Ever just get a random pic of your pet where you accidentally just got the goofiest face imaginable? Welp, it happened with Cleo, so I shopped the pic into what would look like one of those embarrassing school pictures

Web dev hot take: <strong> was invented by idiots who whined about html dev accessibility, <b> is clearly the superior tag, since you don't have to load the damn HTML file to adequately proofread shit.
Welp, YouTube thinks I'm a bot again, so I guess I'm streaming the entire Halo franchise soundtrack from my NAS @ home while on the bus. (NGL, PlexAMP's UI sucks and I wish I could install a plugin that made it look like WinAMP, because this shit doesn't whip the llama's ass!)
I mean, I could probably make a scene that would be better than just a bunch of FF6-style player sprites (Hard part really is just designing an enemy sprite that would be period-accurate...)

Trying to play catch-up with #Septembit this year, and I don't think restricting myself to this GBC palette is working out too well... #pixelart

It is depressing walking back in on the #pixelart feeds after a while, and we got grifters floating around claiming that what they had generated is pixel art. No, midjourney, chatgpt, and whatever else is on the market atm will NEVER be making pixel art.
@sega-west.bsky.social Hey guys, I just found out about a sonic game I actually wanna try out, but you haven't localized it yet. Mind pushing it somewhere along the chain to re-release SegaSonic The Hedgehog?

Guess who just relearned the thermodynamics of bread? Tried to make a chilli bowl, completely spaced on how effective of an insulator sourdough is, now I got a hot bread bowl with cold chilli
IDGAF if it doesn't make sense normally, this is just outright perfection. All of the data is readable at a glance, you can't make any errors with the order of operations, and you get measurements in both standard systems. Fuck off with your recipe blog, Sharon, this shit is better!
Bits@bitshammer.bsky.social · 2w agoI assume it was ignored because most people don't write recipes in Excel spreadsheets.
Couldn't really get much for useful feedback from my peers so I am just gonna call this one complete... #pixelart #stargate #savestargate www.newgrounds.com/art/view/jam...
Squeezed in a bit more detail, but man, am I sweating over how I am gonna have to figure out how to depict the taps here, not to mention include patrons and wall decor... #pixelart #wips #startrek
JamesTDG (#SaveStargate)@jamestdg.bsky.social · 2w ago#pixelart #WIPs #scifi #startrek Man, this project is BRUTAL right now, I gotta figure out how I am gonna depict the taps on the East side of the room. And congrats to those of you who (silently) figured out what the next project is gonna be, Quark-Beer Tapper!
Got bored while waiting on some feedback for my previous SG piece, made a quick demo to show that SG visually really compatible with the Metal Slug style. The following are sprites edited from existing characters in the series, SG character name on top, source character name on the bottom.
Rest in peace, Comrade Cherdenko, you'll finally be in the one place truly not corrupted by capitalism, the afterlife. (Okay maybe that's a bit too corny, he'd love it though) nypost.com/2026/08/26/u...

Unfun fact: Tapper, among other ancient arcade games, suffer from a case of the mixels. The following is a screenshot from the Moby Games page for Tapper, in its agonizing glory. For some reason, we never really got a smart remaster for this arcade classic.
My current #pixelart #wip This will be a first in a series of reimagining various arcade games reskinned as sci-fi properties. This first one is Stargate (1981) crossed with Stargate SG-1, specifically the Battle of Antarctica. #SaveStargate
There are so many screenshots I'm seeing lately, not just on here, from modded Minecraft runs, and it pains me so much because I want to play those mods, but I really do not want to touch Mojang's product anymore.
Roughly 5 years ago, I got my first paid commission [left], which happened right after I did a high-effort (at the time) work for DeviantArt Secret Santa [right] (Sadly, I didn't save who these were for) Kinda sad I wasn't able to repeat this flash in the pan moment... #pixelart
Never thought recreating the Kanji character '速' (Soku) would end up with a result I feel pretty proud of, but it worked pretty well as an idea for this Ryu Hayabusa skin I am working on in the BG for someone's fan game. #pixelart
This incredibly whiny attitude that AI evangelists have is so pathetic. Always acting like a victim, ohhhh I can't talk about my psychosis-simulators without getting pushback. All we did is so that AI would obliterate the very essence of creativity itself, wahhhh. It genuinely makes me angry.
James Ball@jamesrball.com · 3w agoGonna briefly do an AI take: it used to be possible to have interesting discussions about AI here, and it's got progressively less so. You can't just think AI is bad, or overhyped, you've also got to subscribe to a very particular worst-case scenario about *how* it's bad and how bad it is.
Willow through the lens of the shitty 2003 James Bond lighter camera
My computer's stuck running updates right now, so allow me to illustrate the series of events that led me to discovering this camera using some crude scribbles on my spare sticky notes.
JamesTDG (#SaveStargate)@jamestdg.bsky.social · 3w agoI almost forgot to share what it looked like in its case. Yes, a lighter. The funny thing is that I was going to see how much butane was actually still left in it and was pleasantly surprised by the camera.
So I discovered in my dad's collection a really old 007 branded camera. Took a few random shots and they are so damn blurry. It's so hilariously awful, I love it.
Earlier this year in late July, I was in Vancouver, WA for the Own Your Sh*t event hosted by Louis Rossmann. Towards the end of the event, I handed him a handmade pin of my old ass Fuck Them Boats graphic! Might not be much, but hey, I can officially say my artwork was featured by a major YouTuber!
