But I will say the Ocarina of Time remake looks fantastic. Definitely getting that over GTA 6 in November.

Ed Bartlett @edtheanimationdork.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

I thought that Nintendo Direct did the trick, especially after that abysmal Gamescom showcase and State of Play on par with a bad apology video given Sony’s decision to kill discs. Though I wished there were more first party stuff, Metroid and Kirby were at least cool announcements.

I always love how you draw Isabelle and this design has to be my favourite. Several months ago, it even inspired me to take a jab at that design for my own art.

I just saw Coyote Vs. Acme in cinemas. Please go and see this movie! It has great humour, strong witty story, cool deep cut cameos and a compelling mystery. It was worth the wait/protests and is quite possibly the best Looney Tunes movies yet and one of the best hybrid films since Roger Rabbit.

Happy Birthday K.K. Slider!!! Here’s some art to one of, if not, my favourite character in ‘Animal Crossing’! #animalcrossing #kkslider #isabelle #nintendo

Isabelle giving K.K. Slider some cake wishing him for his birthday well whilst he feels bashful. They call each other ‘Cupcake’ and ‘Belle’ as pet names.

Thanks so much!!! I’ve wanted to draw something like this since MKW’s outfits were revealed. They opened up so many ideas for drawings.

Yoshi and Birdo’s Ice Cream Date Just drew this considering that it’s summertime and preparation for Mario Sunshine coming to NSO this Thursday. Shoutouts to @sigdowee.bsky.social for how I draw Birdo’s expression. #nintendo #yoshi #birdo #supermario #mariokartworld

Yoshi and Birdo on a date having ice cream sitting on the mermaid statue in Salty Salty Speedway from ‘Mario Kart World’ wearing appropriate vacation outfits. They’re aware of sitting on running water on the statue but are still enjoying themselves.

K.K. Slider and Isabelle in fancy clothing commemorating the anniversary of the series and if you ask me, the two faces of the whole franchise.

I don’t know how to feel about Evangelion getting a new series given how Thrice Upon A Time perfectly wrapped things up. But I do know that there is good talent behind it with Yoko Taro and I trust they’ll deliver something good having seen the teaser. I’ll save my thoughts closer to its release.

Well I think I might now finally have a reason to get this game, really hoping the other Xenoblade games get this treatment too.

Ed Bartlett @edtheanimationdork.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

I just got back from watching The Day the Earth Blew Up. If you’re living in the UK, please do yourself a favour and watch this movie. It’s got good laughs, turns and twists and I really liked Porky, Daffy and Petunia’s chemistry. It’s some of the best Looney Tunes content since the classic shorts.

Here’s some Nintendo ships I like spending this special day together. Happy Valentines Day!!! Shoutouts to @sigdowee.bsky.social and @strawbunnycake.bsky.social for giving me ideas for Birdo & Isabelle’s appearances. #nintendo #kirby #jigglypuff #yoshi #birdo #animalcrossing #kkslider #isabelle

Kirby and Jigglypuff on a flying warp star ride together. My personal favourite ship and I’ve been shipping these two ever since I first read and saw their relationship in Brawl in the Family.

Yoshi and Birdo ballroom dancing together. One of my personal favourite ships and I’ve been taking cues from SigDowee’s art and how she draws Birdo, especially with her expressive snout. I think it makes her cuter that way.

Bam and Rosie from Animal Crossing hugging whilst she gives him a kiss on the cheek during a nightly stroll on the beach. Don’t ask why I ship these two in particular, I just felt they looked perfect together.

K.K. Slider and Isabelle kissing whilst watching a sunset together in an isolated part of the forest. For Isabelle’s dress, I was inspired and took cues from bunnie’s designs of the character, namely the strawberry dress.

Ed Bartlett @edtheanimationdork.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

That State of Play was better than I anticipated. Rayman, the MGS4 rerelease, Marvel Tōkon release date, new God of War prequel, Time Crisis port and A NEW CASTLEVANIA GAME!?! Plenty to look forward to, well done Sony…

I stumbled across this picture near my bedside yesterday and I knew just what to do now… Shoutouts to the work of @sigdowee.bsky.social for giving me ideas for Birdo’s expressions. #nintendo #yoshi #birdo #supermario #fanart

My Yoshi and Birdo plushies looking huddled up from the camera angle.

My fanart of Yoshi and Birdo snuggling together watching TV. I’ve began taking cues for Birdo’s facial expressions from SigDowee’s art of her making Birdo more emotive.

Ed Bartlett @edtheanimationdork.bsky.social · 06/02/2026

I thought yesterday’s Partner Showcase was alright. Some nice surprises but nothing crazy. I’m intrigued with Console Archives, the Bomberman collection, Indiana Jones and FF7 Rebirth coming far sooner than I thought. Anyhow here’s Bomberman art I just drew. #nintendo #bomberman #nintendodirect

Here is some fanart of the latest movie stars in the Mario Universe. I gotta give shoutouts to the work @sigdowee.bsky.social influencing me for Birdo’s mouth expressions. Now I am really excited to see the Mario Galaxy Movie!!! #nintendo #mario #yoshi #birdo #supermariogalaxymovie

Yoshi and Birdo appearing together. I took inspiration of Birdo’s expressive mouth from SigDowee’s great artwork of the two dinos.

Mouser who made a surprise cameo in the trailer. Wouldn’t be too surprised if King Wart also appeared in the film.

After years of using Premiere Pro, I moved on to using DaVinci Resolve just last year which has all the essentials for editing software and the best part it’s free. There’s also Studio for a $295 one-time payment which allows more fancy movie stuff, but I think you can get by with the free one.
