Quote your art with fire on 🔥
A slender figure wearing red low-cut leather pants and a matching ragged open-front long coat strides across a pile of burnt and blackened rubble. Around them rages a blazing inferno. Their left arm merges with a gigantic bronze buster sword. Where their dace should be is only a black blur, marked by a singular giant golden eye with a slit pupil.

On top of Mount Yōtei
All covered in snow
I lost to Takezo
For parryin’ too slow

(I did beat him eventually, though!)

#GhostOfYotei
The snow-filled caldera of Mount Yōtei from Ghost of Yōtei. The sun peeks over the far lip on the left of frame. In the foreground the small figure of a rōnin wearing a broad hat is silhouetted against the snow.

That’s a long way to go for pedestrian access!
A yellow sign on the outside corner of a white building. The sign has black text. At the top it says “5km” in a red outline circle. Below it says “PEDESTRIANS WALK WAY” with a red arrow pointing down.

I spent most of this month building a cosy witch’s cottage in #InfinityNikki. I was going to enter it in the current housing competition but it turns out I probably won’t be able to log in on the web to upload photos before the deadline, so here you go!
A small house with dark roof tiles, brown wooden frame, white walls and grey stone base at the edge of a pond, surrounded by pink flowers and blossoming trees. Nikki waves from the brickwork front porch area, wearing a black outfit with a witch’s hat. Nikki in a shorts-and-jacket black witch outfit stands on a grassy slope. Behind her is a small house behind a low hedge, under dappled sunset light through pink blossom trees. The house is made of grey stone, white planks, brown wooden beams, and has a dark slate grey tiled roof. Nikki in a black stands at the bottom of a staircase in a cluttered room lit by golden light from above. The foreground is dominated by a gramophone, tea set, and stack of books on a low table. To the right is a small round table with a gold-edged purple cloth and a matching chair. Other rooms are visible behind, but obscured in darkness. Vines grow down from a high skylight. Nikki in a black modern witch’s outfit shows off a dim kitchen area with brick floor, a fireplace, and a dark wood table and shelf against the outside wall where a small window lets in some light. A set of copper pans hangs on the far wall. The low ceiling is made of wood beams draped in plants.

“Video games cause violence”

Me just trying to grind enough Astralite to upgrade my cosy home.

Me today

If you see this, post a witch!
Nikki from Infinity Nikki standing atop stairs in a dark wooden room lined with bookshelves. She has pale skin, round glasses, and short black hair with a dark magenta under-dye. She is wearing a large black witch’s hat with black and purple checks under the brim, black overall shorts with a black crisscross strappy top visible underneath, long dark lace gloves, one black and one dark magenta thigh-high stockings, and chunky black leather boots.

...the anime starting in Luna is, I think, a nod to that original concept. And it also helps that most people are passingly familiar with the original setup, allowing them to exclude it and take liberties later on.

I also cosplayed as the Count in 2007, and still have the beard to this day!
A cosplay of The Count and Haydee from Gankutsuo: The Count of Monte Cristo. The pair stands hand in hand at the top of stone steps outdoors. The Count has light blue skin and long dark blue hair, black shoes and pants, a black coat with ornate red and gold cuffs, a lilac jabot, and white gloves holding a gold cane. Haydee has white skin, pointed ears, long braided green hair, and a green painted kimono-like robe over a plainer pink one.

Happy New Year! May all your wishes come true. 💫

She has pale skin and long brown hair in plaits, and is wearing a broad-brimmed straw hat, round glasses, a pair of one-strap knee-length brown overalls, a long sleeve black and brown crop top, black knee-socks and brown boots.

Finally getting my style together in Infinity Nikki. I really need to find a flat cap or bakerboy/newsboy cap though!
Nikki sitting in a balloon-suspended basket seat over a lake with islands and a castle in the background. She’s wearing a two-tone brown beret, a brown vest with lapels over a long sleeve white shirt with a blue bow at the neck, brown fingerless gloves, brown plaid shorts, white stockings, and brown leather ankle boots with fold-over cuffs. Nikki standing on a wooden dock, shading her eyes with one hand against the golden late-afternoon light. She’s wearing a two-tone brown beret, a brown vest with lapels over a long sleeve white shirt with a blue bow at the neck, brown fingerless gloves, brown plaid shorts, white stockings, and brown leather ankle boots with fold-over cuffs.

Beret and shorts outfit is cute! I started with something similar (different colours) but have apparently shifted to Heidi mode. My goal is ouji or EGA.

Nikki wearing a long sleeved green and cream frilly dress with brown stockings and boots, brown beret, and mid-length brown hair.

Since it’s very different from a typical RPG, I put these on the back cover of Blade Bind:

Given the conventions of translation it’s possible to Romanise Naruto (ナルト) into English as “Nart”. And following that same logic, his son’s name can be interpreted as “Bort”.

Here is my cat posing for a Monster Hunter icon.
A black cat curled up in a patch of sun on cream carpet. The way he’s bent around and arranged his legs makes him fit into a square shape, like a Monster Hunter creature icon.

Working on ~aesthetics~ instead of, y’know, actual game systems. #MadeInDreams #DreamsPS4
A youth clad in black stands on the high balcony of a dark stone building, overlooking a mist-filled pine forest. In the distance, an imposing Gothic mansion perches atop a mountain ridge, backlit by the silvery full moon.
