edited after poll ended- Aug 3 2025: you know... I've been thinking... if using ai art as a reference for a drawing is bad (if you think it's bad)... then using real art as a reference is not good either... because ai art takes art from people without permission... so using real art without permission as a reference is bad too... but wouldn't a real photo as a reference be bad too if it's not your's? i mean I guess if they say it's ok, then it's not bad... but you can't ask everyone which makes it hard and confusing... how would you know if it's ok if you can't ask them or tell if it's ok without permission...? right...? i also think using a games art style is stealing too... i think it's dumb when people make money off of it... it's someone's art style after all... how would you feel if someone took your art style...

I made some Miis

Delphox and Katress..

cause why not...

2nd pic: edited a bit in Miitopia... I'm not finished yet! i don't know when I'll finish... i just did basic stuff...

the 3rd & 4th picture are what moves I gave them for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate..

i have a theory..

it's probably a stretch..

but..

Mimic 1 (M1) is Roxanne Wolf

i thought of this today when I was watching Markiplier's new Secret of the Mimic video..

read the article for context..

hopefully no one's thought of this..

spoilers by the way

Starting to work on coloring another page of the comic !

This one has a very different color palette and I hope I won't struggle to much with the scenes by night because I have a lot of them in the comic :')

#GJAsks what's my favorite enemy design in gaming?

does this count?

i mean it's a boss...

i don't know...

i can't really think right now...

there's so many enemies that I like...

i just thought about the most recent one I saw that I liked...

i just watched "A Minecraft Movie."

i wasn't intending to watch it in theaters, but my uncle asked if I wanted to go see it with his nephew, and i was like, "yeah ok..."

I'm not really a Minecraft fan...

it was ok... i guess...

this movie's ridiculous....
