This blog probably isn’t going anywhere. But, if you’re going somewhere and you want to keep up with me here’s my twitter.

8-directions!

Technically it’s a 5-point turn with some repeated frames and shading adjustments...

But I’m calling it done now. Other than the couple of adjustments I’ll likely make before I start actually animating them anyway(Croak’s coat is doing a weird thing that makes it look like he’s squatting for a second, for instance). >.>

Harvey’s coming to assassinate me. It would be really [unfortunate] if I lost power or some other misfortune and that continued past Sonic Mania’s PC release date. It’s not like I wanted to play that or anything.

1-5 for the ask?

Dyre is my oldest character still in use. She used to be someone entirely different (not pictured, never drawn, was a super cheesy mary sue vampire lady when I was ten), so I suppose she fits for both 1 and 2?

Creating Glimmer, and the Mr Friendly idea that spawned from it, made me realize there’s quite a bit from my childhood that I haven’t quite gotten over.

It’s also brought to light my absolute love of friendly monsters and stoked the fires of my obsession with cute and creepy things… >.>

Mitra began as a side character, then nuisance, and at one point the antagonist. She’s since taken over the story and become the main protagonist.

I prefer humanoids. Ladies, specifically. Whether they have monster or animal bits, detachable bits, extra bits, or are only considered humanoid because they walk on two legs - doesn’t much matter, I just like drawing ladies.

Made myself a vague little dev plan.

Starts Monday.

Sharing so someone can randomly yell at me to get back to it.

---- More details on this “plan” below ----

Sugar and Spice Demo

   Mostly complete. I want to fiddle with the art a bit, rework the level design to better explain the controls and apply all the feedback I received from what is actually out. But overall, it's all in there. It just needs some love. So hopefully it wont take long to fix it all up, if I actually focus on it and stop procrastinating like a doofus.

Private Croak 

   Intended as a very short puzzle/adventure thing, so it shouldn't take long to do - I'm hoping no more than six months of actually working on it regularly.

Patreon 

   Can be set up at anytime, very easily, the issue is keeping up with it so Patrons feel they are getting a decent deal in supporting it (which seems a little difficult with dev-only pages unless working on one specific project). Would probably set it up as soon as the Sugar demo is completed. It would focus on Private Croak until that is finished and then switch to Sugar for the remainder of the dev-time I'll need for that. (ideas on this are welcome though)

These two buddies again.

New portrait for the HUD.

Because I had it already and just needed to make the expressions for it.
