"TOY STORY II: a sequel to Toy Story" by splendidland. two bell shaped clay figures of warriors are standing.
i've made a new comic called "TOY STORY II: a sequel to Toy Story".
"formless star", clay models of characters with various propellers on their heads are stood in a row in front of a starry background.
Anemo, a red character with a big orange nose and a green anemometer on their head is stood in front of their spaceship.
Finding the animal "Lighthorse", which looks like a lighthouse with legs, and a head made out of transparent cones of light. "Stands at the coastline to act as a beacon, however it has difficulty discerning a puddle from an ocean. said to be proud of its red stripes."
Inside the spaceship, the character Turbine, who is green and has buck teeth, is saying "They say if you love your job, you'll never work a day in your life. Seems I may be the only worker here."
Formless Star is out now!
Travel to a mysterious ever-changing planet and gather data on the animals that live there.
There's 60 different creatures to find, all with unique behaviours and descriptions!

Anemo, a red character with rosy cheeks, a big nose, and an Anemometer on their head. They're wearing a green boiler suit with yellow boots and a backpack.
Vane, a yellow character with small dot eyes, a round orange nose, and a weather vane with an orange bird on his head. He's wearing an orange boiler suit with green gloves and boots, and a brown waist bag.
Turbine, a green character with large white eyes with small pupils and eyelashes, freckles, a protruding upper lip with buck teeth, and a wind turbine on her head. She is wearing a white suit with orange accents and a satchel.
Fandroid, a blue robot with a single yellow eye placed asymetrically on the right side of its dome shaped head with a fan on top. Its body is roughly cylindrical with bolts holding it together, with a gauge on the left side of its body. Its arms are long metal tubes ending with claws. from its back, various pipes and antennae stick out.

it makes you scared and start stammering your words. you have a chance of accidently calling mewtwo Mom
pokemon are always doing shit like "Drowzee used Crazy Floor! Drowzee started getting funky" and it won't tell you what that means. top competitive strategies will revolve around getting funky.
i love this specific era of kirby that had a bunch of evangelion inspirations and references. shiver star is one of the coolest worlds in any game
i think they did a really good job referencing spains famous local cuisine of sandwiches, its beautiful bamboo forests, and even mythology such as the Four Perils
i actually doubt that curly braces will ever actually appear in my game so them not being super distinct is fine for now!
one benefit to this new font actually is that since I'll be coding my own text boxes to support it, i can include an option to invert the colours if you prefer black on white!
not sure I'm afraid since these aren't ttf fonts!
i did! though it's very derived from the Futura font!
a comparison of pixel art fonts. the old one is single colour, 8x8 wheras the new is larger and has anti-aliasing
i've gotten some feedback on my games regarding the readability of my font, so i'm trying out making something that is Bigger. would love to know what people think, especially anyone who has ever had difficulty reading the text in my games!
love, death, betrayal... and knights.

i love when a evolution family has like, 3 pretty distinct stages that still mannage to feel cohesive. i always thought the bellsprout line was really good for this, how weepinbel is like this weird windsock fish looking thing
i kind of vaguely remember this?? i couldn't find him in my archive of stuff i took offline, but it's possible i deleted him before i started keeping stuff.
quite a few actually, specifically Claydol, Tangela, Nidoqueen and Venomoth!
it's awesome, i love its stance! with a bit more detail i could so easily imagine it rendered in yasushi nirasawa's style.
a character based on myself wearing a yellow jumpsuit with the pokemon Heracross, Heatmor, Exeggutor, Barbaracle, Xurkitree and Porygon2
me and my favourite booboo babies
crucially, them moving to the right is also not actually winning over anyone from the right
my biggest regret is that when i was a teenager i wrote a runescape version of the ultimate showdown (king black dragon was hopping around, falador city like a big playground) but threw it away because i was worried this girl i dated for Three Weeks would find it.
that's because it's a sequel, so it introduces new characters
thank you for reading 'Toy Story II: A Sequel to Toy Story'. I'll have a .pdf version up in a couple days
Fading back, the boys hand reaches towards the sun. The boy looks emotionally drained and exhausted. His headband is tattered and caught in the branches of a nearby tree. He collapses to the ground, before looking up and working up the strength to sit up in the grass.
A distant look of the boy sat within out the vast moorlands. the clouds resemble the wooden decals from his bedroom. END
31-32 / 32. END
The headband fades away, and the view changes to a miner using an iron tool to cut clay out of a wall. they load the clay onto a cart and push it, passing by a man with a broken injured leg being attended to by a medic, fellow miners stand around in the background. the clay is placed into boxes and loaded onto a horse drawn truck. As the truck leaves, the minor looks down at their hand in a contemplative way. The medic gives a thumbs up and the injured man smiles uneasily.
The truck is pulled along a cliffside path, the driver looking focused. The horses pull into a town with a cobbled street, and the clay is delivered to a large woman who pets the horse's muzzle. The driver happily waves goodbye, as the box of clay is brought into an art studio with a coffin on the table. a slice is cut out of the clay with a garrote, and it's shaped with a variety of tools. a illustration of a warrior is seen. At the end of the process, a fire is lit under a kiln, with a holy man holding some bells and a pot of incense. A faded memory of the teary eyed boy is seen looking at 2 faint figures on a table
