It's Bandcamp Friday! 💥

Listen, support on there helps me loads any day of the year, but it counts for a bit more on these days - THANK YOU 💖

Here's a bit about who I am and what I do!

A fake Japanese style advertisement for fictional star shaped watermelons. The brand name at the top is "PhiFruits" followed by a circular flower. The Japaneses text reads "Star Watermelon" or hoshi suika" and "Supreme Bliss of Heaven" or "tengoku no shifuku". Four star watermelons are presented under the Japanese text one showing a quarter cutout to show the pink and seeded inside of the melon. The price is 7,900 Japenese Yen. Under that is an AKI brand marker a parody of the OK Market Japanese superstore. The background is a slightly overcast sky with an ever stretching teal blue ocean reaching far into the skyline. The character presented is holding a slice of watermelon up in front of her smiling. She is wearing a blue swimsuit, has dark chin length hair with two hair clips in her bangs, has short elf ears, purple eyes, and a red triangle facing down on her forehead.

Summer is not over yet. Enjoy it, with Star Melon!
Cheaper than the cube shaped competitors melons!

Research lab area w.i.p.
I'm pretty happy with the feel of this one :)

The noises 4 of them make is extremely satisfying. I have a PC for ripping CDs, DVDs, and BDs and its always fun turning it on and hearing each one do its own little test!

A front facing headshot of my original character Kibble, a trans man in his late 20s just starting hrt. He has dark skin with light vitiligo patches, long fluffy auburn hair, dark eyes, and some chin hairs

A side view headshot of my original character Bit. It is a humanoid alien with mint green skin and two antenna, and lavender hair and eyes. It does not have age in the way humans do

A front facing headshot of my original character Tuna. She is a cis woman in her early thirties. She has yellow side parted bangs with braids, a mint green pony tail, a pink flower in her hair, one mint green eye, one yellow eye, and medium brown skin

A ¾ view of my original character Yarn. She is a trans woman in her early 40s who has been on HRT for nearly two decades. She has pink hair with a top bun, mint green eyes, and light skin

I have been drawing mine and my friends' fursonas so much the last few years that some of you probably don't know I have OCs, including human/humanoid ones! These are Kibble (he/him), Bit (it/its), Tuna (she/her), and Yarn (she/her). I drew these a few years ago

Twitch Twitch is the world

Lets place some pixel guys!

awe! Big thanks Airyu!!! I have actually been taking a bit of a break on it because work has been hard lately. Im planning on getting back to it this week though!

Ye My PVM-8042Q has got to be 16 inches long? just eyeballing it. I'll have to keep an eye out for a model like yours, else I could probably get a bigger desk 😅

✨🌙✨

Man I wish I had room to move my trinitron over and use it as a preview display. They make those little 8 inch PVMs too long 😆

Throwback Phi art. She's come so far since this.

A character striking a cute pose as if someone's taking her photo. She's wearing a one piece suite similar to a one piece swimsuit or leotard. She has matching knee high boots as well. Her hair is chin length and she holds her bangs back with hair clips. She also has elf ears and a tattoo of a triangle facing down on her forehead.

What she looks like now and still changing. Adding muscle in some of my wips now, though I am bad at it still. but learning!

Finally decided to try my hand at stardew buildings! Here's my first attempt at it and the seasonal variants. This one is gonna be for my dnd character who I have all the sprites and portaits done for already. Eventually I might offer building commissions alongside my sprites!

Going through old stuff. While I remember I participated in the #hyruleredrawn a few years ago, what I totally forgot was that my initial plan was much more ambitious LOL #pixelart

This would have been so funny as an addition to the map!

Happy 25th Anniversary to my favourite game of all time, Final Fantasy IX!

Will make a note of it then! Idk when Saturn Girl will get made but I already have ideas.

damn! Nearly 1100 likes and over 300 redoots. Thanks for all the love guys. May be inspired to run this with the Sega Saturn and Sega Dreamcast next!

Lune cosplay for my local Renn Fair! Skirt bc it's 91° outside 🫠 🥖 #expedition33

I need to do another in the future for Saturn and Dreamcast

Apparently, I never posted Mega Drive Girl here.
Well, here ya go!

As all should

Something about it right? I had the same vibe in my head, so I had to see it in action.
