senior graphic designer and video man formerly 50% of @thebonuspoints.com my bits and bobs:
A classic ranking video about “most popular game genre”. I also made up some genres to throw @parallaxretros.bsky.social hehe Watch it : youtu.be/GY203Mix7Ok?...
My account got hacked by a porn bot, they went mental for 24 hours ish. When recovering I got to see my face next to their comments so obviously saved the best ones. If you thought I was a pornstar and now you’re following me, sorry I’m a balding white dude 👍 I’ve removed it all the best I can.
Drew this cow today. Cant draw skies. Feeling somewhat strange in operation recovery mode. Hoping to be back to full power on Monday.
I now have a modded Wii set up in the corner of my office. Upcycled a little cabinet too.
New Dragon Quest mobile game means another great logo. Love the slime in the o. Can’t decide if the name is good or not haha
In my teens I tried to talk with a friend about what the Halo 2 “epos” vending machine might dispense 🤦. Never lived it down haha
Took a gamble on the switch title Dragon Ruins II based on some positive impressions online, and it totally owns. The illustrations for the characters/monsters are amazing too.
Was kinda dreading recording all the games for our GOTY episode but it’s a nice reminder of why we picked them
Also in Japan the graphic designers absolutely snapped. Great posters everywhere
When we went to Japan earlier this year my wife fell in love with the Tokyo metro safety posters. I snapped a pic of one at the time and recreated it in Illustrator as a surprise for her christmas present.
I had little play on Procreate last night after not using it for about a year. It’s all changed, and I’m sure for the better but I had no idea what I was doing haha. If anyone knows any recent good tutorials (especially for painting) let me know. #contemporary #painting
Shmup fans (and Tate fans) we are so back. Got this flip grip off Etsy. It’s also magnetic so the joycons snap in like on the switch 2!
Rare Item Studio was one of the best stores we went to in Japan. It is a retro game store but has more of a cozy vibe rather than the usual claustrophobic one. A bit out of the way in Akihabara, but worth the effort to find! They also had vinyl and books.
Shinjuku this evening. Absolutely chucked it down so only a couple of quick pics! (Godzilla is behind me and Joe!)
The lead characters literally work for the government lol. You can’t get more political than that! (I know they mean the wankstain made up definition of “political” but I’m choosing to not care)
