Illustration of a mindflayer turning the corner in a dungeon hallway. On the other side of the corner is a human paladin, an elf thief, a gnome alchemist, a human ranger, and a wolf, preparing to get the jump on the mindflayer. The ranger and wolf are running from a mysterious tentacle coming out of a doorway. Promotional image for the second volume of Rey Estaban’s NES Endings book. The cover features various illustrations by me, including: -Trevor Belmont, Sypha Belnades, Grant Denasty, and Alucard watching Castlevania crumble in sunset. -Bowser buttslamming Mario -Ryu Hyabusa and Irene watching a temple crumble over an ocean scene -Mike from Startropics with bananas in his ears -Mega Man looking up at a projection of Proto Man’s face in the countryside as wilt’s UFO flies away Illustration for an episode of Retronauts featuring the Nintendo DS game "The World Ends With You". The game's protagonists and monsters are in an abstract visual landscape of graffiti, DS screen/style windows, and audio visualizer shaped like a Tokyo cityscape. Sonic the Hedgehog running through three time periods of Palmtree Panic.

The "prologue" art for the remaster is so underhandedly cruel but only if you played it before 🫣

✍️ Scenario: Keiichi Ajiro
Before the story begins in Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD. Coming of Age on that Fateful Hill. Thursday afternoon, 9/27, EC 16, on Norende’s northern meadows. Norende person: Well, I’ll be… Already turning sixteen, Tiz? You’re ripe to go on the boar hunt next year. Tiz: You mean the one in Caldisla? Norende person: Aye. A beastie they’re calling One-Tusk has been on the rampage of late. This year, they came to ask the village to pitch in. Til: Pitch in? I wanna go, too! Norende person: Ha ha ha, you’re still a wee too young, Til. Til: Awww…

Halfway through there's an accident at a paint factory and the bros get mixed up

In Super Mario Galaxy, the stars on the letters of the logo spell "u r mr gay", while for the movie it says "he mr gay". This is because you are watching Mario, not playing him.

Feels bad that no one is doing okay these days. Feels okay that me doing bad isn't a failure on my part and that I am in fact succeeding despite All The Circumstances. Goes back to feels bad that there's just rot and mold on the foundation of reality and there's no contractor to fix it.

My name is Greg and my only reaction to that new D&D trailer is "players used to be very mortal creatures and monsters used to be horrors that you avoided" but that's just me I guess

Heathcliff approaches a large blank canvas holding an easel and paintbrush and wearing a yellow helmet with the word "NUDE" emblazoned across it. An angry Grandma Nutmeg looks down at him and says "No nudes."

"Once we got to the Game Awards (most people flew in from other countries, which was expensive), we showed up, and it felt like we were pushed to the side door ... We found out later that Keighley had a party in another room with all the influencers and industry people. You know where Future Class met that day? At a Starbucks.”

In the precarious position of leaving an unstable workplace for a stable workplace, only to wind up in a position where current events both don't and don't *not* effect my ability to be paid money to make pictures.
