Hi, I Make Stuff

Hi, I'm Verstamech, Versta for short! I'm just a guy who draws, makes pixel art, and writes stories frequently. Check the FAQ for things and stuff.

Started a fun challenge

[verstamech]

My Hollow Knight obsession has yielded results of epic proportions

(Thumbnail poorly-drawn by yours truly)

[verstamech]

I don't think I've mentally processed the fact that, in some official capacity, Frisk has semi-canonically met Spamton

(The same unholy abomination on Bluesky)

[verstamech]

Inspired by the UT 10th Anniversary Stream

I'm tired guys

(Bsky version... if you for some reason want to see the same unholy abomination on Bluesky)

[verstamech]

It has been a LONG TIME since I first created these characters for my pipe dream of an original story and drew them sitting on a park bench together.

Link to the Bluesky Post for this Drawing

Five long years later, my writing skill has improved resulting in the story evolving into something almost unrecognizable from its roots, and my artstyle skill has skyrocketed in comparison to where it originally was.

Since I redesigned these two lovebirds recently, I felt it was only natural to remake this scene.

These are the original drawings, for comparison's sake.

The one from 2020 was previously on the blog, but I never released the 2021 iteration as I felt frustrated by my inability to draw backgrounds how I envisioned them in my head.

I decided to try and beat the Knight without the Shadow Mantle (Because why not)

DELTARUNE Chapters 3+4 - My First Impressions

My first impressions of DELTARUNE Chapters 3+40:00 - Wing Gaster Moment1:11 - Intro2:15 - Talking TV4:56 - Discount Zelda6:56 - Knight Jumps

A video from me talking about my first impressions of DELTARUNE Chapters 3+4

I don't know how GOOD this video is, it IS my first time making something like this, but I wanted to get it out there. Hoping this'll give me enough motivation to post more videos in general

Trying to move away from drawing in Photoshop and learning how to draw in Clip Studio Paint

It's definitely taking some getting used to, but already I can say that coloring things is SIGNIFICANTLY easier

(Bluesky post here)

Practice Track #2 - Nighttime Stroll

Finally made another track practicing my music skills. Of course, I can't promise it's good, but for my second ever track, I'm pretty proud

Second music track on my journey to trying to at least get competent in my music-making skills

Another long-lasting OC of mine who has been updated and redesigned. She's a necromancer whose cheery disposition contrasts the grim subject matter of the magic she excels at. (And, yes, she's part of the same project as Alayna Kasper, the other one I posted)

Her name is Janet Leanne, btw. Her old design is just a few posts down from this one

[verstamech]

Finally finished the redesign for one of my characters. 8 years ago, I first created her. After all this time, I think I can finally say I'm happy with her design

Maybe someday I'll publicly show her older designs, and maybe I'll even redraw them in my current artstyle, who knows?

(For those of you who have been following me for... a LONG LONG time, you'll recognize her as Alyssa Kasper (Now Alayna Kasper))

It's been over a decade of my life - I'd estimate around 13 years - since I first played Batman: Arkham Asylum

But, with my final act of banging Joker on Hard, I have finally 100% the game

[verstamech]

Underswap Grillby was the first Undertale-styled battlesprite I can remember ever making, all the way back in 2017

It's amazing what seven years of experience can do to your artstyle

[verstamech]

Designs for two characters of my own creation for my own original project. Top is their regular forms, bottom is their magic forms.

(We don't talk about the borked anatomy)

VERSOTALE - A King's Promise (Opening Cutscene)

(A perilous journey lies ahead. Who can blame her?)VERSOTALE is an Undertale/Deltarune fanproject where the humans lost the war and were sea

I promised I'd post the opening cutscene when I considered it ready enough to show off. Well... here it is! Enjoy.

[verstamech]

I did a thing

[verstamech]

I designed my own version of Harley Quinn

I've been thinking of how I'd design Batman's rogues gallery and even Batman himself in my own artstyle and design style, and I wanted to give a shot at a character who's been redesigned 50 million times over

I tried to combine elements from various Batman series, such as the Arkham games, the Animated Series, the newer Harley Quinn show, etc.

Thinking of maybe doing my own take on Joker's design next
