Sometimes you get a portion that contains EVERYTHING.

joseph (that's long for joe)

#furryart

mspaint / paintbrush drawing of chicken joe.

the overall complexity compared to the penguins and general silhouette made this a lot trickier, especially with the integer position on the canvas lol. this wasn't as fun to do and i don't think it looks as good as the others as a result.

The surf is very well and truly, up.

#furryart

dithered digital drawing of three surf's up characters - chicken joe, cody maverick, and tatsuhi kobayashi - standing against a six quadrant dithered photograph of a wave lapped beach.
Made using a mix of Windows 3 applications and era appropriate software discs. (and Krita for some final touches lol).

I still need to work on NG+ but I haven't had the time between working on other things and being sick lol so I've not committed to anything yet.

Alex @krowbutt.bsky.social · 10d

Almost forgot, but here are the rides I used for the remaining #TXR chapters. I was already using the Chaser for post game early access. I'd normally pick Toyota over Nissan, but I was already figuring the R35 would be good endgame.
And I realise my cars are kinda NFS Pro Street coded lol.

JZX100 Toyota Chaser in TXR '25. It has a clean front end with rear aero mods. Features a multicolour geometric/tribal Art Factory vinyl with a bird overlaid on top of it.

RZ34 Nissan Fairlady Z in TXR '25 with a full Impul aero kit. Painted in a darker shade of green to the BNR34, but features a deeper green lighting bolt and various sponsor decals hapslapped on the sides and in line on the rear.

R35 Nissan GT-R in TXR '25. It has a full Varis kit with stock wheels and rear wing. Painted in white with a sharp monochrome side vinyl and a selection of carefully placed decals. Partially shown is the lighting aura it carries.

Everyone says Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2025 is great, it's time I give it a try too.

C1 Circuit? If I remember right from the brief stint I played this for, if you get the camera positioned right and hold steer, you can see the front wheels will turn indefinitely lmfao.

His car for reference. I was going to add it to the backdrop but I couldn't really get it looking right, so alas.

So uh... after seeing the buff shark on Rising Seaman's GR86 in #TXR I knew I had to draw it myself, with some additional stuff :3

this is what they took from me 😔🚬

Alex @krowbutt.bsky.social · 14d

But really, I've had quite a lot of fun playing through the game the last few days. I already plan to NG+ and do No Losses for the final two achievements lol. I hope Genki keeps this ball rolling and we get more TXR goodness in the future 😋

Alex @krowbutt.bsky.social · 14d

Finally completed TXR '25. Wow, that's all I need to say.
I have a lot of things to say about this game and series as a whole, but I don't have the space nor time.

Just one thing, Genki... Can we get old Steal Heart back? His TXRD2 car and logo fucking sucks lmfao. Please? 🥺

This is a PC specific problem, right? I definitely have the starter sound drilled into my mind from playing a ton of this on PS2. PC audio playback for 3 is an auditory mess for me since it's either clipping like mad (via Miles) or dropping sounds (Dsound, I think?) when a lot of sound is playing.

extra context is that i typically use a corsair scimitar to sketch with, but i picked up a huion recently and it's been a task to incorporate it into my work, so i haven't used it outside of loose scribbles and such. but this is the furthest i've done anything with it, so i'll try to finish with it.

Alex @krowbutt.bsky.social · 20d

well here's a sketch using the new tablet. okay, the black line sketch underneath was with the mouse but i figured i'd give it another go with trying to do a different head angle and work from there.
also sketching rising seaman's shark because of course i am. i've also never drawn a shark before.

uooough it's the TXRD2 version too, Genki why :(

Alex @krowbutt.bsky.social · 21d

Also they put Steel and not Steal, very upset >:(

Alex @krowbutt.bsky.social · 21d

Well I guess I'll be playing the rest of TXR now that it's out.
I was planning to start afresh, but eh, I'd rather do another run for that. Hopefully NG+ doesn't somehow lock me out of the undefeated cheevo so I can hundo it again.

Alex @krowbutt.bsky.social · 21d

Here's hoping, I really couldn't get into 5 when I played on game pass a few years back. It was fun for a short while but nothing to keep me there.
Also I can't wait for them to somehow have USDM Japanese models in this one lol, I already have bets on the 240SX reappearing.

I still have some backlog that I wanna clear out first, but I think I may just have a fundamental workflow issue that has been shaped through using a mouse that it impedes on working with a pen input. Or maybe I just need to relearn everything from scratch :(

Alex @krowbutt.bsky.social · 24d

So I ended up buying a tablet to hopefully transition from a mouse to that for my artwork, and after some trials and many errors, I honestly still think I prefer the mouse lol.
Like, I do feel like I'm way more precise with things using a mouse, but I don't know, it's still early days.

Alex @krowbutt.bsky.social · 26d

a sketch for a friend. i kept the options limited to "fat dragon" because that's what was on the mind and was suggested tabaluga. i don't really know the character at all but i think this came out pretty well.

#furryart

toony dragon sketch with a round belly, shapely figure and a nice smile :)

Alex @krowbutt.bsky.social · 26d

and the final of the bunch. big and strong :3
