Anyway here’s one of the two things I drew for the goodbye volcano high fanzine, check it out if you want to see all the fantastic work in there and if you want to see the other thing I drew before I eventually get around to posting it here.

Fang Trish and Reed from goodbye volcano High depicted as a bird, porcupine and fox respectively. Fang is saying “do you ever feel like we’ve done this before… like, a really long time ago?” Reed is nodding, Trish, holding a caterpillar is looking at them confused and saying “Wat?”

Digital ghost.
An anthropomorphic cat-like person looks out an open ornate wooden window done in a traditional Slavic style. It's night or late evening, the window is illuminated by blue moonlight while the insides of the house are lit by a warm overhead lamp making it look yellowish, almost orange. Several black and grey wires line the outside wall and surround the window frame from all sides. A couple of them lead directly into the house through the window. The person looking out into the street has frizzy short dark hair and wears a black or dark grey t-shirt. They have yellow eyes with bright cyan irises and the edges of their silhouette appear to be distorted in a glitchy, digital manner. There's a clock hanging on the wall behind the figure. The time is three in the morning.

The primary criteria for balance decisions is spiting players that personally annoy us on the internet. If you provide that reasoning to other designers or directors, they respect it under the Nemesis Rule.

An E-bike battery burned my house down on the first day of GDC. Seeking mutual aid from financially stable colleagues.
gofund.me/47306b15
A column of fire envelops an RV in a pine forest late at night. My bedroom and office reduced to ashes. The metal walls and roof are largely destroyed, revealing the forest beyond. A class C RV gutted by fire. The heat of the fire has killed most of the plant life in a nearby garden. A segment of an RV's exterior wall. The heat of the fire has melted through the aluminum panels.
