This week we revealed our game, Bandwagon! It's such a fun project to work on :) It's still relatively early, we need some feedback to make the best version of this adventure/survivor-like game! So please join the upcoming playtest if you have some time (starting very soon!), thank you! #gamedev

Here's a classic drawing I did for @goawayimcrabby.bsky.social, inspired by the way she draws herself. Or at least, how she did when she gave herself longer hair. Sam is doing great at posting and building a community out there, and she's doing great as the boss of Cheekynauts Entertainment!

Our spring postcard is ready to ship to qualifying tiers on our Patreon page! I'm gonna mail em out on Monday, so I better get writing! This post doubles as my burnout check-in. Enjoy my descent into madness~ 😉 www.patreon.com/posts/156465... Artwork by me and @ainrueda.bsky.social 💜

Messing around with some character designs. Trying to push the shapes and have some fun with it.

Working on some old designs. New <-> Old

hey folks, I could use a little push across the finish line this month, so I invite y'all to check out my free pixel font, and leave a donation if you like! datagoblin.itch.io/monogram if not, I hope you enjoy the font all the same 💚

Please enjoy this new art! It's a sketchbook page I shared before, featuring this cool tough woman named Meredith Black, an original character from Azure Claw Comics! But now, I've colored it, which I think really brings out something!

Greetings, #PortfolioDay! It is I, Crabby Sam - the one that does #pixelart and works endlessly on her #gamedev project, #Moonshell_Island. The demo's nearly ready to pitch for funding, but I lost my job and would love your support: patreon.com/cheekynauts ko-fi.com/goawayimcrabby Thank you! 🦀💜

#PORTFOLIODAY2025 #portfolioday Portfolio day! I’m Ainhoa, a cartoon character designer from Spain~ I currently work as a freelance concept artist for an upcoming indie game.

Playing around with the design of a spider demon lady.

Some people think game dev an indulgent hobby, but I've never worked so hard, risked so much, overcame so many challenges, or faced so many fears in my life. The level of expectation and lack of resources to live up to them is insane. Please support indie devs. We need it. patreon.com/cheekynauts

Merry Christmas!
