PC woke up today and chose violence. I would be very afraid of being a pirate right about now. #penguinvspirates #gameart #speeddraw #gamedev #timelapse #sketch #artist #2dart #pencils🐧🏴‍☠️

While we cooldown before the start of the next series we thought everyone would like to see the practice pieces we did. Hope you enjoy. #penguinvspirates #gameart #speeddraw #gamedev #timelapse #sketch #artist #2dart #pencils🐧🏴‍☠️

PC is practicing her Chandler Bing impression, unfortunately her face shows what she truly means. 🙄🐧 #penguinvspirates #gameart #speeddraw #gamedev #timelapse #vectorart #artist #2dart #colors 🐧🏴‍☠️

Don't you sometimes think back at something you did and go "why?". PC is regretting eating that extra fish yesterday. 🙄🐧 #penguinvspirates #gameart #speeddraw #gamedev #timelapse #vectorart #artist #2dart #vectors 🐧🏴‍☠️

❄️Frozen Machine⚙️ @frozenmachine.bsky.social · 17/06/2025

Do you have a good poker face, or like PC everything you think just shows up on your face? #penguinvspirates #gameart #speeddraw #gamedev #timelapse #artist #2dart #cartoon #sketch 🐧🏴‍☠️

When you show the bug to someone else just for it to work as intended in front of them 🙂🐧 #penguinvspirates #gameart #speeddraw #gamedev #timelapse #vectorart #artist #2dart #shading 🐧🏴‍☠️

❄️Frozen Machine⚙️ @frozenmachine.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

When you ask someone "Could you repeat that?" but you still didn't hear them right so you just smile and nod 😊🐧 #penguinvspirates #gameart #speeddraw #gamedev #timelapse #vectorart #artist #2dart #colors 🐧🏴‍☠️

❄️Frozen Machine⚙️ @frozenmachine.bsky.social · 29/05/2025

The moment your code finally works but you don't know how so you just smile and let it be 😊🐧 #penguinvspirates #gameart #speeddraw #gamedev #timelapse #vectorart #artist #2dart 🐧🏴‍☠️

When was the last time while making your game that you got this look? #penguinvspirates #gameart #speeddraw #gamedev #timelapse #vectorart 🐧🏴‍☠️

❄️Frozen Machine⚙️ @frozenmachine.bsky.social · 06/05/2025

We figured it out! PC was upset because her shading wasn't done. Phew. That was close. #penguinvspirates #gameart #vectorart #speeddraw #gamedev 🐧🏴‍☠️

041

❄️Frozen Machine⚙️ @frozenmachine.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

PC is now upset because she couldn't pick up some LEGO Star Wars today. To be fair, who doesn't want the special Jango Fett keychain. We'll distract her with some fish though. #penguinvspirates #gameart #vectorart #speeddraw #gamedev 🐧🏴‍☠️

❄️Frozen Machine⚙️ @frozenmachine.bsky.social · 24/04/2025

PC is going through the five stages of grief right now as she got some pretty sad news. Maybe some gaming tonight will help her mood. #penguinvspirates #gameart #vectorart #speeddraw #gamedev 🐧🏴‍☠️

❄️Frozen Machine⚙️ @frozenmachine.bsky.social · 22/04/2025

What is the number one reason you get angry while doing game dev? For PC it has to be when there is an unknown bug in the game that takes us way too long to fix. #penguinvspirates #gameart #sketch #speeddraw #gamedev 🐧🏴‍☠️

051

❄️Frozen Machine⚙️ @frozenmachine.bsky.social · 17/04/2025

Does anyone have any relaxation techniques? Seems like PC could use some right about now... #penguinvspirates #gameart #vectorart #speeddraw #gamedev 🐧🏴‍☠️

❄️Frozen Machine⚙️ @frozenmachine.bsky.social · 15/04/2025

Everyone, remember to take a breather from time to time to put things in perspective. We got this 🦾. No sense in worrying about every little thing, one thing at a time! #penguinvspirates #gameart #vectorart #speeddraw #gamedev 🐧🏴‍☠️

062

❄️Frozen Machine⚙️ @frozenmachine.bsky.social · 10/04/2025

Oh no! PC is worried about deadlines now. I think it is something we all as #indiedev can relate to as well. Is anyone watching the Triple-i Initiative? #iiiShowcase #penguinvspirates #gameart #vectorart #speeddraw #gamedev 🐧🏴‍☠️

