Inspired by the legendary NASA Peepo meme, I decided to give our favorite green puppet astronaut status, fully suited up in… her trusty red dress. This vector homage captures Mona breaking through NASA’s iconic orbital swoosh leaping joyfully into the cosmos, boldly going where no children’s TV character has gone before.

Can anyone guess where I’m going with this?

You may not realize it, but fighting games are basically just a chess match...

Only you play them at 100 mph.

Here’s the main menu for a game I never finished called the Tomb of Shadows. It’s a rogue-like dungeon crawler with magic spells, mummies, evil spirits, and lots and lots of gold… That was like 1-2 years ago. Thankfully I still have all the source files so I may get around to finishing it some day :)

From today’s Twitch stream … One way (of trying) to get proportions right when copying from reference is to imagine a low-poly version of the object and focus on hitting the correct angles/triangle shapes. I used a different lighting direction than in the reference, so the rest was a bit tricky.

Follow me on Twitch if you want to drop by to say hi or ask any questions.

It's incredible just how much detail has to be crammed into just at 32 by 32 pixel art drawing.

Believe it or not, book mimics can jump as high as a 6 feet in the air, and some of the lighter species are known for their ability to glide for several yards afterwards.

A long time ago, I saw this image of a mimic mailbox eating a squirrel and thought I’d make a similar animation of my own. If anyone knows the source of that first image, please leave a comment.

A mimic’s diet often consists of shiny metals and small animals but among it’s favorites would have to be human flesh and... artisan cheese?
