Such a nice looking bass! (also +20 points for the monado sticker)

Wait really? Oh man, I'm flattered :'D I followed you for your Xenoblade art but ended up liking everything you did. Small world! Seeing your progress with art and guitar has been awesome too (: thank you for the kind words!

This sounded great honestly! Keep up the good work (: (and now I will fight the tears. Outer Wilds was so damn good)

YOU'RE SO RIGHT

This is so pretty! Amazing work as always!! (Also Zack best all day every day)

Giving BIG yippee energy. Very cute drawings 😄

LOL damn...really makes you think...

First selfie of 2026 (: I turn 97 this year!

This looks absolutely fantastic!! You did such an amazing job (: I pictured so much in my head and the real thing was still better.

Happy New Year, homie! Wishing you the best year full of great memories 😄 let us do great things!

NOT YOU HAUNTING ME WITH THIS BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF ART. That's it. I'm channeling your luck for every risk I take in a video game now (:

ARTISTS, I appreciate you all very much. Don't ever let the words and actions of others deter you from your passion. I love seeing your work and the entire creative process behind it. Keep sharing your worlds with us and rock on (: I shall c o n s u m e

Loving this strat very much LMAO

Don't worry, my old ass will be right there behind you LMAO

aight, grandma

In about a week, I'll have a new demo reel out (first one in 5 years), including a ton of songs I made for actual video games and stuff! It all still feels surreal, and I couldn't do any of this without all of you (: Very excited!

Fire Emblem Engage is some of the most fun I've had with the series! Definitely a nice surprise for sure (:

Also, taking up new hobbies, traveling/exploring new places, recreating a song that I like (so i can learn how it works), etc! Lots that I can't fit in one post!

Artists (of all kinds), what are your personal tips for burnout? Here's some of mine (:

- Take walks
- Try playing another instrument
- Listen to music that you love. (Especially if it's a new soundtrack)
- (Important) Take a break and go do a hobby that you enjoy!
- Friends!

A little bit of Piano and Strings for you today! Making some melody ideas.

Oh dude you gotta tell me about it when you go through more!! It was my game (and soundtrack) of 2024. I love it so much! (One part is VERY Xenoblade 2-coded and I think you'll appreciate it).

That's straight up a little orb 😭 so cute

We're hitting new levels of smol with this one. Compact, even

Spooky times ahead! Streaming Modded Lethal company with friends now! Feel free to come hang (: www.twitch.tv/shadycicada
