billowypillow @nolan192.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Thanks! The idea kind of came out of just how weird giraffes are as animals but ended up turning into its own little thing haha 010
billowypillow @nolan192.bsky.social · 02/07/2026Rhinos affected by Gira use their strengthened muscles, height, and larger horns to fling rivals and would-be predators high into the air. Crocodiles affected by gira move to the trees- climbing with longer arms and prehensile tails to ambush prey from a distance with their elongated necks. 172
billowypillow @nolan192.bsky.social · 02/07/2026In large numbers the gira causes massive bursts of growth, tearing skin and muscle and significantly shortening the host's lifespan. However, in cases where only 1 or 2 Gira attach to a host the relationship becomes almost symbiotic, with the gira bolstering its natural growth beyond normal limits 1102
billowypillow @nolan192.bsky.social · 02/07/2026The Gira is a parasitic plant that grows roots through the nervous system to the brain of its host where it stimulates rapid muscle and bone growth. When the host is large enough, the gira spreads seeds from on high to drift down on other creatures. Its main host is the affe, a slow pudgy little guy 1112
billowypillow @nolan192.bsky.social · 03/03/2026:D I only got into the series on a whim with re4 wii in the past few years, but the gameplay/ formula is just so fun. Lots of scary parts that I can see people not liking, but I enjoy that tension/action a lot, same with dead space 020
billowypillow @nolan192.bsky.social · 24/02/2026Pretty much everything, mainly depends if there's a design I think looks cool. The past few generations less sns, lbg, and hh, but I heard they're pretty good. 010
billowypillow @nolan192.bsky.social · 24/02/2026Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! I do still love the idea for symphony, had a lot of fun with that one haha 110
billowypillow @nolan192.bsky.social · 21/02/2026Seriously, the piano version is gorgeous too. I love how the energy of night/day is inverted as well because that’s when it comes alive. I also love how well cauldros’ theme fits the environment even though it’s hard to listen to lol 110
billowypillow @nolan192.bsky.social · 20/02/2026Xenoblade Chronicles X - Sylvalum. This game still has some of the most gorgeous environments I've ever seen, great mech design, and some of Hiroyuki Sawano's best work. Even if you don't play the game go listen to the soundtrack - Sylvalum, Theme X, Don't Worry(2XDV), Ma-non ship, Oblivia, etc 34718
billowypillow @nolan192.bsky.social · 20/02/2026Thank you, glad you're having fun with it! I actually made a video talking about it here :) youtu.be/XddLYgaPSMUyoutu.beMaking Shatterseal: Monster Hunter Wilds Weapon Design Contest (Design talk)YouTube video by Nolan192 171
billowypillow @nolan192.bsky.social · 03/01/2026Happy new year! I tried animating for the first time in years, was pretty fun. And it's too hard and I never want to do it again 2113
billowypillow @nolan192.bsky.social · 27/12/2025Thank you, I was nervous about how it would come across without words, this is so encouraging! More slice of life fun for the next few, plot to come later 010
billowypillow @nolan192.bsky.social · 26/12/2025Starting a manga, it's called Pilot! Reads right to left 1/3 1114
billowypillow @nolan192.bsky.social · 01/11/2025Thanks! It started as a joke but I got really into it lol 010
billowypillow @nolan192.bsky.social · 27/09/2025it was kind of an accident where i put the eye near the crack, but then i thought it looked cool so i kept it haha 020
billowypillow @nolan192.bsky.social · 27/09/2025Yay thanks! Excited to see the shards in 3d all sparkly and shiny 010
billowypillow @nolan192.bsky.social · 27/09/2025I wouldnt want to model/rig/animate it haha, I feel bad but it’s still very exciting. I was pushing the boundaries of feasible, hope the devs have fun with it. There were tons of entries i thought would make it that didn’t though, and there’s always the expansion contest if you want to try again :D 000
billowypillow @nolan192.bsky.social · 27/09/2025Thanks! I mean cb won in iceborne, there were like 3 in the contest, so some people weren’t going to be satisfied no matter what 000
billowypillow @nolan192.bsky.social · 27/09/2025Heyo it me haha. Im prepared to be blown away, the designs in wilds are so much more creative than world. I designed 2 others and play pretty much every weapon so any type would have been fine with me. But yeah 1 per contest is pretty sparse. There were a lot of designs I was surprised didnt make it 010
billowypillow @nolan192.bsky.social · 27/09/2025Shatterseal won the Monster Hunter Weapon Design contest! Thanks everyone who voted, shoutouts to all the other entries; there were so many great designs To the modelers, animators, vfx, artists, and whoever else works on making it- I hope it isn't too much of a pain, thank you 828678
billowypillow @nolan192.bsky.social · 10/08/2025Yeah I feel like with how impactful the ending is and how great hard mode is I have to go through hard for the other option. It's short/ snappy enough that I actually don't mind replaying, and I usually never replay games. 110
billowypillow @nolan192.bsky.social · 07/06/2025Aw thanks! I do love my little easter eggs. Might make everything take too long though... 020
