Still Battling Some Internal Demons: Designing This Dress For Kitana Helped!

Still battling some internal demons: designing this dress for Kitana helped!

Recording AND judging 😂

More Chaotix family shenanigans!

Dya think Espio ever uses his invisibility to just “nope” on out of embarrassing situations?

I’ve re-discovered Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the realm. Cheesy? Yes, undoubtedly. Lovable? Oh absolutely. In terms of character chemistry, it’s got that hint of found-family that pretty much drives me and severely untapped comedy potential. (And weirdly, that carries over into the main game narrative, which I’m absolutely delighted to find out?? Ya know, considering what Mortal Kombat is most renowned for??)

Anyway, Nightwolf has always been my absolute favourite out of the roster, but more so in the cartoon. He’s just got “team’s tech-head little brother” vibes that I can’t NOT build on here! …And I just love the idea of Kiba getting into mischief on Nightwolf’s behalf.

…Not sure if I just wanna go full throttle and create a whole little series of doodles in the same vein as what X-Men: Evolution was to the X-Men series. Really tempted.

You just made my day!! I’m so touched to hear that, too! 😭 Honestly, I’ve had these little sketches brewing at the back of my mind for years, but I was always too skittish to see them through; but I’m so glad that I did because it’s some of the most fun I’ve had in ages!!

It’s nice to know I’m not alone in feeling that Espio isn’t quite so above it all. Yes, he is an undoubtedly talented and capable ninja, dedicated to his craft and proud of it…but he’s also still sixteen years old.

And I mean that in the best possible way! I would not have been this zen at sixteen!

Also, head-canon that because he’s basically the team dad/dad friend/promoted to parent, Vector hears a LOT of “Bo-oooss” being called like that whiny “Daa-aaad” noise and can do zippo about it.

Oddworld: The Promised Neverland Homages (pt. 5)

Aka: my excuse to finally abuse the light pens in the name of art!!

I still can’t get over how well The Promised Neverland’s imagery lends itself to Oddworld…quite possibly because they’re pretty much the same concept, but still. I mean, fundamentally, Abe is absolutely a different character to Emma: he’s more reluctant in some respects and clearly doesn’t relish any of the danger he has to face…but he still loves his family. That moment where he hears gunshots and worriedly murmurs “The others…” is proof enough of that and it’s still as effective and powerful as Emma declaring that she never wants to lose another sibling to shipping.

That’s what I was hoping to convey most in this image—what the portal represents. Freedom, relief, safety; not necessarily for Abe, but for all the Mudokons we’ve helped him ferry to safety…or lost in one misstep.
