Happy New Year! I don’t usually write much here but with it being a New Year, it’s a time for people to review the year gone and look to the future and generally take a moment for self-reflection. This, I believe, is very important, but there’s going to be some irony now (is irony the right word?) as I tell you to do something instead of doing my own self-reflection, but I’ve noticed a common theme when talking to a lot people about self-improvement or when they’re generally reviewing themselves and I’ve come up with some advice based on it and it’s this: Please be kinder to yourself.

I’m not going to act like I’m an expert on this but too many people put themselves down because they haven’t made “obvious” progress, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with doubting or worrying, it’s usually a sign that you care about the task at hand and want to do it right. But a lot of people I’ve spoken to usually end up being too harsh on themselves and don’t seem to realise how incredible they truly are. And as this seems to be a running theme with a lot of people I know, and myself included, I’m going assume this is the case for many people. So, if you find yourself feeling like you haven’t improved or haven’t done anything of significant this year, you’ll probably find you’re on your way, you just haven’t passed that milestone yet. Or, to take another approach, that simply living and having a new year of experiences on the way is really all you really need.

I’ll leave it on this bit from an old episode from the Simpsons that sums it up – “Self-improvement can be achieved, but not with a quick fix: it's a long, arduous journey of personal and spiritual discovery.” – Lisa “That's what I've been saying! We're all fine the way we are!” - Homer

Been playing alot of the Street Fighter 6 Beta and it's so good! Unfortunately, JP, one of the new characters I was really interested in playing isn't in it (and I think he looks pretty cool, so I did some art of him). Thanks for lookin'!

Snowy Night - The cold and frost has put me in a snowy, winter mood, so I did a quick sketch the other night and it turned out pretty good 👍, so I'm sharing. (Hoping it doesn't get much colder though...) -

Seeking greater heights...

I love how all the returning characters in street fighter 6 are being designed in a way that shows an evolution in their character. Ryu is probably the best example of that, so it inspired me to create some art based on a sf2 promo and his changes in character. Added a quote of his from third strike for good measure.

I've been slowly making my way through the Yakuza series. Currently on Yakuza 5 and having a lot of fun hunting a demon bear in a Blizzard.

After learning Charlie Day is casted as Luigi in the Mario Illumination movie, I immediately thought of Luigi doing the sort of stuff Charlie does in It's Always Sunny, and I had to Sketch it out of my brain. -

I'm sort of close to finishing my next animated short, so I thought I'll post a couple images of it! If it's not out sometime next week it should be the week after. Based around Guilty Gear Strive!

Started working on a Fighting Game as a side project a few weeks ago so I thought I'll share a little combo to show it off. It's super early days so everything is more or less placeholder graphics/ animations. I want to try and get the game/ physics part working how I want before I start spending tons of time making it look nice.
