I've been reworking my website and it came to my attention old links are not working. It's still not 100% ready, but please ignore any old link and use this one, it should work: ilustraterra.com/

From the Street Fighter movie, I think the character with best representation was @IFCYipeS. Waging toilet paper felt very inline with the lore. But I didn't understand why @JWonggg was worried about parries

So, even in the Street Fighter movie, Sagat is a DLC character

LOOKING FOR A 2D PIXEL ARTIST! Hey everyone! I’m looking for a talented 2D pixel artist to help bring The Blood of Champions: A New Fighting Era to life! I’m specifically looking for someone who specializes in RPG-style roaming animations, walking sprites, and detailed pixel art backgrounds and environments to help expand the world of our game. I’m planning to commission someone in the next few weeks, so if you specialize in this kind of work, I’d love to check out your portfolio! I’m excited to connect with artists and find the right fit for the project. Interested? Drop your portfolio in the replies or send me a DM! Retweets are greatly appreciated to help spread the word. No spams I will not reply! #PixelArt #PixelArtist #PixelArtCommission #CommissionsOpen #GameDev #IndieGameDev #IndieDev #GameArt #2DArt #2DAnimation #RPGMaker #RPG #BackgroundArt #EnvironmentArt #SpriteArt #SpriteAnimation #ArtistForHire #HiringArtists #TheBloodOfChampions

Dunno how I never heard about this Super FX Winter Gold game. Everything looks incredible for the SNES. The opening, style, graphics etc. I played it and it still holds up youtu.be/2HR8_0z8nwM?si=XGwb…

Been having a lot of fun trying out a drawing tablet (Huion Slate 11). First two were made on Clipstudio (subscription sevice 🤢). Last two on Infinite Painter (very cheap life time purchase). #drawing #ink #sketch

Hey fellow artists, got a tablet to be able to work on the go. I'm not sure I have good apps. I tried Krita but it looks like it was made for keyboard, and clipstudio which was better but I have to pay for subscription. Any recommendation for a one-time-buy art app?

Not my 9 favorite games, but influential ones that shaped what I like about games. No particular order. Sad I had to leave a few out... #My9Games my9games.net/en/share/7a62ed…

I think I've never seen such an unappealing collector's edition. And I'm not even talking about the price or the fact that there's no game.
Rockstar has revealed a GTA 6 collectors box for $400 — it does not include the game. • A 6-inch Macca the Gator figure with a stash compartment • GTA VI Oakley Frogskins sunglasses with Prizm Sapphire lenses • A New Era 9FORTY A-Frame snapback hat • A Leonida Keys crossbody bag • A Macca the Gator magnetic mirror • A Chunkee the Manatee shot glass • A Vice City swizzle spoon • A Vice City razor blade keychain • Nine Leonida Keys enamel pins in a metal tin • Stickers in a stash bag • A double-sided poster with a full map of Leonida on the back

📢Calling fellow #pixelartㅤ artists! I'm thinking of grabbing an android tablet for work while traveling. Any recommendations for a pixelart app as good (or almost as good) as aseprite? I mostly need one that lets me animate, and has layers. Thanks in advance!
