Posting some context for my sphinx designs since this is a new platform from the one they were introduced on and there's new eyes here. They basically came from a school assignment depicting metamorphosis. Baby cupids mature into sphinxes...

BREAKING: Silksong will be out on September 4. Two weeks from today. Really.
Often, games that take 7+ years to make are plagued by mismanagement and painful burnout. But for Silksong? Team Cherry was having a blast. They still are.

I made a video essay! It's a love letter to 3d software crammed in between several hate notes about 3d software companies. Maybe it can be something you put on in the background while you do art. :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4md...

2025 seems to be the year of the Visual Novel for me huh. First @nthcircle.bsky.social ‘s incredible ongoing series of the Devil got me hooked, and now I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole. Heaven Will Be Mine, Enjoy the Diner, and Scarlett Hollow have been banger after banger back to back.
