NEVER LOG OFF 2023 - animated

#So I wanted to reblog something just so I could say somethin in the tags. Was planning to share art but everything I have is a spoiler #I am still single! This is a record breaking period of singleness. Almost four months. I have gotten so much living done in these 4 months.#At first I was like “I don't have a girlfriend! :( :( :(” But Now I'm like “:)” I don't know how else to summarize it...#But I have been on dates with 17 different people now. It's very strange behaviour but I am categorizing them into pokemon types in my note #And thus I don't want to get past 18 until I meet someone really special. They added the stellar type but in my mind there are still 18 typ #I'm not meaning to say I'm not seeing them as people or anything like that. It's just a fun way to... separate myself from the whole proces #Meeting new people is exciting. But most of the time I know if I'm gonna like someone before I go on a date with them #The absolute highlights are amazing. I stay up late talkin with them and we have a great time. But then when we meet it's like “This is bad #I'll tell you about one specific story. We matched and she called me handsome which immediately made me like her. We talked all night #We met the next day and went to cinema with barely any sleep. We really clicked over dinner. We agreed to see each other again #So that was great. Next time we met I stayed at hers. She lives with her dad and smokes. It wasn't as good. Her flat was filthy.#She's the only one cleaning but still. I tried to put my shoe on to leave and it was sticky from all the shit on the floor.#And suddenly everything was ruined. I went away to malaga for a week and had to finish with her by text. Didn't feel good.#There are two who just didn't reply after a date and I wasn't feeling it so I was like “you've given me an out I'm taking it.”#There were maybe four who I was like “You are the one” and for some reason it didn't work out. I am learning and growing #Anyway. I'm almost done with Beasties of Greenhollow.#I might do some animations this weekend to promote it. My socials are 99% dead.#Weird to be this close to publishing a game. Doesn't feel real.#I need to pee so I'm gonna go. Also we are moving soon. Not sorted a destination but we're saving to move house.

#heyo again posting in the ol tags #At a moral quandary but I guess I'll update yous on my life while I think of a way to sound it out #I am currently single. This is a big deal for me because I am coming to terms with my status as a serial monogamist #I think my ex has been not single longer than I have so I'm not feeling guilty about it. Just feels weird being single is all.#I'm doing the whole dating thing again. Have been on 2. First one I stayed at her spare room and freaking cried. Haven't spoken to her sinc #Second one I stayed in her spare room and she stayed with her roommate. Both times I didn't want things to go physical. Both over now.#The second one I was more optimistic for tho.Prominent thing was that she wanted me to date her and others. So I'm not exclusive with anyon #And I still maintain that. Doesn't feel good bc when I go on a date with one it feels like I'm cheating on the others.#But i have such low confidence that I don't want to turn anyone down or keep anyone waiting for me to ask them out. So idk what I'm doing #anyway. moral quandary. I just realized I can't actually talk about it. But I have to choose advancing my own career at the cost of my sou #it would be really nice to get some big £$£$ but I'd have to sort of betray new boss a little. Who has already given me permission to do so #it doesn't feel right. Shellycoat here is from new project. Ugh I dunno. I think I'm going o have to sell out just a little.#Bein single again shows me how behind I am for my age. Still can't drive still living with my best pal. Probably goin bald soon #then again I've been saying that for years now. Maybe I have a few years left of it. But yeah. I don't earn very much rn. When I get those #questionaires I'm often in the lowest bracket so i'm like “I am among the poorest of ppl then??” One lady stopped talking to me when I #told her I rented a flat. Which implies a lot of men my age own property already. But did they get them with their morals intact or did the #have to do a bit of backstabbing on the way? Anyway. I guess I'm happy that I'm not just whining about my love life.Maybe being single is o #still wanting to get out there. Maybe I'll make another post about that or whenever I'm not single lol

Wee ha

#Arright here I go again I gotta do some of these when I gotta vent #posting this on the 17th of August #So the elestral thing is going alright. My focus has shifted a LOT there but I'm still working with em #But the majority of my work comes from another client now. It's another one of these things that I'd love to make by myself #But someone else is making it and wanting me to do the art and music. It's gonna be huge. What a life it is. Anyway #This gif is from yet another project I started recently. Separate from Smile More HoaM and anything else. I keep fucking doing this #But this one's strange. It reflects my current working skills I've built up all these years. A multimedia experience that has a start n end #featuring all your favourite elphame characters in a new style. I'm enjoying making it but there's one problem #I haven't worked on it in like a month and a half #Work is piling up. Pixel art is something I don't do for myself anymore #It's not even a case of “as soon as I have time to myself my fingers can't move" it's that I just do not have any spare time lmao #I meet Ashley once or twice a week. We still play digimon a lot but we're taking this month off since she's petsitting and can't go out lat #My flatmate has basically taken the summer off work since his job pays well enough for him to do so #so having him around to play games with is nice. Feels awkward taking baths with him in the house tho lmao #He is kind of the only reason I take breaks. I got pikmin 4 and it is incredible. Genuinely might have replaced Digimon World as 1st place #Mum took Andy and I to Netherlands recently. It was incredible. I played in a local digimon tournament and ate shit #Have just been so excited about travelling lately. Ashy taking me to manchester soon and I think we'll go london next spring or sooner #Worried I'm overdoing it with the tags so I'll sign off here. Work is stressing me out but it looks like big things are happening.#OH MY GOD I HAVE STOPPED BLEEDING BTW. Like almost altogether. Haven't in like a month. The trick is in the big box I rest my feet on.#It's too tall. I tried replacing it with a pile of folders half as tall and my bleeding fucking stopped. No crohn's disease or anything.#Just a big stupid fucking box. Anyway see you

Zaptor from Elestrals!

