Bandai Namco announced a new dev studio (Bandai Namco Studio 2 & Studio S) for commissioned projects. Notably, this particular portion of Bandai Namco staff have mostly been involved with development of numerous major Nintendo titles, including the Super Smash Bros. franchise, Mario Kart 8, ARMS, and many more.
Coinciding with the above news, Bandai Namco Studio 2 & Studio S seem to be the team working on a remaster/remake of a 3D action game for Nintendo that was revealed early last year by a job listing calling for someone experienced with HD remastering of 3D backgrounds. Another job listing for the studio mentions "construction of stage specifications," "level designs," and "side-view action games" also commissioned by Nintendo, but it's unknown as to whether this is related to the same exact project.
At the very end of a video released yesterday by the creator of the Super Smash Bros. games—most recently Super Smash Bros. Ultimate—(and more), Masahiro Sakurai, it was confirmed that he is "still creating games." It is currently unknown what role he is taking this time around. Sakurai has famously sacrificed his own health on many past occasions for the sake of meticulous direct involvement in each of his game's development cycles, so hopefully this pattern is not being repeated yet again. Remember, y'all, rest when you need to.

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.

Who's excited for the new Kirby Air Riders? 
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.

I was spending some time with a friend who is in the hospital after having a stroke. She said:
Friend: "I heard you're an artist." Me: "Yes!" Friend: "You haven't drawn anything for me." Me: "
"
Here's a sketch of something I'm working on for her.
