Whenever I miss gaming with the boys, I boot up Halo: Reach. Noble team are always there for me when I need them

I love Brandon Sanderson's books if only for the fact they ignited my love for reading as an adult.

I can't remember the last time I stayed up late reading only to wake up early to continue where I left off! It's almost reminiscent of playing GBA under the covers on a school night 🤣

My pixel art/animations are progressing nicely. It feels odd to not be sharing them on socials, I am definitely enjoying the process more though I feel compelled to share despite that

But tbh it's nice to have something cathartic and private to focus on with all the chaos in the world right now

People keep saying the codenames in Metal Gear Solid sound like Megaman X bosses, so I decided to give them actual designs. Matches the scale of my other X mockups.

Something I've been sitting on for several years that I finally decided to wrap up tonight.

I've been taking a break from sharing my art on socials and it's incredibly refreshing.
I don't want to share it anywhere, but also... I need to share to find work 🤣 how do people manage this?? It's such a balancing act

I try to start every year with a painting of that year's zodiac animal. This was 'Rat King' for 2020's year of the rat. I'm still pretty fond of it

Happy New Year!

I never expected to see 2026, so whilst things are rough right now... here is to another year of not giving up. Wishing you all health and happiness ♥️

Though I'd take it easy over the holidays, but No Rest For The Wicked has been kicking my ass. This game is fantastic!

It’s my birthday today 🎂
All I’m wishing for is a bit more reach on my pixel art. If you’ve enjoyed my animations or characters, a repost would help a lot.

I’m working toward junior pixel art roles and trying to get my work seen. Appreciate everyone who’s stuck around.

Merry Christmas all. Xmas can be very socially draining, so remember to take it slow, take breathers if needed and try to make the most of it 🎄

I've never delved into a Kojima game, but I've always been intrigued by the level of respect he has generated from peers and fans alike. This was an insightful watch, he's clearly a very intelligent guy
I'm still not sure I want to jump into his games, but if I were... Which one should I start with?

Kept my eye on No Rest For The Wicked since it was announced, think it's finally time I take the plunge. I'd like to say it's because of the co-op update, but my friends don't play those kinda games...

Only Steam Replay can make me feel truly seen

I am narrowing down what I want to play over the holidays, and The Lords of the Fallen having their 2.5 update is speaking to me. Had my eye on this franchise for awhile, seems like the devs really value their playerbase so I think I'll hop in and check it out

Another banger! Top 3 Gold Don for me, among Usopp and Pudding. Drum Island was such a pivotal moment in the manga for me, so very happy to have pulled this card.

Caught up on the Game Awards, Clair Obscur cleaned house! Well deserved and honestly, what a beacon of hope for the industry as a whole.

Control sequel looked really cool, Ontos caught my eye too. Curious to know what you guys are excited for! Let me know
