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...

This is the first time I'm revealing the last post background I made for my joltbux shop. (Note: Creators cannot make free shop items.)

Proud of how this one turned out. I made the mist effect in Blender and painted the scene in Krita.

Happy weekend!

Folded this origami wood duck to send to a relative who collects duck decoys.

Hope everyone is well and staying warm—it's been very cold where I am, so I'm bundling up and staying close to the woodstove.

Lots of love, and wishing you all a good week!

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!

Looks like KniteBlargh is blasting off agaaaain! •ᴧ•

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

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!

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

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.

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...

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

Wishing you all an excellent weekend!
