Hi, I'm Jordan Durci.

YouTuber, Nintendo lover, gamer, programmer, and maker of #pixelart, designer of #fakemon. Comp. sci. grad from Allegheny College with a Psychology/Philosophy double minor. He/ him.
Bobobubbobo is more Bo than Bubbo.

The disease has reached an inflection point where there's more Bo than Bubbo. The deep purple Bo sprays its fluids with reckless abandon, all the while, the Bubbo is becoming more and more strained. Its hard to say how much longer it has. #pixelart #fakemon

Bobubbo is struggling.

Bobubbo is starting to lose the battle to its disease, which is now becoming conscious and revels in spreading its infection to others. The body is still referred to as a Bubbo, but the new growth is called a Bo, hence the name Bobubbo. #pixelart #fakemon

Meet Bubbo, it's not a boob.

Bubbo's body is full of dangerous fluids that can cause a severe and deadly ailment. The boil-like arms weep these fluids, allowing it to infect any it touches, though it can also spit them as a defense mechanism. #pixelart #fakemon

I got the new Samus & Vi-O-La amiibo, and this thing is both huge and gorgeous. Age of Imprisonment for scale.

After 70ish hours, I've reviewed Z-A over on Backloggd. bckl.gg/pvVP

My god. This election has me actually feeling some hope. In my area, literally every contested election has dodged the Republican candidates except for one that hasn't been called yet where it's a Republican vs. a Labor Party guy. Here's hoping we get the clean sweep.

Looks like I'm a day late, but I wanted to pop in for #PortfolioDay.

I make #pixelart, most often monster designs and #fakemon.

I've recently been on a roll making designs for a Monster Tamer RTS concept I've been thinking up for a little while.

I'm so ready for Z-A, and knowing my usual Pokémon habits, it'll mean I won't be seeing Violet in a long time. Lol

To send it off, I built one last team, making my 30th team. That's the most teams I've ever trained in one game. Tera just made team building so fun.

Flagelloom and Nucleist make for another goo-o of monsters!

Flagelloom's body only has one cell (which is a fact that surprises many when they first encounter it). On close inspection, the mouth that it appears to have is a partially formed vacuole waiting for food to waltz in. #pixelart #fakemon

Today I have a double batch of sprites.

Domen and Cralo are here to spread a little light with a little might.

Domen's visage remains peaceful, no matter how actively it moves with its legs. It's said that it remains cool to the touch, even its bright halo. #fakemon #pixelart

Behold, Oculight is upon you. #fakemon #pixelart

Oculight emits spheres of light that act as sensory organs. A sufficiently old specimen may appear nearly omnipotent, as its numerous lights would be scattered across vast expanses by that time.

I've beaten Monster Hunter Stories now, and I have many thoughts. Check out my review: backloggd.com/u/DurchBurch...

Gastrocompi done growed up. #fakemon #pixelart

Sludragora's shell is rock hard and contains a massive heap of rotting plants. They're sometimes used as beasts of burden in humid regions, though their slowness makes them less desirable than some weaker monsters.

This little guy is kinda wacky. #fakemon #pixelart

Blinkling's lights dance hypnotically around its body, much of which is just an eye. It's not well understood how it eats or if it even does at all.

I've made what's probably my most complex and largest pixel art project in a while: a pixel art version of the wedding portrait that my wife commissioned from @4dozeneggs.bsky.social for our first anniversary.

This is 192x108 pixels and 32 colors.

Who up feedin' they Gastrocompi? #fakemon #pixelart

Gastrocompi is a slug-like monster that eats just about anything that's actively rotting, sweating a potent poison from the spots on its body. It will try just about anything once, even the paint its tamers use to mark it as their own.

Jorobi was a fun concept to try to think up. I knew I wanted it to be a larger candle, but I couldn't think of how to give it arms without making them extra candles à la Lumière. Eventually, the scarf came to me and I was hype af to finally have an idea pinned down.
Alrighty, I've finally gone ahead and made an evolution for Gerobi. Meet Jerobi. It uses the smoke from its smoldering wick to make hasty getaways.

I'll be going live on YouTube today at 7pm Eastern to benefit NEED, a charity that benefits underserved youth in the Pittsburgh region. Please feel free to stop by, and, if you have the money to give, please feel free to donate.

So I beat Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition. Check out my thoughts. Read in full only if you've played, if you haven't, just know this is the only piece of media I've given a perfect score to in years, and, if you really want to read it, maybe read just the start.

I titled my DxD stream "Am I Ballin'?" and it seems I got my answer.

Had to come into work early this morning and got a nice photo of the sunrise next to a crane at the construction site across the street from me. There's something deeply beautiful about the juxtaposition of the natural sky and that lone crane.

I'm so happy I managed to pull the "New Art Coming Soon" Lugia. Huge day for me.

I recently got my own copy of Pokecology imported, and I've been using it to both make some fun sprites of the artwork inside and to practice my Japanese. This thread contains my efforts! #pixelart #pokemon #pokecology
