Friendly reminder that the best place to find the most exhaustive gallery of my art is my website! And there's some OOOOLD stuff on there. Obviously it has current stuff, but I have a deep love for sharing and fondly looking back on old art.

Yes I know it's supposed to be a stealth section. But sometimes I just gotta RUN

Playing the section of Metroid: Zero Mission where you're being chased around by Space Pirates is a lot less stressful if you put on Yakety Sax in the background

We're moving downstairs into a bigger apartment in about a month and a half, so my one bastion of hope is that the reset of territory will at least decrease conflict between them...but also cats are not known to like change, so it might make things worse _(┐「ε:)_

And if there is a cat-calming suggestion in your mind reading this, it's very likely we've tried it, short of actual prescription anxiety medication or something. We've done our best to pay attention to the cat first, play with her enough and make sure she's not hungry, but she DON'T LIKE ANYTHING

I joke but we might actually seek out a cat behaviorist for said fickle cat because I often don't know what she wants when she stares at me intently but doesn't want food or to play or to be pet. And she's so preoccupied with the younger cat and stalking her that she cannot relax

My partner and I have two cats. One is akin to having a really bitchy and fickle teenage child. Nothing is good enough for her. She doesn't play for more than five minutes without getting pissed off. Her tail is always thrashing. She bullies the other cat. And the other cat is a puppy

Secret third option. Make my bladder worse

I have a real problem downloading tons of really neat CSP assets to play around with instead of actually drawing. But HOW else am I gonna discover a brush that changes color with every stroke

Now you can pay me to draw your character in this style: ko-fi.com/c/73f912dcef I intend to keep these open indefinitely; I just have a slot limit for daily workload purposes.

My cats still can't be civil with each other, and I feel so much of the kind of stress and anxiety that a mother trying to connect with her angry teenage daughters probably feels. Source: I was once a shitty teenager

Ko-fi comms are up again, so please take a look~

They're exactly the same as what's listed on my usual commissions page, I just wanted to put the most basic types up on Ko-fi for people to just click "order" if they want.

I'm just kidding rent is more important

Buy me more Posca sets and I'll make more goofy little 3x3 paintings (⁠☞ﾟ⁠∀ﾟ⁠)⁠☞

PAINT MARKERS ARE FUN

Two 3-inch by 3-inch mini canvases, one with a painting of Kirby holding a warp star on a cloudy background and the other with a stylized painting of a Dark/Fly Chao.

And this one is a side story of another NES game, Kouryuu Densetsu Villgust: Kieta Shoujo, which I'm also now interested in

Reala @reala.bsky.social · 16d

I don't remember when I downloaded the game but it was probably one of my random bursts of wanting to try out old games I've never heard of -> go to the Spriter's Resource and see what looks intriguing -> read about and seek out said games if I wanna try them

Reala @reala.bsky.social · 16d

I've been playing a fan-translation of this NES game called Kouryuu Densetsu Villgust Gaiden, and it's actually pretty neat and I'm having fun with it? Which is saying a lot for me as someone who usually is really bad at NES games that aren't Kirby's Adventure

Ah I remember being literally eight years old checking out your website and adoring your pocket Yoshi art in particular, small cute lil guys! And honestly a great name for said small cute forms. "Chibi" is there, but "pocket" brings to mind handheld game consoles and like...mini beanie babies.

Reala @reala.bsky.social · 17d

Tbh it's not like I need Poscas specifically, but I do need to read up on good paint markers. I don't care about brands as long as they're actually quality and what I need. I tested out some that my mom has and they're perfectly fine but I'm picky and the colors get dull when they dry _(┐「ε:)_
