Yo yo #PortfolioDay ~

Phen here! I adore creating visual, nonlinear stories delving into identity, tech, & the surreal absurdity that comes with it all being muxed together. #illustration #comics

Digital illustration of six human cartoon characters standing in an urban street in silhouette against a starry evening sky. The central figure has completely red eyes, red spiky hair, and an electrostatic halo behind his head. He is flanked on both sides by the others with one seated behind him, despondent. They are all holding modern cell phones except the center character. Dark, inky liquid rises from behind them in front of the city buildings and rows of streetlights emitting eerie, red light. A colourful digital illustration of two figures clinging to each other in a futuristic, abstract airport. The female figure on the left is wearing an oversized jacket that has several strips of fabric clamped to it, mimicking how the character on the right is holding onto her. The rightmost figure's jacket and sneakers are embellished with strips that are melting away. There is also a small patch on the back of his hand that is melting as well. Neon signs depicting travel icons and tall decorative columns of light beams surround them. Digital comic page of cartoony people listening to the antagonist looming from atop a streetlight contradict them. Script: "No, no, no, no, no. Something else is goin' on here. 'S not got nothin' to do with yer lil game prototype. Doesn't got anything to do with computers or techy stuff at all. Sten doesn't even know! 'Cuz she told us... not to tell her. There's always two sides to a story." Digital comic page of cartoony people at a wedding reception. The main characters are losing composure as a dramatic scene unravels. Script: "This... is familiar." Flashback panel: "Stens' game has profiles now! Ya wanna try? He said I could share."

✦ Happy Halloween ✦
Five human characters in halloween costumes in front of a chain convenience store with the logo five on it. From left: a woman wearing a gothic vampire costume with five-spiked crown, a woman wearing an astronaut suit holding her helmet, a man wearing a green alien costume with antennae, a man wearing a sooty chimney sweep's outfit with a cigarette, and a man with pale blue doctor's scrubs.

An excerpt from the instruction manual with critical info for playing Ninja Kid (NES). Each type of level has a different objective. At the end of each level, there is a 50/50 chance you will go to Demon Hell. Without the manual, these mechanics are completely unexplained.
An excerpt from the manual for Ninja Kid (NES)... Ninja Kid can walk around Demon Island Map looking for the special scroll that will restore peace to the area. After obtaining the scroll, he goes to the old witch's house to get the chanting spell. Afterwards, Ninja Kid can go to the Demon Castle. (several illustrations of what the Fighting Fields look like) The Fighting Fields appear on the Demon Island Map. They change position through the use of magic. Even on the same map, the positions of the Fighting Fields are sometimes different. OBJECTIVES OF THE FOUR DIFFERENT FIGHTING FIELDS 1. DOG FIGHT In this field, Ninja Kid flies on a kite, and fights off demons. Once he has beaten 10 demons, he will get through the field, and the game is clear. 2. POISON FIELDS Ninja Kid must collect 10 demon spirits in this field. Once he has accomplished this, he will get through this field, and the game will be clear. 3. BLAZING INFERNO Ninja Kid must light 10 candles with a lighter in order to get through this field and clear the game. 4. GUERILLA WARFARE (sic) Once Ninja Kid has beaten 10 demons, he will get through this field and clear the game. *After Ninja Kid clears each of the four fields, two doors will appear. One door leads to the Demon Island Map, the other leads to Demon Hell. (four illustrations of "Ninja Kid on Kite", "Demon Spirit", "Lighter", and "Candle")

Day and the memory cat lurking (memory cat is quite large here, haha, that's like 64gb of ram). #tnstaj #ocsky #ocart
Digital illustration of a cartoony woman with her arms crossed standing close to a row of windows at the face of a building. A large awning is casting a shadow over her head and shoulders, leaving her legs exposed to sunlight. Behind her is a towering, fluffy columnar potted bush that extends out of the top of the illustration. At its base, a black cat sits coyly looking in the woman's direction.

Good thing it's not real! #tnstaj #sketch
Photo of a sketchbook sketch featuring a young man sitting on a bench against a silhouette of a city at twilight. The sky contains a low setting red sun and long, sharp, black clouds radiating ot from it. On the concrete at his feet is a spillage in red that resembles the letter v. The tools used to make the sketch are also photographed: a red sharpie, a black sharpie, and a generic black gel pen.

A very lucky Jason for Friday ✦ #tnstaj #ocart
Digital illustration of a cartoon man dressed casually with an electrostatic ribbon loosely zig-zagging around him. His eyes are closed, he's smiling, and half-covering his face with one of his hands while holding a laptop in the other. There's a rabbit's foot keychain attached to the zipper of his jacket. The word lucky can be seen next to his head.
