New Halloween Animation this year, a mock RPG Fight!

In the Paper Mario style, Fey and Don decide to try and take on a nefarious spirit that’s been haunting the local pumpkin patch, though they may not be prepared for all the treats and toony treats it has up it’s sleeve.

Oooh, now that's an impressive redesign! Especially considering how much glass and iron goes into it, that's no small feat. Well done!

Still on Hiatus working on projects, but I wanted to share this drawing of @jumbi.bsky.social 's interpretation of Timpani from Super Paper Mario in their comic: Filling the Void!

Timpani as designed by Jumbi: a human woman in a teal and blue dress with rainbow wings on the left. She is floating in the air and sparkling. To the top right: her butterfly form. On the bottom right, a monochrome closeup of her face, smiling.

A message about UNDERTALE's upcoming anniversary. A pixel doodle of an alien face, and text which reads "UNDERTALE sparked a passion for art within me by opening my eyes to what you can do with determination and a creative spark. With hope and community, anything is possible.

Thanks for asking, but admittedly things are pretty busy here, I likely won't have time for trades or the like for the foreseeable future, my apologies.

Ardwick @ardwick.bsky.social · Jul 4

It's definitely a work in progress, but day by day things are moving along. Thank ya!

Ardwick @ardwick.bsky.social · Jul 3

For the record, my goal is still to learn how to make a turn-based RPG, but for now I've been fiddling with Action RPG stuff in Godot too, haha.

I do need to find some resources for making RPG battles, hrm...

Some more game tests! Seth tries to tackle the mischievous spirits head-on! Being a psychic helps, but perhaps one should avoid letting them overwhelm you 👻🎃

I haven't quite gotten there yet, but I'd like to do that when I figure out how to make it work!

Ardwick @ardwick.bsky.social · Jun 20

Still learning some game design stuff for fun! A little bit more polished then last time. Now Seth can run about! Good for weaving past some spooky critters!

Thank you for bearing with me, I have been on vacation. Thank you for the drawings, I didn't expect to see these characters again!

This is REDUX, a webcomic that features psychics, animals, and supernatural spooks!

The final chapter to date, Chapter 9, Actualization, sees a confrontation that puts the living and the dead against a frightening foe! Their friends hang in the balance!

reduxwebcomic.com/comic/chapte...

The title page of REDUX, Chapter 9! The subtitle reads: Actualization. Depicted below it is a tall, towering image of mystical owl looming over the much smaller Fey, an anthro red panda ghost and Seth, an anthro Aardvark. They walk toward the owl, looking up at it undeterred. They walk on a pink cloud, which stretches out as far as the eye can see.

Admittedly things are a bit busy on my side, so I likely won't be able to do trades for a while, my apologies!

Ardwick @ardwick.bsky.social · Jun 9

Oooh this is fun! Perhaps my critter Seth in a Vintage Halloween Decor Style?

Ardwick @ardwick.bsky.social · Jun 1

Oh wow this takes me way back! Thank you for your drawing, that's very kind of you! :D

This is REDUX, a webcomic that we made that features psychics, animals, and supernatural spooks!

Chapter 8, Psionic Acquisition, sees things fall into place. Plans are carried out by our heroes and other forces and the die are cast for the fates of Seth and Fey.

reduxwebcomic.com/comic/chapte...

The title page of REDUX, chapter 8! The subtitle reads: Psionic Acquisition. Depicted below it is a research laboratory where multiple scientists observe a stage. Within it are sat two people: a nervous feline, and a confident and much younger Muriel. Muriel effortlessly lifts multiple objects in the air with her psychic abilities, which the observing scientists approve.

And now for the REDUX Intermission pages for Chapters 5 and 6! Many years ago, Seth's ancestors survey space for their new bank. And, not too long ago, a youthful Don and Lewis visit their favorite arcade in the city!

and
reduxwebcomic.com/comic/chapte...

The Intermission page for Chapter 5. At the top of the page is the text "Thanks for Reading!" Beneath that is the image of a postage stamp, and on it Seth's ancestor Walter Edgar. He stands on a busy old timey street in front of an old brick building a clock tower. A caption below the image reads "Edgar Banking & Co." It's a 3 cent stamp dated 1901.

The Intermission page for Chapter 6. At the top of the page is the text "Thanks for Reading!" Below that, a younger Don and Lewis Bailey play an Arcade Game together. The point of view is from the arcade cabinet screen. Behind them, a colorful glowing arcade can be seen.

Chapter 7 features some plans put into place. Two souls remain trapped across opposite realities. Can they bridge the worlds between, and what costs may they pay?

reduxwebcomic.com/comic/chapte...

The title page of REDUX, chapter 7! The subtitle reads: Voices from beyond. Depicted below it is a window with a sunset behind it. We are viewing from inside, and on the windowsill, covered in dust and cobwebs, sits four bug statues, each in a position of prayer.
