The Game Detective @gamedetective.bsky.social · 3hTo the random lady who came up to me while I was in the city and asked if I thought you were pretty. First off, I can't see your face with that mask on. Second, I didn't mean to be rude, I was just in a hurry. Third, the way you were holding those scissors was kind of menacing. 000
The Game Detective @gamedetective.bsky.social · 03/10/2026So I reimagined Pikachu as a young and heroic traditional shonen protagonist. Like a fursona, but a person. We really ought to have a word for that. More details in the alt text. 000
The Game Detective @gamedetective.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Also, here are some arts I did of some anime animals. Anime...als... nope, not gonna work, but you get the idea. 000
The Game Detective @gamedetective.bsky.social · 03/10/2026*names my account after my gaming hobby* *Proceeds to talk about a lot of not game related stuff* So who wants to read a rant on the concept of knowledge and education? Take a second to think about how we learn about things as children. It is dramatically oversimplified... 100
The Game Detective @gamedetective.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Science Fact: Despite the band's popularity, Lead is not a good material for making Zeppelins. Historically they were actually made of Aluminum or a similar material. Lead is far too soft and heavy. 000
The Game Detective @gamedetective.bsky.social · 03/10/2026My Bluesky feed is full of discussion on AI got some reason. Now some of it I get. I like art. People who make art don't like AI. It's going to come up. But why does my feed occasionally have someone saying "AI is good actually." And then I want to argue, which is bad for my health. 000
The Game Detective @gamedetective.bsky.social · 02/10/2026This activated a thought process for me, which is "Things that I know but couldn't explain." I know this wouldn't work. I absolutely 100% know it. I have a vague understanding of where the mechanical failing in the idea is. If asked to explain it, I would absolutely fail. 110
The Game Detective @gamedetective.bsky.social · 01/10/2026The most glaring thing I see when watching clips of this interrogation of Jack Smith is how easily he answers questions. Compare it to any hearing where a Republican gets questioned and has to run out the clock with non-answers the whole time. 000
The Game Detective @gamedetective.bsky.social · 30/09/2026On this account I almost exclusively follow artists and gamers, but my feed is very full of politics. It's politics I agree with, but it sure would be nice fo see cool fantasy art and gaming stuff come up more often so I could escape the terror of the world. 000
The Game Detective @gamedetective.bsky.social · 29/09/2026You know it probably contributed to me losing my job, but when a coworker was raging about how "Obamacare" ruined everything, I asked him if he "preferred the ACA" and got him to shift to ranting about how while the ACA wasn't perfect it was much better than Obamacare. 000
The Game Detective @gamedetective.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Working on using markers as a coloring device, as well as drawing new figures. Went with a drawing of The Mountain from A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones. I'm not unhappy with it. 000
The Game Detective @gamedetective.bsky.social · 26/09/2026We need more independent superhero fiction out there. I want superheroic stories that aren't tied to big franchises. I'm also realizing that if I want a lot of this stuff, there's probably a market for it. That or in 8 Billion people in the world nobody shares my taste. 000
The Game Detective @gamedetective.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Reputation is a powerful thing. One time I was at a con and a vendor was incredibly mean to me. Years later I was talking to another vendor and I mentioned an "incredibly rude comic vendor" and that description was enough for my new friend to identify EXACTLY who I was talking about. 000
The Game Detective @gamedetective.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Ever so often my Youtube feed starts popping up weird far right propaganda and I start getting introspective like "What have I done to make you think I would like this?" I did watch one video to the end because the person sounded so dumb that I thought it was a parody until there was no punchline. 000
The Game Detective @gamedetective.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Did a piece of fantasy art. I have had trouble finding good references, but this one from Mens Kilt Outfit on Insta was excellent. By the way, if any other artists want to recommend a good place to find pose and costume references, I would love suggestions. 010
The Game Detective @gamedetective.bsky.social · 24/09/2026And because I haven't drawn anything tokusatsu related in a bit, here is a sketch of Ryuutaros from Kamen Rider Den-O. Because sometimes you just need a breakdancing bat in your life. 000
The Game Detective @gamedetective.bsky.social · 23/09/2026So I haven't actually watched pro wrestling in a while, but some of the poses that the performers strike are excellent for art practice. With that in mind, here is today's practice: Roman Reigns gearing up for a Superman Punch. 000
The Game Detective @gamedetective.bsky.social · 22/09/2026It always made me sad that Alice from Friday the 13th dies at the beginning of the sequel. Worked so hard to survive part 1. I would have preferred her part 2 cameo to be at the end, watching a news story about Jason's killings like "I TOLD you he was still out there!" 000
The Game Detective @gamedetective.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Okay, hear me out. I want to see a Guyver style superhero story with art by Junji Ito, because that space where adventure and horror collide is a wonderful thing. 000
The Game Detective @gamedetective.bsky.social · 17/09/2026So for some lesser known henshin heroics, we have The Guyver, hero of a classic anime and an American movie (does it count as tokusatsu?) starring Jack Armstrong and Mark Hamill. Talking about this guy as a kid in the 90s meant repeating "No, not MacGyver, THE Guyver..." a lot. 062
The Game Detective @gamedetective.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Another sketch. Kamen Rider ZO. This was my introduction to Kamen Rider through the Sega CD FMV game. It made me get super excited, and then very disappointed, by Saban's Masked Rider, but it did start a lifelong love of Tokusatsu. 033
The Game Detective @gamedetective.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Today's sketch: A Valkyrie from Super Dimension Fortress Macross, an anime that I have only watched a tiny bit of, but whose American counterpart Robotech gives me a disproportionate amount of Nostalgia. 091
The Game Detective @gamedetective.bsky.social · 15/09/2026So I'm revisiting my noir roots in my art. This is a hasty sketch (about an hour or so) of a scene from the film Double Indemnity. Reference included. 000
The Game Detective @gamedetective.bsky.social · 09/09/2026So since I'm still unemployed, I'm streaming again. Come join me for some art and then playing Phantasy Star: 20 Years Later. Come join my investigation. twitch.tv/gamedetectivetwitch.tvGameDetective - Live on TwitchArt before the game begins! Join me for sprite art, then retro gaming! | Streaming art. 031
The Game Detective @gamedetective.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Did this pretty hastily (like 2 hours or so) just to try to get practice with shadows and perspective and such. I'm a bit Kamen Rider fan. I got started with ZO, specifically the SEGA CD video game, but I wanted to make Ichigo the first one I took a crack at drawing. 020
The Game Detective @gamedetective.bsky.social · 06/09/2026So Halloween has a new game out and I'm a big fan of slasher media so here is some Michael Myers fan art done in graphite. 000
The Game Detective @gamedetective.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Improving your art can be difficult because sometimes you're like "What should I draw?" And you're worried about drawing something you like because what if you do it badly. 161
The Game Detective @gamedetective.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Live streaming some #horror games tonight. Starting with #WorldofHorror and then moving on to #LookOutside once I am properly warmed up. twitch.tv/gamedetectivetwitch.tvGameDetective - Live on TwitchYou don't have to wait for Halloween for spooky gaming! | Streaming world of horror. 020
The Game Detective @gamedetective.bsky.social · 03/09/2026So I started teaching myself to draw a year ago. Here is a distinction between my #art at the beginning of my journey and something recent. They are a Misty from #Pokemon, which I drew around July of last year, and a RAcast from #PhantasyStar Online, that I drew in July of this year. 070
