The fun thing about making your own little interstitials for a stream is that you can just run them for your own enjoyment Let me tell you, I don't know what Gekisou Sentai Car Rangers is, but I could tell you instantly this was playing the music for Gekisou Sentai Car Rangers

The Sound Test overlay for streams. Four games are listed including Time Slip, Ken Griffey Jr. Winning Run, Bonanza Brothers, and Gekisou Sentai Car Rangers.

Reaching the end of the road for rebuilding the Gift Shop in Godot, there's an absurd amount under the hood with Twitch chat controls and a whole queue system for events and incoming Twitch alerts to allow them to interrupt or prevent overlap as needed #Art #DigitalArt #Godot

Bun-E03 running the Gift Shop, saying "Lamp oil? Rope? Bombs? You want it? It's yours, my friend! ... as long as you have enough carroberries." A selection of items for sale are to the viewer's right, while Bun-E03 is in the center and various other items are on the left.

Bun-E03 saying "That's Boomie! He's playing Nintendo Groove by kawashin". A hand-shaped cursor is pointing to the colorful boombox on the table.

A red cursor is highlighting a Dreamcast, while the title under Bun-E03 says "Dreamer". Her text reads "This little guy makes a lot of noise, which probably means it's thinking extra hard. I wonder what it dreams about?"

A few items have been sold while the cursor now points to an item described as "Novelty-sized Weapon". Bun-E03 has a mischevious look and is saying "Don't give me a reason to use it."

Today's stream progress, hand hurting so I needed to cut early. It's been forever since I've done a character collage like this so it's been slow going but very rewarding #Art #DigitalArt #WIP

A collage of characters striking different poses including Nova front and center in a cropped shirt and cutoff shorts, two different versions of Millenia to either side of her in school uniforms, Amanda in the upper right in a sailor-style uniform, Wren in her waitress gear to Nova's upper left, and Robin in a sweater and jeans to the lower left of Wren. Also an upside-down Hero is there in the lower left corner.

SYS-A is both the Company Computer Gal at Superfuture Technolabs, and also the mainframe computer. It's complicated. Pros: She knows exactly how to fix it. Cons: She knows exactly how you broke it. #Art #DigitalArt #RetroHeartArt

Digital art of SYS-A, an android woman with vibrant magenta and yellow hair, violet and blue eyes, and a layered outfit made out of a brown cropped jacket with angled shoulder pads, a black dress shirt with a translucent cyan tie, and a tall t-shirt in addition to white and black stockings with black heels. A pair of ribbons around her temples and the bottom of her tied hair give her a vaguely mouse-like look.

Verse is fashionably late to summer (because I kept forgetting to post this for 2 weeks) #Art #DigitalArt #RetroHeartArt

Digital art with halftone of Verse, a succubus, in a black bikini and a t-shirt cropped above her chest with "THIS SIDE UP" written on it. She's laying on her side while turned towards the viewer with a smile, her wings stretched out and her tail making a heart shape. A simple beach background is framed behind her.

Good progress from today's stream. Definitely running low on energy and my brain shut off trying to get her boots looking right, so I'll fix those and her tail another time (I don't think her boots or end of her tail will show up as part of the stream overlay anyways)

Terse, aloof, and rarely willing to come out of her shell, NEK-01 can be friendly when she wants to. The problem is "when she wants to" is basically never. #Art #DigitalArt #RetroHeartArt

A cat-themed android with orange-red hair, green eyes, and a form-fitting suit made up of various panels in shades of red, yellow, and white. She has one hand held backwards just above shoulder height and the other on her hip, looking off to the side with disinterest. The over-knee boot parts of her outfit have cat features that seem independent of her own expression.

Another relatively simple bust sketch. You don't see much of this version of Millenia since it's only via flashbacks that happen before the catalyst of her story and her appearance changes. #Art #DigitalArt #WIP

Work in progress sketch of a demon woman looking up and to her side at the viewer in a loose button-down shirt, knit vest, and skirt. Her tail is behind her but somewhat out of frame because I couldn't be bothered to change the canvas size at this point.

Been working on rebuilding the Super Quiz in Godot off-stream. It's been a good way of learning some basics of building a 3D scene. At the point where I need to sit down and decide how to store all the questions and answers in a file, but it's getting there.

Bun-E03's 19XX Super Quiz! featuring Bun-E03 dressed as a teacher. The question itself is long and rambling, while the answers are all joke names including "Sonic the Hedge Fund" and "Knuckles the Enchilada".
