Three month update: After having long since gotten my awesome commission from @yardleyart.bsky.social framed, I've been wanting to try something more with it. So this week I tried isolating his linework digitally and then filling it in using color picking for fun! #KidIcarus #KidIcarusUprising
A commission created by Sonic the Hedgehog Archie/IDW comic artist Tracy Yardley of Pit from Kid Icarus: Uprising, lovingly placed in a plastic frame with a black exterior and a gold interior. A plush toy of an Inkling from Splatoon is positioned in front of it, as personal identification.

Just found Geoff's look, 8,900G. 13,350G on Splatnet.

Three slots with Quick Respawn by default.

I think I'm starting to see the thought process here. . .?

Excuse me, my son has an entirely different set of diseases, this is libel. I know exactly how cute my linguini is

If he looks a little unstable, that might be the whole being made of dead human souls thing the Underworld started doing between games, but I'm not gonna worry about that too hard
A picture of an orange Inkling from Splatoon pointing angrily and accusingly at the viewer while a Shemum from Kid Icarus Uprising is perched on their head. The Shemum is currently biting them and the Inkling is poisoned, but that's not the point.

Immediately diving in with hot takes:

- Shemum got a glow up in Uprising and should at least be bottom of good snek tier, even if they are in fact, an evil snek, and also sometimes one or more dead humans

- Nuregami is perfect snecimen tier, not receiving criticism at this time /lh
Image of a Shemum enemy from Kid Icarus: Uprising, which is a blue snake with giant fangs and golden feathery wings Image of Nuregami from the video game Okami, a resplendent white snake with feathery accents and artisinal red accent lines. A deity with power over water, she is beauty and grace incarnate, except for the fact that she is currently stuck in a glass jar and doesn't quite seem to have the leverage to get out.

I figured that I'd better keep on a roll with this character creator before my attention span tilts in another random direction, so I went ahead and made another batch of four.

Yee haw?

Finally got around to drawing something long, LONG overdue.

This is Gal, an. . .inkfish. She mostly sticks to Salmon Run. Kinda have to prod her into playing Turf War. She seems fresh, if quirky, but there's something off about her, too. . .

#Splatoon #SplatoonOC #KidIcarus #KidIcarusUprising
Splatoon inkfish OC (for lack of a better term) modeled after the Galactic Fiend Kraken from Kid Icarus: Uprising. She is wearing an old Team Ninja Splatfest tee that has been torn up, and Hunting Boots. On one side of the image is text that reads: "Gal" - Mains Krak-on Roller and Bloblobber - Eggsecutive VP - Is eating the salmon - Ninja Obsession - Do NOT mention pirates - Mild fear of chickens. . .? - Not that fond of Turf (the following two in small text) - Secretly an artificial lifeform created by Dyntos - Is actually shrunk from her true size . This version of the image has her wearing a pair of Tinted Shades and making a triangular frown.

I already had these four built up from the last few times a strange mood took me, so I've basically doubled my stocks tonight.

Nothing like having a good selection to horse around with, eh?

Arbitrarily remembered that Pony Town exists and that I last left my account with a woeful deficiency of Kid Icarus characters, so I spent the evening today trying to rectify that.

Experimenting with character creators can be fun sometimes.

SO. After weeks of eagerly waiting, SOMETHING just got put on the #NintendoMusic app. So it's high time I start rolling out my ridiculous idea. Redicarus, even.

So Nintendo has to take usage data on this app, right?

I got a message to send.

. . .You, reading this. Join me.

Finally got the chance to try out the sweet roll recipe in The Elder Scrolls Cookbook! Took the liberty of replacing the background with a public domain image to make things look snazzier, but. . .

. . .Look at them. Look at my sweetrolls.

They're real.

#Skyrim #TheElderScrolls #TES #TESV
An image of a plate with a sweet roll on it, with another plate with two more sweet rolls on it positioned behind it. A sweet roll is a small bundt cake topped with frosting that originates from the video game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. A public domain image of a brick wall color-shifted red, some cross-hatch shading, and the phrase "Let me guess" in Permanent Marker font has been used to replace the original background of the image.

