WORKING UPDATE - Artistic Pixels 305 & Pixelwarps! This has been quite a bit of time coming as I've had to navigate how I work the @pixelwarps.bsky.social side of the business with clients I've had for 1-2 decades+. I recently had to fire some clients due to the amount of money they owed me ($24K+)

⚡️DEBUTING at EVO and ANIME EXPO 2026⚡️ I'm momentarily coming up for air to post the new Space Maria poster illustration for 2026! Now back to my endless crunch and all nighters that I've been on for months now... #SpaceMaria

Bit of a hiatus, but work continues on my next port, it's coming along nicely, and it does things very differently from other games I've ported so it's been a fun learning experience. Here's the current progress for it, enjoy!

Happy Mario Day! Safe to say Mario has been in my gaming faves since the launch of the NES. Every new game is almost or is a day one purchase. To this day they remain some of my face titles to just fire up and play from the OG Super Mario Bros all the way up to the newest Wonder. #MAR10Day

The artwork of Minami Taiheiyou Adventure used on the cover of the #NEC #PC88 release as well as for advertising. Still a bit cropped on all sides. Removed logos/text, applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch process. No clue on the artist, any info let me know!

Minami Taiheiyou Adventure clean artwork used on the cover of the NEC PC-88 release as well as for advertising. Image depicts a man holding a boat paddle, standing in front of a massive stone doorway intricately carved with a demonic motif with claws and large horned statues  on both sides. On top a giant octopus can be seen with his tentacles swaying around, one of them being bitten by a giant dark lizard like creature. Some lightning bolts can be seen further back up top.
