I finished the CGs for our free otome / amare game, Sweet Valentine Chocolatier! πŸŽ‰

It's been a while since I tried drawing full illustrations! Though I have improved, there's still a lot to learn.

It'd mean a ton to me if you saw my art in-game! πŸ’–β¬‡οΈ

Hey, Steam devs, do you ever stop getting the giddies whenever a new review for your game drops, or does it keep happening every time it happens? 'Cos I've gotten 20+ reviews now and I get excited every time.

Finally got a sprite pretty much done for "Since We're Fanatics!!!" ( ˢ°ㅁ°) !!

I took the approach of if it ain't broke don't fix it with Cherry here, a lot is similar to their old sprite, other than slightly exaggerating features AND giving Cherry actual hands. XD

Today is my birthday so I drew something to make me smile (Β΄β—‘`)

It would mean so much if you'd share my art and link to my upcoming queer game on Steam today! I have a pipe dream of getting it to 2k wishlists before the launch this summer

I fixed the prologue, kind of. More content to come... eventually! I fixed some stupid mistakes I had made. The music loops correctly. I took care of the typos. I fixed a sprite’s position… or at least I tried. The result is not convincing, but it will work for n...

I have almost fixed the game. More content to come.... some day, perhaps in SuNoFes. Spanish translation will be available soon.

Low-effort hand-drawn perspective grid while an indie dev quickly photobashes and paints over 3D, abstract art for a dark fantasy and horror visual novel. The working canvas has a towering library's gleaming shelves, stacked with thick books, rising endlessly towards a starry night. Numerous other grungy, surreal thumbnails from other parts of the cutscene are on the same canvas, such as smears of saturated red paint and oily paintings of other libraries and prisons.

Meme digital art. Grungy, oily, photobashed books line a towering series of bookshelves. They dissolve as they rise, leading up towards a watercolor night sky in shades of deep blue. A boss health bar from Bloodborne has been pasted onto the picture at about 40% health, for the "Perfectly Normal Library."

A little fun and whimsy while working on assets for my dark fantasy and #horror VN 🩸

after all what is surreal, abstract, grungy, photobashed, totally different visual style if not an opportunity for quick perspective grids and bloodborne health bars πŸ˜‚

I was HOPING to get sprites drawn up for the two current games I'm working on but that was just not in the cards this week due to being busy, so instead I'm posting the last poses of my witches and mentioning that this particular game already has nearly 10k words! :0
