Stressing over deadlines so no bird of the day sorry!

As usual, a doodle from before for your enjoyment instead. I think about bitterns and herons a lot.

Hey everyone, I know it's going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their AI program automatically.

If you have a google account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off.

Then you need to go to myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works.

Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit.

I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few minutes to do.

I’ve begun work on an Abbie RoA mod!

It’s got a long way to go, but I’ve started on plenty of sprites already! Here’s a few images and animations that I’ve been able to make so far:

First, here’s the full portrait of her!

Here are some dialogue box portraits, used for some boss stages

Idle, Up Special, and Intro Animations

And last but not least…

Ouchie ouch. (It is a fighting game, after all)

tbh mollo being a trans guy was kind of a happy accident. when i was first designing him i went with the visual pun of his antennae being little fuses

then i remembered that a big part of sexual dimorphism in moths is that males have big fluffy antennae while females have thin antennae. i'd already been using he/him for mollo so rather than changing to she/her i just decided yeah sure he's trans. why not, it kicks ass. if you're enough of a moth nerd you could probably clock that but passing isn't really high on his priority list anyway.

i wasn't accustomed to making nb/trans characters back then either so i was a little worried that making a rare-for-the-series trans character a mean ol' punk rioter was too "on the nose" but i was *quickly* reassured that i had nothing to worry about on that front. he's still the only canonical trans character across the series and i think the rest of Aether studios is doing a fantastic job with his other appearances so far. (in both Tales and Creatures.)

also as a little bonus here's his very first design draft

Official miniguide! Move it or lose it! Shove your friends!

This issue came out right after the game's release for most countries, so I hope they weren't too mad about learning some tips & tricks after the fact...
