Yeah, this floored me too as a 12 year old. I had my first taste of it in the first Castlevania when I saw later how the view of the castle keep right before the mummies was basically the whole last stage in a silhouette. They continued in other games. Always loved that!
The yan on the wall of Havoc Vulture's Solution Nine bachelor pad looks like it's breathing ice and it's kinda awesome LOL
Oh that's cool, folks that live around here always like to see when the salmiak goes over with the US crew. I liked it right away, one friend of mine did, but many others it bounced off of.
The liquor is pretty good too, though its best IMO when melting the actual candy in koskenkorva/vodka
(you ought to see when I give people salmiak, or the salty liquorice)
Funny thing as someone who lives in Northern Europe, Malort doesn't even phase me, it's a type of bäsk, or wormwood liquor(in Swedish, the word 'malört' literally means wormwood). I've had enough absinthe that malört just tickles
but I notice in the US, bitter anise stuff does not go well LOL
Awwww man :( RIP! He was the 2nd longest member of Motorhead, right behind Lemmy himself.

The inspiration for making the Hell Knights a trio of weapons and skull covered long-haired metal dudes may have come from this picture...
And here are the boys all together! #grimdark #minipainting
Whew, Hell Knight 3 is done! And the black metal tribute Trench Crusade trio is finished. I am currently building a diorama for them, but these are their bases. I went a little extra on 3's base, whoops. #grimdark #trenchcrusade #minipainting
Yoke Fiend 2 is currently around 65%?
And now I SO need to order that Goetic Warlock and paint one, lol. I can definitely come up with something for him/a base
++ A GIFT OF FLESH ++
A brand new lore video about the fiendish Goetic Warlock is now available on our Youtube channel! You can watch it here: youtu.be/cFLaglovsV0
Several QoL updates are on the way!
🏠 Increased furnishing placement limits
🛠️ New interior fixture designs
👕 Armoire storage options
🖌️ Consolidated dyes
I think in the end I am going to like the inventory more since the only real moneymakers were gunmetal and white/black anymore
This is how I find out I'm losing yet another moneymaker while simultaneously gaining a shit load of inventory space
I am torn like that Spongebob reading the book
Flight attendants had to move my giant yoshi plush to an empty seat in the back because it was taking too much room in the ceiling compartment, look a what they did to him 😭😭
kids these days need to use real talking toys. experiencing a malfunctioning Teddy Ruxpin who's tape fucked up sounding like a demon toy
I saw the thing on the AI powered toy and like
If your kid wants a talking toy that new Talking Flower from Mario is pretty adorable. Minion wanted one. Nintendo doesn't use AI, it's an old-fashioned overpriced desk buddy that repeats the same 20 canned sentences like the gods intended
Our little guy does love his games(though he hates 'trendy stuff' and cringes at it, and cringes at AI, the only talking thing he wanted recently was the Mario Talking Flower which is adorbs), but we do the same; always dinner together, go somewhere every week, etc. Just...parent stuff?
Yeah, like-I support the child-free lifestyle? Just go for it!
I grew up a latchkey xennial. So I had a lot of NES, TV etc. But me and the fam would always at least have dinner together. As I got to my teens, my shift-work mom and I would still go once a week to the local diner or Pizza Hut
I wouldn't say I'm massively into phones or anything but I sketched this out of frustration bc why are there no modern phones with these features, it would be so perfect and I'm mad the only ones are old and slow
also: If Trench Crusade ever comes out with a Court subfaction that deals with Northern ice demons it will be made for me specifically and I will have so much fun with effects on those MFs
Working more on the 2nd Yoke Fiend's charred/scorched flesh recipe as well as the flayed skin clothing. grisly fella. still def WIP adding/messing with all the rust and stuff and still detailing lots. Labeling it graphic.
Should have the 3rd Hell Knight based up tomorrow for pics!
also "extreme metal drummer" isn't exactly on the same level of career prospect as "synthetic biologist", but I think it falls under "media that influences people"
The DVD itself was kinda hard to find back then since black metal was still pretty small in the US. We had the Florida and NY death metal scenes, and some stuff like Mercyful Fate/Venom, but often we had to either visit tiny shops, trade or go online, I'd say I saw more bands break out around 2003+
Back in the early 2000s, I knew quite a few metal fans a few years younger than me who wanted to pick up drums after downloading this drum soundcheck from a Satyricon DVD. It was legendary in the Limewire circles(this is cleaned up, the OG download 2000s quality)
youtu.be/Vr2TTjmH87c?...
wait. wait. everyone hold on. i've solved it
Commission completed
This was a very fun piece to work on, it came out incredible
The pose (& the whole vibe) is a reference to a metal album cover
Thank you @pepsiispepper.bsky.social for commissioning me, it was very fun making this artwork
#artwork #digitalart #digitalsketch #guiltygear #zappa
if you're gonna make me watch this ad MATCH THE FUCKING COLORS. BLUE LINES. GREEN LINES. ITS TETRIS. ITS KINDERGARTEN SHIT
no I'm not playing your stupid AI generated game just match it so my brain can relax
dumb confession time:
nothing will turn me into that video of the girl crying at the guy putting the blocks through the same hole faster than watching a game ad where they keep failing at easy shit
the fucking king has like five minutes to escape the snake and you can't match colors? MATCH THEM
I was talking to friends about this, not only am I nostalgic for a lot of these designs but some of these are core parts of the FGC. The Buff Nerf Patch Adapt shirt is part of this scene's DNA. Seeing this stuff come back feels Important
