Gator swamp witch with a lotus pod staff!🐊 I figured that already having a frog witch, the only other animal fitting in the swamp would be an alligator #pixelart

Another age progression of Olivia the Dragon Knight as she grows up from a baby dragon warrior, to a teen dragon knight, to an adult dragon soldier with a team. This OC keeps returning to my sketchbooks because I got a bug to make a story about century long time progression and kaiju battles.

I think it's incredibly telling that every article featuring some out of touch politician or CEO of some evil empire company will have a picture of them. And every time the person is incapable of hiring a photographer that likes them enough to shoot them making a pleasant face. All grimace...

Half-beasts generally have weak static vision (but excellent movement tracking) beyond 100 yards which makes for suboptimal archers. Rhea happens to be a lucky exception

Most of the PR problems of AI could be solved if boosters shut the fuck up about it. Companies could slip the vibe code in and no one would notice. They could boil our frogs and ignore the croaks until everything is inundated. But no, they need to open their big damn mouths about it.

Vampire Tactics will be revealed in a couple of days. We got the steampage ready, the reveal trailer done and I am really excited to show you what @kosowski.bsky.social & started to create in the last ~2 years of spare time. Certainly there is some of my best art in this game & lots of care.

​Lula won the Brazilian election! ​We beat not only the far-right, but also the tech bros of social media, the USA (Trump tried to interfere in the election to take over our country's natural resources), and the media, which ignored the crimes of the opposition. ​This is our lesson to the world!

The fact Eric Bauza had passed on from hypertension (and sleep apnea apparently), it’s a good reminder to take good care of ourselves. Shit’s scary knowing that it can hit someone even when young.

At Cole's size, he can grab and carry other animals depending on their size and weight if they're KO'd. People Cole's size and smaller can be carried with relative ease, but anyone larger and Cole will need to improvise. With quick thinking, Cole can use bodies as cover or a extra platform.

I'll suggest an alternative to TV Tropes that'll never tempt you to visit this site again. It's shorter and gives you the know how to infer the fiction tropes for yourself.

TV Tropes is blocking access to the site not only if you have ad blockers on but location tracking off unless you want to subscribe to their $5 a month/$25 a year subscription plan. Even people who have turned their ad blockers off are reporting the site isn’t working. This all seems like a bad idea

What was your biggest impact on the internet? Either this, my Resident Evil Raccoon Fan Art, or one of the few pixel illustrations of a Woolly Mouse OC.

The Bear Bandit is a towering force, lumbering through the field in constant pursuit of the small weakling he's ordered to crush. One hit from his club will send Cole to the stratosphere and woe to the raccoon should that bear come running...

Monstafran@mastafran.com

The Bear Clubber is Nad Greentail's strongest enforcer and a towering challenge against Cole Blackmask. Despite his slow wit and lumbering gait, this Clubber's power is beyond Cole's capabilities, with his tiny weapon falling useless to against his giant body. Can Cole hope to overcome this giant?

I had a variety of ideas for the Bear Bandit. There's a few I'll keep around in case I want another design or character ideas.

Ferret Knight A sketch idea for a "level 2" variant of the weasel bandit enemy in Blackmask. He'd likely have similar moves to teh weasel, with more HP and Defense and different moves with a new weapon. Unlike the bandits, the ferret knight would be allied with one of the ruling mustelid kingdoms.

The Fox Bandits are simple cutthroats who aimlessly patrol the land until an opportunity to reveals itself. The bandits will recklessly slash with their knifes and jump around in manic desperation to overwhelm their opponent. But, a cooler head can prevail against them. #pixelart

Monstafran@mastafran.com

The Knife Foxes are Nad Greentail's pirate crew of miscreants. Many are deserters, drifters, and drudges from seedy corners of the world seeking easy fortune. When not arguing with their self-appointed, Tanuki Captain, they bumble around, hoping to catch victims unaware with their knives.

Don't be deceived by the Weasel Bandit's small size, as he can go from small lad to long lad in a second!

Monstafran@mastafran.com

The weasel bandit is one of the many crafty crew of the Greentail Bandits. Capable of slipping into crawling hole and under Cole's sword swings to nick at his angles, the weasel bandits is quite the irksome little twerp.

Can't just say "this isn't for me" anymore it always has to be some Shareholder speak. "Gameoverse contributes nothing to society it's Shantaeslop" or some bullshit. You control the mouse you click!

a cool thing about indie animation is that it's expected to save the entire industry, every show has to look better than the things the fans grew up on or it's a waste of time, there's no union to be found anywhere, no budget for any of it, and asking the audience to pay anything to watch is illegal

This promo art I did for an indie game, called Furs of Fury, landed with a thud as one of the few paintings I made. I spent 8 months on it, I leveled up, but I'll admit it killed my enthusiasm to spend time painting more.

How about instead of "Post your most popular art on Twitter" we do "Post your LEAST popular art on Twitter" I would find that even more interesting!! What piece did Twitter let flop like a hot potato even tho you were super proud of it??

The thing is, smoking is bad. And so is suicide ideation. But there are so many cool, striking, evocative, sexy poses one can strike in art with a lit cigarette or a gun to the head. What is one to do?

As a tanuki, Nad is quite rotund and stocky. But he's by no means helpless as a former military archer. If Cole's caught without cover, he may find himself pinned down.
