Noticed some familiar faces starting to follow me! Plus some new ones! As a treat, have some of my favorite pieces from 2023. Haven’t been cooking all too much this year but I hope to get back on track soon!

sometimes i look back on when i used to be active on a little website called scratch and wonder at what point did everything go wrong

Fun Fact! Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge at Universal Studios has a THIRD secret ending if all players hit an exceptionally high average coin score on the ride. Instead of Mario taking the podium at the finish line, in his place lies a giant Universal Golden Cup trophy!

I’ve never seen any online documentation on this so I might as well be the first! Though I’ve yet to determine what the average score this ride actually looks for to make this ending occur… good luck! 🫡

lol so adobe backtracked on discontinuing animate, okay. i'm happy that at least the software will no longer receive any more updates since the company is pushing ai garbage on all their other apps! wee!

Adobe has just announced the discontinuation and end of life of Adobe Animate, formerly known as Flash Professional. As someone who got their start on their animation software, this is brazenly unacceptable. I'd say do better Adobe, but I know you never will. Screw off.

I've already began to transition away from Adobe for a while now, but as soon as my student license for their creative suite expires, I will be completely discontinuing all use of their products and services. It's just not worth my time.

So who was gonna tell me that the Undertale 10th anniversary browser game is fully touchscreen compatible?? This is so random. Tricky Tony refusing to do any sort of mobile port yet goes all-out to make these two silly fights work on all devices lol

why is apple making all their borders rounder with each new major software release. lol. app icons that went along the border in previous OS updates are now once again misaligned! yippeee

Upon the revelation of how expensive my amiibo collecting addi- I mean hobby is starting to become moving forward, it appears that I’m not going to be able to justify continuing my impulse spending off of job money alone 🫩 May need to do proper commissions asap

Problem is, I’m struggling to even find time just to draw for myself, as a recreational activity. I’m going to really need to push myself to commit to doing commission work. Once I figure out a way to balance out my ever-spiraling work/life balance, I’ll get to it.

I was a part of this, got to draw the Game Builder person figure! This lil dude is a bit hard to spot in the full art, so here it is in full! Apologies for the delay in posting, life has been hectic… 😅

We are in the final hour of the Switch 1 era, so here’s one last way to say thank you to everything the Switch 1 provided. The Nintendo Switch Farewell Collab!!! More in thread:

Well, to make a long story short- the bag is secured! There was barely any line at my local Target. Walked in, bought the console, walked out. If I knew it was going to be this easy I wouldn’t have fought the crashing retailer websites during the pre-order window… 😬😅

Has anyone else noticed that Nintendo Switch system boxes have gotten smaller with each generation despite the console itself increasing in size Switch OLED’s boxes were smaller than the launch models and base Switch boxes followed suit since. Now with Switch 2 they’re even smaller lol

Switch 2 and accessories in the wild

If my family knew about the kinds of things I listen to that help me focus while drawing they’d genuinely believe I was mentally deranged

🐣PaperKlay is now available!🐔 A 3D Platformer where you rotate and unfold a paper and cardboard world! Meet fully voiced characters on your adventure! Featuring the Banjo-Kazooie composer on the title track! Poured my heart into this game, I hope you like it! RT to help 💜

Here's a quick mockup of what I would do to improve the box art. I actually like the red bar, there was just too much unused negative space. Adjusted the logo for better balance and cohesion. Also watermarked just in case this gets in the hands of misinformed game journalists.

Alright Bluesky, you get an exclusive WIP that I won’t share publicly elsewhere! Paying tribute to my former jobs that helped lead me to where I am now. I don’t have clear refs of what the Mario Kart uniform looks like - once I do I’ll get to work!

Might adjust the arm length of the Galaxy’s Edge Pix. Feels a lil inconsistent with his counterpart on the left. Might toy around with it more for the final product…

I’m still starstruck about it - I’m now officially a ride operator for Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge at Universal Studios Hollywood. A literal dream role finally came true. I cannot wait to get started.

You ever think about how Mario Kart Live was a subliminal precursor to the Bowser’s Challenge ride at Universal? They both utilize AR technology at their core. Just some food for thought.

I couldn't resist dubbing this. Pardon my scuffed Charlie Day impression

🕹️ We are Studio 7e, a small indie gamedev team that got our start making games on Scratch - now looking to set our sights higher with new ways to stretch our creative potential. 💫 🎮 Follow along for more! 🚀

Today marks a very important day in my personal history. My Scratch account, which was what helped kickstart my way into the creative world of the internet, has officially turned 10 years old. I only wish I could have planned something special for the occasion...

That old platform was what led me to begin my passion of art, animation, and so much more. I don't know where I could have possibly been without that silly little website, and the community that surrounded it at the time. It certainly wasn't a perfect place, but it was home.

As a celebration of another semester wrapped up with a neat little bow, I’ve treated my dad to a trip to Universal Studios Hollywood before I’m blocked out for the rest of the month. Had an amazing time showing him everything new he hasn’t seen, especially Super Nintendo World. Love you, dad.
