Multimedia and multi-fandom content creator who is currently aiding the Wonder Boy game series during its renaissance era. Mostly SFW, sometimes NSFW! Deviant Art: https://www.deviantart.com/xbuster-zero

Just a warning to those who watch my account and are unaware, as of 2025, I decided to dive more into the adult/NSFW side of art since this is what artists have been doing to increase IP visibility for generations. SFW is great and all, but it just doesn't do the job in this case. That's all.

Anti-AI messages that were crafted recently. Uninspired AI-generation fans and "creators" have invaded and infected the artist space like a virus, making it into a murky, chaotic, confusing and unhealthy one. Use and spread these far and wide to fight back! 🚫🤖

Been playing a lot of Mystery Dungeon lately. I've been enjoying myself but damn if that Food system doesn't feel just a little arbitrary against your survivability some delves.

A two panel comic featuring Book from the arcade game Wonderboy in Monster Land, part of the Monster World series.  On the top panel Book, wearing his initial outfit of a headband and cloth diaper, is talking to someone off-panel asking "Look, I'm super happy you chose to put me  into the new Mystery Dungeon game, but can we do away with the whole "Food" system?", to which the other person is replying "Don't worry, we got something figured out, just for you!"

The second panel is a faux screen shot of a Mystery Dungeon game.  Book is standing in the middle with an annoyed look on his face, another pixelated comic speech bubble shows him shouting "Oh come ON!!".  Next to him is an opened inventory window showing various items including a sword and two potions, as well as a couple of Diaper items.  The HUD includes stats such as his current Hit Points, his current floor, and the free capacity of his current diaper.

Haven't posted much about gamedev for a while because, well, there was just nothing to show... Welp, here's something! At the moment it's little more than a graphics showcase, as I'm having to re-do this basically from scratch to accommodate for the VASTLY Improved new GB Studio version.

The creator of this fangame has also attacked the Wonder Boy community for rightfully calling them out, blocking anyone who calls them out directly and encouraging defenders to harass members of the community.

Don't download this. This Wonder Boy fangame was illegally sold for money and uses AI-generated and plagiarised assets. Even other communities that make fangames, like the Sonic community, know not to profit off of IPs like that.

Mitchy and I lived in the same house. I was able to save a handful of things including my laptop, but pretty much all of my archiving equipment and materials are now gone. If you’re able to, please consider donating to her PayPal or to my Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/mediamonster

I don’t care if I’m revealing my location. Last night, my house was destroyed from the Old Trails fire burning in Spokane, Washington. I have my family, my pets, but nothing else. I won’t have anyway to make money for a while, so I need donations. paypal.me/HFehlig

I've been pretty disappointed in Wonder Boy's 40th anniversary this year. Many fans chose to do nothing, steal other's work, illegally sell fan games or result to AI-generated slop. It's deeply upsetting and it feels like our efforts have been in vain honestly. What did we fight for exactly?

To anyone who tries contributing to the Wonder Boy community (or any community for that matter) with generated AI art, sprites, music or whatever, I have two important words to say to you: Screw off.

My take on this redrawing challenge; kind of funny to be a return to this quazi chibi style I'd drawn Book in, now to go back to the character that inspired it in the first place

Asha from the Monster World series, holding a floating trophy aloft while standing in the middle of a bright yellow spotlight in the black void.  This is a redraw of a pixelated image available in the quoted post.
