Mind-numbing facts relating to Speed Racer's Japanese title follow... Enter at your own risk.


(1) In Japan, Speed Racer's title = Mach ("mahha") GoGoGo.
(2) The Japanese name for the main character, Speed Racer, = Go Mifune.
(3) "Go" = 5 in Japanese.
(4) "Go" in English = to move or proceed.
(5) Go Mifune's car's name = Mahha-go.
(6) The Japanese character pronounced "go" in Mahha-go does not mean 5, but actually means "item number."
(7) Taking the above into consideration, the show's title, Mahha GoGoGo, means "Mach-go Go Mifune Go!"
(8) The M on Speed Racer's helmet can both stand for his Japanese surname "Mifune" and "Mahha-go."
(9) Similarly, the G on Speed's shirt could stand for his first name "Go," or even be a reference to the number 5.
(10) Gogogo is a general Japanese sound effect for rumbling.

I know some of you think the Game Jolt staff is full of puns, and yes we are, but my goodness if this isn't on a completely different level...

Wooow, thank you so much for the background, @Efe69888 !

It's hard to believe it's been over a year since I made this background, wut... Made it back in July of 2024. Blender, of course.

Been a crazy busy week for me so far. Hope everyone's well!

More pig.

Don't worry, I went back and drew the eyelashes later with a bigger brush after lining the rest of the piglets.

This dude was tricky for me. Took me a couple tries.

Wishing you all an excellent weekend!

Looks like KniteBlargh is blasting off agaaaain! •ᴧ•

... Wait, that's from the wrong anime.

Another climbing floral surface pattern design I made for home décor and fabrics. I was inspired by a patchwork top and also a porcelain dish.

Hope everyone's day has been going as well as possible. Been a busy one for me! Lots of yardwork.

Hold on to your seat, Grandpa! I'm determined to catch up with my notifications!

Pig.

Hello, hope everyone's week is off to a good start!

Here's a little illustration featuring Mai that I drew to print on a thank-you letter I sent off to some friends.

My image host was trying to tell me that my collection of Speed Racer gifs suddenly didn't exist, and I was PANICKING. Wound up just being some weird glitch solved by signing out and signing back in. Phew...

Here's a fabric pattern (and variations) I made for a challenge with the theme "craft maximalism." I prefer minimalism, so I wasn't very hyped to participate, but managed to make something I liked.

Also, thank you so much for 20k followers!
