The 2025 game I've been working on, Clockwork Cleanup, is now available (for free)! It's a puzzle autobattler where you place tiles in a grid to control combat. Each tile needs to be connected to sources of elemental energy via pipes. store.steampowered.com/app/4158400/... #indiegame #godot #gamedev

Here's a few production sketches of MAC that I made while I was figuring out what he looked like in non-pixel form. Just a reminder, Clockwork Cleanup is available now for free on Steam and itch! store.steampowered.com/app/4158400/... #gamedev #indiegame

I guess it's time to repost this. #silksong

Squirrel Girl and Jeff! (and Tippy-Toe)

I just played the demo of Constance, a gorgeous platformer with a painting protagonist. It feels very satisfying to move around, but it can be quite challenging. Give the demo a look before it's gone!

Luna putting in some time at the gym. Whether any actual exercise occurs remains to be seen. I had the urge to draw lava lamp Luna in a ponytail, so here we are. #mlp #furry

Rainbow Dash is an auteur. #mlp

I hear gifs work now if you post them as videos. Time to dust off those old animations. #mlp

I saw an adorable pic of Amy dressed as Riamu Yumemi from iDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls by AetherionArt and I just couldn't resist drawing her myself. Blaze and Rouge's outfits are based on some promotional art from Fate/Grand Order. #SonicTheHedgehog

In light of their recent #DeathBattle , let us remember the friendlier times...

Fanart of Maelyth the Astral Goth Witch. This is one of the witches designed by @squeaky.bsky.social . Their characters always have such great color schemes!

Fanart of the ferret vtuber Limealicious Her design is very cute; the pale pink and green are quite soothing.

Ellen Joe from #ZenlessZoneZero Continuing the proud tradition of Hoyoverse fanart for games I've never played.

Unused title screen for Aetheric Twilight. I wanted to do something like this for the title screen of our game, but ran out of time. I wanted to finish it so there'd be a non-pixel version of our little alchemist hero somewhere. Check it out if you're interested: dstears.itch.io/aetheric-twi...

My friends and I just completed our first game jam game for the Pirate Software Game Jam! Aetheric Twilight is kinda a Pipe Dream rogue-like auto-battler where your pipe setup dictates your actions in combat. We are quite proud of it. Check it out below! dstears.itch.io/aetheric-twi...

I got a chance to play the relatively obscure SegaSonic the Hedgehog arcade game recently. It was the debut of Mighty the Armadillo and Ray the Flying Squirrel. It was a pretty cool bit of history. Controlling Sonic with a trackball is novel, but fairly frustrating. #SonicTheHedgehog

Myke ( @mykegreywolf.art ) started a "Draw this in your style" with his character Nat and I had to oblige. (I'm never sure if DTIYS is supposed to be the exact pose or just drawing the character in your style, so here's one of each) #furryart

Ms. Scylla from Modern MoGal out on the town. I just love that she's ink-related and her colors are CMYK :) Modern MoGal is made by shepherd_0821 on twitter. #furry #furryart

I think Ben Schwartz has been type-cast as "the blue one". (Is it still a "high five" if it's between three characters with 3, 4, and 5 fingers?) #SonicTheHedgehog #DuckTales #RiseOfTheTMNT

Les Caneton Terribles (Spoilers for the Ducktales series finale from 3 years ago) Just an old man and his three clones. #DuckTales #MetalGearSolid

It's March 7th! It's March 7th! #HonkaiStarRail #March7th

Ousia Furina Trixie Furina's design meshes well with Trixie's. They've got similar hair and both seem to love the spotlight. And according to the wiki, Furina is "flamboyant and overconfident". Sounds about right. #art

Welcome to the Maid Six Cafe! Enjoy your stay. Their outfits are based on saxopi's designs. (Originally posted Aug 2023)

Klee's Blossoming Starlight outfit is just too cute and I had to draw it. #art #GenshinImpact (Originally posted Aug 2023)

Shikabane from Aggretsuko season 5. I like her design. #furryart (Originally posted August 2023)

Elphelt Valentine in her Guilty Gear Strive outfit. No longer a waifu, but still a top-tier waifu.

Office otter Nat. She's Myke's (@mykegreywolf.art) character. (Originally posted July 2023)

Here's some highlights from 2023. A few of these were pretty ambitious plus I was working on art for my game(s), so I'm honestly surprised at my output. Who knows what 2024 will bring. Onward!

Scott Pilgrim Takes Off was pretty fun. I'm glad the supporting cast got more time to shine. Anyway, here's Amy in some of Ramona's outfits. #furryart #SonicTheHedgehog

I drew this after the Twitter rebrand. Tweetfur was a pretty cute trend for a bit. #art #furryart (originally posted July 2023)

Wanted to draw some villain dads with their kids. I got inspired by that one ending screen from The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog; you know the one. #SonicTheHedgehog (originally posted July 2023)

I'm quite fond of this alternate outfit for Ganyu. Glasses + ruffles + that thing where cloth is a different pattern on each side :) (Originally posted May 2023)

Gift for Nittany Discord of their OC Cold Front. The dress is based on some promotional art from Quintessential Quintuplets.

The Moushley trend was too good to pass up. (Originally posted April 2023)

Skittle encounters the perils of airbrushing when you're the same size as the mini. A gift for Rainbowlicious.
