Did you know in 2012 I wrote and illustrated a book? It's a 100% factual book about prehistoric vegetables, full of very accurate illustrations of these marvellous beasts. All of the book's profits go towards Lung Cancer research.

An illustration depicting a Carrotosaurus, enjoying some time by a flowing river in a clearing of the forest. The front cover of the book "Cucumbertops and Other Animals of The Veggiesaur Kingdom", a Cucumbertops stands proudly on the cover, on a grassy hilltop. An illustration of some flying creatures - a flock of Yamphorhynchus are bothered as a huge Peanutcoatlus soars overhead above the canopy of the forest. An illustration depicting a Leeklodocus being hunted by two carnivorous Sallotrodemus, along the riverbank.

I think a lot about this bit by Kazuya Niinou about how an RPG can be one thing on your screen and another thing in your brain
How to use your imagination When your party stays at the Inn overnight, what do they eat? If you ever catch yourself wondering that, then you know you've formed an attachment to your characters. With Etrian Odyssey's characters, you only give them a name and a portrait, so no matter how you think of the character, it's technically just your imagination. But even in that case, without your imagination, the character is nothing. For example, a landsknecht who uses an axe might eat his meat with his bare hands and no utensils, but one who wields a sword might prefer a knife and fork at dinner. You might think differently, but... If you can imagine small details like that, you might find that you enjoy this kind of RPG even more. The essence is an RPG is using numbers to make calculated decisions, but if you invest those "numbers" with your own feelings, you can spice up the game a little. Think about this: In your party of five, three characters are dead. Two of them are alive, but they only have a couple of HP left, and no TP. They're certain to die in their next turn, giving you a game over. Number-wise, those characters are useless, but how do you imagine they feel about that? What kind of people are those 2 characters who are about to die? Try to imagine things like that in the brief time before your game ends. Are they a landsknecht and a ronin, who'll die facing the enemy and laughing? Is it a protector, ordering the weak medic to run with his last breath? The game over screen looks the same every time, but in your imagination, it could play out very differently. The game itself isn't that big of a thing; what you imagine for yourself is much more fun. We hope that the player uses this game as a tool, to create dramatic and fun situations in your own minds.

CHUN-LI
Fanart of Chun-Li from Street fighter (her original design from SF2). It's a fullbody illustration that appears digitally painted. She is standing proudly with clenched fists, looking at the viewer strongly but gently. The background is detailed with a large superimposed more realistic portrait of her taking up the top half, and a dragon on the bottom half. There are three small panels with simple illustrations of Ryu and Cammy looking stoic, and one of Juri-han being silly. "CHUN-LI" is written at the top.

Starting the year off how I mean to carry it on #wip
A clear opening at the foot of a waterfall in the middle of the forest. In the foreground is an iPad I am holding with one hand, with some pixel art of that fishing mimiga from Cave Story being drawn on it.

If anyone wants help with this, I recommend the app “One sec.”, which I use on Reddit, Instagram and here. It allows me 5 min of scrolling before intervening, where I have those apps locked for an hour (you can adjust the timing however you want). It’s been a godsend.

Were 90s kids clamoring for a Batman cartoon with 1930s Art Deco aesthetics? Is that what the market demanded? Or did some really smart creative people have a vision and make a genre-defining hit that sustained 20 years of TV shows? If you want success look for vision, not just metrics.

⭐ favorite personal art of 2025 ⭐

feel like I fell off a little in the second half of the year lol, but honestly I'm pretty proud of myself overall. hoping for more consistency next year!
recreation of a popular Squid Game meme using my OC Rosaline Belville in place of Seong Gi-hun. in the top image she appears young and full of life, while in the bottom she is much older, haunted by all that she's seen. the background uses screenshots from the actual show. concept art depicting a climactic battle in the skies. Maya rides on her gravboard, using debris from the conflict as a makeshift sword and shield to defend herself from an Empty Vessel swarm. she swerves to dodge an allied resistance fighter, flames bursting from its damaged wing as it careens through the air. the Empty Vessels pursue Maya with a variety of over-the-top facial expressions, their arms twisted into sharp lances. concept art depicting a surreal moment with Tenma-00. she's found herself on her knees in a field of grass, hair caught in the wind as the distant and incomprehensibly massive silhouettes of the Obelisks slowly turn against a blood-red starry sky. a rainbow-colored void leaks from the fracture on the left side of Tenma's face. she looks past the camera at something, wearing a horrified and guilt-ridden expression. artwork depicting @cassetteno9.bsky.social's OC Bunnie (left) hanging out with my OC Maya (right). the two are dressed for a double date with their robot boyfriends Hunnie and Clem, respectively - Bunnie wears gold jewelry, a frilly green top, brown split hem pants and black open-toed heels. Maya's jewelry is silver with blue earrings and a matching necklace, with a black crop top, high-waisted denim jeans and brown high heel sandals with clear straps.

Day 2 - A little red #Pikmin. I think I stole this idea, but I can't remember from who!
I tried colored pencil on this one. What do you think? I'm not so sure about it.
For me, the first Pikmin game left a big impact as a kid. The 30 day time limit gave me a lot of stress!

Seeing a lot of new artists migrating here after some unfortunate developments on the other platform so I thought I’d help out by putting together a Pixel Art Starter Pack!
