First, a little beagle puppy holding a Cintiq stylus I made for Captain Binky’s birthday! (waaaay back in April!)

And now some minis, which I’m showing at 2x here so they can be seen more clearly :)
Ghostbusters for Nickenstien’s birthday! (also waaaay back in April!)


Some Dan and Ben sprites from Time Gentlemen, Please! (with accurate walkcycles! ;) )

And some Muse fanart! (made before my disappointment with their last album :(  Giving it another chance as I type)

Based on the work of the awesmoe artist iLKke, although it didn’t really come through in the end.  I still like it for what it is, though :)

A late bday gift for my buddy Buloght :D  It’s been a long time since I worked on a complex pixel piece, and it was fun to do.

Shoutout to Captain Binky :)

16 colours (I have to admit I’m pleased with that ;) )

Frankly, dear forgive my candor
Family secret,
All to do with herbs.
Things like being
Careful with your coriander,
That’s what makes the gravy grander !
