I do have a video of me in a makeshift Faust bag doing a stiff walk cycle for ref. in an animation class. My prof. chided me for obscuring my face despite no facial anim. req.'s. Also, these:

Decreed as the King of the North, #JonSnow sought to guard his realm from the threat beyond the Wall. Along his loyal direwolf, Ghost, he turned north and took the first step that would lead him to another stage of history. #SCVI #SC6 #SoulcaliburVI #Soulcalibur #GoT #GameofThrones #ASOIAF #HBO #FGC

Jon Snow from Game of Thrones wielding his sword, Longclaw. His white direwolf, Ghost, strides along his left side. A seal brandishing the Stark Direwolf herald is raised behind them.

A mock-up trailer screen for Soulcalibur VI featuring Jon Snow from Game of Thrones as a guest fighter. This screen differs from the rest of my character line-up for featuring a font reminescent of the Game of Thrones title font, snow fall, & frost aligning the screen edges.

GET READY TO ROCK! 🤘 Turn up the heat with #Cadence & #RiftOfTheNecroDancer as they collide with the world of #GuiltyGearStrive. Brace yourself to face off against 9 epic metal Rifts off the #GGST OST. 🔥 (This is NOT OFFICIAL. Official communications are only by @braceyourselfgames.com.) #fgc #indie

[ DELAYED ] Due to personal extenuating circumstances, I'm unable to premiere my project on my original Dec. 2025 deadline. Instead, this'll be slated no later than late Spring 2026. If you've been looking fwd. to this, please hold out for just a little longer. #ComingSoon #wip #workinprogress

And FYI, I'm not in pitch gloom thanks to my reclaimed stained glass lantern I bought from a secondhand store in Orlando. Lighting the scented candle is a nightly routine. What does Starry Moonlight smell like? 🌚

A hexagonal lantern with stained glass windows alight with the orange glow of a candle inside. A shortwave radio & white noise machine flank it from each side.

BZZZZT! You couldn't even manage that one! Enough of your vagarities: I'm not talking about the general sense. All I asked was if you delegate the expression of your soul to a fucking machine! But since you can't manage that, FAFO! Keep prattling away about your Tween Wave - it gets me randy.

Please understand, the premiere of my upcoming longform art project will now take place Q4 2025 - no later than Christmas week. (If everything goes right & nothing unexpected happens w/ life, well ahead of that.) Thank you for your patience. Here's a preview. #ComingSoon #wip #workinprogress

Tired of posting WIPs w/o having to bake in rendered obscuration? Good news - with the Gadsden snake, now you can! I've repurposed this timeless American icon not only into a schnazzy graphic pastiche, but a tileable version too. Just scale down opacity to desired effect & you're good to go! #FuckAI

Woah, looks like I've stepped on top of the nest now!

Her fortunes turn bright, using her prize money from "Cold-Blooded Chefs of Illyria" to expand her once humble rice stall into "Jam-Sum" franchises. Now she tours streets the world over, serving up her 'battle cuisine'! What could go wrong? #JamKuradoberi is ready to rock! #GuiltyGearStrive #GGST

Jam Kuradoberi striking a cocky jeer while doing a kung fu stance. She retains her classic outfit with some minor accouterments: the 'rice bundles' have been clarified as lucky rabbit's feet, black floral stockings with golden inlays, a gong (or wok?) fills the void of her hair loop - fastened by 3 silk bands, each bearing a stylized Chinese symbol representing "double happiness".

A mock-up of a trailer title announcing Jam as an additional playable character in Guilty Gear -STRIVE-.

Hiya! Here's a smattering of what I do. My primary gimmick involved iterating on official art from some of my favorite games, then realizing them in new ways to imagine them as legit as possible. I've even got some original-ish works down the pipe coming soon! (Hint: check my wall for them.)

Having befriended an old grudge, having become a conduit for all manner of spirits, he seeks the truth of the malady that once disparaged his being. Fear becomes skepticism. If not the Backyard, where is this destination for which he's become a door? #Zappa is ready to rock! #GuiltyGearStrive #GGST

Passion Gunshy - パッション・ガンシー ᡕᠵデ气亠 Turned an obscure, insular, one-off stream joke into a #manga cover. Thanks @fredrikknudsen.bsky.social #DownTheRabbitHole! (And no, it'll never be Gun-shee to me.) #mangaart #90sanime #retro #ink #traditional #gungirl #gunsngirls

A young woman in combat fatigues with a bandaged eyepatch craddles a rifle in her arms, resting the stock over her sling-cast arm. Japanese kanji & hirigana scrolls along the left space. Aside the right of the gun, her body shatters into the wind with several bullet holes.
