Had a rough month so I haven't kept up with posting. Here's a mishmash of random stuff I drew in March. There's: a coat of arms for an RP character's father, some practice sketches, and a LuckyShipping sketch I did for an art game on a forum.

Squirtle splashes water on an indignant Charmander from an inflatable pool. Bulbasaur is just chilling in the pool.

Woah it's the 30th anniversary of Pokémon! I put together this little drawing for an art event Bulbagarden's doing, and it was too cute not to share!

An illustration of Green(f) from Pokéspe in a Raichu costume, an homage to her original Pikachu costume

Had a blast drawing this commission of Green(f) in a Raichu costume! I really 🧡 Green (best girl), and it's a great homage to her Corocoro Pikachu costume!

BTW, my commissions are still open! ko-fi.com/pilosophos/c...

I've been playing Life Is Strange recently, and the main character is so cute I wanted to sketch her

my inane thoughts on the game so far: pilosophos.com/art/maxine

Green(f) in a cheerleader costume

Green cheers you on at the Pokémon League!!! I originally sketched this for Halloween as part of a collage where she contemplates different costumes, but life stuff got in the way.

The Famicom: more than just a game console | Pilosophos' Circle An exploration of when game consoles can be used for so much more

Did you know the NES (called the Famicom in Japan) was originally conceived of as a general-purpose computer?

I wrote an article about what the console could do, from programming in BASIC to buying stocks on the Famicom Network!

みんとちゃん、鍵認証で安全にログインしたい［公開鍵認証］ まんがで学べるLinuxコマンド操作とシェルスクリプト。システム管理部門の新入社員・利奈みんとちゃんと、先輩社員・大野桜子さんのやり取りを通して、 現場ですぐに役立つ・長く使える情報を解説します。今回は、サーバーにsshでログインできないミントちゃんが、先輩から鍵認証の方法を教わります。

PANEL 1 Ohno-senpai: "The private key and public key are like a chick and an egg that are born at the same time. These two keys (the keypair) have some strange properties." PANEL 2 Ohno-senpai: "When you give Private Key-kun some data..." PANEL 3 Mint-chan: "Mm..? Something's happening..?" PANEL 4 Mint-chan: "Dowa! Something came out!" Callout: [The original data that you gave it is returned as-is.] Ohno-senpai: "Just like that, you get a very small piece of data. This is called a digital signature."

So that's how digital signatures are made...

If Game Freak hires me, the first thing I'll add is Unicode compliance for Unown What follows is a collection of Unown for various Unicode Characters: The digit six, Latin small ligature OE, Egyptian hieroglyph Eye of Horus, Top half flailing robot frame-2, the asterisk, and the asterism.

When it says "managed a hedge fund" on my resumé, what I really mean is I started saving up by offering to trim my neighbors' hedges

Valentina holds a graduated cylinder and an Up Ramen™ while being chased by her Totodile, Kyle. Prof. Ivy and one of her lab assistants look on from the background.

Here's Valentina, my character in the Pokémon TTRPG game my friend was running! Before embarking on a summer study abroad, she was working in Prof. Ivy's lab as a PhD student.

Put me down for Misty! Surprised she's not been claimed yet! I'd prefer my artist link to be pilosophos.com

I know witch season is over, but I was commissioned once more for Crys in a witch costume! What outfits would you want to see her in next?

also: I wrote more about the drawing process at pilosophos.com/art/crys-witch-2!

A faerie struggles with some RAM in her PC

here's a wee little sketch while I'm working on some other pieces (including a comm!)

new fear unlocked: how do I know that the QR code that I have to scan to order and pay at the restaurant isn't a phishing site placed by another patron?

Drawing of Camille in a dark overcoat with a kind of mantle. Her robot arm is in prominent display.

Drew a more black trenchcoat-esque alt costume for my Shadowrun character, Camille. What do you think of the digital pencil? I used to do everything in pencil before I had a tablet. Tablet will never feel quite the same, but it does the job.

Given how popular Dungeons and Dragons is, I was surprised by my friends' lukewarm reception to my homebrew systems, Dungeons xor Dragons, Dungeons nor Dragons, and Dungeons imply Dragons.

A drawing of Crystal from Pokéspe in a witch hat, dress, high heeled boots, and holding a broom. A full moon shines brightly in the background, and a little Drifloon floats by.

Halloween season is upon us, and someone commissioned Crystal from Pokéspe in a witch costume! As a Pokéspe fan, I really enjoyed drawing this. Thanks for supporting me!

A pixel art chibi of Camille

Here's a little chibi pixel art version of my Shadowrun character, Camille. This was also for an art challenge on Bulbagarden, to try a style you're not used to.

A scan of the American box art of Donkey Kong Jr. Math for the NES

There's a game called "Donkey Kong Jr. Math" that teaches you arithmetic skills, and they really should have made more.

Imagine how great "Donkey Kong Jr. Stats" and "Donkey Kong Jr. Real Analysis" would be.

drew my Shadowrun character in a couple different styles for an art challenge, and thought the dichotomy of the very cartoony versus the less cartoony style would make for a fun little comparison between SR's BT and PM playstyles.

A drawing of a faerie sitting on a mini PC with a robot dog next to her. In the background, a view of the sky from a city street, and a computer monitor. The text reads, "Byte-sized: fairy tales for a digital age"

For this piece I added a background and it ended up looking like a book cover. In the past I did want to write a collection of magical cyberpunk stories, but all I ended up finishing was North Downtown Station pilosophos.com/writing/nort...

A partial screengrab of The IT Crowd, Series 3 Episode 5, at 9m 36s. Roy is bopping his head with an earbud in, plugged into some kind of tablet with a large-pixel grid on the back, visualizing the music.

does anyone know what device Roy is using to listen to music on here #itcrowd #whatisthis

here's a little practice thing I drew #digitalart #art

Shadowrun-inspired sketch of a troll using magic as he runs toward the viewer to animate a stone statue of a bridge troll underneath a bridge. A police drone and some cops are in pursuit, coming from the background. Graffiti'd to the side of the bridge, it reads "DEFUND LONE STAR"

Sketch of a lady posing against a wall with baggy pants and a hoop earring. She's also wearing kind of a cross between a tank top and a leotard?

Sketch of a lady with a knife, looking scary

haven't posted in a while since I got a new day job, so here's some sketches. lately, it's been hard to get me-time where I *also* want to do art.

should I be worried about the skeleton that fell out of the tree on my Animal Crossing island when I shook it?

is this what happens when Copper and Booker aren't around?

I took glass from a scanner bed and had it cut to use as a glass bed for my 3d printer, and its first print ever worked great! no more stupid bed leveling insanity for me!

A drawing of Mia Fey from Ace Attorney in a bunnysuit and open suit jacket. Her suit jacket trails behind her in a way that is unbelievably cool. Surrounding her are reaction shots of, from left to right: - The Blue Badger, looking the same as always - Phoenix Wright, with tiger ears, mouth agape, and awooga eyes - Lana Skye, with bear ears and biting her lower lip - Larry Butz, with dog ears and a thumbs up - Maya Fey, with mouse ears and embarrassed about her chest

apparently Mia's attraction to Lana Skye (which Ema assures us is an "intellectual attraction") is just a localization thing, not that it should stop any intellectshippers
