Now that the Switch 2 has been officially revealed, what's your favorite out of these crazy/iconic things that happened during the Switch Era?

vehicle model fanart for @socpens

more angles + a bunch of production notes under the cut

so originally during a recent beautiful discs stream, scorpy said he wanted someone to design a vehicle for him based on the ones in speed racer (the 2008 wii game adaptation of the 2008 wachowski sisters movie adaptation of the 1967 anime adaptation of the 1966 manga of the same name)

this was my original intent, but through a lot of experimenting and trial and error, i wound up with something looking more like something out of f-zero.

the disc part of it was an idea from the beginning, and i had the frontal prongs in there pretty early on as well, but surprisingly, it was only through how the two combined that it also happened to become shaped like a halo energy sword. this was not entirely on purpose.

i'm still pretty new to blender modeling overall, so i'm very happy with these results. hopefully they're enjoyable to others as well!

So another Six Character Challenge completed!

This time it was Nintendo themed, and thanks to my friends on Twitter, before the site further lost its mind -- I was able to draw six characters popular, somewhat known, and as obscure as can be.

Micaiah - Fire Emblem

Didn't get far into Radiant Dawn because I had a bugged copy and had to return it for something else. Though I always liked her design!

Anyway, the spell was originally supposed to take up the majority of the picture, with two rings of light engulfing the bottom screen. I removed it because it was too distracting. You can barely make out Nevessa as it is.

Bill Grey - StarFox

Fun Fact: Bill is my favorite Starfox character. I just like how he's the commander of two Cornerian squadrons, but goes into Bro Mode whenever Fox shows up.

Despite being in multiple games, Bill barely had any good references. So this design is a composite of all of them. Even added some grey in the tips of his ears.

Also, I actually did draw his legs, but his cockpit just seemed too empty for something so compact. So I added the console.

Ibis - Pilotwings

"Alright!" I would have never thought of anyone suggesting Pilotwings art in 2025. Sucks that Nintendo only used the PW64 cast for one game. They gave that entry a lot of charm by design alone!

I could count all official art references for Ibis on one hand. So I made up for it by studying whatever fan art there was, and captured photos while playing Pliotwings 64 on NSO.

I've also updated her design slightly since PW64 characters have some of the most N64 designs to ever N64. (That's not a bad thing, but an update is due.)

Meta-Ridley - Metroid

Ridley, or Meta-Ridley as portrayed here, perched on a collection of his..."work". To us, this is murder. But to the Cunning God of Death, there's much more work to be done.

While "Ridley" was one of the suggestions, the version preferred was never specified. So I went by my favorite. Anyway, Ridley is a sadistic bastard. So much, that if you look closely at his cheek, you can see a minute smile curling along it.

Also that's Tallon IV in the background.

Kumatora - Mother/Earthbound

She's currently taking a break after feeding that Pigmask Colonel a PK Fire-Roasted, Five-Knuckle, All You Can Eat, Buffet! And the other Pigmasks want none of it. Haha! As if they have a choice...

I haven't finished Mother 3. But I'm willing to believe that Kumatora uses PK attacks like everyone else. But for context in this art piece, I really love this old fan idea for a Smash moveset, where she'd uses it to power up her fists and punch enemies with it.

Also, angel gloves.

Captain Falcon - F-Zero

I finish my final lap with an art piece of the man, the myth, the legend, the guy that people FINALLY give a shit about outside of Smash Bros... Captain Falcon!

Launching into action in his home town of Port Town, with the Blue Falcon and the Falcon Flyer!

The 15th and 16th Incorrect F-ZERO quotes has been completed. I'm still working on the 3dr Season of Incorrect F-ZERO quotes. I just hope that I completed before November.

Annoyed…

When the little guy is just a regular guy, it's not as fun to pick him up…

Master Hand is letting them breathe the same air, it's fine.

F-Zero X (Nintendo EAD, 1998) magazine ad for Nintendo 64.

[prokopetz]

I still can't get over the fact that the fucking battle royale adaptation of F-Zero suffers from less ludonarrative dissonance than its source material. The way this stupid thing plays is genuinely closer to how the franchise's plot has always described the titular tournament than any previous game in the series.
