my piece for the Riptide Raiders OC Zine! Boyfriend is an eternal temp at the Splatsville Temp Office, and landed a gig as a helicopter pilot at a pretty bad time... #oc

a piece showing a hand-woven carabiner on the left and a drawing of Bugs' oc Boyfriend on the right. text from left-down to right-down reads: Cherished Hand-Woven keyring, Big Man made himself a keyring early on to make sure he didn't lose anything important. funnily enough, it was the keyring that went missing, not nay of his valuables...strange. ...oh well, he can always just make another one! BOYFRIEND, the "handy-man". an eternal temp worker who landed a gig as a helicopter pilot at an unfortunate time. being "the mechanic" is the longest time he's ever kept one job. though he may not look it, he's secretly a deep cut superfan. he would rather die than have them find out, so he's been nervously tight-lipped for a while now... now he's too embarrassed to reveal he's not actually that cool. oops!

my Pokemon ocs that i love and adore and need to draw more often

art of Bugs' two Pokemon ocs, Buzz and Rufus (Ruff), embracing each other. both have text next to them giving short details about them. Buzz's read: younger twin (4 min), training to be a gym leader, biker, hates dating. Ruff's read: older twin, high-rank global ranger, pilot (hobby), has a BF. Buzz is looking off to the side moodily while Ruff is smiling at the camera

there are two wolves inside me. both have OCD

a sketchy 2 panel comic titled "im unmedicated". in panel one bugs (wearing a shirt that says "this is my logical thinking shirt") is gripping a silhouette with stressed out hands saying "dude, you need to make that long comic talking about gender essentialism for pride or you're going to be cursed." panel 2 shows a second bugs on his computer looking unimpressed back at the first bugs. he says "can you shut the fuck up in trying to play RuneScape"

a little money can fix your HURTBREAK 🪙🦾 new ULTRAKILL charms came in, im really happy with the execution on these. wanted to try some new techniques out and learned a lot. BIG fan of the Providences as enemies…

a charm of a Providence angel from ULTRAKILL hooked on a monstera plant. the charm is completely see through barring the eye of the Providence, which has a gold foil. linked to the bottom are multiple accessory charms, including the pink hook point that spawns after defeating a Providence. the other accent charms are red droplet charms, looking like blood drops

a small charm of the coin from ULTRAKILL's marksman pistol. it has a gold ball chain. this side of the coin features a lion

why do i only draw letters now? a sort of rant comic about where i am with art. my beautiful, evil muse. been furious about this lately

a sketchy beginning comic panel with no dividers. bubble text at the top is in various graffiti styles, spelling out the title "why do i only draw words now?". the other borderless panels feature bugs' sona sitting and talking. his speech bubbles read: "i don't really like drawing lately. im super frustrated about it. i used to do it all the time. i used to be 'good at it'."

the comic continues. the first panel has a full body of bugs' sona standing, saying "...but that's not rly true, is it? I'm not 'bad' at art NOW." the next two panels feature him working out at the gym. text overtop reads "if i skip a week at the gym, I'm not 'bad' at working out when i come back. i just gotta work a little harder to get back to where i was before." the last panel goes back to him sitting, with a sketch of a brain behind him. "brain's a muscle. hand's a muscle. art's a sport, lol. I've been playing a lot of those (esports) lately, so maybe framing it that way will help."

the comic continues, with much better structure and style. bugs' sona talks and sits at the top, with a drawing of his stylus beside him. "my skill is still there, it's just kinda... buried?" the stylus drawing is now covered in dirt. bugs is then pictured above the dirt with a shovel. "i guess i gotta start digging." the panels open up to a large sketch of bugs' sona posed like a dress-up game, with his old outdoor next to him crossed out and new clothing items floating next to them. he goes on to say "at least I've been taking the time to really reflect on my goals and how to reinvent myself as an artist. it's like the kind of transition moving to a new place has. stressful and annoying, but also refreshing—an opportunity to discard the old and start anew."

a mostly empty page with bugs' sona in the middle, slamming his table. "i really hope the annoying part is over soon, tho."

sorry for video the long way but heres a comparison of flight times w Stealth Jump player 2 player jumps w no qsj versus 2 subs (standard build). flight time for both s-jumpers doesnt change at all, no matter the distance tried with max sub pwr up beakons too. looks like SJ massively overrides it

this one was the first one i did and you can clearly tell from how muddy it looks lol. not nearly enough extreme black and white. i also made my brush size smaller in places which makes it worse. it's kinda cool to compare it to the other 3 though — and with each study i did i got faster and faster
