OMG it’s the insulid phasmid from Disco Elysium!

the term "phasmid," meaning "stick insect," comes from a latin word meaning "apparition" or "phantom," due to the creatures' ability to hide in plain sight, and then move around and scare people.

the largest phasmids likely remain undiscovered; the longest insect known to science was a phasmid from a species that remains formally unnamed and undescribed, even since being captured for the first time in china in 2014.

a female specimen of the quasi-mythical australian species of gargantuan stick insect was sought by a curator of museum victoria for three years before he encountered one, also in 2014. upon realizing what it was, he says, “I started screaming."

I just had a massive realization.

"The number of hours we have together is actually not so large. Please linger near the door uncomfortably instead of just leaving. Please forget your scarf in my life and come back later for it."

Just the most basic level possible to test out the platforms and sprites, and some backgrounds.   We know Mother Base is supposed to be hexagonal, but that geometry is way too complicated to depict in a 2D 8-bit-ish environment!   There will most definitely be a Hello Kitty AK-47.  After all, this is 1974 and that’s about the time when Hello Kitty first appeared.  

Oh god look what I found toward the beginning of my nearly full sketchbook. Hahaha. They’ve been with me during all my travels and experiences the past few years!

Posting this so I can't lose it in the pile of my Tumblr likes. And because it's the original artist, holy crap!

My “draw the squad” memes so far

Reblogging because I made a trailer, yay!

Unstable Scientific Pre-pre-pre Alpha trailer, mostly made as part of the Seattle Indies Expo submission.  It was so fun making the metal-impact effects for the logo!  

Animation for fultoning prisoners for our MGS fangame Peace Day - this one looks suspiciously like Chico.  That boy’s always getting into trouble.
