Not necessarily a classical horror but definitely a bit of a historical and psychological one, but the tank (2025) has really stuck with me since I watched it

I’ll be doing a giveaway soon to celebrate a wishlist milestone for Night Shift: 1999 too so keep your eyes peeled!!

Oh wow Ive been grinding at getting this skeleton dating sim done for Valentine’s Day i havent even checked bsky in a bit — thank you for 700 followers everyone!!

Here’s some other fun photos (which may or may not be making an appearance in future chapters)

A black and white pixel art drawing of the same photo except zoomed in and simplified

I’ve been going through a lot of old photos since I’ve been trying to back them up and I stumbled across my reference image for the Sydney opera house view in my visual novel … the chimes building you’ll always be famous to me

Here are ~90 photos of weapons, armor, & costumes from the Lord of the Rings films--likely used as reference by the LotR: War in the North dev team. I found these during my data recovery efforts.

Some photos have data loss, but this is still good reference for LotR fans! archive.org/details/lotr...

If there’s space left I’d love to join!! Here are my favourite pieces from the year.

It’s officially been a year since I began making pixel art and started on this journey, and my goal for 2026 is to work on creating more unique illustrations for my visual novel and developing my skills further 🥹💗

You got them all the time 😤😤😤

a description of my visual novel, surrounded by screenshots of characters drawn in a dreamy watercolor style. a poofy haired blonde vampire in a heart motif thong, assless chaps, and fringe bolero glances over his shoulder, winking at you with a rose in his teeth. a free kinetic visual novel dram-com series where you may slip into the platform boots of an already too tall 265-year-old therapist-by-day dom-by-night vampire. a story about the complexities of love, sex, friendship, the consequences of your actions, confronting your own mortality, the fragility of existence on a floating rock in the endless sea of space, and other lighthearted everyday challenges that come with centuries of life experience.

bluesky makes every post i make blow up now EXCEPT for posts about my game, but nevertheless, i will never shut up about it.

if you need a good night inside this holiday season, go read my visual novel, parfum nostalgique.

it's free. you pay with your tears.

Ughhh thank you and I fully agree :/ I imagine in time this entire process is going to get revised because we already have frequent data leaks w/ other services so I can’t imagine they’ll keep this model forever

Absolutely 💔💔 ironically the government is using fomo to pressure people into giving out this information and the fact the head of the committee is an ex-FBI agent gives me 0 comfort in regards to how our data is going to be handled

Thank you 😭 I’m hoping the govt will rectify it eventually once they realise how much of an e-safety concern this is. I did my thesis on data colonisation so I’ve been especially upset with how so much of our personal information is being collected 🙃

I have been using one but bsky won’t let me change my country of origin on my laptop, it only lets me do it on my mobile :/ idk why but it’s like locked my account in Australia despite using one … this social media ban is a total mess lol

For some reason they aren’t letting me verify using my credit card 😭 I’ve tried three times now but it just says my card can’t be used </3

PSA I can see I have notifications in my messages but I am in Australia and I am Nawt giving my full government ID to verify my age so I can access DMs so if you want to message me, please reply to this and I’ll give you my discord handle

Oh wait that’s such a smart idea 📝 that’ll be easier to cut out all the dicking around i do too lmao thank you!!

Tysm!!

I think you’re probably right 🤔 I’m a bit concerned about zooming in and out on my canvas though since I do it a loooot but I’m sure there’s a workaround for that

Quick question: does anyone have any recommendations for recording speed paints? I usually do my sketching in a physical sketchbook before cleaning it up in csp & finishing it up in aseprite and I’m wondering what would be the best way to film the process?
