Over the years I redid Emily's portraits a few times as they had to be up to par with the rest of the artwork and all, and I recently redid them yet again. This time it should be the actual final art though!

bob-hood.itch.io/blood-of-gei... Hey so this thing I've been working on for a few years now has a demo, please try this game starring a vampire where you swing an axe around and shoot guns and go fast. If you enjoy it, reposts would help me out a ton, thank you. 🥹 #indiedev #gamedev

It's summer! (shush, the "it starts on June 20th" crowd)
I decided to start a series of touhous in summer outfits. I won't be drawing all the characters, just the ones I can come up with a good design for. First one is Youmu. The ice cream that she can't eat is next to none!

making steady progress on merpworld. the end is a tangible, achievable distance away if i don't give up. not really sure how to market something so personal.

trying to make peace with this thing receiving more negative reviews than i am used to. art should be repulsive to some people.

Make sure your RPG battle transitions, scene composition, and attack animations are at least as cool as this Taiwanese DOS RPG from 1995
