i said it on bsky already so im just gonna copy paste what i said re: villain + school

--

been thinking about villain + school a lot lately..

i was considering rebooting it into a visual novel instead of a comic, but considering that theyre both similar amounts of work i think ive decided that a comic reboot would be more fun for me to do. its just that uh. thats another comic

for those of u who werent around for it, villain + school is the comic i was working on even before new game! it was an original story about a kid who wanted to go to a hero school but got mysteriously placed in a school for villains instead, and how he had to navigate that situation. he made good friends there thankfully, including another kid who wanted to be a hero despite his parents and everyone around him expecting him to follow in their footsteps and be a villain too, and also a spunky mad scientist kid who was definitely enthusiastic about his villainy lol

it was a rly fun story and i still adore it and the characters as well as their designs..

part of why i stopped making it, aside from getting rly into sonic and then heart of camelot, is that my style changed SUPER drastically and i wasnt sure it fit the story anymore. for ref heres the old style

so ya u can see why i was thrown off i guess lol.

but like i said ive been thinking about it A Lot lately and yeah i want to reboot it into a comic at some point. if im somehow able to balance hoc, work, new game, and v+s, then id like to do that! but oh my god thats so much to do LOL.. IM JUUUUST AAAAA MANNNN who's trying not to die from being overworked

anyways. theres my morning thoughts as i prepare to do more work LOL

 🛑 Stop Working for Exposure (Mathematically)

I'm an artist and medical student, and I use art to help me pay some bills.

I built a free, helpful tool because to help prevent other talented creatives from undercharging, as I really see this a lot online.

It's a calculator with a built in reality check

Input your survival costs and expenses

True billable hours

Get the rate you actually need to charge to hit a 20% (or whatever you choose) profit margin.

It generates the rate, a template negotiation email + final invoice.

Plan to keep this tool free, ad-free, and open to everyone.

If the "Thriving Rate" calculation empowers you to double your quote on your next job, please consider hitting the "Buy me a coffee"button. It keeps the server running and the code flowing <3

AL is creating web apps, art resources, and illustrations

I am an artist and medical student and creator of Art-Res, a blog where I write and curate art resources. Hopefully you find art that bring

[art-res]

Thank you for all who tried/spread awareness of the tool and also to people who tipped, truly touched by the support and it means the world! <3

I didn't watch the Playstation thingy (bc I do not own, nor do I ever plan to own, a Playstation console of any sort- unless it's like an old PS2 or smth my brother used to have one of those), so I don't got a horse in this race, per se. But (and not to gas up Nintendo too much bc of all they've got going on these days, hh) I kinda miss the Wii era of games, where they knew that the console was graphically leagues behind everyone else at the time, and so focused on both making games fun to play, and making them look good in other ways, such as with stylization. Honestly a lot of that graphical power could do some amazing things with stylization; also people need to learn how to fucking optimize. It's been long enough that somebody should've figured out how to get the most bang for your buck, so to say, out of graphics drives.

that actually reminded me. when are we getting word on that new okami. we could have had okami news today and we didnt even get that. its over man

[knighthearts]

im biased towards shielding control resonance because im a remedy nerd and love their games but also: remedy mightve been half the cause of games going hyperrealistic because they were revolutionary for pushing graphical limits. BUT AT LEAST THEY HAVE AN ART DIRECTION

TBH a couple realistic games are fine, my problem isnt with realism in general, its just like. ALL of them being based in realism. there is zero style in anything anymore and its very upsetting

[knighthearts]

instead of perfectly rendering the dew and tiny insects on the blades of grass how about they put time into.. idk... Good stories? Fun gameplay?

[knighthearts]

im so sorry for the mass reblogs but this is literally what ive been saying why are there only TWO GAMES WITH ACTUAL STYLE IN THESE ANNOUNCEMENTS

NO UR GOOD ITS TRUE

AND ONE OF THEM WAS A REMASTER

[knighthearts]

anyways i wont get into it here i already said my piece on bsky

[knighthearts]

overall mood irt the state of play today

[knighthearts]

honest to god i am so sick of the idea the entertainment industry has, not just games but every media at this point, where they think "realism = better". whether its new or a remake (of which there are many) im tired of seeing Another real ass looking person in my fictional media. i could literally just go outside if i wanted to see a real person or a tree in HD. i could look to my left and see my wife. i do not need another video game or movie or whatever to show me a character with realistic individual strands of hair
