I originally designed Meta & Nilla in 2004! That means 2024 marks 20 years of these two dorks! I dunno the exact date I created either of them, but Meta was designed first, probably two or three months before Nilla was. I gotta try to draw 'em a bunch before the year ends!

I do not like the "where are you sitting on this flight" meme because I'm sitting wherever the seat I paid for is, I did not get to see pictures of the people who would be sitting next to me when I bought the seat

the "where are you sitting in this school cafeteria" meme is better

Had a dream I was on the back of Mitsuru’s bike with my arms around her and we passed a billboard for Hershey’s Sundae Pie and I was like “Can we get one??” and she was like “Oh, all right.”

I didn't enter the Mega Man contest because I didn't want to post on the cesspool formerly known as Twitter, which is maaaybe a dumb reason but oh well, I stuck to my guns.

Here was my two-minute idea. He would have been green like a melon soda. I like the soda tab knee pads.

I'll back this up as someone who saw his admission with my own eyes before its retraction. wish I'd thought to screenshot/archive it

I still remember the victim describing an incident where he "called me 'beautiful' while throwing things at me"

and his response "I called you beautiful every day!"
Not to put too fine of a point on it, the man who designed Vac Woman (design K) was outted as a rapist and overall vile person about 10 years ago, yet he somehow managed to come out of it relatively unscathed as a successful artist.

I checked out that Banjo Recomp and while I was at it I checked out Ocarina and Majora too

and it's funny because I was like "This is neat, but I've played Banjo & Majora with free camera, higher FPS and minor QoL features before, on the 360 and 3DS. But ooooh, Ocarina at 60fps with free camera? 😍"

Nintendo was like "maybe if we give Rosalina huge naturals they'll be so distracted they won't notice we slipped LGBTQIA+ people into Tomodachi Life"

I know I already said twice on Bluesky that StarFox Assault is my most-wanted Gamecube game for Switch 2 but MAN online multiplayer would go crazy

just like the original City Trial, I thought Assault’s multiplayer was The Most Fun Thing In The World©️, but I never had anyone to play it with

adding Dixie Kong to Country Returns HD over a year later is really bizarre and really cool. adding only Dixie and not Cranky is even more bizarre and a lot less cool?

I imagine his pogoing would really break levels that were never designed for him, but like, surely Dixie's extra airtime would too?

I write really natural and funny dialogue, and my character design work is strong and appealing, with varied and distinctive silhouettes, good shape language and line economy.
Artists, I think we're all too comfortable sharing our imposter syndrome.

I would love to see you step out of your comfort zone and confidently state what you think you're actually really good at.

No self deprecation, just what you think you're the strongest at

Is anyone brave eniough? 👀

Hi #PortfolioDay!

I'm Izzi and I'm a trans pixel artist and clean up animator. I like to work in limited palettes. I am currently working on Grave Seasons professionally and my own clown game personally. I hope you enjoy my examples of my work!

I've been meaning to change my tablet pen nib for quite a while- I have a tiny baggie of replacement nibs that I bought a long time ago, but I misplaced it in the move a few years ago.

Yesterday I thought "I wonder if I put it in the box the tablet came in, that would be a sensible place to put it"

egg on my face but I only just realized, like, yesterday that when Hobie says "I hate the AM, I hate the PM," he's not saying that he hates the morning and also the evening, he's saying he hates the morning and also the Prime Minister

I want 2026 to be the year I finally start getting to some projects I've been meaning to get to for years.

one of them is a highlight reel of my live reactions to FFVII Remake & Rebirth. here's a great moment I totally forgot about

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

I've been playing archipelago games with a few friends and one of the 'games' available is MS Paint, with the goal to get as close to a target image as possible while other people unlock tools/canvas space for you. This was what I did. MS Paint recreation on the left, original on the right.
