I just played the demo of Constance, a gorgeous platformer with a painting protagonist. It feels very satisfying to move around, but it can be quite challenging.
Give the demo a look before it's gone!
Haven't played our Steam demo yet? Make sure to do so before it goes down in 2025! 🕹️👀

Luna putting in some time at the gym. Whether any actual exercise occurs remains to be seen.

I had the urge to draw lava lamp Luna in a ponytail, so here we are.

I hear gifs work now if you post them as videos. Time to dust off those old animations.

I saw an adorable pic of Amy dressed as Riamu Yumemi from iDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls by AetherionArt and I just couldn't resist drawing her myself.

Blaze and Rouge's outfits are based on some promotional art from Fate/Grand Order.

In light of their recent #DeathBattle , let us remember the friendlier times...
Wanted to draw some villain dads with their kids. I got inspired by that one ending screen from The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog; you know the one.

- Infinite health

There's also a new "fragile" mode if you want to take double damage for some reason.

Fanart of Maelyth the Astral Goth Witch. This is one of the witches designed by @squeaky.bsky.social . Their characters always have such great color schemes!

Fanart of the ferret vtuber Limealicious
Her design is very cute; the pale pink and green are quite soothing.

Continuing the proud tradition of Hoyoverse fanart for games I've never played.

Unused title screen for Aetheric Twilight.
I wanted to do something like this for the title screen of our game, but ran out of time. I wanted to finish it so there'd be a non-pixel version of our little alchemist hero somewhere.

Check it out if you're interested:

My friends and I just completed our first game jam game for the Pirate Software Game Jam!

Aetheric Twilight is kinda a Pipe Dream rogue-like auto-battler where your pipe setup dictates your actions in combat. We are quite proud of it.

Check it out below!

Akira Toriyama had a big impact on my life. DBZ got me into anime before I even knew what anime was. The shared interest in DBZ fostered a friendship with a lifelong friend as we spent hours trying to download all of the episodes from IRC back in the day (first in RealPlayer format, then DivX).

I got a chance to play the relatively obscure SegaSonic the Hedgehog arcade game recently. It was the debut of Mighty the Armadillo and Ray the Flying Squirrel.

It was a pretty cool bit of history. Controlling Sonic with a trackball is novel, but fairly frustrating.

Myke ( @mykegreywolf.art ) started a "Draw this in your style" with his character Nat and I had to oblige.

(I'm never sure if DTIYS is supposed to be the exact pose or just drawing the character in your style, so here's one of each)

Ms. Scylla from Modern MoGal out on the town. I just love that she's ink-related and her colors are CMYK :)

Modern MoGal is made by shepherd_0821 on twitter.

I think Ben Schwartz has been type-cast as "the blue one".

(Is it still a "high five" if it's between three characters with 3, 4, and 5 fingers?)

Samus Aran wearing that Virgin Destroyer Sweater that was a meme a while back (and also her Power Armor from Metroid Dread).

(Sweater designed by Dishwasher1910 on twitter , NSFW warning)
