welcome to the compound
Yeah! Whatever!
I’ve been trying to keep up a good (but not daily) drawing pace this month so far so I spend less time feeling rusty and crappy and also experiment a bit more. It’s been ages since I tried to just paint something without guidelines, so here’s a little speedpaint of V1 from Ultrakill. Only took an hour or two, really.
With RGL’s Shmuptember marathon coming to an end and Steam’s shmup sale apparently beginning, I am “eating good,” as the kids apparently say. Got to show off Grand Cross, Graze Counter and a bit of Zeroranger, play Twinkle Star, Deathsmiles and Star99 with friends, and got some stuff I want to try out soon. All in all, it was a really great weekend even if I worked through most of it. Anyway. Have a sketch dump!
I’ve not been sharing new art on Twitter lately due to the new TOS thing about them owning the rights to repost/reuse/train machines on all of your data but I haven’t committed to deleting my account since it seems like the majority of people still use it. Bluesky ain’t bad though. Cohost is cozy but seems to really only connect me to a small slice of people I know, and Tumblr is Tumblr. (In all seriousness, Tumblr doesn’t seem to have as much of a PC witch-hunting experience as it used to, I think the porn purge forced most of the really preoccupied folks to Twitter, which ironically seemed to lead to a reverse exodus when Shitty Bruce Wayne took over)

This bug has happened to me before and I’m starting to wonder if it’s repeatable reliably. I took damage while the ships were separated and attempting to change formation, then lost one ship and the remaining two stay tethered together- with the slow mo effect on. It could actually be useful if it’s repeatable but attempting to pick up more items and stuff did instill some new… wonk (picked up a yellow crest and the hitbox migrated over to the yellow ship stuck in the corner while i still controlled the red one and the blue one was glued in place)
Sol Cresta really is a pretty fun game, it’s just kind of wacky that they decided to make a random arcade throwback title then priced it on the lower end of a full console release plus story mode DLCs. It’s worth playing on a good sale. Hope to see Neo Retro Arcade expand beyond just the one title.
Not been able to draw as much as I’d wanted, been trying to get more exercise in and build up some leg strength since I lost a lot of mass post surgery last year. Doc said I don’t need any more follow ups as long as I stick to building strength since the grafts are solid so between that and work I’ve been just kinda crashing early a lot. Here’s a few things I did over the past few weeks in one handy posting!
