We now have a better look at the upcoming MPG Hot Rod, and it prompts the obvious question — is this just some sort of SS86 upscale?

What do you make of the new Transformers reveal?

As far as expressions go: her face is a screen so typically from the front it'll be flat, but as a stylistic choice I like drawing her mouth as if it's open from the side. She can display anything so she can display a mouth with teeth, etc etc.
Think Megaman Legends facial textures.

These were the last miniatures of 2025. Really enjoyed creating this little vignette, especially the chap holding up the severed head with a smitk on his face. As usual lately the shields are hand painted, the figures are Footsore, Victrix and A&A and the backdrop is by @handiworkgames.bsky.social

It's not a secret that I do a little bit of game writing for William here and there. And do I get AI outlines?
Hell no. I get vague plot points and detailed character descriptions and then I use a special tool called "my own damned brain" to turn them into quests and lore.
It's a miracle.

Wait till they find out how extreme I am. Telling my artist "this is what I imagine" and talking back and forth for weeks while they sketch my ideas and add their own input until I go "oh damn. Yea that's the one."
I forkin love concept sketches and conversation.

Y'all. I bought this game a week ago. I have put in over *53 hours*. For an episodic thing where each chapter takes about 1h to 1h30m, and which so far 4 of 7 has been released. I've always been a fan of narrative choice games but I've never seen anything like this. Truly phenomenal.

Wow who could have ever predicted that the bullshit robot would somehow become just another vehicle for advertising
“This could look like a user asking how much ibuprofen to take for a headache receiving a promoted ad for Advil in the chatbot’s response. Meanwhile, actual results on correct dosage may be brushed to the side, or buried under a mountain of ad text…”
OpenAI Reportedly Planning to Make ChatGPT "Prioritize" Advertisers in Conversation
