Supergreatfriend is depicted as his avatar, a businessman with a red tv for a head with a monochrome green display for a face. He is floating on his back in a pool of black liquid in a screenshot from the FMV game Noctropolis. It is a large stone chamber like a tomb with a pool of black liquid called Liquidark in the center. He is smiling and at peace. The text on the screen is from the game. It reads: POOL. You immerse yourself in the cool liquid. As the darkness surrounds you, you enter a state of drug-like euphoria, and somewhere in the back of your mind you remember that the liquidark is restoring your health and recharging the Noctroglyph and Liquidark grenade.

Last night I dreamt I was watching King of the Hill and Hank had mutated into a giant caterpillar man. No one wanted to buy propane from him, so he became a cage fighter. He was super strong and difficult to injure, so he fought multiple opponents. I thought it was funny, so I made a render of it.
A 3D render of Hank Hill from King of the Hill, a middle aged Caucasian man with brown hair and glasses, who has mutated into a half-man half-caterpillar. His skin is bright green. He wears a white t-shirt over a large belly. Below the t-shirt, his lower body is a giant green caterpillar body with small pointed legs extending from his underbelly in pairs. He stands in a fighting ring surrounded by chain link fence in a stadium. In the background an audience can be seen sitting in the seats. In the ring, Hank raises his arms in a fighting pose. He is surrounded by three opponents, muscular bald men in shorts and boots like boxers or wrestlers, all of them in fighting poses with their fists raised. Light pours down on this scene from above dramatically, the spotlights creating colorful lens flares and artifacts.

This Saturday is @supergreatfriend.bsky.social 's yearly Penance Stream! This year, it will be Condemned 2: Bloodshot, at 7pm Eastern Time, October 11th. Hope to see you there!
www.twitch.tv/supergreatfr...
A 3D render depicts a man with a red tv for a head and a green monochrome face made of dots on the screen crawling on his hands and knees in a desert. He wears dark pants and a light collared shirt with the sleeves rolled up. This is Supergreatfriend. His right arm arcs over his head like a swimmer doing a freestyle stroke. His left arm is bent under him and his left hand holds an XBOX controller. In front of him is a monitor with Ethan Thomas, the main character of Condemned 2: Bloodshot, on it. Ethan looks pale and his dark hair hangs down in his face. He looks like an edgy, angry man. There is a subtitle below him that reads, "Alt-rock playing in background." Behind the monitor on a sand dune stands Superman, specifically his low-poly model from Superman 64. He holds a pitcher of water with ice cubes in it and condensation on the outside of the glass. Behind Superman near his feet are human bones jutting out from the sand. Supergreatfriend has a speech bubble which reads, "Superman... Stop this crazy test! Let me have that water or I'll die!" Superman has a speech bubble responding that reads, "Sorry, Supergreatfriend! You've got to beat the Dark, Edgy Sequel to your favorite game NO MATTER HOW MUCH IT HURTS!" In the bottom right corner is a curled piece of paper sticking out of the sand. It is a poster advertising the Penance Stream. It reads: "Supergreatfriend Presents The Penance Stream 2025. Condemned 2: Bloodshot. All Night Long. (Or at least until credits roll.) Saturday October 11th, 7:00 PM Eastern Time) In the bottom right corner, very small, is my artist's signature. It reads Sane Retry 2025, written in katakana.

In Antarctica, many penguins stand on grey rock, out of focus in the background. In front of them, a completely black penguin with large jet black human ears in place of its wings stands with enormous eyes bulging out of their sockets. It is my interpretation of the creature depicted by the so-called "bat" beads.

this photo of Sam Altman looks like Plastic Man denying the allegations. "no, I left the Justice League of my own volition. I did not shapeshift into a toilet in the women's restroom."
Sam Altman stands in the center of the frame with reporters' microphones pointed toward him. He looks unhappy. He wears very large sunglasses with white frames, making him look like DC Comics superhero Plastic Man.

my solemn duty
A hand-drawn illustration of Ryo Hazuki from the Dreamcast game Shenmue asleep on the thin, flimsy bed from Stardew Valley, his left arm above the covers lying on his side. He has a small bandage on his left cheekbone and black spiky hair. He is wearing a white t-shirt and has a silver watch on his left wrist. He is surrounded by darkness in the form of thick black brush strokes and cracked, abstract patterns of color. His face looks upset like he is angry. A cartoon thought bubble rises above his head to show what he is dreaming about: Lan Di, the villain of Shenmue, the man who killed Ryo's father. Lan Di stands with glowing red eyes and splatters of blood on his silk Chinese robes. Blood splatters also float in the air around Lan Di inside the thought bubble.

