Fun fact. I have literally started this game and played it for five minutes, get hyped about its intro, and then abruptly stop and forget about it for years and have done so multiple times since the early 2000s. I should really, really, really play Policenauts all the way through sometime.

Been feeling the need to do some Tactical Espionage Action again soon. A friend on here was playing Metal Gear Ac!d, and it not only made me wanna revisit both of those especially, but just do a playthrough of all of it all over again.

This is one of my longest hated examples of tell and not show that is abysmal in all its execution.

Hes even cooler now that I colored him in procreate.

I really wanna do more sketch cards. Like this Bucky O'Hare I made this morning.

I have a metric billion of Sketch Cards. And i am trying to do motivate myself to do more art and stay functional with doing commissions. I am offering these for $20 shipped ($35 for full marker color.) Until i get tired of doing them. Let me know in the comments if youre wanting a thing.

Celebrating FCBD with mister Markus Grayson in a fun before/after rendition. I’m loving my new sketch card templates and while these are digital, I wanna put pen and copics to them and recreate these in physical. Did a LOT of art tonight.

Lunchtime digital sketches of these two jerks.

Picked up a new set of digital markers called Chromatone from True Grit for Procreate, and love how they work. Also messed around with doing semi-traditional caricature drawings and was happy with how these came out too. Hoping to do more in the future.

I am trying my best to be active as an artist, so I felt I’d also share here. I am drawing original custom headshots for profile pics again. My rate is $50 for full color (like the samples) with $25 down to start work. Please message me for more details. Let me draw you something cool!

Pretty excited to finally announce the first (in which will be a series) of drink and draw events in the Tampa Bay (maybe soon to Orlando?) Area encouraging analog hangouts with intention of drawing stuff with like minded people. I called it Art for Humans, and I love my logo. Check it out.

Game 1 of 2026 was Slugblaster, by way of playing a Slugblaster Turbo one-shot. Group was happy to be in 1987, experience high school bullying, tear through two alien dimensions, get duplicated by a green blob, and kick flip TWO quantum centipedes, respectively.

All the x-men reading I've been doing (finally going through the Age of Krakoa, which has been a lot.) has finally had its unfortunate, expected toll. This book has come back out from hiding. And it desires to be opened and played in its full, deadliest form, with a group of enthusiastic people.

Internet Famous Joe Martin @joerocks1981.bsky.social · 09/01/2026

I really do enjoy making these for each game I stream and really want/hope to continue this trend into the new year.

View from my work desk. These are good things worth sharing to the world while my brain crumbles into atomized chaos on fire.

Its one of two notes that im gonna keep in my wallet. The other is literally the informative, to the point of almost disciplinary note to remind myself to stop being dumb in a listed example format.

Insane project complete. I made a physical version of SNK vs. CAPCOM CARD FIGHTERS CLASH (with my own layouts and still utilizing sprites.) Including all the two core games and EXPAND. Because I want to play it with my wife, and dont want to have to get 2 ngpcs, 2 games, a link cable, etc.

Been playing this again little bit this morning for the first time in awhile. Forgot how great this game is.

I feel absolutely terrible. Florida plague doesn’t skip a beat.

A reminder that this hobby isn't fun at all anymore.

This place, man. The feeling of being away from all of it and somewhere peaceful. Can't tell you how much I needed this.

Internet Famous Joe Martin @joerocks1981.bsky.social · 14/08/2025

Drew a Castle Crasher (he's the red one. The best one.) On a sketch card. Sharing it here because that's what you do when you combat real world oriented depression.

Sunday, I'm realizing I dont know a damn thing about the actual lore of this game, and deciding to fix it with this for some reason.

Internet Famous Joe Martin @joerocks1981.bsky.social · 08/08/2025

Excited about comics today for some reason. Here's a bunch of MegaMan stuff that came in and a sketch card i drew just to do it. #megaman #megamanx #drawing

Internet Famous Joe Martin @joerocks1981.bsky.social · 04/07/2025

I really wanna play either of these again.

Internet Famous Joe Martin @joerocks1981.bsky.social · 01/06/2025

Made some foldable mini paper templates in indesign. Didn't feel like drawing some test graphics for them, but did decide to make some out of one of each of the Final Fantasy Tactics job classes. These little guys are great!

This picture cheers me up when I really need it. Today, I really need it.

As per Thursday standard, also ate Taco Bell. The results were a B-, which is above average for my local franchise. Good, but not great.

I have always wanted to and oddly, inexplicably have never played Shadow of the Ninja before. I fixed this tonight on my twitch stream. Here’s the results.

Today is my second anniversary of marriage with my wonderful wife, Daylina. I am sharing a photo of us from date night a few weeks ago. Like many weekends, we were experiencing something new together while smiling, laughing, and feeling content with each other. These moments are what I love.

The world sure is something. I don't want this. I don't know WHO would want this. I don't know WHO would pay $200 actual dollars for this.

Internet Famous Joe Martin @joerocks1981.bsky.social · 24/03/2025

Im pretty sure this is the same artist, because I know I've looked this up recently. I love this cover art, too.

Internet Famous Joe Martin @joerocks1981.bsky.social · 21/03/2025

The part of me that really wants something like this has to contend with the realities of the following things. 1) i seldom use minis for my games. 2) i seldom have space to store things like this. 3) i seldom plan literally any of my TTRPG stuff to account for a map. 4) i literally don't need it.

Good morning and happy friday to you. Here's the best GB color variant.

Granted, I cheated and this is procreate, but I wonder why I don’t pencil sketch anymore. I like how it tends to work out and could look cool for certain things.

Unrelated to everything, but honestly true.

Trying to think of more positive game centric stuff to post on here. Oh, I've been non-streaming playing/enjoying Final Fantasy Adventure again. I haven't played it since I was 9, and I'm having fun revisiting it. I have been on a classic GB kick lately, and im always up for a Mana game.

Internet Famous Joe Martin @joerocks1981.bsky.social · 15/03/2025

I made a TTRPG today because I was annoyed at things. Should edit it a little bit more, but it’s basically Bucky o’hare…but with otters. Should I put it up for download/sale on itch.io?

The feeling when your total garbage former boss finally gets fired from the company you used to be at but quit because of their brand of bullshit.

Might as well use this space too. Trying to get ahead of some things. I am opening up commissions again and these are my rates and a few examples I had handy.
