An illustration of Mui from Edifice standing on a stone windowsill, seemingly in darkness except for the glow of her yellow eyes. She is topless and holding the scabbard of her sword, with her left arm hiding her chest. She is still wearing her white cloak around her waist and her legs are crossed in front of her. A red damaged curtain is falling over the window in the top right of the painting. Behind her, you can see simple buildings bathed in sunlight in front of a blue sky, peaking through fluffy white clouds.
Finished this piece for Edifice! I dunno what I'll use this for but I just wanted to paint and draw Mui in a spooky way so uuuuh...yeah, here we go!
Had a fun with the colors on this one. Just throwing green in a bunch of spaces can give such interesting hues

We have just released our demo of In Full Bloom!
A weird tamagotchi-like where you must keep the creature alive. Feed it and watch it grow,
and grow,
and grow.
There is only one way.

When diving under the ice, your submarine can get quite chilly, so I added a breath effect to make it more noticeable.

Would love your feedback sounds I added.
For diving I its a hum with some valve clanking.
For the snorkel its a mechanical noise accelerating and decelerating.
And for the pumps, some motor sound.

The engine minigame is now almost finished 🎉.
Progress is very slow lately, I'm struggling with some mental stuff and on top, the project is also in "that phase" where it just takes so much ⚡ to keep pushing...

A picture of Bob the owl, the shopkeep from Helvetii returning in Beach Slap. Now in glorious low poly 3D (and sporting a nice shirt)
Original concept of Bob in Helvetii (with his green coat and talons holding some fat gold coins)
Bob returns, as grumpy as ever, and in the THIRD DIMENSION. He'll also still have his little shop in Beach Slap. No vacations for him.

The mouth creature from the game "In Full Bloom" in a meme edit using emojis. It features motion-blurred stars around the creature, an emoji hand holding a phone that displays a tiktok logo graphic, as well as a second hand that is a cut-out photo of a real hand in a glam-pose and sports long, pink nails.
I recently made this for a discord post and I just want you all to see it as well.
Context is optional and given only on request.
