This week's mascots are pretty much inseparable, so I'm introducing them all at once.

Bio below. v


The Social Butterflies

Joined Game Jolt: 2012

Hobbies: Light gossip, communal flower gardening

Dislike: Synthetic fragrances

Bio: Tim, Tam, and Tom (from left to right), known as the Social Butterflies by all and sundry, grew up together in a small country village. They have always been close friends, minus a few childhood squabbles, and share a desire to contribute to the health and happiness of their community. In their free time, they enjoy good conversation, along with cultivating an organically grown communal flower garden. When there's news to be heard, one can always count on these three to know even the smallest details of a matter!

Author's notes:

It's probably pretty obvious that these three represent the various communication-centric features of GJ, such as comments, the forums, and so on. I like to think of their positivity and peaceful surroundings as being a sort of model of the ideal community vibe we could hope for here on Game Jolt.

Since the community is such a tremendous focus here, the butterflies have been used in lots of different ways on the site. At times, when I've received an assignment to create a new graphic, it's actually been hard not to think "Tim, Tam, and Tom would be perfect for that," because they're so easy to use in various scenarios.

The second image I included was made for an article about two years ago. It's a favorite of mine, because it really emphasizes the strong team spirit shared by these lovable characters.

No pranks from me.

Just a reminder that Blarghfield exists.

Lasagna.

Doodled a cute little Noki for #FanArtFriday.

Wishing you all an excellent weekend!

Pear blossoms!

I've finally added a channel to my gallery community for photos, by the way... LOL My photos are just point & shoot, nothing fancy, but it will help me keep track of what I've shared with you all.

Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!

Here's a surface pattern design I painted that was inspired by an embroidered jacket. You can probably see I used an arch motif as a guide for this one. I think it looks really cool for upholstery (chair mockup courtesy of Spoonflower).

This week's Fan Art Friday celebrates KPop Demon Hunters! Accept the quest in your quest log to get started.

Here's a fun one I made for Spoonflower's delft tiling surface pattern design challenge. Of course I had to theme my entry around chickens, because... I mean, come on... Chickens! #ChickenTrender

Here's another one of my recent surface patterns, inspired by ogee prints, 1920s décor, and early Art Nouveau design. I actually pulled the palettes from an interior design book published in the late 1920s—very fun!

@Benaiez is a Jolter to Watch and game dev! Follow @Benaiez before the quest ends on April 14 and you'll get Coins!

Here's a photo from one of my recent walks! I think daffodils have to be one of the most welcome sights after a long cold winter.

It's chilly again today, but I have the wood stove fired up and cranking out the heat! Hope everyone's doing well.
