🌙 Senior Character Artist | ex Manticore Games (looking for work!) 🕯️2D & 3D I make lil video games and monster weirdos when I’m not gardening. (they/he/she) ✨ linktr.ee/dracowolfie

it is genuinely so hard to break my own patterns around sharing online. I haven't been posting really for years and now I want to but it feels wrong to share my thoughts and creations!! what happened to my lack of shameee how do people get over themselves??

⚔️🔥CAPTURE QUEST: CHARIZARD🔥⚔️ I have wanted to paint this for over a decade and spent the last year of my life fighting to bring it to the finish line. Please take a look, there is a lot to see

Gargantuan illustration of a charizard redesigned in the style of a monster hunter elder dragon. There are 4 hunters attacking him and their pikapalico is readying a voltorb bomb to throw. There is so much stuff in there, I spent a damn year on this. I'm exhausted.

Imagine Aseprite or another #pixelart program inside Blender? Pixel Perfect Pixel Art drawing and texture painting on top of the model in the 3D viewport and in 2D. Drawing, painting, selection tools, layers, texel density (pixel size) setup and density zones (multiple pixel sizes). #blender3d

I still don't understand the chase for hyperrealistic graphics. Not once have I played a game that aims to look like real life and thought "wow, I feel so much more immersed because of how real this looks". Snappy, responsive controls have 10000x more impact on immersion than graphics ever will imo

The last two days have been a wild time of amazing people dying but I got to hang out with wonderful friends today, and look at lizards among roses so sometimes life just takes and gives I guess

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

Some people might not be aware, but it is entirely possible that without Dolly Parton we wouldn’t have had a COVID vaccine. She partly funded Moderna’s research and gave the largest individual contribution to make it all happen. Just gives you an idea of the kind of person she was.

Sometimes, when someone dies, what helps me is thinking about how wonderful it is that they were even alive in the first place. Dolly was the closest you could get to an American saint. We all loved her.

really is such a difference when i play retro games and they don’t hold my hand and point me in the correct direction at all times and highlight my objectives and give me bullet lists for every single thing. figuring stuff out on your own is so good for the brain even when it’s esoteric and odd

Sharing my art again online (specifically stuff from the last 6 years) has been a weird experience. Part of me still really loves these scribbles I made over the years and wants to share them, and part of me gets stuck on whether I’ve made things “good” enough to bother showing.