Managed to secure some critical items over the past month in case things become harder to get down the line: Prima guide, 3-disk soundtrack, Nintendo Power 275. Collection is starting to get increasingly tricky to photograph all at once! But with 12 years to wait. . . #KidIcarus #KidIcarusUprising

Some extra views of the Rat King by @itsmrkittys.bsky.social for clarity, especially since my review photo uploaded scuffed on Etsy. Reviews from other happy owners are also SENDING me. "Beautiful conglomeration of beasts." "What more can be said."

I love the internet. #Pikachu #Pokemon #EnamelPin

Got my #pinmail from Etsy today! Both with a culinary vibe, funnily enough. #Splatoon Woomy is from Hazelnut's Spread, and #Pokemon Pikachu Rat King is from @itsmrkittys.bsky.social , both charming! And hey, thanks for the candy and sticker, Mr. Kittys! #EnamelPin
Image of two hard enamel pins. One is a pin of the word "Woomy" with an orange splatter on the left side and a blue splatter on the right. The other is a pin of a rat king made of five Pikachu. Both are on paper envelopes, with the paper envelope underneath the Woomy pin styled like that of a small local grocer, and the paper envelope under the Pikachu rat king pin styled like that of a small local diner. The rat king pin is also paired with a sticker of a hot dog, a piece of mango Hi-Chew candy, and a business card.

Saw how excited @theoctopuslady.bsky.social got at receiving fanart a few weeks ago, and couldn't help but think that she deserved to feel excited like that again. Proportions ended up a bit lanky, but wanted to see if I could interpret her as a #Splatoon Octoling!

Realized I haven't doodled something just for myself in a little while, so I decided to get an idea I had for a #Splatoon OC out of my head. The Pacific Barreleye is one of those 10/10 fish, so I wanted to think about what an especially silly fella might be doing in Inkopolis.
An image of a Splatoon OC modeled after a Pacific Barreleye, a brownish-black fish with a transparent head that shows their exposed brain and a pair of shielded eyes on thick eyestalks. He is wearing a grey suit and a small pair of glasses, and is holding a sword with a golden hilt. There is text beside the image explaining that he is a salaryman from the Deepsea Metro who thinks he has been isekai'd, but is incorrect and actually just woke up in Inkopolis after hitting his head.

Does anyone know any storefronts that are selling #KidIcarusUprising themed hard enamel pins? I have these three awesome Pit pins from @pindiegamer.bsky.social , @appeypie.bsky.social , and @reddachi.bsky.social so far, and just ordered the Dark Pit from Pindie. Could really use more. #KidIcarus

SO. A while back I made a #KidIcarusUprising / #SuperSmashBros themed #Palutena halo #EnamelPin design a while back that I sell on #Etsy. Figured I'd share just in case someone on Bluesky might vibe with them? #KidIcarus #SmashBros #SSB #SSBU www.etsy.com/listing/1211...

Being a dweeb and then working on a graphic design degree is like getting flashbanged. I can never get the right link I want until the exact moment I least expect it. #Figma

Just got around to watching #MinecraftLive this evening, and I just. I just want to gently hold the Dried Ghast so much. I want to rehydrate them and give them a happy life. They talked about "building opportunities" and I winced internally because nooo SAVE THEM. 10/10 best #Minecraft mob in years.

Happy 13th anniversary, #KidIcarusUprising 🏹! 12 years to go. . .or maybe this year will be lucky rather than unlucky. Hey, I can dream, can't I? Although this far into the wait, one needs a way to pass the time. In my case, I've started resorting to. . .COLLECTING. Enjoy? #KidIcarus #SuperSmashBros

The Pit commission here is mine! I went to my first ever con at this exact location six years ago half for Tracy, but was sadly too strapped for cash back then to grab a commission. Super happy to correct that mistake this time! Thank you again so much for this, Yardley! It's so cool it's surreal!
