But yeah, I hadn't known about any of that, actually. I thought it was by somebody in a server I was in, but ig somebody found it and posted it elsewhere.

Oh, no way!! This screenshot belongs to you guys??

The original image of Homer Simpson and Osaka (Ayumu Kasuga).

My quick attempt at harnessing the original image's energy in a sketch.

Someone in a Discord server I'm in took this screenshot of Homer and Osaka in Mario 64, and it was so powerful that I just HAD to draw it...

Bunch of Mega Men I drew a few nights ago.

Mans of Mega

My process of creating the "Antonball Deluxe Annie" sprite. I make a full-sized render that's around 4 times the size of the planned sprite, scale it down by 25 percent, and then clean it up and render the shrunken sprite as needed.

The final result, positioned next to the official "Antonball Deluxe Anton" that can be found within the Summitsphere created game, ANTONBLAST.

Last night, I thought about how there's no Annie equivalent (that we know of) of that one sprite of Anton you can find inside ANTONBLAST, so I just said "Screw it, I'm making one right now."

I NNNNAILED IT BTW

gee, thanks for crustifying my process image on the left, bluesky.
literally changed the resolution to multiples of 8 and it still got crusty... oh well.

Captain Wayne (Captain Wayne - Vacation Desperation) looks at the camera saying "Make a wish, compadre." while putting his robotic fingers behind a birthday cake. His robotic hands' tips are light with fire, acting like birthday candles. The birthday cake itself has three-layers, is covered in sprinkles, and has the letters "A", "P" and "Y" atop of it.

Captain Wayne blows the tips of his robotic fingers out after saying "You'll never know when you might need it."

I didn't play the game too much, but I thought it'd be nice to give @apy216.bsky.social something nice, anyway. Happy birthday!

've been meaning to draw @rainingketchup.bsky.social's character Chrysanthemum for a while now, since she's cute and I like her a lot. The right image is for something I have planned later this month.

Happy New Years, ya filthy animals. I love you all... Mwah~❤️

shout out to @natecandles.bsky.social for the silly danton here btw

A screen a Super Metroid. Here we see the game's protagonist, Samus Aran (on the left), pit up against Kraid (on the right), a long-time foe of her's. Within a dark room, Kraid looms over Samus within a field of spikey plantation. So huge that it's impossible to see his entire body within the game's given frame. Huh?... There's something different about this image? I don't see what's wrong here, it's just an in-game screenshot.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Pic unrelated.

If ever I see people send me AI generated shit as reference for what to draw them, I'm just gonna chew them out unprompted.

Just send me like a sketch of what you want... I don't care that you can't draw. Anything over having to look at uninspiring AI garbage with my own two eyes again.

See this megaman bird?
Their name Peepee

This one in particular really cracks me up.

Cover art for Bits & Bops. This is the game I had backed around 2022.

Yep, that's me. You're probably wondering how I got here.

Very proud to have backed Bits & Bops all the way back in 2022! It came out wonderfully, and it's so fun to play too!

The responsiveness, the creative ideas, the challenge. Everything!

Give it a shot if you're a fan of Rhythm Heaven, or just rhythm games in general. It will not disappoint you.

Still looking for work!!

ANTONBLAST character portraits in the style of Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. From top to bottom, and left to right: Satan, Tallbuster, Brawlbuster, Maulbuster, and Smallbuster.

Some ANTONBLAST "Mean Bean Machine" styled portraits I started around a month or so ago.

bowser reference stuff

He's so cute!!

A whiteboard drawing of 4 instances of Mega Man. The top one is looking up to the sky, looking both serious and determined. The bottom one has his iconic Mega Buster in his other hand, almost cradling it, somewhat. Left one is holding his Mega Buster outwards, charging it directly at us. Right one is jumping into the air rather comically, as it's meant to be a tribute to his iconic jump sprite from his older games.

At last, Sunday! Had to draw Mega Man before I stopped doing these consistantly. He's waaaay up there as one of my favourite character designs.

But yes, this might be my last one for a while, but I could post whiteboard or two every now and then.

We'll see.

A whiteboard featuring four whole Bomberman being blown away by a big explosion. Black Bomber seems to taking the blast in stride, being the only Bomber not bothered by it.

It's Saturday night! Been thinking about how chonky Bomberman looked back in the day, so I decided to just put that on the whiteboard today.

A whiteboard drawing of King K. Rool (Donkey Kong) in his "Kaptain K. Rool" attire from Donkey Kong Country 2. He's looking at us with his tongue out, and is holding his blunderbuss in an upward position.

Friday... I noticed it was Donkey Kong Country 2's anniversary today, so I decided to draw up King K. Rool on the whiteboard to commemorate!

Dynamite Annie (ANTONBLAST) drawn on a whiteboard. She's got her mace in her mouth, with teeth like an angry dog's. Despite that, she seems rather proud to have that mace in mouth.

Whew... Thursday! Wanted to draw something fun today so I just settled for this crazy lookin' Annie. Careful, ladies: She bites!!

Bowser (Super Mario), appearing as he did in Super Mario World. He's at a downward angle, crazily looking upwards at us in his Koopa Clown Car as lightning shoots out from the sky!

It's Wednesday! Today's whiteboard drawing is King Bowser! His Super Mario World appearance was always my favourite look for him.

Iori Yagami (King of Fighters) looking like he's posing for a picture, flipping his hair in the process.

Tuseday! Felt like a bit of SNK, today, so here's Iori Yagami!