#elestrals #pixel art #Hey gang another secret tag update #I am in talks with the guy who makes this and he's commissioning me to make every elestral :')#this is my first animation commission/job that will stop me from having to worry about commissions for like... months #maybe even a full year. who knows. But the point is I will finally be a big shot #My home and love life are comfortable as can be but I have been worried about money a little recently as commissions are sporadic #But... I'm actually on track to move to full time animation. I'm so excited.#Game is still under construction. Story is done and I'm still coding. Might need a new computer soon because this one is nearly a decade old #I'm so hopeful that the universe has finally thrown me a proverbial bone at least career wise #I have a small fanbase who is really really nice to me and I met a lot of friends there and I need to remember them when this all kicks off #Misty Ripley Heck are three that have been super supportive and I will help give back to them for keeping me afloat this whole time #Ashley has also been subscribed to me for a year. It's our year anniversary soon and I'm so nervous bc I'm not certain what to get her/do #Will just be grateful to have more memories w her. Might get a little trip away somewhere if she can get someone to watch pets #just checked. Nothing standing out but I'll figure it out now that money is significantly less of a worry #I guess that's nearly every one of my worries gone. Just gotta actually grind and finish game and I'll have nearly nothing to complain about

Yu-Gi-Oh Artwork By Kazuki Takahashi For Shonen Jump

#Wee ha I found it #hey gang posting this in november 2022 #shouting into the void for a little while in as few lines as I can #the story for my new game is 6/7ths done and most of the art assets are finished #my flatmate has been reading thru it doing corrections before I do the last part #going to see fireworks with my favourite gal today #Oh a local game shop opened near me and I have a little group there #an old friend has accused me of starting a digimon cult since that's all we play there #it's my biggest hyperfixation these days like I'm always tinkering with some deck or other #My pet decks rn are Bagra Army (AKA communism) and Machinedramon/Cyborgs #My friends from separate circles are all relatively close #like we all play d&d weekly and digimon whenever we can #I think I'm close to the tag limit so thank you for reading this I'm stressed and sometimes worried but generally happy

"Vampire": Here's Myotismon (or Vamdemon in the original Japanese dub) coming out of his coffin and unleashing a grisly wing attack. Thanks to everyone who helped me get thru stream today and get this done!

#myotismon #digimon #pixel art #was a genuine struggle #hope I'm not like this forever #hey gang #editing this post months after the fact #all is well here #working on a fun new game whose prototype I've just sent to a publisher #they're testing it now #it isn't smile more or elphame #but I've had my flatmate play it and we think it's really good #have also been seeing someone since december and she's lovely #I don't know if I've been this happy in a long long time #I only came onto tumblr now because I learned kazuki takahashi rly liked jojo #and I'm looking for a cool piece of art he did #but yeah all is going really well #I wrote a ton of stuff in hashtags and it deleted it all lmao #But I am doin okay

Today's prompt was "Apocalypse" which led me to "Apocalypse of the Damned", the game within the Be More Chill musical. Here's Jeremy and Michael with a buncha zombies.

Today's Darktober prompt is "Myth", which led me to mythic items in League of Legends, and that led me to Luden's Tempest, an item made of one "blasting wand" and one "lost chapter". Here's them forming to make Luden's and then being sold for gold, ha ha.

A little update. Hopefully I’ll get to posting every day if I keep up Darktober... or whatever I end up doing.

Starting a Twitch channel? Looking for a new aesthetic for your current one? Want to support an independent pixel artist? Here’s my commission list- any questions please let me know.

New follower/Subscriber animation: £18/$24- Get your viewers excited about new followers by showing them a themed animation. These animations can have resolutions between 16x16 to 64x64 depending on complexity, all scaled up to your desired resolution. If you’re also buying a badge or emote from me, we can work that into the animation (as in the example) for a discount.

Background/Splash screen: £15/$20- these 192x108 backgrounds scale perfectly to 1080p. They can be used for when you’re about to start, when you’re taking a break or when you’re offline- possible showing your stream schedule. If you want all of these to have the same background and for me to just change the text, I’ll only charge for one background.

Gameplay/Webcam Border: £12/$16- Don’t just stick your gameplay on-screen un-bordered! These borders can go around your display capture or your facecam, so for best results let me know what it’s for beforehand (or better yet, give me a specific resolution!)

Subscriber Badges: £6/$8- Reward your subscribers with these 18x18 icons that show up whenever they’re in your chat.

Emotes: £9/$12- No twitch chat is complete without some 28x28 emotes.

1 of EVERYTHING here: £42/$56- Get your entire stream kitted out with an animation, background, border, badge and emote!, Saving a total of £18/$24.

I accept payment through PayPal or Ko-Fi, but contact me at [email protected] if you have any questions!
