This week we revealed our game, Bandwagon! It's such a fun project to work on :) It's still relatively early, we need some feedback to make the best version of this adventure/survivor-like game! So please join the upcoming playtest if you have some time (starting very soon!), thank you! #gamedev

Here's a classic drawing I did for @goawayimcrabby.bsky.social, inspired by the way she draws herself. Or at least, how she did when she gave herself longer hair. Sam is doing great at posting and building a community out there, and she's doing great as the boss of Cheekynauts Entertainment!
Quick pencil sketch of a woman (Crabby Sam) wearing a fancy suit jacket and folding her hands authoritatively behind a name plate that simply reads, "Da Boss!!"

Please enjoy this new art! It's a sketchbook page I shared before, featuring this cool tough woman named Meredith Black, an original character from Azure Claw Comics! But now, I've colored it, which I think really brings out something!
