Glitches: Koopa in a Hill

Yoshi’s Island is one of my all-time favorite video games, one reaching a platforming perfection few games, including its “sequels”, have been able to recapture. So it would make sense that it’s one of few I played enough to discover a glitch: this glitch, which I submitted looong ago to a Mario fansite I used to frequent.

Super Smash Bros.: Fighting Polygon Team!

I drew this for one of many art collaborations going around social media right now! In particular, these guys are from Super Smash Bros. — remember them? I have fond childhood memories of trying desperately (and failing ) to outrun these guys in Race to the Finish. Personally, I think they should make a comeback […]

Awesome Games Done Quick 2014: Fighting Cancer with Games!

Awesome Games Done Quick

For some reason, I only JUST found out about this event — a week-long, 24-hour livestream of video game speedruns done to raise funds for cancer research through the Prevent Cancer Foundation. A great thing for a great cause: as of this posting, they’ve raised $363,000 of their $500,000 goal! I’ve been watching on-and-off since Tuesday and I’ve gotta say, as someone who knows one too many people touched by cancer, and as a gamer, that I’m very happy this event exists to help people.

EDIT: They ultimately raised over one million dollars! $1,023,218.02 as of 1/14 10 AM CST. That’s amazing.

Shantae WIP

I discovered the Shantae games this year. I had been told about them in the past, but I sort of overlooked them in the midst of my comically oversized gaming backlog. I picked up the original Game Boy game on the Nintendo 3DS eShop this summer, and it’s wonderful! I can’t believe I didn’t know […]

Kirby vs. Computer Virus

I drew this for Ashley Davis’s Kirby’s Dream Zine! If you know one thing about me, know this: I am a huge Kirby fan. Pressed for time, I originally wanted this to be more painterly and elaborate, but it turned sort of papery instead, which was simpler with the time I had…and I like it […]

KUMA! TORA!

2013, Paint Tool Sai. I drew this for Psychokinetic, a Mother/Earthbound series fan zine published in 2016. This is Kumatora, a character from Japanese game Mother 3. Mother 3 deals with themes of loss, memory, power, gender, psychics, mother nature, and commercialization. This character in particular is a psychic tomboyish princess and my favorite character […]

This is the premier dress for D Designs, my Animal Crossing: New Leaf fashion label! This Love Dress is perfect for a Valentine’s Day outing, or if you’re just feeling cute! Its simple and classic appearance may suit you throughout all seasons. In ACNL, once you befriend Sable, you’ll gain access to the QR Code […]

Luvdisc

2013, Paint Tool Sai. A rapid warm-up experiment with simple colors and shapes, featuring an anthropomorphized Pokémon. The sixth generation of main-line Pokémon games came out this year. I’ve been playing them since I was 11 — so, for most of my life. It’s interesting and awesome to see people who are 10 playing it now, […]
