A request done for @zhedblogs.bsky.social of their Zoroark character, Zed! They requested it performing the Shadow Ball maneuver. There's a bunch of flaws in this, and I have a TREMENDOUS amount to learn about posing, and anthropomorphic designs. But I'm definitely trying to learn.

A Zoroark wearing a green vest jacket is mid-air, angry, and charging up a "Shadow Ball" attack between their hands. They are posed aggressively. "Speed Lines" in the background imply an in-the-moment sense of action, combined with the dramatic lighting of the piece.

Oh heck, I appreciate it! I'm not someone that posts very much! Most of the art done isn't posted publicly on any website hahaha. Herring is a wonderful artist and fantastic person.

Ten years after I last worked on it, people are still writing me emails asking for my unfinished Sega Game Gear port of Pokémon Red. So I published it in its glitchy state: www.smspower.org/forums/20703...

Screenshot of a Sega Game Gear emulator. In-game, Pokémon Red, text states "SANQUI is playing the SMD!".

Glitchy in-battle screenshot. "CHARMANDER used SCRATCH!"

Bringing up the "Super Mario World art style" was a good way to cause a bit of debate on the MFGG forums back in the 00s. Even back then, everyone was aware what a mess that game's art style was.

A little expirement-slash-art-project, this image displays the individual tile graphics used in Pokémon Gold for the Game Boy Color. They are arranged in chronological order as they appear during regular gameplay. You could read it left to right, top to bottom, page by page, like a book.

Tiles from Pokémon Gold are arranged in a linear manner, revealing blocks of graphics pertaining to the intro, the title screen, the menus, and the overworld.

The fascinating bit about smaller scale independent vtubers is that they are arguably a return to the internet of old - we didn't represent ourselves as our IRL selves, but as an abstracted form represented virtually. It's not a new thing, it's simply a return to the internet of old, but on video!

Flygon @flygon.flurret.net · 28/07/2025

Yeah, I always wondered how displays and OS's are suppose to handle that. And as far as I could ever tell from research and asking others, the answer is "Good question". Not an issue drawing pixel art for machines with large enough steps above near-black. A gigantic issue elsewhere. @_@

Flygon @flygon.flurret.net · 28/07/2025

This isn't getting into sRGB apparently having a gamma of 2.2, NTSC one of 2.5, and PAL of 2.8, but screens for all three usually being calibrated to 2.4 anyway.

140

Flygon @flygon.flurret.net · 28/07/2025

All of this is to say I just try my best to convert machine colours from NTSC (1987)/PAL to sRGB for drawing inside sRGB. But damn it'd be nice to draw inside NTSC-J.

130

Flygon @flygon.flurret.net · 28/07/2025

All of this is to say we need DCI-P3 to become a universal standard over sRGB for PC monitors just so we can attain 95% of the colourspace gamut of NTSC (1953) and NTSC-J, finally making it possible to draw pixel art how it looked on high end CRT sets in Japan from the 80s and 90s.

Flygon @flygon.flurret.net · 28/07/2025

My eternal pain pain as a pixel artist dealing with sRGB vs NTSC (1987) (which most PAL variants are apparently calibrated to) vs NTSC (1953) vs NTSC-J. Bonus points that a lot of Japanese games assume NTSC-J, which makes them look dramatically different thanks to different whitepoint and gamma.

Flygon @flygon.flurret.net · 03/07/2025

Yeah, the texture of the paper helps me a lot. I think it's the lack of the parallax effect too.

Flygon @flygon.flurret.net · 03/07/2025

In some ways, it's a lot more enjoyable to be that weird cryptid in the corner that some people know, rather than to be a giant celebrity with a huge cult of personality. It sure makes it a lot easier to be one's self, than to always have to be appealing to a much broader audience.

010

Flygon @flygon.flurret.net · 03/07/2025

I find this affects me significantly, and makes it much harder for me to sketch digitally. I just have a much easier time visualising and drawing a piece on paper. I wonder how much of it is the paper canvas being a physical object I have direct interaction with, instead of a virtualised canvas.

Flygon @flygon.flurret.net · 18/06/2025

This is the sort of pixel art that inspires my own.

I have been tempted to get one at certain times precisely because of this. It would be less shameful than borrowing money from individuals to repay them back later during hard times.

I got informed literally an hour ago that it's Flygon Day. I was taken over by a sudden urge to draw. I haven't had much to post that isn't trapped onto my NSFW alt, so this is a rare thing that is both a 100% solo piece, and something I can post here. Even if it's rushed out in an hour! #フライゴンの日

More arm training needed. It's how I've held the same one for over 15 years.

