A beloved classic reimagined

Four labelled panels.
The first panel is labelled "Skull Panda", and depicts a drawing of Skull Panda.
The second panel is labelled "Skull Panda 2", and is the same drawing as the first panel, with a scarf added.
The third panel is labelled "Skull Panda Remastered", and is the same drawing as the first panel, but with extreme lighting applied to it.
The fourth panel is labelled "Skull Panda remake". It depicts Skull Panda in an alarming detailed style, with a realistic skull head and a human body and clothes, standing in a detailed grassy field in front of a photo background with a rainbow.

So many months back I made this #furry model for Counter-Strike, but ive now made a #vrchat variant with some detail upgrades such as extra eye, hands & face details with rigging. Some screenshots in my own #goldsrc themed world "GUS GAS". #vrc #lowpoly

On September 21, 2017, Half-Life: CAGED was released! "The mod was made by Cayle George, an ex-Valve employee who previously worked on Team Fortress 2 and Portal 2."

In 1996, Eric W. Schwartz (@ericwschwartz.bsky.social) debuted his webcomic "Sabrina Online". The series grew alongside the internet itself, and certainly influenced several artists around the world. In its 30 years, I'd like to thank Eric for sharing his great talent & humor with us! 🎂🦨

OMG. 29 years ago I put an Easter egg in Duke Nukem 3D Mac, that replaced two of the in-game posters with pictures of a couple plush animals I had. I never told anyone other than my wife about the code (DNGLENDA) and completely forgot I did this. 1/2

So had a poll on which Xenonauts airframe to be made into an aeromorph, this was suppose to be just a single piece but when it comes to background rendering I got "a bit" carried away suffice to say it looked better this way. Anyway the X-55 Phantom UFO interceptor cover photo turned aero, yeah.

Totally optional detail I spent way too much time in the WIP #counterstrike map; was the interior of this pizza oven which has steam effect, heat effect, led flicker, and bubbly-motion cooking effect on the models. Lighting is still being worked on. #goldsrc #gamedev #lowpoly

you heard that right. pressure sensitive mouse❗❗ absolute godsend to sickos like me who prefer painting with a mouse, i only ever really use a tablet because a) it's pressure sensitive, b) a tablet might be better when i don't have enough room/proper surface to mouse on (bed, travel, etc)
