Mega Man standing heroically on a platform

Decided to carry on with the “Famous Game Characters” thing after I enjoyed doodling Mario so much… So here’s Mega Man! (I’m given to understand that there’s a new game out soon).

Is this going to become a thing? Who should I do next?

Mario sits heroically atop a warp pipe.

I… Erm… meant to post this yesterday for #mar10 day… oops.

Well… it’s here now.

Should I do other game characters? Is there another one you want to see me tackle?

How our entire political class is so hopelessly inept at anything resembling competence and forward thinking, is something that will continually baffle me.

We can't... It's impossible. Every new human is totally unique and wired completely different to the ones that came before. Even the instruction manuals are contradictory.

What the hell are you doing?! Please... I am just one small voice on a social media site... But I beg you not to do this.
There are better ways to spend that money... Understand that this technology is not the wonder tool you have been convinced it is.

You can have that one... My only price is that I get to work on the art ;)

I'd love to see a game that looked like that, where you play as a Gerry Anderson style puppet.

It's amazing how overlooked the other disciplines actually are. Even when the credits are front and center, it's amazing how invisible those jobs can be sometimes.
It shouldn't be that way, line art can be totally elevated by the right colourist and letterer.

Comic style illustration of Santa leaping across a rooftop while lightning strikes behind him. Similar to the cover of The Dark Knight Returns.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Full colour album cover for "Professor Elemental: New Years Eve at the Lizard Lounge" 
Picture depicts Professor Elemental in a golden tuxedo, drinking champagne and sat on a great big throne. Lineart version of the album cover

Hullo everyone.
Professor Elemental is not on Bluesky... However, I did just design the album cover for his latest release so it falls on me to give it a bit of a kick over here.

You can find the album here (It's a lot of fun) : professorelemental.bandcamp.com/album/new-ye...

You honestly don't need it, you never did and contrary to what anyone else tells you, it is not making you any more productive.

AI should not be used for any part of the creative process. This includes Ideation.
To use AI at that stage is killing a really important part of your creative cognition.
It is NOT the same as looking at picture reference... you're basically looking at a copy of a copy made out of copies.

Also... If you are using it for reference... You are killing a really important part of your creative cognition. Your reference is not a real thing, it's a copy built on copies of copies.

I would absolutely watch... Or make myself actually to be honest... It would make a great comic book.
