I drew Belome three times in one day. The first time was completely from memory, the second time was with my bf looking at a reference image and telling me how to draw it, and the third time was with me directly looking at a reference. Guess which one is which lol

Bf and I 100%ed Pikmin 4 a bit ago and I had to doodle these Oatchis from memory because I've been so Oatchibrained ever since we beat it I love this space dog so much.

I'll draw a proper Oatchi eventually I promise

Continuing my trend of only playing PokΓ©mon spinoffs

So here's the fun part: I only had the Japanese version, but I was wondering if booting up the English ROM via TwilightMenu while having the cart inserted would still allow the keyboard to be detected. Aaand it does! I have no idea if anyone's tried it before but now you know

Fun addition to this post:

These nerds got me out of bed when I was barely awake to come and help them with Pokemon knowledge that they didn’t know.

Summer Games Done Quick has happened once again, so here’s the handful of art I made for it for certain games I watched throughout the week! Each piece has the game it was drawn for in the Alt Text.

On a miscellaneous note, drawing that Silent Hill image reminded me of one of the first times I ever drew the flagship monster for the series way back in the mid 2000s. Comparing these two drawings together, I'd say I've very much improved since then!

Commission for @tikara !! Thank you for your support! I had a fun time drawing the DJs, especially designing their outfits and drawing the decoration! It's been awhile since I drew a scenery, this piece makes me want to draw more backgrounds to practice with the depth and objects to fill the area :0

I hope you enjoy this piece! (❁´◑`❁)

Question but how much do you know about the Kirby series? Because there's a certain blue fish from that series that kind of looks like Student (at least to me anyway)

I know a bit about the Kirby series, but I haven't played many of the games and am not that familiar with some of the deeper lore outside of what I've seen and heard from friends and mutuals.

The main games I've played are Kirby Superstar (the original SNES version), Kirby's Dream Course, Kirby 64, some Star Allies with bf (we got bored with it) and Forgotten Land (100%ed co-op with bf). I have recently been going through more of the series on NSO, however; I've completed DL1 and DL2, and I still need to play DL3 and Adventure on it.

As for Kine, yeah I can kinda see it and he's even got the funny colors in his palette lmao. Thank you for the ask!

An assortment of drawings involving Tika and friends over the last few years that I’ve yet to archive here! Shenanigans include:

- Species swap with @akfamilyhome + his government mandated PokΓ©sona - Two Quilavas, RHG1951 and Vice, meet for the first time - BlizzBlu giving me Steam keys - Impromptu group movie where a bunch of people watched what is currently the highest rated Sharksploitation movie on IMDb - @bro3256 learns the hard way that you DON'T mess with the headgem - Vice, @farey8336, and I become bad influences for AK. - Tika eating totally normal cereal - Tika smashing her phone - Tika, Farey, and @tapswitcher-theoneandonly in a burnout pile - Me and Wind realizing we’re only in the middle of the week

Apart from Scratch-don, I’ve never really delved into creating another, more original character. But since late-September/early-November last year I’ve finally came up for my own personal circlehead/humanoid character, Harry! (generic name I know lol)

Not much is known about him other than the fact that he currently owns, runs, and lives in an abandoned arcade located at an abandoned shoreside town where all of its residents have been evacuated following a major laboratory incident some 20 plus years ago - except him, and because of this he technically has the entire town to himself 24/7! (And of course, he can survive just fine in the environment he is in.)

All by himself, he has transformed the abandoned arcade to become what is essentially his cool rhythm gaming pad where it is also open to certain visitors, if there are any. But his place still gets visited by his friends from all across the land and have a blast playing at his arcade, whether it be chilling and doing IIDX sessions together, or even for arcade reparation and advice!

And I think that’s as far as I have on his lore - it will continue as I pick up on new inspirations, and more silly tropes and traits I can apply that fits his mainly kind, cheerful, smug, but also can be easily flustered personality.

I would also like to give big shoutouts and thank @tikara for helping me out with his character design until this guy finally comes into fruition, and all the hours of fun workshops behind his lore to polish it down, it turned out very good and handsome I love it lol πŸ’šπŸ’šπŸ’š

I've drawn my fair share of fan art, but actually haven't really tried designing an original character from scratch...so I'm trying that, just because I can.

This is Leddy! He's basically a ghost stuck inside one of those LED globe displays (and also has a cool robe) There isn't a lot of known backstory for him yet, other than that he escaped from a haunted game cartridge, but accidentally got stuck in an LED globe after he mistook it for a crystal ball, which also...inconveniences his ghostly activities.

I'm just designing this guy as an experiment, so while I may do some doodles with him on occasion, he won't be a major part of my other work like YouTube videos or anything. Though if you'd like to do some fan art of him, that would be kinda cool and humbling lol

I got to help AK out with refining this guy’s design and lore from the initial concept he came up with! Here’s some of the rough designs and notes I made during the workshopping process.

This spooky goast is a good lad and I’m grateful to have helped out with them!

The start of the year brings another Awesome Games Done Quick marathon, so here’s all the Velocity art I made for specific games played this event! As always, you can see what game each piece is for in the Alt Text.

... and one quick bonus image based on the amazing performance by Guybrush and Stan before the Metal Gear Solid 3 run. Please watch it it’s incredible.
