Omni Jacala @artsyomni.com · 29/03/2026So is it safe to say at this point that the choice to go with Mario Galaxy as a second movie was motivated primarily by the intention to expand the universe? It's a convenient framing to facilitate drawing from as many different sources as possible, including other Mario games and other IPs. 6553
Omni Jacala @artsyomni.com · 10/01/2026I doodled this back in June of last year but never finished it. Now I wish I had. =P the file is called "missing babies." Now there's only one left! 1354
Omni Jacala @artsyomni.com · 12/11/2025"Everything is [art], Dash" "Which is another way of saying [nothing] is." I don't know that I agree with this hypothetical sentiment, but it does give me something to think about. 120
Omni Jacala @artsyomni.com · 24/09/2025I don't play Pokemon games, and I don't have any interest in either of these games. But Palfarm looks like somebody dropped their Pokemon toys all over somebody's backyard garden in a GTA game. Pokopia's art style is so much more appealing, despite how derivative it is. 118610
Omni Jacala @artsyomni.com · 05/06/2025This was a fun project to work on! My contributions were Iwata-san and Koizumi-san. Switch was a pretty cool system and an awesome era to experience. Here's hoping Switch 2 can capture some of the same magic! 311430
Omni Jacala @artsyomni.com · 13/04/2025Ah. When I "test" the grip on a Joy-Con 1, my thumb isn't even touching the right stick. But I'm sort of holding it while imagining an accessory that puts more plastic somewhere beneath my ring and pinky fingers to grip onto. 100
Omni Jacala @artsyomni.com · 04/04/2025I just can't get past this. I don't see how you can say this with a straight face. 253
Omni Jacala @artsyomni.com · 04/04/2025I'm going to just guess that you haven't paid much attention to Bomberman over the years. He's gone through a lot of iterations. 140
Omni Jacala @artsyomni.com · 03/04/2025Oh man. I love Crash 4 Crash. Dedede oscillates between two fundamentally different designs, based on ones from Superstar and Crystal Shards. Star Fox's redesigns have been more radical than DK's. Like, look at the facial proportion differences here. Sonic is still 1 character separated by time. 120
Omni Jacala @artsyomni.com · 03/04/2025In Paper Mario, it's understood that the character is still Mario, even though his features are drastically different. In Theatrhythm, this is still Cloud. Body shape is *nothing* like Cloud. He superficially has the same attributes (hair, clothing). Different stylistic lens. 190
Omni Jacala @artsyomni.com · 02/04/2025The DK face design revision was the right call, and the results speak for themselves. If you disagree, I don't trust your judgment. =P 15651941305
Omni Jacala @artsyomni.com · 18/01/2025I'm seeing a lot of people who haven't yet realized that the Switch 2 Joy-Con Strap doesn't attach magnetically. In fact, the entire magnetic face of the Joy-Con is just fully exposed to the open air. The strap attaches with a simple mechanical latch. 315613
Omni Jacala @artsyomni.com · 17/01/2025Now that Nintendo is embracing the "classic mario" aesthetic, more YouTubers need to become familiar with the names Yoichi Kotabe and Shigehisa Nakaue. Kotabe solidified the 2D Mario look in the late 80s and early 90s, and Nakaue has been carrying that torch in newer games. 191950711
Omni Jacala @artsyomni.com · 16/01/2025I'm not saying this is a reasonable expectation for Switch 2. But if a mouse-style IR sensor is part of the base feature set, and games actually support it as an input, who's to say this wouldn't be possible, even if only from third parties? 4939
Omni Jacala @artsyomni.com · 22/08/2023A little something I whipped up this evening. Thanks for being our Mario, Charles Martinet! 0463
Omni Jacala @artsyomni.com · 20/08/2023Since we can't post video yet, I'll be posting some WIPs for Project Pipe Dream on here. For cool kids only. Here's a Phanto! 3241
