Mira carrying a set of bizarre pillows strapped to her back like a makeshift backpack. She's wearing baggy clothes and heavy spikes on her shoes for the oncoming ice climb. Walking across the tiles, she is followed by a little floating orb being, vaguely resembling a spiky, golden clamshell.

"Pillow deliveries pay well, but the region is suprisingly cold and require specialty footware to not slip on the ice once you get there. At least its easy to carry..."

Finished up the sketch I did. Possibly my final art of the year. Strangely, this the first time I've ever fully shaded Mira

Congratulations to the Excellence Award Winners for Mega Man 12! I'd be happy if any one of these outstanding designs made it into the game, and I can't wait to see which one does. You all did great!

Congratulations to the designer of Cactus Man for making it to the top 6 finalist of the MegaMan DO Robot Master contest, here hoping he makes it as part of the main boss roster.

To quote myself: "Logically speaking, my CactusMan design doesn't make sense for Capcom to choose for this game."

Anyway, it just made it to the top 6

A new level requires a new enemy. Which requires temp art. The Blimpolini arrives!

I don't tend to share my pixel art as I'm making it, but I've been working on some very large assets for this new windmill level in Vikings on Trampolines. I mean... you know Owlboy, I have to have my clouds.

And now, in action! When they inflate, Chapfish are quite a hazard, even if they have to hold their breath to do it.

This only really matters to me, but its been an unbelievably productive week, and internal deadlines are on schedule.

Spring is around the corner and there's new options on the horizon. I'm going to cling to that speck of hope like I'm freaking welded to it.

Glow-up? More like... blow up? (Chapfish are balloon fish after all.)

Lottie the calico cat looking like she would sell you a used parachute on a falling plane. She is also in some bramble.

The full lineup of the old Megaman X9 project. Mosquito, Fox and Possum were based on ideas I started when I was around 8, so this stuff is ancient. Hell, I replaced other bosses with Crane, Hermit, Giraffe, Porcupine and Angler because Capcom made the same boss ideas later.

Regardless of what happens, there's a sub-clause that indicates they might use the design for *something* if they find it interesting, despite not winning. So who knows!
