style test for an idea i might have to finally tell this story. temporary SF6 World Tour background hur dur. hmmmmmmn
October 30, 2025 at 4:22 PM
a cheap edit of Geese's Real Bout Special win portrait, trying to combine it with bits of the strong art styles of Dominated Mind and Wild Ambition. most of my art time is tied up elsewhere, but i had to get this out of my system.

hmm....
September 16, 2025 at 2:21 PM
had an idea, blah blah, not as attached to it as i thought i was byeeee

was gonna wait until i finished the character animations, but other things are taking priority. lazily upscaled filter-fest BG and some HUD overhaul stuff, though. not a fan of some of the lettering. will revisit some day

In Salicibus Auri, 2020. been a while since the last time i painted.

aaaaaand a vague mockup of how i'd handle Demitri's aura in an HD way. meh.

ONE MORE before i take my ass to bed. remember when i wanted to start a clothing brand mid-pandemic? yeah, no one else does, either. i thought i was clever for ripping off a CM Punk shirt for Charlie from #streetfighter. i sold one. the service discontinued the shirt style soonafter. oops.

i keep forgetting that bsky is weird with GIF support. my bad, dudes.

vs dragon ninja.

aaaand let's end for now with an attempt to streamline KoFXIII->CvS2 sprite conversion with about 70-80% accuracy and minimal work. trying to fight depression during the pandemic. REMEMBER THE PANDEMIC?

SFA3-style comm for @eljabroni.bsky.social that is STILL one of my favorite pieces ever. thank you thank you thank you
August 10, 2025 at 6:08 PM
a graphic novel OR a game OR a movie OR an animated series OR whatever i want to hyperfixate on this week that i'lleventuallyfinishipromise
August 10, 2025 at 6:08 PM
random digital art. sometimes i do that! various points. over the last decade or so.
August 10, 2025 at 6:08 PM
more "what if i made games like i remember them and now how they actually were" experimentation.
August 10, 2025 at 6:08 PM
for NOW, some of the ones i definitely remember. COVID-era boredom, 2010 edition.
August 10, 2025 at 6:08 PM
other unfinished #pixelart shit.
August 10, 2025 at 5:06 PM
along with a test run to see if "remaking" SF1 would be a viable project. had fun, but ehhhhhhh... nah.
August 10, 2025 at 5:03 PM
#SFA3Max characters getting added in the latest patch reminds me of these dudes from a while back. a #pixelart test to see if i could match the style instead of just plopping CvS2 assets into a different game.
August 10, 2025 at 5:03 PM
a "heat haze" effect test on some SNK assets for...something. a few years old now. might revisit. whenever @priceofreason.bsky.social gives the call. flicker is the result of shitty rushed optimization, probably.
August 10, 2025 at 4:57 PM
2013? wanted to homage Phantom Dust as part of a character select screen. could do better with the 12 years of experience after the fact, but hey! probably never gonna work on ESPer oopsidoodle~
August 10, 2025 at 4:57 PM
a while back, i had a not-so-original idea for Dissidia as a traditional fighter, wherein the roster would use more side characters, and level 3 supers would utilize a summon. memes happened, and this is the idea that stuck in my head for a while. NEVER gonna finish it, but it's out there now.

barely #pixelart, but an attempt to imitate/update something classic.
August 5, 2025 at 10:09 AM
old #pixelart dump, 2 of iunno. featuring a sample of the stuff i did for @priceofreason.bsky.social 's SamSho RPG translation.
