Like a lot of people in the games industry, 2023 was kind of a shit awful year for me, so understand how grateful I am for the nice response my artwork has gotten online. I've received a fair number of private messages telling me how much they've enjoyed my work, whether in the form of asks on cohost or DMs elsewhere. It feels odd to make something like that public so I want to say I read every single one of them, and they mean a lot to me. Hope you'll continue to keep an eye on me in 2024.

Addendum: Somewhat amusing to me you can note the delineation in the year between my waifu and mecha era. Especially when AC6 just takes over my entire life for a solid 3 months.

I ported the PC speaker title music of my 2021 ZZT game Cyber Purge to the ancient and long-forgotten PC speaker music format known as ANSI Music, and then drew a new image of its hero Takami Bluesky to embed it in. The original .ANS-format ANSI art file has ANSI Music instructions for ANSI Play embedded inside of it, complete with prompts to press Enter to play or Escape to quit, but given only a fraction of people in the world would go through the trouble of downloading DOSBox and an ancient music program just for one piece of music, I opted just to attach the art and music together for this post. Enjoy!

Artyom’s not one for parties and I personally kind of hate fireworks :’) still! Hoping to have a fun time at a queer burlesque show tonight w my bf to celebrate new years🩵

Maybe in 2024 I’ll learn how to draw shoes !!!! ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
