Also, it's time to SUMMON DOLPHIN MAN from SlashCO, he'll be needed to fight the many horrors of Ecco. LOL!

Also FUCK THOSE DAMN CRABS THAT JUST JUMP OUT AT YOU FROM OFF SCREEN IN BOTH THE FIRST ECCO AND TIDES OF TIME JUST HASJGHNEJSGHNSJEGH ROFL

This ties into my own otherkin feelings. I have a connection to the ocean, to tropical places, to beaches, that seems ingrained in my soul. Maybe I was an ocean dragon, with large fins on my back instead of wings. Maybe I relaxed on beaches, and had to hide from worse, terrifying things in the sea.

I never beat this game by the way. Tides of Time. Beating it would give me some closure, that's for sure. I really don't want to see the Vortex Queen larva thing that emerges from her corpse after you defeat her it's the most unsettling fucking thing in existence. LOL

A very difficult game too. I remember playing Tides of Time with my sister back in the early 2010s, I think we were either both taking turns trying to beat it, or she was watching me. I was playing on our original Sega Genesis, writing down passwords. That is a memory I will never forget.

Ecco: The Tides of Time is also full of unsettling W O R M creatures. Although there is one in the first game in Atlantis, if I remember a cool video about the game. Just way too many things move in unsettling ways, jump out at you, grab you, and then there's Medusa the giant floating jellyfish. XD

Fuck, I'm still scared out of my mind thinking about Tides of Time. Just, the fact you can't see very far ahead helps with the fear factor. And then all you have is your echo location that gives you a minimap... terrifying enemies are displayed as vague icons off in the distance. It is paused.

These games are games that need remakes. They are flawed, but beautiful and iconic. There is also a THIRD game announcement, supposedly. And that is just kind of exciting to me. The thing is, did they improve the things that needed to be improved? I sure hope so. XD

Ecco The Dolphin Something stirs beneath the surface. Are you ready to dive in?

If you go to EccotheDolphin.com, you can see a timer in the bottom left corner. We are very close to something. I heard it was a remake of the first two games. Ecco the Dolphin, and Ecco: The Tides of Time. Tides of Time was the formative game that gave me thalassaphobia. XD

Oh yeah, before I got to bed, there is literally 27 hours until some major Ecco the Dolphin announcement. I'm still unsure why I care as much as I do, but I realize that those games were formative for me. It's nice to play as something else other than a human anyway, and it's also fucking scary.

Just, some fat liberation activist I am. I'm too scared to stand up for myself about my body. Well, at least I said I was exercising via weight lifting and a desk cycle thingy. That's the best I can do to try to prove that I am trying to be healthier despite my weight being "bad".

I was sadly unable to stand up to even this very nice doctor, especially when the nurse was so wonderful and fun to talk to. Probably the nicest doctor and nurse I've ever had. Really nice ladies, quite understanding, and very sweet about my mental health.

Now, I have options when it comes to my diet. I don't have to give up on EVERYTHING, it's probably the snacks that have to go, and be replaced with more "healthy" options. But I still love being fat and don't want to lose too much weight if I can help it. Sigh.

Well, it's okay. I have been doing more exercises lately. Weight lifting 100 to 300 reps, desk cycle with various intensity settings for 10 minutes straight, and walking outside sometimes. Just. I'm really trying here. My diet is just the problem, I suppose.

I'm still a feedee. I want to get fatter. But I understand that reality is harsh. I need to focus on my health first before I even think about getting fatter in some way. Also, I can't really do that in my living situation anyway. I probably never will be able to unless I live with someone else.

My blood pressure isn't that great. It's 135/87. I don't think that's too good. Also my cholesterol is probably not good either. I could try to cut back on the snacks... I do have a bit of an overeating problem there. It's not like I can gain any weight anyway, I'm stuck at 320 lbs.

Now, this new doctor is quite nice. But it sort of feels like the nurse does more than the doctor. It's quite strange. The doctor seems to do jack shit, it's very odd. Well, whatever. The appointment went off without a hitch, and I managed to relax.

My new doctor is very kind and understanding. She did ask if I would like a Nutritionist... that's the second time a doctor has asked me that, it is extremely insulting. I know they do that as a stupid way to not say anything fatphobic directly. My prior doctor did that.

Of course, it always upsets me how every time I go to a doctor, the resulting After Visit Summary has to say "Obesity, Class 3", or "Morbid Obesity". 320 lbs. is morbid obesity. Okay. You know body diversity is fucked because this means even being slightly chubby is possibly "obese".

LOL, what Low Res is saying here is probably going to unfortunately become more increasingly true with me. As I draw pretty safe art for my game. My game IS tagged as "Adult" just to be safe, for now. The thicc dragons are juicy, that's for sure, and probably not too "SFW" to some. XD

I lure cool artists into following me with normal and respectable art, but suddenly I will drop my niche fetish art on your timeline like a live grenade without warning. I am sorry for this

This is another one of those songs I need to study to learn how to make great game music. The melody is just so fucking good. May it be the version found in the Final Mix version or this version here from the classic PS2 game. Sinister Sundown is definitely an all-time great battle theme. <3

Kingdom Hearts Ⅱ OST - Sinister Sundown YouTube video by OST Centre

The music for this piece is SINISTER SUNDOWN from Kingdom Hearts 2!! One of the BEST battle themes in gaming! This is very fitting for this scenario where Seph has to escape the mine, and considering she is a plasma element dragon, the name "sundown" makes sense. youtu.be/uwEdvkoczxo?...

The hero, in my game, emerges from a strange crystal egg that fell from the sky, crashing into a mine. She must esca- "The earth. It generates untold riches for the most intrepid beings. Some abuse that wealth, a kind of hierarchy of sorts. A hierarchy made from ego and arbitrary standards, fabricated from an individual mind. That very mind then claims that its body is the most deserving of these riches of the earth, these geological wonders. There is no shame in taking from the deep places of the world, the sparkling things that glimmer. What matters is what you do with it, Seph. Wear it on your graceful form, like your kind often adores to do."

Here is the concept art for "The Mine" by itself! FireHeart Saga feels official, it's kind of strange and insanely motivating. I've never felt this way before, and this creatively fulfilled. It's rare for me to even do "backgrounds" like this, but I guess I needed a goal besides just "making money".

FireHeart Saga is under development! So much goes into a game. It's not something I ever have done before in my life. I've been a NSFW digital artist in the furry community for a few decades now, and I plan on still doing it. Heck, I pla...

Designing Concepts, FireHeart Style: The Mine As this is my first time making a game, I've never done concept art before. As a digital artist, I also rarely do detailed backgrounds. So this has been a challenging affair for me, but I've basically...

I love your art! It kind of drives me bonkers as a lover of BIG, fat, curvy girls, being cool while also being BWOMPY. A sort of perfect balance between NSFW and SFW, which I find more attractive than just straight up NSFW sometimes. The color choices and shape language here is just magnificent!
