Thank you for the honest-to-goodness proof it can be delivered to Canada safe and sound- and probably in better shape than if it had arrived via omnijet. And all credit to @inkboardstudios.bsky.social for that cover- he did a WONDERFUL job.

Crazy excited to dig into @maconfleetwood.bsky.social ‘s new book on my favourite Marvel super-team Alpha Flight! I know Daryl picked Barnes & Noble specifically because they shipped to Canada and here is your proof! Gorgeous cover!

Yes!
I got it just before we left town, and it looks amazing!
Perfect timing.

You put so much work into it! I can not wait to read all 500+ pages when we get back.

I sincerly thank you for letting me be part of this #AlphaFlight project, and making one of my dreams come true.

"Uncanny Experience," an immersive X-Men convention, lands at Minneapolis Club this weekend, where program manager Daryl Lawrence will debut "True North," a 512-page reference guide to Canadian superhero series Alpha Flight. And yes they really did save my sanity*: www.twincities.com/2025/07/10/u...

It was a very emotional time in Alpha Flight history to draw inspiration from.

It honestly was a dream come true to be able to take part in creating this homage to one of my most beloved titles.

No I definitely did not intend to... 😬

I need to get some bot repelant now.

What am I looking for the most in Dune Awakening: Honestly the general world survival and class combinations. Having the map change every week sounds like a perfect way for us survival players to keep fresh play for a long time.

Woohooo! *Happy Dance*

This was such a fun and heart warming project to work on.

And now... I don't have to hide it from people anymore! 😁

I still remember issue #12 and how my stomach dropped reading it, and getting to do a homage to it... a dream come true!

Enjoy, #AlphaFlight fans!

Well, as always with learning, the right tool for the job is the best way to improve...

So, I switched over to #Aseprite to create my sprite animations.
A much nicer experience for creating and testing animated sprites!

From Noob to... well less Noobish... 😄

Just some more #smol #pixelart , 3/4 front walk animation done, just have to flip it for the other direction, then on to the 3/4 back.

Well, maybe dinner first... 🫤😁

Did a female version after dinner.
I am calling them Bran and Boudica for now 😁

Trying to keep poses aligned so I can swap some gear between them to reduce assets.

Back and forth between 2D and 3D game assets, playing around with more styles. Today I was experimenting more with #PixelArt with hair and gear layer styles, and colour tones.

Trying to keep things super simple yet not cartoony.
I like how this concept style turned out.

Anyone else having high failure rates when applying Abbott Libre 2 CGM Sensors?

I have been having about a 50% failure over a few months now when activating new ones.

At least Abbott replaces them, but sucks having to constanly replenish them.

Updated the body mesh to improve deforms and began rigging! 😬
