Oh to live in play a pixel art Pokemon farming sim. You have a cute lil house you can decorate to your liking. Every day you get to take care of your berries and apricorns. You get to feed and pet and take care of your pokemon. There's minigames where you get to bath them or play stuff like hide and seek or tag or tic-tac-toe or with them. You can pick one pokemon to follow you around. When you reach a high enough friendship level with one pokemon they'll sometimes bring you gifts and you can ask them to help you with some chores around the house or the farm. You use the wool you get from Mareeps and Wooloos to knit sweaters and socks and blankets. You make cheese and butter with the milk you get from Miltank. Once you progress enough in the game you get to open a cute lil store in the town where you sell all your homemade wares to the townspeople and also items to visiting trainers such as the pokeballs you make from apricorns. Every couple of months you turn on your tv and hear about a ten year old saving the world and half the time you know the kid because they've been to your store. Sometimes you'll find wild pokemon you can approach and befriend. No combat mechanics, you feed the pokemon or pet them or offer them shinies and they usually leave you alone except sometimes they'll follow you home. The cute lil town you live in has a ton of festivities and charming npcs. You can ask npcs to be your (platonic or not) roommates, you can marry npcs, you can have kids or adopt them (without being on a relationship) or stay single. There's no limit to how many pokemon beds you can place inside your house. You can place pokebeds, food and water bowls anywhere in the world. You can also fish and dive and mine and forage. If you leave a bunch of berries in an ancient hidden shrine to Groudon/Kyogre you can ensure that the next day is rainy or extra sunny. One time you ran into Palkia and Dialga and offered them some really tasty pokepuffs so now you have the gods of space and time at your beck and call and you can basically time travel and teleport as long as you give them treats first. You like to stay up late on the nights when the tv says there's going to be Minior showers to watch the colorful falling stars with your pokemon cuddled at your side. Life is good.

Here’s some animations I’ve done for an indie game called Critter Crops. It’s a spoopy halloween themed farming RPG with a hand-drawn style C:
Its previous kickstarter has already ended, it went super well but there were a couple stretch goals that weren’t met so the dev has decided to turn to plushies to be able to fund those last goals. Here’s a link to the upcoming plushie kickstarter for that: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/crittercrops/critter-crops-plushies-and-merch
Hey ya’ll! I did a video on Critter Crops on youtube! which is a SPOOKY farming sims game! it’s super cute and adorable! please watch it if you have free time! I would really appreciate it!
HEY SO, this game looks super fucking cute & is already fully funded, but if you think it’d be something you’d like to play on the Switch, then you could help ‘em out & throw a couple dollars their way?
In their own words, Critter Crops is “[an] adorably spooky farming/adventure RPG. Cultivate cute critters, restore a mysterious island and uncover your history as a witch. “

Made a few more characters officially exist in my OC universe today. One of those was Vish, who previously only existed in the SW AU (as Lazuli’s padawan).
Except that that means that I need a proper design for him. So here’s a few color schemes/patterns (first image, based on old characters), and body designs (second image). Of the bodies, two out of three are mythology based, and the third is mostly drawn from the first two + some traits from other characters I don’t plan on bringing back.
Starting a new oni save that's not a rime colony for the first time in forever and I am in agony how do y'all live like this (shaking and crying as it is forced to enter a mildly warm area for drekos)
(image ID: a black and white cat plush with rainbow stripes is pictured in the middle of a white background. above the cat, Text reads "look, its details" in all caps. at the top right, an image cropped in a circle shows the face of the cat plush, with the caption "its autistic stare". in the bottom right, another image cropped in a circle shows the cats tail, with the caption "its rainbow tail". in the top left, another circular image shows the alien antenna on its head, and is captioned "its autism sensors". the final circular image in the bottoms left shows the belly of the plush, and is caption "its primordial pouch".)
Character Design for Princess Leah, mother of Silver
Design notes & Headcanons!
We very limited information about Leah so most of my choices are headcanons
Her princess design is based on King Henrik's colours which I assume are the colours of royalty
Since the Knight of Dawn's hair colour is Aurora's, Leah's hair is based on Prince Phillip's hair colour
Leah's dress is based on Aurora's and Aurora's mother's dresses in the Sleeping Beauty movie, especially the veil, dress cut, and accessory shape (modelled after Aurora's crown)
As the Princess of Dawn, many see Leah as a kind and beautiful princess who is always surrounded by butterflies attracted to her spirit
Although she isn't unkind, she has a sense of pride and petty vengeance. Many don't know that pretty-looking insects aren't the only critters around her
Like how Silver attracts animals and woodland critters, Leah attracts insects and arthropods. To an extent, she can communicate with these creatures. Thanks to this, crops grown on this land are bountiful and infestations are extremely rare
Leah is usually seen working in the castle so she uses the time surveying farmlands as moments of respite from maintaining the royal image (she also learned a lot of swears due to this)
Almost like Silver, when she sleeps, she's dead to the world. She's gotten used to waking up with her little friends crawling around/on her. When her future-husband was assigned to be her guard, he nearly had a heart attack the first time he saw this
She has 3 creatures she's especially close with: Albert XLI the silk moth, Ravanche the centipede, and Paon the jumping spider. She planted Ravanche multiple times on Henrik when they were younger when he was being stupid or annoying
She almost used her again when she saw Henrik antagonizing her husband but he stopped her. She constantly reminds him that he has already repaid the royal family for taking him in when he was younger but his sense of integrity and knighthood always seeks to repay the kingdom
But she is no knight or fighter. When the war ravaged the lands and fae-human relations broke in part due to Henrik's foolishness, she was separated from her knight and husband throughout the war
