"Galaga" kit from Wave. Reimagined by Kow Yokoyama of Maschinenkrieger fame. Mate of mine said the front looked like a beak, so I decided to give it a mallard paintjob and have some fun with it. Pretty happy how it turned out.

After nearly 2 years of not building anything, I started a wellness kit some weeks ago and finished that. To get back into model building. Ship is the Solvalou from the "Xevious" arcade game. Kit by Wave inc.

Sanhe ancient town in Anhui, China. Shots from last summer.

From late summer in Hefei, China.

Jingdezhen in Jiangxi province. Famous ceramics / porcelain village.

I always forget, that I can actually post here. Here are some pics from Hefei during summer.

“My family thinks I’m at work, just like they used to think I was in school.” With tens of thousands of arcades shuttered from decades of policy and changing lifestyles, Xu Shouzhong’s arcade is the last one left in Shenyang, a time capsule for the heady days of youth.

Roaming around. Hefei, Anhui, China.

Might as well post more pics. All shot in Hefei, Anhui, China.

Lujiang in Anhui province, China.

evil toilets - finished up some cursed drawings from the workshop last week and added a few more ideas. the cheese grater one was a true S+ collaborative effort

Hui Yuan in Hefei, China.

Designing dense Chinese characters presents a paradox: increasing the weight of the strokes can compromise legibility, yet insufficient weight fails to harmonise with the visual weight of Latin letters. Read more about creating very dark Chinese characters: www.typotheque.com/articles/chi...

Shopping mall assortment from Hefei, China. And a bonus sunset.

Older piece for fun. I liked the idea of a jet unit forced to use a gigantic, heavyweight arm-module in an emergency, gambling it won't immediately collapse under the pressure before its deployed. #pixelart #ドット絵

Random pics from Hefei, China..

The artwork of #PowerDolls by Yoshiyuki Takani used on the cover of the #MSDOS, #PC98, and #FMTowns releases in Japan. The North American release used the mech with a bland background. Usual upscale/clean/retouch process applied.

Custom pixel-fonts. Looking into finishing these up soon-ish & releasing them on itch.io later this year. Currently around 30 different fonts. Several of them come in different sizes. #pixelart #font #pixelfont #typography

It's about time I post a cat again!

(more) Doom

Great fireblu skull.

Found out today that ver 1.10 of ChoRenSha68k was ported to Windows recently. It has updated graphics (mostly BG art), Joystick remapping, volume options, some more screen stuff (decent CRT effect too). Awesome update of a classic doujin STG #indiegames #STG Download here: tinyurl.com/CRS68k110

2024 Chinese animated films continue to have some of the best posters.

Everyone discussing the term "Shmups" and the correct term was "Shumps" all along!

"Nezha 2" is coming in chinese theaters on January 29. Sequel to the 2019 film that grossed 5 billion yuan (700 million dollars) and became the highest-grossing Chinese animated film of all time. Trailer >> www.bilibili.com/video/BV1zpr...

After I'd finished putting Yoshiyuki Takani's page on my website, I noticed that he'd deleted his Twitter account and closed his website a few days ago. It won't be long before his online shop follows suit. vgdensetsu.net/2_YoshiyukiT... 1/4

This 2025 stop calling yourself a "content creator" You're an artist, graphic designer, a video editor, an entertainer, musician, a streamer, a cook, a craftsman, an animator, a storyteller, a writer, a painter, a woodworker, a tailor... You are not a faceless "content" machine.

Warmest spot in the house!

Damn...

Happy 30th anniversary, Heretic!

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends: 1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration; 2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you; 3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

The artwork of #InvadersFromMars (1986) by Takashi Terada used on the Japanese release of the movie. Just a simple upscale with a slight clean/retouch applied. This is one fine piece of 80s sci-fi (and gotta love the monster's grin)!

Lovely cover art!

One of my favourite albums. When it released back then it was not as positively received as the band's first effort, if I recall correctly. Now in hindsight it seems to have established itself as a genuine classic!

This did frickin astronomical numbers on Twitter, so hi Bluesky you get it now too

Bsky gif test: Greeble texture I made for Quake. The workflow here is taking parts from another texture I made, which I scaled up and blurred, and using that as a base (I have made many of those bases and call them "blur babies") From there on it is mostly stream of consciousness work. #pixelart

Throwback to when I was still making maps for Doom. Made only three in total and the map "Hurt" was my magnum opus, meaning it was huge and took way too long to make. And gameplay sucked. Might get back into mapping some day.

Wing Commander 3 turns 30 years old today. To celebrate have a look at some WC logos, which I vectorized a couple of years back. Some of these are true works of art.

Kinda cyberpunk and steampunk at the same time.

Quick reminder that "Project Horned Owl" is one of the more underrated light gun shooters on the PSone.

More cat content is needed..

The most badass screenshot.
