My previous tilesets for stone and dirt did not work the way I wanted with shaders in game for day/night, so new approach! I am much happier with how this one worked out, so lost time but lesson learned and experience gained. 🎨👍🍻

I don’t want to formulate words yet, but my friend Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social of the Disability Visibility Project, has passed.

This means so much to me, as First Aid was my first LCS and the place I would pop into every week when I first started reading comics. James and his staff are exceptional and this is such a cool moment- I hope you can join me for it!

My first book signing ever! Chicago folks- when you're out and about in the midst of Chanukah/Christmas/Winter Solstice/etc. stuff on Saturday, December 20, swing by First Aid Comics in Hyde Park and say hi! Books will be available for purchase and chatting #AlphaFlight with me is free!

For the last three days I have been experimenting and figuring out a way to do a #2D #pixleart dirt style that I like, I think I finally figured it out.

Though it is going to be a pain in the ass to make the full tileset.

I haven't posted in a bit, lots of life stuff going on... lots of ups and downs, but I have still been picking away at things between it all.

Started on the first set of seamless #autotile #tilemap #2D #GameArt this evening.

Only 45 tiles left to go 😬

Thank you for the honest-to-goodness proof it can be delivered to Canada safe and sound- and probably in better shape than if it had arrived via omnijet. And all credit to @inkboardstudios.bsky.social for that cover- he did a WONDERFUL job.

Crazy excited to dig into @maconfleetwood.bsky.social ‘s new book on my favourite Marvel super-team Alpha Flight! I know Daryl picked Barnes & Noble specifically because they shipped to Canada and here is your proof! Gorgeous cover!

"Uncanny Experience," an immersive X-Men convention, lands at Minneapolis Club this weekend, where program manager Daryl Lawrence will debut "True North," a 512-page reference guide to Canadian superhero series Alpha Flight.

Woohooo! *Happy Dance*

This was such a fun and heart warming project to work on.

And now... I don't have to hide it from people anymore! 😁

I still remember issue #12 and how my stomach dropped reading it, and getting to do a homage to it... a dream come true!

Enjoy, #AlphaFlight fans!

Well, as always with learning, the right tool for the job is the best way to improve...

So, I switched over to #Aseprite to create my sprite animations.
A much nicer experience for creating and testing animated sprites!

From Noob to... well less Noobish... 😄

Just some more #smol #pixelart , 3/4 front walk animation done, just have to flip it for the other direction, then on to the 3/4 back.

Well, maybe dinner first... 🫤😁

Did a female version after dinner.
I am calling them Bran and Boudica for now 😁

Trying to keep poses aligned so I can swap some gear between them to reduce assets.

Back and forth between 2D and 3D game assets, playing around with more styles. Today I was experimenting more with #PixelArt with hair and gear layer styles, and colour tones.

Trying to keep things super simple yet not cartoony.
I like how this concept style turned out.

Anyone else having high failure rates when applying Abbott Libre 2 CGM Sensors?

I have been having about a 50% failure over a few months now when activating new ones.

At least Abbott replaces them, but sucks having to constanly replenish them.
