Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Been meaning to do a follow-up of my Peach drawing for a while. Here's an interpretation of NES Zelda!

Panel 1: Shen is leaning into the panel, angry, his pupils tiny, and a dark shadow around his eyes, yelling "STOP SAYING 'THIS IS YURI' ABOUT EVERYTHING."

Panel 2: Shen clenches his fists, now facing directly towards the viewer, and continues to yell "NOT >>EVERYTHING<< IS YURI!!!!"

Panel 3: A textbox stating "We now go live to a groundbreaking scientific discovery"

Panel 4: A scientist in a lab, a light brown haired woman with a ponytail, glasses, and a labcoat, is standing in front of some microphones and cameras. She says "Yeah, so like ... atoms are girls, it turns out."

Crazy how many very close friends I have now that come directly from social media. It's amazing how many positive messages I've gotten from people, both for game design or just openly talking about gender stuff. God the amount of shit I learned from tumblr years ago! This shit isn't inherently bad!!

WIP work on a crystal planet. The shiny effect is getting there but needs more work; happy with the crystals themselves though!

level drain is like a very specific porn niche and it's always so unrealistic like "oh the hero loses a level and the succubus gains one" thats not how that works. thats not how that works. if the hero is like level 95 and the succubus is level 1 stealing one level would get her to like 30 at least
