logo design + color tests for "Beat Tactics." No colors, blue only, rainbow colors, and yellow with a blue accent. The B is a lower case b and in the shape of a reverse music note.

Reference sheet for Lyra, the player character for "Beat Tactics." She has short blue hair, and wears a turtle neck under a sleeveless vest. Her skirt has music notes on it, and her outfit is completed with leggings and brown shoes. There are two monochrome sketches of her standing, and of her playing her electric guitar enthusiastically. The text on the sheet reads: "Lyra is a high school freshman with aspirations to play music in a band. With her hand-me-down electric guitar, she hopes to inspire and convince enough students to make a music club with her before the upcoming school festival."

A game stage UI mockup of "Beat Tactics." The middle of the UI holds the puzzle board, with a variety of colored shapes. In the upper left corner, the "cursor" is hovered over a pink heart, with the words "GROOVY" and "MISS" next to them to display what feedback looks like for matching the beat. The top of the UI has a progress bar, and is currently leaning towards the player, meaning that the player is nowhere near successful in the stage. The player character, Lyra, is on the left, with her guitar ready to play. The opposing character is on the right, a girl with long pink hair and a beige hat, with crossed arms as if waiting to hear Lyra's convincing performance.

Concept art for "Beat Tactics." The most notable art is the bottom left, Lyra holds out her guitar pick and exclaims, "I'll convince you!! With nothing but Music!!"

throwback thursday because ive been organizing files... back in undergrad, one of my visdev projects was a combination match-3/rhythm game called Beat Tactics. you play as Lyra, a girl who wants to make a music club and convince potential members to join you with cool beats!

I liked Iron Lung! There were a few points where the sound mixing (? Not sure if that's what to call it) could have been better, namely the very beginning and end, but I honestly enjoyed it. There was a part in the movie that really itched my brain bc it was like watching myself play Etrian Odyssey

someone in a nail polish subreddit created a shade that matches the one in this photo and is selling it on etsy so she can afford to buy her boyfriend a bulletproof vest to wear while doing ICE watch at home depot. we live in hell but we are going to fucking win.

This administration is cooked. Literally no one is scared of them.

Crowd is massive, now overflowing Congress Plaza and taking up a block-long stretch of Michigan Avenue.

Reminder: this event was only announced yesterday.

Trying out character profiles for a comic/series I've been slowly working on. I ended up wanting a different approach.

Here's Justin!

Sorry Everybody was a website created after the 2004 United States presidential election, which invited U.S. citizens to apologize to the world in advance for the actions of George W. Bush in the next four years. It featured an image gallery of Americans holding apology notes.

A cartoon from the mid-1960s. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. talks with a reporter, surrounded by the aftermath and detritus of a riot saying "I plan to have another non-violent march tomorrow."

This is what they said about him then. This is what they say about us now. This is who they always have been.

Take care and rest up afterwards 💖

An image of a volleyball against a blue background. The text says: In my home state of Massachusetts, ICE is hunting a man who has an expired visa. They find the man’s car, but the driver is just the man’s son, a teen heading to volleyball practice. ICE arrests the teen.

A conversation between two people in speech bubbles: “Do you know why you’re under arrest?” “No.” “Because you’re illegal. You’re an immigrant.” “Ma’am, I was seven years old.” Then, text at the bottom says: The teen is put into a concrete cell with 35 men.

The community rallies behind him. There's an image of yard signs with the smiling face of the teen that say Free Marcelo. Some quotes from locals: “He’s one of our brothers. Without him, it just kind of feels like a dark, empty room.” -volleyball team captain. “This administration isn’t keeping us safe by putting 18-year-old honors students in prison.” -MA Rep. Moulton

In the cell, the teen helps translate for those who don’t speak English. Many are ill. After 6 days, he’s released. There's an image of a hand and arm, with a crinkly foil bracelet tied around the wrist. Wearing a bracelet that another detainee made him from one of the thin mylar blankets they were given, he says: “ I don’t want to cry. But I want to say...nobody should be in here.”

Something a little different. Some cartoonists put out a call for comics about local ICE experiences. This one happened a few months ago so it's a little older than current events, but it's a story that I never stopped thinking about. #ICEoutcomics

I think I would liken Sir Gawain and the Green Knight to those really upbeat, catchy songs that actually have the most depressing lyrics you've ever heard in your life. It feels like you're having a great time and then it's like have you considered you might be nothing?

My ocs Xiulan (left) and Beck (right), with kieshells's oc Honey (middle) caught by a spotlight in the middle of an amateur heist.

A redraw of the single cover "Lights Out" by Taska Black.

My two ocs, Allegory and Parable, are dressed in the costumes from the music video "Mesmerizer" by 32ki. Allegory on the left has blue hair like Miku, and she has an elated expression. Parable on the right has his signature white hair, and he looks unamused. Allegory is hugging Parable from behind.

A stained glass-style artwork of my oc Paisley, looking up towards the moon as poppies surround her, and a clock with a pendulum swings right above her.

happy #portfolioday ! I'm Mikki, and I'm a digital character/story artist and art history student! I'm a purely original artist, and I hope to show more of the world of my lil guys.

My current primary project is Black Judgement with my bestie @kieshells.bsky.social, a story about breaking cycles.
