3D is bloody hard. At least now I can wear my own skin in VR.

(I don't actually know if my VR even works anymore).

Got my dog back from a scary vet visit. The good news is she's generally in very good health! But she's torn ligaments in both hind legs so now I get to be scared about that.

From 2013, "Read Me a Story About Dragons." I recall putting so much work and detail into this that Photoshop was lagging out on me. My skill and hardware was pushed to the limit at the time. Lessons were learned.

From 2013, "Halloween vs Me-Mow". Real old, but I used to see this one pop up randomly around the internet. With attribution too, which is always nice to see!

From 2023, a birthday gift for a friend featuring his Warrior of Light.

When Undertale came out, I was at a point where the best I could do was pretend to enjoy things so I don't bring other people down. It cut through that cynicism with laughs, empathy, and intrigue. It was the support I needed to get my hope back.

Even if retroactive fees were never a threat, this right here is why I need to move on from Unity.

Over a billion dollars in acquisitions but basic features have support like they're demo disks from 2001.

Wowee! I got really popular on the other site during my absence!

"Monkey Suit", from 2018! Fanart of Coconuts from Sonic, in comic attire and a cartoon variant. For how often Sonic gets fanart, I'm not sure I've ever seen Coconuts get attention, despite being there from the start.

I've been looking to old anime for reference lately. Here's something obscure yet very specific!

I expect no one to know who this is.

From 2017, "Tidal Trickster!" I don't like MOBAs and I don't play League, but I did briefly enjoy it with friends. Fizz is the best boy.

Yo! Here's a fun one. This WIP from Tumblr 2014 is more popular than everything else I've done combined. I kept going, but scrapped the full animation because I didn't know why THIS resonated with people. I decided the full thing would never live up to it.

From 2016, "Pokonsen"! I originally drafted a big scene with a dozen or so Scraggys playing around, but got overwhelmed with the workload. Instead of throwing the idea away, I downscaled into something I could actually finish.

From 2018, "Starlit Gentleman"! Fanart for the film 'Nocturna', but the character's name is held back for a reveal so I'll consider it a spoiler. Good movie, do recommend.

From 2023, impromptu gift art for @lumozze.bsky.social. My favourite of the portraits I was doing at the time, including the one I made for myself.

From 2020, Invader Zim fanart! Probably the most formative cartoon of my childhood. Dark and scary but filled with colourful characters.

From 2018, "Scaring Day!" featuring a slightly Pop-ified Ickis.

I guess 2018 was a good year for me; there's actually plenty that I still like.

From 2021, commission for the illustrious @josephvoncarstein.bsky.social of his D&D character, Jerk!

Old art from 2018, "Black Market Murch"

I also have a colour version that could be fun to swap to for explicitly modern settings, but the old greyscale toon look is the default.

I present the new character ref for my bunny boy, Kachi!

He's a wannabe-performer from the quiet countryside - a big dreamer from a small world.

I got rusty with art and humans are a big weakness for me, so I committed to 60 nights of doing some sketching from anime to get better.

I got pretty slack towards the end and didn't end up where I hoped, but I still improved. Here's some cherry-picked examples!

2020: Another text RPG, this time darker and more structured. You play as a mouse who escapes slavery and seeks sanctuary as a worker at a gang-run bathhouse. Your choices in each chapter determine who you can trust in the next.

Dropped because of real life problems, then ensuing writer's block.
January 31, 2024 at 8:12 AM
2021: A life/dating sim in a country town with a kemono cast. Featured character customization, day/night cycles and procedural tasks based on the time.

Dropped because the project got way too bloated for me to manage, and the placeholders weren't inspiring confidence in any reasonable turnaround.
January 28, 2024 at 5:23 AM
2022: A simple horror game inspired by SCP-087-B where a snowstorm has driven you into a mysterious structure with a deep, dark stairwell. Features randomized encounters and a focus on awareness and risk management.

Dropped when SCP-087-B coincidently launched a remake and I lost motivation.