The image shows two CODEC screens from Metal Gear Solid, one above the other, with Otacon's face on the left and Solid Snake's face on the right. In the top screen, Snake is saying, "Refractory period? Sounds like a major weak point..." and in the bottom screen, Otacon's face is zoomed in, as if he is shouting at the camera, and he is saying, "It's not a weak point! I like to think of it as a character flaw. People just aren't complete without some type of character flaw, don't you think?" For those unfamiliar with Metal Gear Solid, the line is from the game when Otacon explains the weak point of the bipedal tank Metal Gear Rex and why he designed it with a "character flaw."

I had a weird dream last night that there was this new food: rectangular pieces of raw pork with a blueberry in them, boiled like eggs. There was some debate if the inside reached a high enough temperature to fully cook the pork. #dream #blender #blender3d #krita #art #digitalart
On an abstract background is a 3d render of a pink cube of raw pork with a slit cut in it and above it is a blueberry. To the right is a 3d render of a pot of boiling water filled with the pork cubes. Around these images is messy, hand-written text that reads, "I had a dream last night there was this new food: rectangular cubes of pork with a blueberry inserted into them" "then there were boiled like eggs" "Just like hard boiled eggs, but with more flavor!" said people in my dream. "I was concerned the pork wouldn't be fully cooked in the middle..."

Today someone requested a high res version of my JC Denton Swimming Specialist thumbnail, so here it is!

If you haven't seen the video, it's sentence mixing skit from my larger video essay:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=hj91...
JC Denton from the PC game Deus Ex, a man with black hair, sunglasses, and a blue trench coat, is transforming into a dolphin wearing the same sunglasses, in the style of an Animorphs book cover. JC stands at the far right side of the picture, and three copies of him, each more distorted and dolphin-like, are placed to the left, with the final picture being a dolphin leaping from the ocean in a white spray of water. The Deus Ex logo is in the bottom left corner and there is text that reads, "Deus Ex Swimming Specialist" which is the color of the ocean at sunset, which contrasts with the rest of the picture, which shows the ocean at mid-day.

I made a picture of a barbarian wielding double Zweihänders versus a giant snake. It's a 3D render I made in Blender drawn on top of to look like a painting. Inspired by Frank Frazetta, of course, Disco Elysium, and also the PS1 game Echo Night, which featured a bar filled with similar paintings.
A barbarian with blonde hair, wearing a brown leather loin cloth fastened with a wide belt and bandolier, and tall brown leather boots stands in the center of the picture holding a Zweihänder, which is a large broadsword meant for two hands, in each hand. Double Zweihänders. Behind him is a giant snake, its body nearly a meter thick, with a diamond pattern on its scales. The snake has raised its head into the air above the barbarian. It is looking down at him. One of the barbarian's eyes is visible, the other is covered by his hair hanging down. The eye looks to one side, as if he does not know where the snake is. The background is mostly black and grey brushstrokes and the light comes from the top right of the frame. They could be in a cave with a hole in the ceiling, letting in sunlight. Or they could be in a dark forest at night. Round white particles float in the air. They could be dust, or perhaps falling snow. The entire scene is a 3D render that has been painted over to resemble a real painting. Since I had to go in and add a ton of brushstrokes by hand using my mouse, it technically is a real painting, just a digital one.

QRP with your header art

instead of a dedicated banner, I just used the most recent piece of art I had made, which was my Big the Cat in Silent Hill 2 render that I made when the Silent Hill 2 Remake came out.
Big the Cat from the Dreamcast game Sonic Adventure, who is large purple humanoid cat wearing sandals, a brown leather belt, and yellow gloves, stands on a foggy American city street holding his fishing pole in his left hand and a piece of paper in his right hand. To his right, the contents of the letter are superimposed over a picture of Froggy, who is a green polygonal frog, both the letter and froggy fading into the surrounding fog. The letter reads: "In my restless dreams, I see that town. Silent Hill. You promised me you'd take me there again someday. But you never did. Well, I'm alone there now. In our special place. Waiting for you."

