Happy_Bear_Dance_Audio
Back in 2016, PunchBears on Twitter made a random video render with no audio to see if anybody would mix in audio themselves. Hardly anybody participated in the fun, but I did and decided to add in Tiny Tim's Living in the Sunlight which worked great with the original video before it was deleted. The audio gets cutoff because that's all PunchBears animated.
This would be just a start of what's to come when I start audio editing content, so stay tuned!
SSBB_Mod02
Following up to my previous post about Super Smash Bros. Brawl modding, this here be the second mod I did, which came from an existing mod that I used as a template.
Original Mod: Here. My Mod: Here.
What was great about it is that it organized the objective list better in the game's adventure mode known as SSE (Subspace Emissary), letting you know exact what area of the game you select. The downside was that I was not crazy about the image back drop they had, so I decided to create a design from scratch that would look close to being somewhat official. Lots of trial an error with this one due to making sure it fits both 4:3 and 16:9 screen/TV aspect ratios. I'm overall happy with the results. And as an added bonus, I even put the official SSE logo for the adventure mode's game start screen.
SSBB_Mod01
For a brief period of time, I made a handful of game mods to the video game Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Nintendo Wii. While most of them were just custom music to replace existing one in the game, there were two that stood out from the rest.
The first one was a mod that replaces the video game's movie intro when starting the game. ORIGINAL:
MOD:
You can download the mod here.
It was a challenging but rewarding experience for me, as there were a lot more steps that needed to be done. Video editing was straightforward, but I had to convert the finished video to a format that the Wii can read, thus required community made tools to download. One for converting the video format to THP format (Tecmo. Home. Production.), and one for video playback dedicated for THP files. Thankfully, you can use the current version of VLC Media Player to playback THP video files, obsoleting the dedicated playback app.
For my video, I decided to remake "Alternate Intro To Super Smash Bros. Brawl" by SmashBrosMix on YouTube, due to the video quality being low at 360p and trying to converted it to a THP file would not be worth the compromise.
Another user did do that, but the results were poor and the file couldn't even fit on the disc itself. Leaving only less desirable options to just get the mod working, which I was not in favor for. To make matters worse, the download link to that mod is broken and is lost to time.
Thankfully with my mod, it's still available to download. I painstaking checked every video frame that it would be as close enough 1-to-1. Getting the footage was tricky, as I had to record it in the Dolphin Emulator while also having to legally rip my ISO of the game and same data that could access those cutscenes. OBS Studio wasn't really a thing back then, but we take it for granted today. The whole recreation project took up to 200GB but it paid off in the end, as the video output quality was great and size was significant lower compared to the other user's. Thanks to it, it could easily fit on the disc with an ISO editor with no issues. On-the-fly patching options for THP videos wasn't possible until much later in the Brawl's modding scene.
DDR_CAM_STREAM_01
This was an idea I've been wanting to do for a long time.
For those that don't know, I have been playing DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) for awhile now. Mostly because I was dealing with some health issues a few years ago, and I needed to exercise. Thankfully, I remembered the arcade game DDR when I was a child in the early 2000's, and I started purchasing the home ports of the game by repurposing my PlayStation 2, as well as buying a dancepad to actually play. After a couple of weeks, my health had made an improvement and I no longer dealt with the negative issues my body was having prior.
It's to the point that I've became more confident by occasionally livestreaming my DDR workouts, and challenging myself to try new songs, while keeping track of my steps.
I even made a dedicated stream layout that's different from my usual streams with intros, outros, dedicated layouts for playing the game on console and on Stepmania (free DIY PC version). Artwork in the corner done by Kresblain.
To add more to my DDR streams, I made the video above by repurposing my handmade stuffed plush, my small portable CRT TV, and a Japan only controller that only has 4 buttons to look like a small dancepad, with my PS2 connected to the TV via RF converter. I decided to have the Japan home port of DDR Extreme at its title screen and the demo playing, since it was one of the most common arcade machines at the time. The dimly lit lighting is a callback to gaming in the past, while the audio was mixed in via my capture card. Camera layout was fun to play around.
In the end, this video was made as a stream notification and announcement when I'm livestreaming.
Restoration at NYC YCH
Now this one is a bit interesting. A friend of mine paid for a YCH (Your. Character. Here.) art from another artist, who goes by finnbig on Bluesky, to have our cartoon characters take a photo around the Statue of Liberty. However, I noticed the photo of said statue was a bit crusty on the edges, so I did some research to find the original photo online. Once I found it, I fired up Photoshop and started restoring the image to look nice and clean without compromising the original artist's work. You will have to zoom in for this one but once you see them both, the difference is very noticeable.

AFTER:
Major thanks to my friend who paid for the YCH commission and towards the artist who drew our characters. You can find the artist here: https://bsky.app/profile/finnbig.bsky.social

Logo Parodies
For those who don't know, I help run a discord server and sometimes host game nights for the game Conker: Live & Reloaded. During those game nights, I stream & record the sessions and video edit them to be made into video compilations on my YouTube channel.
The Cafés Completos logo was based on a conversation about dream jobs that I had with Mr. Bonini while playing. While the other game title logos were based off from other players thinking about opposite game titles:
Sonic Colors = Sonic Monochrome Grand Theft Auto = Small Theft Auto Left4Dead = Right4Living
The conversation was so entertaining that I had to make parody logo/titles images to be used in a video compilation showcasing such memorable moments which you can view here:
osu! Gameplay Icon Modifiers
To start off actually showcasing my work, here's one that I did in my free time when I was customizing an existing skin I use as a base in osu! called Blueberry v2.5 by Enitoni.
You can download the original skin here: https://osu.ppy.sh/community/forums/topics/588355
I sometimes come back to play osu! every now and then and like most users, they will customize their skins to their own liking. For me, I decided to make some new icons for the gameplay modifiers, inspired by the two tone ones in osu!lazer. Went through all the game modes, as each one has their own dedicated icons mods before playing a song/beatmap.
Even went as far as make the icon for the Target Practice mod, which can only be played in the Cutting Edge build of the game. At least according to the osu! wiki page.
