This week, #GJAsks who my favorite video game villain is. There's so many great ones it's hard to pick just one.

Some of my favorites (and why I like them) are 🔽


King K. Rool

I love his design and also find the idea of a pirate king really fun. I know the old Rareware site said that King K. Rool took the bananas to starve the Kongs so he could get their island, but I like the sillier take that he just REALLY likes bananas and refuses to let anyone get in his way.

Darth Nihilus

This character is a fun exploration of a Sith as an unknowable Eldritch force rather than an evil knight or lord. His hunger for power is so great that it has sapped even his physical form. By the time of KOTOR 2, he's just a spirit in a mask and armor. (Apparently his design was inspired by No-Face from Spirited Away.)

Doctor Eggman

He's an icon for a reason. He's such a proto-typical mad scientist and the idea of turning Sonic's friends into robots is so diabolical.

I really enjoyed the demo of #AetherAndIron!

I customized my car to look like an N1 Starfighter and the yellow car from George Lucas' American Graffiti.

amy looks so cute

The demo was fun and the world was really cool, so happy to add Aether & Iron to my wishlist! #AetherAndIronWishlist

One of the striking pieces of worldbuilding in Aether & Iron is how the floating NYC rests on the backs of an exploited and stigmatized underclass of “Aether Rats.”

I drew Lexi and Maria w/ swirling halftone eyes to evoke their gifts.

#MyTrapper is wearing a snazzy orange helmet. I love the look! It reminds me of crash test dummies and Rebel pilots.