Post your most popular art from Twitter

I had a dream I ordered a PS5 but this came instead: The PS4 Pro Cantaloupe Edition. Games are digitized onto cantaloupe cubes stored in a refrigerator at Gamestop, $60 a scoop. You can only have one game "installed" (digesting) at a time. Dreamcast graphics.
The PS4 Pro Cantaloupe Edition. A black Playstation 4 game console is presented on a blue background, but the lettering on its side reads, "PS4 Cantaloupe." A small square hatch is open on top of the console and inside are cantaloupe cubes. A pair of hands holds cantaloupe cubes in the top right portion of the picture as if feeding the Playstation. Next to the console is a Dual Shock 2 controller, which is two generations behind what it should be. There is text around the picture: "The console consumes cantaloupe. You must feed it." "Games are digitized onto proprietary cantaloupe cubes." "Sixty dollars per scoop." "Controller looks like Dual Shock 2." A small screenshot of Spider-Man for the Dreamcast is in the bottom left with a caption: "Marvel's Spider-Man by Insomniac Games running on Cantaloupe. (Graphics roughly Dreamcast quality)"

I decided to re-do this render with the bright pink sand from the original Watchmen comic and I think it looks so much better! Stylized > Realistic
#sonic #bigthecat #froggy #sonicthehedgehog #sega #dreamcast #watchmen #alanmoore #davegibbons #drmanhattan #mars #blender #blender3D
A 3D render of Big the Cat from the Dreamcast game Sonic Adventure sitting on a rock on Mars. Next to him is his friend Froggy, a large green frog, protected by a transparent force field that looks like thin glass or a soap bubble. Big the Cat, who is a large humanoid cat with purple fur wearing a brown leather belt, yellow gloves, and sandals, is very slightly emitting blue light from his body which shines on the rock he is sitting on and the bright pink sand around him. Big the Cat stares vacantly ahead with his perfectly round yellow eyes. This is his usual expression. Around him, some rocks can be seen jutting from the sand. The sky behind them is totally black with tiny white spots where stars are visible. Above and to the right of Big the Cat is a comic book voice panel where his inner thoughts are being spoken. It is taken from Alan Moore's comic Watchmen, from a similar scene in which the character Dr. Manhattan leaves Earth to get away from people. The panel reads: "I am tired of Earth. These people. I am tired of being caught in the tangle of their lives." This image of Big the Cat is an obvious reference to the scene from Watchmen and would be recognized by people who know the comic. Big the Cat, with the power of a god, has grown tired of us and has left for Mars. But he would never leave behind his friend Froggy, so Froggy is protected from the lack of oxygen by a bubble around him created by Big. This was made in the program Blender 3D using models of the characters ripped from Sega games. I found the models on models-resource.com.

All of this is rendered in 3D by the program Blender rather than illustrated like the comic book it is based on.

Drake, from the game Drake of the 99 Dragons, poses in Sonic the Hedgehog's famous pose from the cover of Sonic Adventure. The font and tropical themed background also match the cover of Sonic Adventure. I like rendering characters in the Sonic Adventure pose. It's funny.

I made this earlier this month for Supergreatfriend's yearly ritual of playing a notoriously bad game in a single sitting, aka The Penance Stream, which he does for his anniversary. This year it was Drake of the 99 Dragons. #supergreatfriend #sgf #drakeofthe99dragons #blender #bubsy #saw #jigsaw
Supergreatfriend, who makes LPs on Twitch and Youtube, is depicted here as his avatar, a man with a red tv for a head with green dots for a face. He is sticking both arms into a toilet full of used syringes, some of which have pierced his skin, to grasp an Xbox controller which he uses to play Drake of the 99 Dragons. The expression on this tv screen face is one of anger and pain. Behind him is Drake, the main character of Drake of the 99 Dragons, posing with two handguns. He has a comic book speech bubble which reads, "Hurry, Supergreatfriend! If you don't beat this game, we'll never escape!" They are in a dirty room with a decayed ceiling and stained tile walls, lit with two fluorescent lights. This setting is meant to be recognizable as a Jigsaw-type scenario from the Saw movies and video games. The toilet full of syringes is a thing from the Saw games. The player must stick their arm in it to find a key. Above the two characters is an old crt tv held in place by a nest of barbed wire. On the screen is Bubsy the Cat from Bubsy 3D (that's where I got his model), taking the place of Billy the Puppet from the Saw films. This is because last year's Penance Stream was Bubsy 3D. The screen is tinted green like in the movies. On ceiling, barely visible there is text reading Penance Stream 2024, in honor of the occasion.

