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.

A minimal surface pattern design inspired by lotus pods. Neutral designs are very popular for wallpaper, so trying to work more of those into my collection.

Squirrel friend almost ate a walnut from my hand! I think I was shaking too much and startled her, though. I was holding a really weird position with like, half my body hanging out the window, and the outside cold air was blasting me.

Wanted to try my hand at making a playful minimalist floral pattern, specifically with wallpaper in mind. Probably one of the easiest things I've ever made, but I think the effect is fun.

Hey, hope everyone is doing well today.

Here's a little mograph experiment I made using Blender and Krita. If it doesn't load right away, try refreshing the page or something.

Wishing you all a lovely weekend!

Big thank you to my top ten supporters, and everyone who sends charged stickers my way—it means a lot.

Getting ready to do a little volunteer work with friends this morning. I'm all bundled up—it's chilly out there. Stay cozy, y'all.
