That’s me, probably. I would describe myself as a freelance artist and game developer, or an autistic stoner dog feller to be truthfully honest, lmao. I’ve been self taught with both art and game dev since around 2014, and I’ve been working with computers for even longer before that, well into my childhood.
I primarily draw a lot of character art, mainly of my own original characters, but also whatever I feel like drawing at that moment, with a lot of it being VTuber fan art. I’ve been wanting to branch out with art in general; different styles, techniques, methods, and even mediums, including displaying my artwork on a CRT TV by means of a Playstation 2 homebrew launcher that just so happens to have a JPEG viewer!
I am currently developing a game called Esper Girls, having started development in March of 2022, stemming from a desire to get back into learning Game Maker. It’s still in a fairly early state of development, but I hope to one day see it reach its fullest potential. I have a Game Boy Color prototype I have dubbed Esper Girls 1.5 made in GB Studio with the help of some user made plugins, and while still in its infancy, I also hope to flesh that out into its own thing somewhere down the line.
I’ve got a lot of general purpose and developer-level know-how for computers; this entire website is quite literally running off of an old Raspberry Pi 3B+ hooked up to my router via ethernet, the Pi of which was originally purchased as a dual-purpose emulation box/media center device, but later repurposed into the website you’re reading this off of now!
I also am very fascinated with food and cooking, not only because Food Taste Good Lmao but also because it’s an aspect no human culture on earth lacks. Humans kinda need food to live, so why not get creative with how you do it? I have a lot of odd tastes, mostly seafood, but i am not opposed to trying even the most outlandish-seeming delicacies, within reason of course. I find trying the cuisine of another culture is a great way to teach oneself about how they do things, perhaps similarly or even otherwise.
