While browsing the fanart tags for Mewgenics I can't help but notice how people tend to color Marshmallow more pink than what she actually is in-game. She's meant to be the cleric class, which is supposed to be a white/off-white color, yet people like to color her pink??

I think I can kinda see where this comes from, though, as depending on the monitor/screen settings of the device you're looking at her off-white colors can look more pink than it really is. For example, my main monitor that's color balanced for art/gaming shows her more properly off-white/beige, while my second monitor used for chat clients/web browsing has the same color look just slightly more pink.

I'm not dunking on anyone whatsoever with this! Just a funny observation lmao.

Random question but, which enemy/boss was the hardest to make a turn order icon for? Like, which one had to go through a bunch of changes or just took a long time to look just right

The toughest ones for me weren't so much hard to draw, per say, but more of a technical nightmare for me to actually get them working right in game.

There are a lot of enemies that have a different form that they can go into and I made a corresponding portrait for the new appearance. Examples include Rat King and Spinneret when they go into rage mode, and the bone cat enemies when you make them fall apart. Enemies with one or two extra forms like this are easy to make since they just need an extra frame with a specifically named label on them. However, some of them had more forms to them that mix and match depending on what they do in-game, so I had to put had very specific labels, frame order, and properties into the flash symbols to get them to work properly.

Putting the rest under a cut cause it's a very late game Act 2 boss spoiler, plus mention of other late game bosses and enemies past that!

But yeah the real answer is Soahc because I had to make multiple frames with different properties in a specific order to get his portrait form changing work along side the in-game entity and it took way too long to get it the way I wanted it to show up in game.

He's the only one with a bunch changing of form variations I was able to get to work properly; I really wanted to get a similar thing working for Tormentor but the amount of combos he can have for his fight was too frustrating to try and organize and label properly. That's why his portrait doesn't mirror any of the buffs he can get in-game. And the Build-a-Stacy boss would've been even worse for me I'm not figuring out how to make 256 forms of Stacy work in a flash symbol LMAO

Wait, are you the one responsible for the Eagle's turn order portrait? The birds' turns always go by so fast there's barely time to see them, but it made me laugh when I realized he was saluting and crying a single manly tear.

Yep, that's me! I did all of the non-player cat turn order portraits you see in game, including all the birds. Those are honestly some of my favorite portraits; the pigeon is especially no thoughts head empty lmao

And now for some completely out-of-left field art since I'm currently done with my game dev work and I just wanna draw for fun again lmao.

I've been watching a friend play through the Kingdom Hearts series, and when he got to the Land of Dragons in KH2 it reminded me how much I love Mushu's design and it gave me the sudden urge to draw him. I can't help it I love dragons so much aaa//

Now that Mewgenics has been out for a bit, I think it's time I posted all these drawing requests I did during the hype period in the Mewgenics Discord! All of these were requested by others either in the chat or, in the case of the last doodle sheet there, during a drawing stream.

Anyway I'm glad people have been enjoying the game so much! And I'm still honored to have contributed to it in a such a major way 💕

A stupid comic I made for my bf yesterday based on that one comic meme. I totally didn't send him this the moment we got our food at the exact restaurant I based the food on lmao

[tikara]

I know I keep vanishing from posting art here over the past few years, but I have a good reason for it... I HELPED MAKE A VIDEO GAME!! AND IT'S REALLY GOOD!! All the reviews have been extremely positive!

I wish I could put into words how much it means to me to be so deeply involved in the creation on a critically acclaimed game that many people are enjoying, let alone a game that I myself have been excited for since 2013... but that'll probably be for another time when I actually know what to say haha...

It's out right now on Steam, so go buy it at Mewgenics.com!

This month so far has been A Lot for me and I felt like I had to draw something tonight, so have a scratchy lookin critter that ended up appearing on my canvas as I was drawing.

It's SGDQ time again! Here's all the art I made this week for all the games run for a wonderful cause! Now including Joy, the microraptor mascot for Black in a Flash! Game sources are in the alt text descriptions.

It's Make a Terrible Comic Day again!! I guess the theme I'm doing with these is drawing OCs I never use and putting them in stupid situations lmao

Krita is really bad at her persuasion checks.

Happy Pride Month RH tumblr, to celebrate I'm posting this image I made in 2022 but never shared anywhere because I'm still shy about posting my ship related art aa///
