You'll never believe who just spent a week doing pixel art...... Did the classic "let's take a 3d horror game, turn it into a 2d more cartoony (relatively speaking) style"
Pathologic's shitty DS port, to walk you have to drag the stylus across the touch screen and to attack you just have to circle your enemies a billion times :))))

Yapping and close ups below vvv
Oh my god pixel art is hard- it's the second time ever I've tried it, and boy oh boy I was not expecting to spend a week on this fjfj But I had fun ! Especially with the small sprites ;w; they cute ! But yeah next time I won't bother with line art- that was a nightmare
Frankly I've played The Void (Tension) way more than Pathologic, but I can't say I'm not hype for patho 3 fjfjjfj can't wait to play the pompous bitch :))) only downside is that they didn't keep his platforms from the original </3 heartbroken- give me the angel with a shotgun ass paintings and demonia Dankovsky
Also the fact I discovered hbomberguy because one afternoon in 2021 I stumbled upon his pathologic video and went "oh a video about the other big games from this studio I love ! Let's hope it's good :)" kfkfjfjfj Great stuff indeed
Bonus close ups I made for insta but there is no reasons you can't also see them !
PS : The software I used for this is called Aseprite ! You can dl it via steam and it's really easy to figure out :))
Welcome to postcards for Jean Moreau, a sweet and sentimental archive for our gentle, grey-eyed Frenchman.
Inspired by declanslynches, this account exists as a platform to submit your postcards from where you are around the world, or where you've been, with kinds words for Jean, keeping Kevin's tradition alive!
To contribute, all you have to do is send us a picture of your postcard (these can be digital too) along with a short message for Jean on the back. We will of course ensure you're tagged when we post your submission, or you can request to remain anonymous.
(Note: If you do wish to remain anonymous, please make sure this is explicitly stated in your submission message. As admins of this account, we'll still see your username of course, but will respect your privacy and won't share your user under your submission when we post it)
The really fun part of this little project is that you can write as yourself, or get super creative and write from another character! For example, share what you think Kevin would have written in a postcard, or write to Jean from another character i.e. a Trojan friend or another Fox. We're even happy to accept art submissions should any artists be interested in drawing their postcards and are happy for us to post/share their posts.
We'll do our best to post weekly, and will post submissions from the order in which they are received. So, don't panic if it feels like we've forgotten you, you might just have a few submissions ahead of you. Please make sure that you're happy with your written message before you send it through as we won't be able to guarantee time for you to edit before posting. And, we're more than happy to post in your language or English!
If you should wish to have your post removed for any reason, just let us know and we'll take it down, though we hope that won't be the case. We're determined to to keep this account free of any discourse or conflict so we ask that everyone be respectful when engaging, whether that be interacting with the posts or in the messages you send through. If we feel like something is inappropriate we won't be sharing and we will not be engaging with anything fandom related on this account outside of its purpose.
We hope that covers everything, but if you have any questions, our ask box and dms are always open.
We also hope this encourages you all to be a tourist in your own city as you pick up a postcard for Jean to remind you there is always something beautiful in the everyday and even in what might seem like the smallest of places.
Lets spread a lot of love and light for our sweet boy from around the world.
"Rester, c'est exister. Mais voyager, c'est vivre." 🩶
Thank you!

Dropping the first papercraft of the year, and the first full papercraft I've personally done in 4 years (if you exclude commissions and standees). I was grateful to catch one of the limited theatrical screenings of Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein (2025) at the end of last year and I think we can all agree this scene was the stand-out moment in the film. But there were also several themes that hit me with such a powerful resonation, I felt like my soul was sucked into the film and split between the mind of Victor and the heart of the Creature.
Firstly, how could I have not captured this scene in papercraft? Assembling the Creature from scraps of paper, moments before he's meant to become scraps himself. It allowed me to step into Victor's shoes, and relive the obsessive pursuit he describes in the film, only to suddenly meet his goal and aimlessly fumble with what he's created, chaining it in the dungeon, out of sight and mind. I find myself, after tireless nights of dedicated crafting, throwing my completed papercrafts into my closet, documented, abandoned, eager to start the next one.
My Cake Tier Patreon members can download a digital papercraft kit of this when I drop the files later tonight!
Read on further if interested in how this papercraft marks a personal health milestone for me. Otherwise, have a wonderful day!
Why this papercraft marks a personal health milestone for me.
March 2023 is when my health suddenly took a left turn (see Facedown Fate and Night-Glimmer posts). Out of nowhere, I began to have what I call 'low heart rate sessions', where my heart rate for any activity was running 10-15 points lower than normal. I felt like I was walking underwater, my chest felt heavy, I felt cold, and would have to breathe heavy to keep up with the activity I was doing (whether that be walking, or even sitting). Then after several hours, it would suddenly disappear. My HR would rise to normal levels, my breathing would ease, my temperature would rise. No explanation or trigger.
I went to the ER 7 times over the next two months, and with the onset of my second now-chronic symptom, what I refer to as a PVC, I checked into the hospital for evaluation. People who have PVCs describe them as heart flutters, but mine are heart 'kicks'. Like a miniaturized version of the wind being knocked out of you. It's a scary, uncomfortable heart rate hiccup, invoking a short cough, and there's a feeling of dread lasting moments after it happens.
Over the next two years, I went to gastrologists, pulmonary specialists, allergists, 3 different cardiologists, tested so many medications, had multiple CT scans, MRIs, Echos, holter monitors, stress tests, all coming back with 'you're healthy as a horse, it's just stress'. In the end, the only solution my cardiologists could offer were anti-depressants for the stress or beta-blockers for the PVCs (which, hah, lower the heart rate….hello???), which I declined both. I felt if it was stress causing these mystery symptoms, medications interfering with my productivity would just make me more stressed.
During the height of my symptoms I would experience a PVC every 20 minutes, invoked by sudden HR changes (even something like eating shaved ice, which triggers a hypothermic response through your tongue) or random stress events. Eventually, I cut out unnecessary stress in my life (like the news) and I saw my PVCs start to recede to a handful of times per day, months later.
Now, almost three years later, I'm only experiencing them a couple of times a week, if at all, after significant lifestyle changes and rigorous stress deterrents that I invoked at the start of 2025.
I sat through the Frankenstein film marveling at how bosom buddies I was with Victor's ambitions, only to realize I was experiencing my second self through the Creature. A being who was confused in his body, and clashing with his creator, desperate for answers on how to continue living as he is.
Him holding onto the dynamite stick was a taunted retribution toward Victor, but there's a moment of desperate hope in his eyes that this could be the way to unmake himself, perhaps into something Victor would realize he has to accept.
Last year I had to unmake myself to put everything back together with where I'm at now. With those tools in my pocket, I have a better outlook for 2026 and beyond. Rather than the closet, I've hung this frame in my hallway to remind me of this milestone, my Creature, everyday.
