Nintendo Games Review: Battle Toad, Double Dragon, Dragon Spirit
BattleToads Nintendo Game Battletoads was the first Nintendo two player game I ever played. By the age of 6, I had finally gotten a second controller. This game was a bit weird around the edges. However, it was pretty humoring. The stages in the game changed a lot. This game was a bit less sideways about everything. It game you more freedom of movement. However, I never made it past the area that came after the falling down stage. It got into one of those super annoying obstacle courses that no one can ever beat. So, that was the end...

The Hollow Knight the Beatles Abbey Road Drawing Parody
I was brainstorming a new Hollow Knight parody. Normally, I like to mix them with artworks. While browsing at art, I came up with this idea, instead.

They are in the City of Tears crossing the road. I added notations to the lineart to remember which lines are white and which ones are black. One of the nailmasters is without his shoes. He is almost smoking. I...
Nintendo Games Review: Little Samson, Totally Rad, Friday the 13th
Little Samson Nintendo Game Review Among the last Nintendo games, I played was Little Samson. I enjoyed this game a lot. I remember that among the hardest worlds to conquer was the one of the Little Samson. There was just one great leap forward that I always failed to jump over. Anyhow, the concept of the game is pretty interesting. Four warriors brought together to fight an evil mage. Each is a representative of their respective nature world. The Dragon is of the wind. The boy from fire. The golem from earth. Lastly, the small rat from grass. I remember...
Scary Cat and the Spooky Mansion Raw Drawing Pipa in the Woods
I wanted to show you one of the raw pages from my Scary Cat book. She is going with her friends to look for ghosts. It has a bit of a twist ending. This children’s book took a little longer to make. I wanted to put a ghost in the story, but I didn’t want to do a supernatural thing. Scary Cat in nature doesn’t have any supernatural elements. I also wanted to avoid Scooby cliches. So, the ghosts are Pipa and her Sister. I allude to this early in the book. All ghost related items are shaded blue. Pipa...
