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...

Pig.

This is a printable stationery page I drew for a friend I was writing a letter to. He loves redwood trees.

For future stationery designs, I probably wouldn't tint the background unless I added a fancy fading border/frame.

Hope the weekend goes as well as possible for you all!

Looks like KniteBlargh is blasting off agaaaain! •ᴧ•

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

Art rave on a Tuesday.

The Tetrisphere soundtrack goes hard. Good game, too, by the way—an N64 classic. If you ever get the chance to play it, play it.

Just casually working on a submission for a surface pattern design challenge.

More pig.

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

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...

Wowowow, 3rd place!

Congratulations to @silverxcristal and @ThePinkGlitch ! Awesome to see some new names in the results this year.

Big ol' thank you to the Digital Art community and everyone who voted for me! Love y'all.
