Trying Procreate today! I think I'd hate it for comic / heavy lineart work, but so far it's insane for painting. I've never been able to mimic my traditional painting style this closely before. It's still not really... close. But close enough. #wip #myart

From a few days ago! Don't mind the fact that the screencap is in GameMaker and I didn't crop it. I'll do better with future Renaissance Anthem in-game sneak peeks <3 This is all for testing for now to make sure the tileset works right #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames #gameart #pixelart #wip

#indiegames There aren't a lot of channels out there that cover obscure indie games so do go and encourage them. Each game gets a short but pretty meaningful review so yo ucan probably identify some cool games from it.

Wanted to refresh this as it's still true <3 I'm getting some chronic health things taken care of that have been a long time coming, so I'm very busy. But I'm still working on the game! I promise it. It's just slow going right now. I might post some art soon for stuff I've been doodling.

Been working super hard on Renaissance Anthem lately! I'll have lots to show with the next devlog for the game. I just want to add a few more things first before doing screencaps, etc. I'd looooove to be able to show a short video for it, you see!

I’ve only ever been Mii. (Consider this my celebration for Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream finally releasing)

My Mii OC Quit in multiple costumes from multiple Nintendo games. Including as the king from Find Mii, in a hamster costume from Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, an Imp from Miitopia, a Mii Brawler from Super Smash Bros Ultimate, and in a Mario costume from the New Super Mario series.

Wanted to add that I spent the entirety of yesterday sleeping through the pain. So I'm better today, but still very much taking it easy so I don't cause a second flareup (this has been known to happen). I get a lot of nerve pain on the right side of my face, neck and down my right arm.

No dev or artist gets a chance to be seen or show what they have been working on without others sharing posts. It makes a difference and can lead to them finding work, selling prints and getting wish listed for games and it’s not much but it’s better then doing nothing and dose support them.

Taking a short break from game dev to recharge my batteries, regroup and decide what part of the game to tackle next! The tileset is entirely done nowwww <3 I'm considering doing the logo next just so I have something for when I post on here to do with the game.
