maggie ref! remastering this sketch from july 2023

the vanity angles don't make it a more useful reference but i enjoyed drawing it 🤣

well. fuck me i guess

On the first Thursday of Autumn, 7:30am, Mark Downing Jr. came in to the office early for his first day as a photojournalist. He had been looking forward to this position his entire working life, and once his coworkers stopped returning from their assignments, it finally fell onto him. At 8am, like everyone else, he saw the End of the world. But the End saw him too. Started getting back into CDDA again and wanted to draw my Shattered Skies boy Downer. He may be besieged by eldritch horrors, but at least he's their favourite (BAD THING)

Hey Its (i just put them in the tags) and cologne 

god i'm so tired of this shit. let's go back to the internet in the mid 2000s. set me free on pbskids.org and adventurequest.com the way they returned the wolves to yellowstone

I've actually had no idea when exactly I first started playing sky (because my memory is garbage 90% of the time)

but a couple months back I found this screenshot in my google photos, and the date said december 25th 2022

sooooo...

25.12.2022

25.12.2023

today marks one year of me playing sky🎉

although I was very confused at first, since for some reason I refused to go read the game's wiki during my first month in game (which at the time caused me to completely miss and not buy anything during days of feast and season of Aurora), I ended up really liking sky. so much so, that I've been logging in daily for almost half a year (I think?)

the highlights of the whole year were probably the first (or, rather, the ones that were happening during the season) and the world record Aurora concerts (pics only from wr ones, since I didn't took any at the time of season of Aurora)

even though the wr concerts were heavily lagging my game and all the servers fell off the stairs during the first day (which also somehow broke in-game camera, I still don't know how that happened), it was still a great experience

I remember how I was sitting there, whisper-yelling at the screen every time a song ended and we were back at the coliseum: "DON'T YOU CRASH YET, GODDAMIT! WE HAVE A WORLD RECORD TO GET! HOLD THE SERVERS TOGETHER, LADS, WE HAVE TO PULL THROUGH!"

another highlight was probably the season of aviary and aviary village. while yes, the season's quests weren't anything too great, since after the 4th quest, where LowTierSteward told us to commit sudoku, he then proceeded to ghost us and not even hold our hand, to go meet past season's guides, I still liked it and the whole feel of it. also this season spawned my "least autistic Hopeful Steward fan" phase (which is still ongoing lmao), since, like, 80% of my tumblr posts are HS related

overall, this year was great. had its ups and downs (most of the downs being trials, I hate them, never going back there, trial of fire killed my grandma), but overall great.

I'm looking forward to whatever next year will bring🧡

figuring out some stuff i wanna draw in the new year:

-for sure wanna finish the little smut art that I had started sketching back in november. -bad end ShB au, not sure how big of a piece yet but I've got this idea in my head of raya turning sin eater/lightwarden and all that entails but still being unable to kill thancred so there's that extra pain there. -something of carolina. i've been wanting to draw her again recently so for sure wanna make sure something of her is in my wips starting in the new year. -maybe a new set of otp art? or pinups? both? -for sure wanna still draw that thing of theron in the trophy husband shirt still, i haven't forgotten about that! -others????

Alright alright, second OC time, here we go!

Here we have Gen, robotics specialist, programming prodigy, local tired man! His notable achievements include creating Senna and Firro (not yet introduced — will be in a week or two, I think).

He did make a cameo in Senna's ref sheet (as 2 text bubbles lol).

Infodump Background coming up next!

Ref sheet v2.0 changelog: now includes super advanced features such as dynamic hairstyles, palette, and up to 2/3 full body!

OG Resi 4 was my favorite for a long ass time, alongside OG Resi 2 and Resi 1 remake. So far, I've been enjoying the absolute hell out of the remake of 4... but it's still not de-throning the "Wait, seriously??" of my current, and likely longstanding favorite, of the franchise... which is Village/8 lmao. Look. Village plays a lot like 4, especially the remake of 4, but *nothing* has made me laugh as hard as the section where Ethan goops his hand back on (jacket and all...) and much as I love the Ganado and Salazar's castle and the regeneradors, nothing comes close to the "Straight Up Bloodborne" vibes of Village. Plus, Leon has the dad jokes (not as many in the remake, but still), but Ethan is the Supreme Mold Dad. Village is just the Hole that was Made For Me. (With that said, I have like ZERO complaints about the 4 remake. Even things I could complain about, like [removing "NO THANKS, BRO"... you bastards], are non-issues because everything that's been removed has been replaced by something equally great. TY Capcom for another beautiful addition to my favorite Things pile.) (... Resi4 remake is now like solidly my second favorite.)

We once thought that Johnny’s last name as Sfondi but the truth is that his full name is Johnny Ultrakill

"Johnny Ultrakill" could be the name of a kickass William Gibson Sprawl trilogy side character, I think
