for Daredevil: Born Again featuring Charlie Cox as the titular superhero. The poster depicts Daredevil in a three-quarter close-up photo wearing his tactical dark red combat suit complete with two small devil horns on the front of his mask. The lighting is red and moody, and the character is standing in front of the TV show’s logo. The overall composition of the shot is similar to the screenshot of Gustave from Claire Obscure: Expedition 33.

At last! It's finished!

Corrupted Zero Suit Samus took me 4 streams and about 16 hours of total work, but I'm super happy with how it turned out. Plus, I got it done before the end of #fanartfriday 😅

Thanks for the support chat! (Read alt text for more)

A feral and enraged Zero Suit Samus crawls through the smoldering wreckage of the derelict Galactic Federation Ship: Valhalla. Veins of Phazon, a neon-blue radioactive mutagenic slime, spider across her face, pulsating and glowing. Strings of Phazon drip from her mouth, and her irises glow a bright Cyan against black sclera. Her hair has been bleached white by Phazon corruption. By the power of Phazon, Samus will soon be reborn as a Dark Metroid Queen, just like her nemesis Metroid Prime.

This is the best possible outcome for the Zelda Movie. Two young, relatively new, classically trained actors **from the UK**!

So happy Nintendo and the collaborating studio had the good sense to stay as far away from star power casting trends as possible, unlike the Mario Movie.
Two side by side closeup photos. One of a young lady with long golden hair and a blue dress. The other a teenage boy with short brown hair and a brown and gray farmer’s tunic. The young lady is Bo Bragson (on the left) cast as Princess Zelda and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth (on the right) cast as Link in the upcoming Legend of Zelda movie.

I'm almost finished with Phazon Virus Zero Suit Samus! Just one more stream for polish and my Metroid fanart magnum opus will be done.

Thanks so much for sticking with me through this process, chat!

A mostly complete composition of Phazon Infected Zero Suit Samus from Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. She's hunched over, crawling on her knees through the narrow maintenance corridor of the destroyed Galactic Federation Ship: Valhalla. The corridor is on fire around her as she claws at the claustrophobic walls. Her face is covered in glowing blue, radioactive veins as the Phazon levels in her bloodstream reaches a lethal critical mass. Her hair is completely gray, her expression is feral and full of rage, as her eyes glow an eerie cyan blue. An incomplete colored composition of Zero Suit Samus with a gray background composed of minimal line art. She's crawling toward the viewer's perspective through derelict space ship debris. Her expression is pained and full of rage as she grasps at the confined walls around her. A grayscale line-art composition of the same Zero Suit Samus art composition.

It's official...I have peaked.
Chiitan noticed me.
A screenshot of one of my posts that got liked by the official Chiitan account. The post reads "Tomorrow's art stream is scheduled! At the very least, Zero Suit Samus will be finished by the end of it. I'll do my best to finish the background, but no promises. See you all there! :D" The accompanying thumbnail for the live stream depicts a fanart piece of mine with a Phazon corrupted Zero Suit Samus. She's got a beastly rage-filled expression as glowing blue veins spider-web across her face and Phazon blood drips from her teeth, mouth, and lips.

Progress update on Phazon Virus Zero Suit Samus!

Shading's done, and we laid down some color overlays. Next time we'll be working on spreading the Phazon infection, ambient lighting, and adjustment layers. Next, the background!

The gameplay loop of Elden Ring: Nightreign fits my busy schedule perfectly. Top 10 favorite, easy.

By taking just a few runs at a time, I've managed to sink 70+ hours into the game. The Rememberance questlines are incredible too.

Halberd Bird FTW!
A screenshot of Guardian from Elden Ring: Nightreign in his "Dawn" costume. Guardian is a tall and commanding anthropomorphic eagle in heavy armor who wields a wing shaped great-shield and a Halberd with feathers etched into the metal of its blade. One of his wings is withered and broken. His dawn skin features white and gold holy robes with gold chain accents on his face and talons in addition to his heavy armor. The "Dawn" costume also features golden glowing eyes and all white feathers.

Finished the sketch and line art for my Phazon Corrupted Zero Suit Samus during last night's stream. Onward to colors, shading, and highlights in the next one!

Shares and re-posts are much appreciated!

The menus in Kid Icarus: Uprising for the 3DS were a total vibe.
A screenshot of the main menu from Kid Icarus: Uprising for the 3DS. The top screen features flowing and elegant calligraphic plant designs in various shades of black, red, and pink. The bottom screen menu icons and their respective colors are: Solo in red, Together in orange and yellow, Vault in green, Options in purple, Street Pass in blue, and AR (augmented reality) in a deep muted blue. Each option is encapsulated by a unique shape, all of them resembling different stylistic takes on text bubbles from comic books or graphic novels. A screenshot of the Vault menu from Kid Icarus: Uprising for the 3DS. The top screen features a cartoonish angel silhouette in black and flowing calligraphic olive branch, vine, and treble clef designs, all in varying shades of green. The bottom screen menu icons read: Idols, Music Gallery, Power Portrait, Offering, Idol Toss, and Records. Each option is encapsulated by its own parallelogram. Side-by-side screenshots of the two Solo menu variations from Kid Icarus: Uprising for the 3DS. The top screen on the Left variant features a pearly, iridescent hall with three ornate doors. The hall reflects various shades of blue, pink, and gold; and the stairway of floating glass steps leading up to the door in the center shines with a heavenly light. The top screen variant on the right shows a forested hall with ornate stone tile flooring, boldly lit by a gold, orange, and red sunset streaming through the canopy of dense trees. This hall also features three ornate doors. A pillar of gold light falls from above on the center door at the top of the tapered stairwell. The bottom screen for both variants is very similar with only a few color palette and icon differences. Both prominently feature three large arrows that point to each of the three doors on the upper screen. The left arrow is smallest and reads "Practice Range", The very large arrow in the center is a fully saturated red and reads "Move Out!", The third arrow is mid-sized and reads "Arms Altar". There are other small options on the edges of the screen that read "Idol Toss", "Gear", and "Treasure Hunt".

A few people who watch my stuff and joined the Discord are stuck experimenting with art and graphic design on Chromebooks that can't even run Krita very well, so I'm going to be starting a series of Photopea tutorials geared toward #vtubers and content creators to ease their pain.

Keep an eye out!

I know it's been over a month since I last streamed, but here's

how the thumbnail started V.S. how it's going

A Screenshot from Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. The camera is above Samus as she raises a clenched fist in the air that radiates with ethereal purple energy. Her arm mounted energy canon and her futuristic red and bronze power armor reflect the light streaming in from the jungle canopy above. A YouTube thumbnail for a SirCrossPad live stream. It features the same camera angle of Samus raising her fist in the air, however she is wearing the red, blue, and cyan, Hazard Shield power armor from Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and is enveloped in a golden glow.

A pleasant surprise to see Urchin Underpass added to Splatoon 3’s stage rotation!

This was one of my favorite stages in Splatoon for the WiiU. Now, all that’s missing is Moray Towers.

Recently learned Retro Studios, thr studio behind the Metroid Prime games, was founded by former senior members of Acclaim, the closed studio that made Turok, and now I can’t unsee it!

My last three brain cells after waiting more than 17 years for Metroid Prime 4:
A closeup of Samus in her Power Suit from Metroid Prime 4: Beyond’s key art, complete with a purple glowing visor. There are three aliens behind her, each one with a single glowing purple eye. They’re shrouded in a ghostly purple mist. The aliens’ faces look vaguely like the heads of nerve cells.
