Today I sketched this, from a photo I took in my backyard. I definitely think I've improved from the beginning, though I have a long way to go. I haven't even touched colour yet 😬 Let's see what the next year brings!
Along the way I practiced on random stuff around my desk and attempted some Gundam.
I went through an entire how to draw birds book, and found the very helpful lessons of John Muir Laws.
I did a couple of 30-day YouTube drawing courses (though they took me longer than 30 days) going over shapes and perspective and facial proportions.
Today marks one year since I decided to learn how to draw! I haven't taken an art class since middle school and had no idea where to start. I just went with whatever exercises I could find: this upside-down Picasso, grid drawings from photos...
I've been prototyping a little gardening game in love2D and it's going well! So far I've got weeds popping up when you save your game and then load it again the next day.
#9: SteamWorld Quest. Another SteamWorld banger! In contention for my fave even?? There's some great character work and strategic party planning hiding under the surface of this funny robot game.
#8: Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. Pretty standard FE gameplay, but the writing is upper tier. Ike is a great protagonist, and FE is always better when it has to reckon with class. I don't love that accepting lordship was how he promoted, though.
Me watching Cruising (1980): oh wow the sound design is so interesting, i love these choices
The Power of Pride bundle is out now! For the price of a single AAA game you can support HUNDREDS of queer creatives and grab a ton of cool art, including my very personal and vulnerable visual novel, HIS OWN BEING. Pay queer creatives this Pride!! itch.io/b/3682/the-p...
Last year I released my most vulnerable work to date, HIS OWN BEING. The adult content crackdown happened immediately after, and I was sure my game would just not be seen. So to see now so many people not only playing and liking it thanks to the @ddmarket.online bundle, but really GETTING it? 🥹
Oooooh boy, Perfect Mirror by @oralmenace.bsky.social is so gorgeous and heart-wrenching and deliciously fucked up and you can read it as part of the Don's Dead Market bundle! Lucky you!! ddmarket.online
Buying the @ddmarket.online bundle doesn't just get you a ton of hot gay art (including my clonecest VN, HIS OWN BEING). It also nets you a ticket to the market in June, where I'll be running an exclusive discount on my other gay sex game, DESERT OF ASH! Don't miss out!! ddmarket.online
#6: Let's Go to Heaven. A desolate sci-fi mood piece. Do I understand what happened in this? Not really. Do I care? Nope! The vibes are just that bad (complimentary). (This VN will be part of the @ddmarket.online bundle, which you can grab in less than a week!)
#5: Pinup. I love to see what folks are able to accomplish in VNs with minimalist visuals, definitely taking notes 👀🖋️ (This VN will be part of the @ddmarket.online bundle, which you can grab in less than a week!)
Don's Dead Market is coming soon! My experimental photographic visual novel, HIS OWN BEING, will be part of the bundle, fully uncensored! "Desperately lonely at the height of COVID lockdowns, a young gay man cries out, and receives an answer—in a perfect double of himself."
#4: Picross S4. Is it me or did they ramp up the difficulty for this one? Some of those 15x15 mega puzzles were real stumpers!
This is what it looks like outside, so she may have had the right idea...
Did one of these! Legend of Mana could easily have taken a few other spots, but I tried to keep it interesting.
I found a How to Draw Birds book in my partner's mom's basement and have been using it for practice. It's honestly terrible for a beginner: too few steps, and very inconsistent between them. That said, here are some of my best birds.
#3: The Room Two. More tactile puzzle goodness, although leans less puzzle box and more puzzle room, leading to more moments of looking around aimlessly for the next clue.
HIS OWN BEING, my kinetic visual novel about a guy who gets so lonely he conjures an identical double of himself, will be part of this bundle, FULLY UNCENSORED, no patch required!!
Had a wild game of Camel Up last night. Behold, the rare quintuple camel stack! 🐪 🐪 🐪 🐪 🐪
This section isn't about the sports and hobbies OF birds, but this image sure makes it seem like it will be.