091

❄️Frozen Machine⚙️ @frozenmachine.bsky.social · 08/04/2025

Hey PC is no longer sad but now she seems to be worried about something... Maybe the Switch 2 game prices? We're not sure #indiedev #penguinvspirates #gameart #sketch #speeddraw #gamedev 🐧🏴‍☠️

❄️Frozen Machine⚙️ @frozenmachine.bsky.social · 01/04/2025

Even a week off didn't help PC's blues. We're out of ideas 😰 #indiedev #penguinvspirates #gameart #vectorart #speeddraw #gamedev 🐧🏴‍☠️

❄️Frozen Machine⚙️ @frozenmachine.bsky.social · 20/03/2025

Chocolate nor ice cream have helped PC's blues. How do you help those close to you deal with their sad moments? #indiedev #penguinvspirates #gameart #vectorart #speeddraw #gamedev 🐧🏴‍☠️

❄️Frozen Machine⚙️ @frozenmachine.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

Okay so chocolate treats didn't work, PC is still sad. What treat should we try next? 🤔 Maybe getting 7 extra YouTube subscribers would do the trick? Breaking 100 would be a nice treat for her we're sure. #indiedev #penguinvspirates #gameart #sketch #speeddraw #gamedev 🐧🏴‍☠️

084

❄️Frozen Machine⚙️ @frozenmachine.bsky.social · 13/03/2025

Why is PC sad? We don't know, maybe some treats will cheer her up 😟 Or maybe if you subscribed to our newsletter she would be happy again? 🤔 #indiedev #penguinvspirates #gameart #sketch #speeddraw #gamedev 🐧🏴‍☠️

❄️Frozen Machine⚙️ @frozenmachine.bsky.social · 11/03/2025

Did you guys know that a group of penguins in the water is called a raft but on land they’re called a waddle? So be sure to tell the rest of the raft (or waddle) to join our newsletter to join the penguin colony or pirate crew! #indiedev #penguinvspirates #gameart #vectorart #gamedev 🐧🏴‍☠️

What has everyone been up to lately? PC's vacation was absolutely amazing, and while she is tired from it she is also very happy for the memories. #indiedev #penguinvspirates #gameart #vectorart #gamedev 🐧💙

We made some stickers for giveaways at shows, this is the first in a new series of videos. We tried replicating some of our favorite emojis! #indiedev #penguinvspirates #gameart #sketch #gamedev

PC is really excited for the Switch 2. Do we think Metroid Prime 4 will be a launch title? #gamedev #indiedev #penguinvspirates #gameart #vectorart #gaming

You can't tell, but PC has been practicing her drifting on preparation for Mario Kart 9. #gamedev #indiedev #penguinvspirates #gameart #vectorart #gaming

The last part of our Coffee Break key art is here, we use this now in the office when asking others to give us a break before we get into any official business. #gamedev #indiedev #penguinvspirates #gameart #vectorart

As indie developers sometimes we want to sell merch but don't know where to start, does anyone have any leads on good quality and affordable merch stores? #gamedev #indiedev #penguinvspirates #gameart #vectorart

What does the #gamedev community have first thing in the morning while working? Coffee ☕ Tea 🍵 Hot chocolate 🍫? Perhaps something else? #penguinvspirates #vectorart #gameart

❄️Frozen Machine⚙️ @frozenmachine.bsky.social · 17/12/2024

As #gamedev we transform coffee, and pizza into code and art. I'm sure many of you can relate? Our next speed draw series is called Coffee Break! Starting with this lovely sketch of PC feeling quite tired in the mornings before her first meeting. #sketch #gameart #penguinvspirates

How does the #gamedev community pick what key-art goes on team shirts? The final piece to finish the key-art for Penguin Slide is here. We got this printed on our shirts and it looks pretty sweet! #penguinvspirates #speeddraw #vectorart #gameart

❄️Frozen Machine⚙️ @frozenmachine.bsky.social · 10/12/2024

How does the #gamedev community pick their colour palettes? We're colouring the Penguin Slide key-art. This serves as a base for us to lock down the colour palette for PC the Penguin and for the game. #penguinvspirates #gameart #speeddraw #vectorart

❄️Frozen Machine⚙️ @frozenmachine.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

We are trying to decide when it would be appropriate in the game to reward this art as an achievement. How does the Bluesky #gamedev community design achievements? #vectorart #gameart #penguinvspirates #indiedev

❄️Frozen Machine⚙️ @frozenmachine.bsky.social · 03/12/2024

In case you didn't have 2 minutes to see the Penguin Slide pencils time-lapse 🐧, what about 26 seconds to view it here now? #gameart #sketch #penguinvspirates #timelapse
