Whew! We got the prologue of my first AU since...KOFtober '23(a brief one-shot) and before that, Twisted Justice, back in '21.

Anyway, if you like horror movies, gore and horror tropes out the ass, you might like Phobia, a Fatal Fury Horror AU! More Links below!

#KOFtober prompt 12: Favourite NPC

Jean's a blank slate but I fleshed him out so he's cool, which probs sounds really vain but whatever. Also, there's Marron, whom I hc as a male brown tabby (no, the cat in the old AOF art is not him).

#KOF #KingofFighters #Jean #Marron #AlwaysCreditTheArtist

King's little brother, Jean, holding her cat, Marron in front of his face. He's wearing a Minecraft hoodie and there are sparkles around them because they're cute or something. Anyway, I've aged Jean up to 12, which could actually be canon but who knows? I sure don't. And, yeah, I know Eiji Shiroi did that old pic of King holding a silver and white cat in AOF, but she doesn't get Marron until KOF 96, so there's that. Also,

Hark! A new story, brought to you by probably maybe watching way too many reaction channels. Please enjoy, and remember to leave Kudos if you actually do :)

Anyway, King, Mai, Yuri, and YouTube...

Happy Birthday to Whippy, one of my most often written people!

Nothing new this year, but I do have once again some older bday stories you can poke around if you want. (Yes, her and Adel are the OTP of KOF).

Today's #KOFtober prompt is "Redesign an SNK character," which is basically all I do (when I'm not emotionally torturing them).

Credit to @malaguetasccp.bsky.social for the existing Mai and King mods!

#KOF #KingofFighters #King #MaiShiranui #BlueMary #AlwaysCreditTheArtist

Collage of thelexhex/illyrilex's redesigns of King, Blue Mary, and Mai from KOF, Art of Fighting, and Fatal Fury, along with a couple of shots of CachorroViolinsta's mods from KOF XV and COTW based on said redesigns (where applicable because no thelexhex Mary mods exist). King's cursed MLS outfit is also a mod that doesn't exist but is there because that was one of my first alternate designs for her.

In 2024, instead of KOFTober, I wrote an AU horror story, Phobia, that is Freeman-based and inspired by a lot of 80s horror that mixes death metal, said movies, and other stuffs. Also pictured: some excellent art from it, courtesy of @/martinag.bsky.social !

Freeman, looking like he just committed a lot of deadening of people

WP78 @writerperson78.bsky.social · 4d

I unfortunately haven't been able to get any KOFtober done-maybe I'll get to sneak in one or two.

BUT! I have done them before! So I'll link those to read!

Another case of "I got bored and decided to redo something old from scratch."

If you use this, please give credit; that's all I ask :)

King and Blue Mary from KOF standing against a blue background like that one Toy Story meme. Mary is smiling and looking up toward something with a raised hand while King, who is looking in the same direction, is grimacing. The image reads "Chuds. Chuds everywhere" in Impact font. Illustrated by thelexhex/illyrilex :)

A quick, really rough Mai sketch done with some new brushes I downloaded. Will I hate this later? Probably, but at least the the colours are pretty.

#FatalFury #COTW #KingofFighters #KOF #MaiShiranui #AlwaysCreditTheArtist

Quick sketch of Mai Shiranui from Fatal Fury and King of Fighters, done in a multi-coloured blue brush that has some light green and indigo worked into it. She's leaning forward and there are other brush strokes visible becaus I was testing them out or whatever.

Don't call it a comeback; I've been here for years~

Blue Mary, holding a mic up to her face and singing while running her other hand through her hair. Illustrated by thelexhex/illyrilex after a long-ass hiatus so be gentle or whatever.

It's Noctis's birthday, so as is tradition I have a new illustration to share~
This one's a bit on the quick side--he's also the subject of this month's Copic Challenge (which drops on Patreon tomorrow!).

Happy birthday to my fave FF boi~!

A digitally coloured illustration of Noctis--the older version because I prefer that version. c: He's in a seated position, propping his left arm on his left knee.

Just saying hello!

I managed to scribble a little something(South Town/Second Southtown based), more of a train of thought thing, but not sure if it will be posted(it's a couple paragraphs.)

I am doing fine here though, just trying to find a balance between work-writing and leisure-writing!

I’m gonna be straight up with you: please buy my game so I can have the funds to move out of this country before it kills me. That’s why I’m pushing so hard! Trying to move my entire trans household out of here and it’s very expensive. If you have the game, please leave us an honest (5words) review?

Hey to celebrate some CotW release...why not take a look at like, the one Fatal Fury adjacent thing I have written?

Yes, it's an AU, and it surrounds someone who looks to be DLC(at least going by everything), but it's Freeman stuff!

Warning: Gore and 80s-90s horror shout outs galore.
