I didn't play the game too much, but I thought it'd be nice to give @apy216.bsky.social something nice, anyway. Happy birthday!

've been meaning to draw @rainingketchup.bsky.social's character Chrysanthemum for a while now, since she's cute and I like her a lot. The right image is for something I have planned later this month.

If ever I see people send me AI generated shit as reference for what to draw them, I'm just gonna chew them out unprompted.
Just send me like a sketch of what you want... I don't care that you can't draw. Anything over having to look at uninspiring AI garbage with my own two eyes again.

Very proud to have backed Bits & Bops all the way back in 2022! It came out wonderfully, and it's so fun to play too!
The responsiveness, the creative ideas, the challenge. Everything!
Give it a shot if you're a fan of Rhythm Heaven, or just rhythm games in general. It will not disappoint you.

At last, Sunday! Had to draw Mega Man before I stopped doing these consistantly. He's waaaay up there as one of my favourite character designs.
But yes, this might be my last one for a while, but I could post whiteboard or two every now and then.
We'll see.

Friday... I noticed it was Donkey Kong Country 2's anniversary today, so I decided to draw up King K. Rool on the whiteboard to commemorate!

It's Wednesday! Today's whiteboard drawing is King Bowser! His Super Mario World appearance was always my favourite look for him.

Starting this week's daily whiteboard off with Lt. Columbo!
Fun fact: Columbo's actor, Peter Falk, was a talented sketch artist, and drawing was one of his favourite hobbies.
