Three pill bug or roly-poly enamel pins in silver metal with black enamel lined up on a tan woven mat. The left one is at rest in a natural pose, the middle one is all curled up into a ball, and the right is partway rolled up. Watermark below them has a crowned moth logo and "shop.mothmonar.ch" Multiple black resealable pouches labeled with a picture of a cartoon moth character, the name "Moth Monarch", and the words "Blind Bag". They're resting on a patterned purple cloth. One of the bags is slightly open with a sticker peeking out. Sticker of a cute brown insect sitting inside a red and yellow box of french fries, their hands resting on the box edge in front of them. The box says "Potato Bug" on the front with the U made into a smile with little eyes. The sticker has transparent edges and is sitting on a greenish background. A number of stickers like it are arranged in an arc over it as framing, though they are largely cropped out. Bottom right corner has a crowned moth logo and "shop.mothmonar.ch" Photo of an enamel pin of a celestial-themed bumblebee. The bee is facing right in a rounded pose with wings sticking out above it. It has a large round eye and sparkles on the body with constellation-like patterns as the wing veins. The antennae and some of the legs are mostly depicted by gold metal. The pin is resting on a blue cloth surface with some round gold accents. Mark at the bottom of the image reads "shop.mothmonar.ch"

A lil art dump, and an impulse buy.

Starting to feel like I’m getting back into the swing of things. Just in time for some RPGMaker shenanigans to manifest
A picture of a pencil themed knight, taking on the AI slop serpent. The lance is a giant pencil, and the shield, a big pink eraser. A collection of random doodles, using pencil and a fountain pen. There is a girl in a kimono, a sphere with shading, and a landscape from last time A finished ink drawing of Nanashi Mumei. My anatomy is not the greatest, especially hands, but I’m getting there.

One day, I created an entire shark civilization full of mystery and fantasy, but due to the lack of time and pressures of modern society, for now, I had to keep them inside my dreams ~ 🦈✨

This civilization was called the Zenkayas, here is a collection of arts from this old sharkfolk idea.

Haven’t been doing much of anything outside of doomn’ and playing games with my friends.

However, I finally cracked open the jar of ink, and my unboxed a dip pen!

These are the results so far. A lot harder to manage than a ballpoint, but it’s fun!

illustration of a 6-winged canada goose with a writhing centre mass made up of 4 heads, its necks all slithering and wrapped around each other. also the necks are studded with WAY too many eyes for a goose. even if they DO have gloriously long lashes, this shit's wack man. anyway. be not afraid or whatever, it has a message for you probably.

Aphoteans, The Fathomless Civilization

These are some of the artworks I made to try to illustrate how little my sharkfolk who inhabit the surface of the sea know about the sharkfolk who live hidden in the euphotic zone. 🦈✨

#sharks #sharkfolk
The Aphotean Artifact "The sharkfolk have advanced greatly in technology over the ages, but it is not known how far the denizens of the deep have advanced, it is believed that they are stagnating, but artifacts of unknown function such as this one may tell us otherwise." - An Aphotean artifact found stranded on a beach after a hurricane in the open sea. It is an intricate sculpture, possibly a ceremonial idol of the eccentric Aphoteans of the six gill slits (Bluntnose sixgill shark - Hexanchus griseus). The carved figure appears to be embracing an unusual-looking blue gemstone, which emits a soft, almost imperceptible hiss. But those who come close feel something else: a subtle vibration interfering with the ampullae of Lorenzini. Both the gem and the material of the sculpture are unknown. The Stranded Ruins "It was only when the ancient monolithic works of the denizens of the deep stranded on the beaches of the sea's surface, after being pushed by tectonic forces, that the sharkfolk were able to catch a glimpse of them and just begin to decipher them." - In an unspoiled tropical paradise, a hammerhead shark and a mako shark are on an archaeological expedition to a large Aphotean ruin that has been washed ashore after successive earthquakes over the ages. The hammerhead shark is shining its flashlight on a large mural on the walls of the ruin. The ruin appears to be a large tunnel decorated with murals depicting two Aphoteans (descendants of the Goblin Sharks - Mitsukurina owstoni) who appear to be summoning a mystical essence through an underwater chimney and condensing it into a spherical gem; the purpose of the ritual is unknown. Although there are representations of astronomical objects throughout the ruin, it is believed that these people never saw the celestial dome, which may mean that these symbols may represent something else. The Tiny Citadel "It is known that many clans of the sharkfolk are small in stature, but only in the depths do the little ones dwell, for the ruins pushed to the surface reveal just how tiny their citadels are, delicate structures carved from the darkness." - In a submerged volcanic cave, a blue shark explorer and photographer takes a picture of the ruins of a little Aphotean citadel. The citadel was probably pushed by tectonic forces into the euphotic zone caused by an ancient eruption, which forced its inhabitants to abandon it. Despite this, the marine fauna thrives in its surroundings. The structures carved into the submerged rock have peculiar cylindrical shapes, adorned with intricate reliefs and circular holes that appear to have served as doors and windows. Given the scale of the buildings, archaeologists suspect that they belonged to the enigmatic dwarf Aphoteans (descendants of the lantern sharks - Etmopteridae).

This what I ended up making for the @pigsquad.com Build Your Own Game Jam!

I was over confident at how quickly I could adapt into a new engine, but at least I have something interactive!

I’ve got something I can almost build off! Just need add interactions when the rider bonks a tree, and wham! Plenty of behaviors I’m not going to fix for a jam game, but I got this far! #gamedev #godot

What a post?! Been doing my best to start learning Godot, along with not being consumed by doom scrolling.

Currently making a some kind of snowboarding game! Definitely going to end up more of an arcade feel with what knowledge I have! #gamedev #godot
