what if Bloodborne was an animated series?

I'm picking at it between Ghost of Yotei and Digimon rn 🤪
It's so fun, i could easily just play it steady, but I feel wrong replaying stuff when there's so much new to check out 😵‍💫

Happy Pokemon ZA day

If that was sorted out, like even if the games just ran or looked to the quality of a first party nintendo title, that would be the dream haha

They should delay everything by one year
surely I'll be through my backlog by then 😏

AJB @berardbro.bsky.social · 13h

Thank you Justin!!! 🙌

Right? I mostly still interact with the games to see what they've been cooking up design wise
The gameplay is serviceable, and some of the new innovations are cool, but it's never gonna be THAT series everyone wants
I think the hook that keeps everyone coming back is the creativity tho

AJB @berardbro.bsky.social · 13h

bravo 👏👏👏
I need you to know I read this in the melee announcer voice

Most modern pokemon designs are very very good, especially from Sw/Sh onward
Paradox Pokemon stand out to me as one of the better executions of a cool idea
You can tell alot of their designers have extremely specific influences or stupid fun concepts, and I'm glad they make it to the final product

AJB @berardbro.bsky.social · 15h

Totally! I think the strong theming they've done for the recent game's settings has been a great framework for designs
That aspect of the franchise still impresses me, and I think the fact the games sell so well means it resonates with a big audience
Gmefreak still knows what they're doing

AJB @berardbro.bsky.social · 15h

Ah sure, I know the one haha
I absolutely love it

AJB @berardbro.bsky.social · 16h

It's so weird to me when it's like longtime fans too
Early gens have so many silly pokemon to balance the Charizards and Mewtwos
I enjoy most monster tamer series, but pokemon still brings me back cause they usually do something unexpected or unique even after this long

AJB @berardbro.bsky.social · 16h

It was a funny way to say 'bad taste' lol

AJB @berardbro.bsky.social · 21h

You're too kind, Jeff! 🙏

It’s #portfolioday again! I’m Jeff, an illustrator and cartoonist with a super versatile style looking for work in comics, publishing, video games, and any and all illustration jobs!

Digital illustration created for the indie game Poulet Poulet. Poulet, a spherical chicken wearing sunglasses with a red quoff, is posing jauntily in the air overtop of a bustling world filled with enemies hopping around, orbs to collect, treasures to find, and different biomes stretched across its surface. Islands and clouds float in the air improbably all around the sphere. Art by me, Jeff Pennington.

Digital painting based on the Nintendo Switch video game Super Mario Odyssey. Mario, wearing his original inverted color outfit from the first few games he appeared in, is riding a yellow Vespa on a city street in a fish-eye lens perspective. He’s smiling broadly and looking up at the sky, his head tilted to the side and eyes off in the distance. A small iOS messenger word bubble appears below that states “this ur uber, am outside” implying that Mario has texted you this photo and is here to pick you up for Uber. Art by me, Jeff Pennington.

Thanks for always showing up for my stuff dude, I appreciate ya 🙏

AJB @berardbro.bsky.social · 21h

Like I get complaints about fidelity/quality of the games, and the company being terrible etc. but i'll never understand when people complain about the new pokemon designs being 'lazy'
The devs are just having fun, it's not meant to be serious guys lol
