took a shot at traditional

But outside what I usually post but eh, whatever. I haven’t done a full drawing past sketches traditionally in at least a year if not more so I thought I’d take a crack at it. Haven’t drawn any of the FNAF animatronics before but I thought I’d try, and for a first time I’m pretty happy with it.

[littleseiko]

only a year apart

Decided to redraw the image that makes up my pfp and apparently it’s much newer than I remember. (The OG is the one on the right) just over a year apart and this was the improvement. And this time I wasn’t too lazy and didn’t neglect to draw the chair.

[littleseiko]

I hate broken glass

7 hours and 34 minutes later this took the title as longest time taken for any drawing. Got a bit of inspiration from replaying the trilogy on open goal… and listening to Shinedown for some reason…

art dump

Might as well put the re draw in here first, the one on the left is the redrawn version. Which btw these were done less than a year apart. (I’ll also note this is based off an album cover from The Offspring)

This is what happens when I forget tumblr exists for a few months. Anyway, there’s the mini dump.

This server has been around for a year and I’d like to get it a bit more active. It has activity despite its smaller size, but I’d like to see even more. I made this originally with the intention of it being a good place to share media specifically for JnD but it’s branched out to having non JnD related media channels. We also have a very small rp section and reaction roles for customization. Feel free to join if you want :)

first AO3 fic in months

God it’s been so long since I last posted on AO3, so here we are. Not the official start of this one’s release, I’m just too excited about this one to be able to wait until I’m done drafting it to start releasing. So for anyone interested here’s the first two chapters.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/76901581

Description: 4 years after the events of Jak X, Jak has been settling into life in Haven. That is until a messenger ends up dead in an alley with traces of dark eco around the body. Now he has to figure out who’s behind the murder as more and more happen, each one left with evidence that eerily points closer and closer to him.

[littleseiko]

what dark Jak could have been

every time I play Jak II or 3 I always think about the potential dark Jak had as a game mechanic, but instead it just kinda exists. Don’t get me wrong, I still like using it but I wish there was more of a reason for it to be there. What I feel could have made it better are a few possible things, one of which I don’t think would be as popular. 1. more segments where you’re forced into using it, like the beginnings of both II and 3 when protecting Kor and the kid, or the arena in 3. When I say more levels with dark Jak I don’t mean like the dark Daxter levels from tlf, I think perhaps some large combat situation where in the middle the game triggers the dark eco. I’ve also had this thought, more specifically with Jak II.

2. another one aimed more towards Jak II. Perhaps an eco meter that has two sections of the gauge. Once the meter is filled to the first part of the gauge dark Jak is free to use, however once it fills to the second part you’re forced into it. So once it hits the first section there’s two things the player can do, either use dark Jak and get rid of it, or try and avoid picking up eco. However I do believe there would be a sizable gap between dark eco activation being possible and the time it overloads so the player doesn’t have a tiny window between getting rid of the dark eco and it going off when it’s least wanted.

3. The oracle. Perhaps to combat being forced into dark Jak with the eco meter one of the upgrades could be the ability to no longer overload the gauge, allowing the player to no longer worry about their eco intake.

those are just a few ideas I’ve had on what I personally think would make it more interesting and much more remembered. Although with opengoal being a thing who knows, this idea could turn into a mod one day.

mental health art

When in doubt, I draw Jak. Doing this has made me realize how much my art improved this year.

Jak X driving meme

This one isn’t new, it’s been on my YT for a little bit. But since Jak X turned 20 today I felt like reposting it here

little felting project

For those who don’t know, felting is creating mini 3D objects via stabbing wool with a barbed needle. I’m still somewhat new to the craft but I needed to make a new object to hang on my nerd backpack.

finally able to play this years later

Thanks to the super awesome people behind uncovering the lost media game, Clone Home, Going Mobile has been released as a web version. As someone who grew up on this series finally having access to Going Mobile was a dream come true. While the web version has a few issues with the audio it’s 100% playable and it’s definitely an experience worth your time. If you like side scrollers, or even a flash game fan I’d definitely recommend checking it out.

side note. Before anyone fact checks me saying GM was available via J2ME emulation, I will point out this emulator is only on PC and android devices. While this whole time I’ve only had Apple based products.

what the heck is this!?

the new Hazbin season 2 trailer from prime just dropped and looking through it I noticed Adam is seen in the trailer. I brought it up and someone quickly said it’s probably a flashback, and at first I believed them until I watched the trailer again and noticed this. These are the two screenshots…

the first could easily be seen as a flashback but the second one… Lute has a prosthetic arm. What do you all think of this? Is there the possibility Adam will be coming back?

dark eco be messing with his head

Two versions one with writing one without. I think this is officially my longest project to date with it taking 6 hours and 24 minutes. It was my first try at doing perspective so it’s not the greatest but there’s always room for improvement.
