I like the default one because it reminds me of Netscape and I'm a nostalgic old person

Yeah man, you're speaking my language. Back when seeing someone as "online" generally meant they were deliberately there, not just that their phone was on

I don't know man, the kachonk is a valuable part of the experience for me, great tactile feedback

This was literally my first thought on seeing this

Are you thinking of that one small gap where you have to just walk over it without jumping, and trying to jump makes you fall?

Honestly, I'm kind of excited for it to not just look like the live action films or well-known artwork got converted to animation. I love LOTR and I love the films and other interpretive works we have but I'm definitely interested in a fresh take. Hoping this is good.

I'm so glad to be seeing small and indie web stuff so often lately. I never played with gopher and Gemini. Today might be the day.

Oh man, my oldest brother put this on when our parents were out and all I remember is being terrified of the eyeball in the guy's palm at some point. Probably my first experience with body horror.

The first time a heater turns on for the year

Thank you! It's a lot of fun to use this old software and to see how people can still appreciate what it produces despite being ~35 years obsolete.

 

The Rescuers wasn't exactly one of my favorites growing up, but it still made it into my rotation from time to time. It cracks me up how into the performance these two get at this part of the Rescue Aid Society song. Go get em, Latvia and France!

Beautiful. I've stalked through your history for some of your other art shares after recognizing your name a couple times here, love your stuff!

Seam (pronounced "Shawm") is my favorite Deltarune character. Everything about him, from his design to his dialogue to his lore, tells you that this old stuffed cat has been through some things. Despite clearly having come out the worse for wear from his experiences, he maintains a sense of positivity - almost a gleeful nihilism. I always got the impression that he actually cares a bit more than he lets on.

I just could not figure out what to do with his mouth to make it not look quite so flat. Overall, this one was a lot tougher than I thought it'd be.

 

The Sheriff of Nottingham was that character I loved to hate. He could be so sleazy and it was hilarious watching all the townsfolk react when he'd show up pretending to be likeable. His design and voice acting made him one of my favorite characters in the movie.

 

The character Vivi from Final Fantasy IX, tied with Steiner as my favorites in that game (so cool that they can combo attack together!). Hands are hard, but I'm proud of the "shading" on the knobbly staff! I also think the thicker 2pt lines look better than the 1pt lines I've been using in the past.

As per usual while I'm still in this learning stage, I used a reference image.

 

My attempt to use MacDraw II to draw (copycat) the popular image of Calvin's "Tracer Bullet" alter-ego from Calvin & Hobbes. I wanted some practice with the neat shadow technique.