Flygon @flygon.flurret.net · 21/02/2025

The amount of times I beg fellow artists to please use their screens's sRGB mode. Yes the factory calibration may not be great, and it will drift if the monitor's old. But it's better than having the screen be *even more wrong*. None of this applies if you own a colourometer, obviously.

060

Flygon @flygon.flurret.net · 21/02/2025

This is legitimately why I gave up and exclusively did pixel art for several years. You can't have faulty lines if everything is a dot! Yes I was too proud to use vectors.

Flygon @flygon.flurret.net · 05/02/2025

Yooo that's impressive as *hell*. If you can get it down to 448 tiles with the SMS's palette, you have something potentially really impressive for that machine.

Gift art for @flygon.flurret.net, depicting their Twitch stream incarnation as a mage from the world of their favorite RPG, #ShiningForce! #Art #FanArt #FurryArt #Furry #PixelArt #ドット絵

At daytime, a humanoid marsupial resembling a mix of ferret, raccoon and tanuki with green eyes, long ears with dark tips, and long hair stands in the grass next to a dirt road leading through a forest towards a mountain. They are wearing a short green cloak over golden robes with gold-plated pauldrons, a green sash, and a white stripe down the front with pink, arcane writing surrounding the shape of a watermelon. Their robe has short, puffy sleeves, and outside these sleeves, they wear long white gloves which hook between the thumbs and fingers, exposing their dark-furred hands. In their right hand is a mystical wooden staff, tipped in ornamental gold holding a ruby orb. From underneath the robe, the insteps of their gold-plated boots can be seen, as can their long, bushy and striped tail, which lifts up behind them and lifts the back of their robes along with it. Their hair and cloak blow in the wind, as the tracks in the dirt road leading toward the mountain can be seen.

Above this is the name "Flygon Breloom", separated by a bright light in the middle and written in ornamental, metallic letters. Underneath is the title, "The Livestreamer of Great Intention". Nearby is the URL "Twitch dot TV slash Flygon Breloom", and at the bottom are the words "Art by The Green Herring dot Neo Cities dot Org."

The piece is signed "TGH! 2025", written in a patch of dirt in the grass visible in one corner of the image.

With hindsight, I wish I did work with Ripparu on redrawing the arm to the left, but this was suppose to be a quick conversion that had managed to go well beyond what was intended. The bubbles created by the spinning tails were inspired by the glassy orb shading from the first Shining Force game.

000

Flygon @flygon.flurret.net · 16/01/2025

Alright, ACTUALLY getting posts onto this account now. This is a collaboration done with the fantastic lineartist @ripparubui.bsky.social . We found his older linework by complete accident, and I decided to do the pixel art drawover seven years delayed. This was a lot of fun for us both!

A white-furred Buizel (an otter-like Pokemon with two tails) spinning its two tails whilst deep underwater as a form of propulsion. It is looking at the bubbles generated with great fascination. The background displays many creatures of ambiguous design shown in shadowed form. There is a ray of light beaming in from the surface of the water, possibly moonlight. The scene has a heavy blue and purple tint.

Flygon @flygon.flurret.net · 15/01/2025

I feel more comfortable posting to this account regularly, with this split done. Beforehand, I was just facing endless decision paralysis. I know some friends encouraged me to keep it all under one roof, but this just wound up being the easier solution after much pondering on the subject.

Flygon @flygon.flurret.net · 15/01/2025

Hey! So, after a lot of consideration, I've decided to split my NSFW stuff onto a separate Bluesky account. The reasoning is simple - enough SFW non-furry friends follow me here that I don't want to annoy them with NSFW posts. If you want to see the NSFW, please follow @flygonaftd.flurret.net !

I figured out how to set up the custom domain stuff with Bluesky hahaha. I'll be making a semi-important post soonish. I'll be more active soon. I've been keeping quiet due to how busy IRL has been. I hope you've all been going well!

So many people forget that "fractured social media" was the initial state of the internet. People using internet forums, and using proto-social media websites for extremely niche interests (ie. how services such as Fur Affinity are surprisingly close to modern social media with a gallery emphasis).

I've been having the same problem too, after a recent Windows update. I thought my SSD was just too full. Maybe I was wrong.

Flygon @flygon.flurret.net · 28/10/2024

Indirectly contradicting my previous post, should I post art I've worked on or collaborated with onto Bluesky? If I do, any art I post onto this specific account will be purely SFW. If I post NSFW, that would be on a separate account. A not-insubstantial amount of non-furry folks I know (1/2)
