pikat @pikat.io · 17/09/2026i finished ashlands! got really lucky and the boss and everything was needed was really close to the base mistlands, on the other hand, was a slogfest of blindly running through the fog looking for materials and dungeons and failing because nobody knew there were sub biomes at the time 100
pikat @pikat.io · 17/09/2026tried valheim, accidentally got sucked into the game, tried to finish it before fire emblem came out failed, do not recommend this 124407
pikat @pikat.io · 09/09/2026oh, well, yes, i consider that something very separate from the artists working on the game 020
pikat @pikat.io · 09/09/2026i just genuinely think that most things are pretty great. just because they don't line up with my personal preferences, i don't think they're horrible. in fact i prefer that they don't. 110
pikat @pikat.io · 09/09/2026i don't think it's that, actually. i genuinely appreciate stuff that looks different and "weird", and not just because i'm trying to be "nice" to the artist. it's purely selfish! 020
pikat @pikat.io · 08/09/2026yep! i actually like it more because it doesnt line up perfectly with my preferences, and is a little weird. i wonder if its because of the recent deluge of glossy, generically appealing genAI stuff. i appreciate a little funkiness a lot more now 190
pikat @pikat.io · 08/09/2026it looks kind of unexpected and definitely not what i would have chosen, therefore i am surprised and delighted! 140
pikat @pikat.io · 08/09/2026and who knows, maybe something that seems excessive or over-the-top today is what becomes trendy tomorrow. art and media would be a lot more boring if everyone chose to play it safe. 0150
pikat @pikat.io · 08/09/2026online discourse about media cant get pretty boring because i think a lot of people don't distinguish between preferences and "objectively bad" design. for example, i had the worst time ever playing silksong. but obviously its a really good game??? 032
pikat @pikat.io · 08/09/2026luckily for me, ive always been this way, so it means i get to enjoy basically everything i touch 0401
pikat @pikat.io · 08/09/2026yeah! thats exactly it!! i love being surprised, i love seeing people pushing a lil against what's considered good and appealing. 020
pikat @pikat.io · 08/09/2026i find it hard to explain it, but, i actually like slight uncanniness or deviations from "good" art direction and design. its so interesting and unexpected! 221
pikat @pikat.io · 08/09/2026realism? great! stylised? also great! slightly weird proportions? im down! wacky character designs? im in! complicated anime gacha girl? ok i actually liked that a lot at first but im a bit overexposed to that one 537311
pikat @pikat.io · 08/09/2026im basically the ideal consumer from a video game company's perspective lol 43574
pikat @pikat.io · 08/09/2026when video game art direction and graphics discussion up i get the sense i got low standards bc im pretty much delighted by nearly everything i particularly like it when it doesnt quite line up with my own personal preferences. its like, "oh! so this is what you wanted to show me!" and its neat 22101192
pikat @pikat.io · 07/09/2026it looks pretty but once you need to change a bunch of code or add something to a line i feel like it's not very easy to maintain... personally i almost never write comments lol 210
pikat @pikat.io · 07/09/2026got my gold youtube play button but idk what to do with it other than shove it in a storage box 374894

I borrowed Bunegg for my 2nd digital drawing, and I’ve learned a lot while making this one, so please give my thanks to Bunegg. :D This is my OC, Tiny Fox. :D PS. Your videos helped me a ton too, so thank you for that! 219914

pikat @pikat.io · 03/09/2026ive been doing them all spread out over the last couple of months or so, but i guess i need to spread them out even more 130
pikat @pikat.io · 03/09/2026the reason i can never be a professional artist is i accepted only 5 commissions and already need a break 2264316
pikat @pikat.io · 02/09/2026i agree. i dont care about the other veggies. tell me about the peaches. what if i become a peach 050
pikat @pikat.io · 02/09/2026im eating these REALLY BIG chinese water honey peaches so its probably not very good for me 270
pikat @pikat.io · 02/09/2026how many peaches can i eat a day before it's too much fructose and its unhealthy i have this habit of fixating on One Food 263726
