Made a new video analyzing the two different versions of Ema Skye's theme in Rise From The Ashes and Apollo Justice, and how each one fits the two very different versions of the character: www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_hb...

Scorsese's storyboards for Taxi Driver were a big inspiration for me, a poor artist, to feel confident drawing ideas to share with our illustrators for DI. I can't understand why so much of the older generation of artists are swayed by this crap when they already had it all figured out.

I remember when I was first getting into music, I heard The Rolling Stones "Waiting On A Friend" and thought the saxophone on it was the most beautiful thing I'd heard in my life. When I got into jazz later, I learned why: it was Sonny Rollins. One of the greatest musicians to ever live. RIP.

I went so hard on drawing practice for a month that I may have burned myself out a bit, but I've definitely felt improvements. This kind of portrait painting would have been unthinkable to me a year ago. Long way to go to get to confident figure drawing, but I'm having more fun learning than ever 👍

The main problem with a Star Fox 64 remake is that it will be impossible for me to accept any new writing or voice acting, as the original Star Fox 64 genuinely has the greatest English voice acting in the history of video games.

Our game Detective Instinct is on sale on Steam for the next few weeks, so I thought I'd try to draw Emma to commemorate the occasion. Feels weird drawing fanart of your own character 😅

In my recent FF7 video, I mentioned how when I first got the game, I played it on my PS2. I've gotten numerous comments like this. Do people actually not know the PS2 was backwards compatible? How is that possible 😭

The gameplay style of ADVs like Famicom Detective Club is fascinating, and when Emio released, we did a deep dive explaining why FDC's systems are so special. With Bsky's new thread tool, let's bring it back! Here's what makes FDC's gameplay so compelling, and unique from visual novels: 🧵 #gamedev
