Artfight has begun and I'm challenging myself to post daily drawings/updates! Or as close to daily as I can get, considering work just upped my hours :(( #wip

A sketchbook page with messy pencil thumbnail sketches of three characters with their own sections. The top section has three, with one being blank. The middle has three, with none being blank. And the bottom has four, with one being blank. Details on the characters are very hard to make out, but you can tell the first character is much more simple than the rest.

Got a couple morpho books as a little treat to myself and please tell me I'm not the only one who sees "handsome squidward" in this diagram. I know it's to demonstrate the relation between skeletal and muscle structure but. I can't not see it.

A picture of a page from the "face, head, and neck" morpho book. It shows a diagram of a head where the face is fully filled out but the cheeks, jaw, and top of the head are a skull structure. The skull look combined with the full facial features makes it resemble 'handsome squidward'

Once again disgusted to discover that practice, taking my time, simplifying my shapes, and chilling out on shading makes my art better. Disgusted. Enraged, even.

'lightly rendered' versions are done! Now I just have to finish that illustration and the game is . finished? Terrifying. #rpgmaker #oc

a rendered drawing of my goblin wizard character, kamma. He is smiling and is lit from the upper left with what looks like sunlight. His metal jewelry shines in the light and I'm very proud of it please notice that.

I don't know why I bothered trying out the test-rendered version when I knew I'd like it more and don't have time to make them all like that :(( Maybe after artfight I'll do a little update? #rpgmaker

making good progress on the game! The final sketch is finished so it's just art cleanup and some dialogue editing and I'm ready to go for my (hopefully) June 5th date :DD #rpgmaker #indiedev #wip

Telling your OC lore out loud to friends is so funny because it looks cool and poignant in your head and then actively telling it makes you feel like a 3 year old holding an etch a sketch

Yes I do need all 101 events, thank you for asking. (it was supposed to be exactly 100 but I forgot I'd need one for the cutscene too) #rpgmaker

was drawing some silly warmup sketches while on call with my partner and discovered I am oddly good at drawing a hamburger. I have never drawn one before, nor do I particularly like them, but in about 30 seconds I drew one. we have decided it's because I'm American, and this is an innate skill.

With the build done, and me wanting a month to prepare for artfight, that gives me .. about two weeks to finish this little rpgmaker game. Technically I should be able to do it but oh wow with everything going on it'll be close DD:

Feel like I'm in a movie in the worst way. Visiting my brother and his girlfriend and I got locked out except he's at work and she's sleeping. I just had to 90s romcom it and wake her up by throwing walnuts at her bedroom window. Still surprised it worked so well, honestly.

been struggling to get much done this past week but finally managed to knock out the sketches for urbek's expressions! between working on this game and prepping for artfight my energy is at 0 :((

two design sketches of my original characters, a half-troll named Urbek, and a goblin named Kamma. Both are mages.

not to spoil one of the puzzles but... god forbid I just say 'the dryad is magic, don't worry about it' no no I just *had* to spend an hour researching the coloration of cherry blossoms and how to affect them. speculative biology my beloved <3

a screenshot with the text "cherry blossoms get their color from anthocyanins, so do hydrangeas. a higher pH results in a more red/pink color, and a neutral pH affects the color much less. limestone can naturally keep water in a roughly 6.5-8.5 range. 7 is completely neutral.

less sunlight, and warmer weather can cause cherry blossoms to be more dully colored as well.

so we assume the water is lined with limestone, keeping the pH neutral-high. There is little sunlight in the cave-thing, and it traps heat well. therefore the flowers are less pigmented, and so is their dryad after staying here."

a screenshot of a web browser with several tabs open, all about cherry blossoms, flower coloration, or limestone. The displayed page is the wikipedia page for anthocyanins - specifically the pH subsection

working on the dryad sprite. I need pretty much one animation from her but oh man have I never done anything more than a simple walk cycle

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 13/04/2026

before and after I added some lighting !! it's not the greatest but I've given myself a time limit on this game so I'm pretty happy with how quickly I knocked it out

a couple more oc meme sketches, lesbian edition! I'll probably color all these eventually but for now they're a really good way to relax with everything going on. Game update coming soon!!

combating burnout from working on my game by drawing my favorite self indulgent OCs ! like mother like daughter, somehow cerys and dwynwen are always serving while vala and kavi are .. there for sure. (I can't even blame it on drawing men because vala isn't one)

three of my OCs drawn over a meme. Cerys is pointing threateningly at Vala's mother while lifting vala who looks somewhat distressed and clings to her like a child. You can see Vala's arm which showcases she is stronger than cerys.

Valas mother is seen from the back and labeled due to her not having a canon design and never appearing before

two of my OCs drawn over a meme. Dwynwen sits in the drivers seat, casually touching up her lipstick while Kavi, her husband, panickedly reaches across her for the steering wheel she's let go of.

Been having some extra stress at work and banging my head into a wall over the game I'm working on so I decided to try out the goauche I bought a little while back! I usually work in watercolor but this isn't too bad for a first try I think.

anthri @anthri.bsky.social · 02/04/2026

fixed that bug and am finally starting work on kamma's portraits! trying to get his energy right and he looks so much younger than he is. which is the point, that's why he's on this research trip anyway, but still. making him look both young and mature is hard.

finished another barotrauma wallpaper! I love this game so much, I wish I enjoyed it more singleplayer :(( Like last time you can grab a fullsized version (2560x1440) on my kofi! (It's free too, don't worry)
