Drew my husband for the first time in a while. Was nervous of if they'd even like it at all.

This is a concept sketch for a ranged character--he's slated to be Hops' partner-in-crime in Spectrumize, too. Techy guy. Highly accurate in many, many ways.

Mind big open areas with high visibility.

Pokemon that I'd hope people would associate with me.

I'm nothing if not consistent...

Oops, I made them look more sinister. Definitely not cooking up any funny thoughts in that cute little head of his

Portrait for continuation of Spectrumize, one of my jam games

Which project did I make this Prism Piece key item for? Instructions unclear: it could fit in either Somewhen or that one jam game.

I wonder if...

Nah, maybe you'll find out some other #screenshotsaturday

🐰Whee! 10 games to get to know me! This doesn't even scratch the surface since I love all entries that belong to each of these series. FFT gets special love even if FFX is already there representing it. >:3

Otherwise, Harvest Moon 64 or Slime Rancher 1 would have also been fine!

Reposting cause I don't know if we shared this and cause I wanna bookmark it. I'm still so happy with this amazing piece of Hopscorch by @glairedaggers.bsky.social !!!

Definitely one of my favorites. I seriously need to replay a Klonoa title soon. It's been far too long.

Probably my most favorite Discord pfp now cause of the very first frame I apparently started it off with after cropping it LMAO

So chill until they aren't.

The initial sketch. He is a rat with a secret. Always did like monsters and summons a bit too much...

He is proficient in Black, Blue, and Time magics.
Thinking of giving him a yo-yo or pendulum as a weapon or something...

(WIP) Wouldn't it be funny if I redrew one of my oldest characters I made almost exactly 20 years ago as a boss? What if I gave him a new class and outfit to go along with that funny Mega Stone-lookin' thingie and animated it in Godot?

What if I did timeskip as a prank? SO funny.

Dude, I'm still so proud of this stupid booster pack sprite I made for Somewhen (RPG Maker version).

Gosh, I should make some non-standard packs, don't you think?

I feel like I've played this game before...
November 8, 2025 at 12:13 PM
Alright. I changed quite a few things in shape and tone. I brought back some pixel stuff I just haven't done since I was a fresh new pixel artist, like additional detail in the eyes and textures for large portions of flat color in terms of material hints.

Warming up for something good.

Regular people already suck at communication. They always conveniently skip to conclusion without context, with or without good body language, now even the clues I sorta keyed in on have atrophied somehow with internet and now AI use. Everyone at large is confusing to me now.

Speak and do plainly.

Meet Floe. Codename "Flowtorch".

Female character inspired by mainly Blaziken (with a baseball twist), secondary inspo by Articuno and Kyurem (and its other halves). Like Hopscorch, appears to be a typical animal but is using some sort of her design/equipment to hide mythological parts.

Art for previous comm. Its getting spookier, so here is something I absolutely enjoyed combining my regular artwork and a game engine to handle aftereffects... I use #godotengine to finish my works off.

May do this for my Z-A character to get her out of my system.

Some old art that I never really showed you guys. I made a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Red/Blue Rescue Team post-game Gengar. He helps the post office now and has fun with it.

I figured I'd post it again because of spooky season.
Welcome back, Gengar!

This was such a fucking Final Boss question to have for me specifically. Ugh. Might as well have been asking me how I feel about Somewhen, my longest-standing incomplete project.

You best believe my answer was the first one in the list, chosen without hesitation.
October 30, 2025 at 6:20 AM
Wow. This should surprise literally no one who knows me well.

I got hit with Fire-type twice (lol), so I hit some other types it thought I was first.

Link in replies.

Sorry for lack of Somewhen updates or other content. Got really sucked into Z-A customization options as I do that thing where I try to give my little self-insert the real me.

I'm gonna be confused for a while. Please press 2 for the next available representative.

How to be happy, a Hopscorch guide:

1. Turn on Z-A, listen to the Switch through capture card/OBS.
2. Go to in-game Settings.
3. Slide BGM volume to 0, leave everything else alone.
4. Play Stadium/Colosseum/Battle Revolution OSTs in online Ranked in its stead.
5. Proceed to have 8 hours blink away

Pokemon Z-A, 93 hours in. 100%. All sidequests done, all Pokemon caught. All items obtained. All music looped.

Reached A rank in story and Ranked A online shortly after.
Several working Lv. 100 teams fully EV/IV trained & ready.

Minimal performance issues, if any.
Personal 10/10 for me since BW2.

It's a certain kind of day today, I think. A particular kind of Friday.

Ayyyyyy... Beat Z-A. Left no stone unturned.

I had it on Nintendo Switch 1. I caught no issues while playing save for many an input issue or two from my ancient Joy-Cons.

Personal 10/10 of a game in general, despite everything.
Alright, back to gamedev.

#ScreenshotSaturday ? That's a funny way to spell Z-A, I guess.

I finally completed this trio for the very first monsters I ever came up with, a decade ago. It's the wonderful lady in the center of this screenshot that's the highlight. She goes by the tune of her own steel drum.