today someone was talking about Supermassive Games and got them mixed up with Supergiant Games, which is understandable since their names are both Super "Big" and since I had the Big the Cat model ready to go anyway...
Big the Cat from the Dreamcast game Sonic Adventure hovers in the air with Superman's symbol on his chest and a red cape above the version of Metropolis from Superman 64. A green ring, which the player is meant to fly through, is visible in the background. In the art deco font used in Superman 64, text reads: "Then there's no time to waste!" which is what Superman says at the beginning of every mission in that game. I often make art, not because it's some carefully considered concept, but because a simple idea presents itself and I think, "Oh, I could make that!" and I try to do so as quickly as possible. This one took me less than an hour and it was great practice. It's very much like an illustrator's sketch rather than something I thought about for a long time. Though that would be funny. Imagine if I had the extremely banal image: "Big the Cat...but he's in Superman 64!" and it haunted me for years and after countless hours of practice in Blender, I was like, "Haha! Finally my masterpiece! After all this time, my long sought after goal of rendering Big the Cat in a Superman cape flying has finally come to fruition! Sonic Adventure came out in 1998! It's been 26 long years but it finally paid off!" What do you think? Was it worth all that time? Of course it was. Just look at him.

"I was weak. That's why I needed you... needed someone to punish me for my sins..."
I have @michelledraws.bsky.social to thank for the inspiration. She was joking about Silent Hill 2 mods: "Shrekhead. A man with an entire Shrek for a head." And I knew I had to make it.
#sh2 #silenthill2 #shrek
James Sunderland kneels on the floor, looking down at his hands in grief. To his left and right stand Shrekheads, which look exactly like Pyramidhead from Silent Hill 2 except that they each have a fully nude Shrek where their head would be. The Shrek bodies tilt downward, matching the slope of the original Pyramidhead helmet. The Shrekhead on the left holds a spear upright with the base of it resting on the ground. The Shrekhead on the right holds his spear high with the tip pointing downward at James. The floor has the pattern of a Persian carpet and the walls are all broken concrete with a grid of exposed rebar. The scene is illuminated by a dim red light, tinting the entire picture crimson. The nude Shreks atop the Shrekheads' shoulders reach their hands toward James, the expressions on their faces smiling at him like giant green babies. (They represent James' unresolved sexual feelings for Shrek.) Also as a finishing touch, I put a grunge layer over everything so the picture looks scratched and dirty.

Silent Hill 1 Prologue except the body Harry Mason finds is the concept art of an unused version of Steve Burnside from Resident Evil Code: Veronica, a.k.a. STEAVE.
#silenthill #residentevil #codeveronica #harrymason #steveburnside #steave
Through a chain link fence, we see Harry Mason in the Silent Hill 1 prologue. He is surrounded on all sides by rusty metal fences and barbed wire in a narrow alley. The ground is wet with rain and blood. The scene is very dark, illuminated only by the flame of Harry's lighter, which he holds in his right hand. He is examining a figure who appears to be crucified and strung up on countless strands of barb wire. Strips of what might be fabric or possible skin dangle from the barbed wire. The figure is covered in blood. It is the concept art version of Steve Burnside, from Resident Evil Code: Veronica. There is text to the left of Harry in the original Silent Hill 1 font. Harry is saying, "What is this? What's going on here!?" Harry Mason inspects the bloody, crucified body of Steve Burnside (concept art version) hanging from many strands of barbed wire. The ground is slick with puddles of blood and in the foreground, skeletal remains and half-eaten corpses are barely visible in the dark. The only light comes from Harry's lighter, the flame casts an orange glow over the bloody body in front of him and the rusty chain link fence all around them. (Fun fact: the chain link fence and barbed wire are all procedurally generated using Geometry Nodes in Blender!) Harry's subtitle text hangs in the air to his left. He says, "What? What's this doing here?" This is the concept art for Steve Burnside from Resident Evil Code: Veronica. An unused design. He is blonde with a red bandana. He has a bandaid on his left cheek. He wears no shirt, but does have a brown leather bandolier slung diagonally across his chest. It has no bullets on it, but appears to hold two small drill bits. He wears mustard yellow cargo pants and a white belt with a white buckle. He wears a fingerless brown leather glove on his left hand. His right wrist has a watch or possibly a bracelet on it with a very thin band, which is also white. His yellow pants are tucked into brown leather boots with tall white treads underneath. He looks very different from his appearance in Code: Veronica. In the top right corner of the picture, his name is spelled incorrectly with an "a" in it: S T E A V E. So that's what I call him: Steave.
