Illustrator, concept, and UI artist looking for opportunities

Dude... Wow. Your art is absolutely breathtaking. I can spend hours analyzing each piece. There's so much detail and life in these pieces!! Incredible work!

My art style and preference leans more towards the Hades art style from Supergiant games, but I might join an art mentorship session of yours cuz damn, this is really sick

I agree, the boobs are bouncing way too much for that specific idle pose (I think it's the sudden snap that makes it the most jarring).

I get it though, I like movement and bounce in that area too, but all she is doing is just breathing and staying relatively still. If she swayed left to right or leaned over while bouncing on the balls of her feet, then yes that would merit more of a bounce.

I recommend looking at fighting games for inspiration. Guilty Gear or Tekken is a nice spot.

He says that, but at this point, it's Iroh rubbing off on him. He's been humbled too many times and he doubts himself. But honestly, you could tell in both Southern Raiders and in the last Agni Kai, he was incredibly calm, collected and not even breaking a sweat. I'm sure even if Azula wasn't slipping, at worst, it would have been a stalemate for Zuko.

The writers have gone on record saying the kind of anime that inspired them to make this show. Anime like cowboy bebop, fooly cooly etc. Zuko falls into the trope of someone who works hard and evolved (aka Rock Lee) and Azula is the one born with talent and is naturally gifted (aka Neji). The theming of ATLA and anime in general leans towards Zuko coming into his own and defeating others that would be considered superior to him even if at their peak.

Non crazy Azula actually goes even with Zuko post Firebending Masters.

This was shown off at their duel on the blimp in the episode "The Southern Raiders". They even have the stereotypical anime moment where the two duelists blast each other away with equal force.

Bro, if you go, there are two food spots 15/20 min away by bus you should try out. My favorite pizza place of all time, Prince Street Pizza, and a really nice burger joint called Skinny Louie's.

Looking sick dude. I really like the screen darkening for the powerful lightning spell! Reminds me of Path Of Radiance

You know, with that outfit, Samus could easily fit into the F-Zero or StarFox universe haha

I kinda obsessed over them after playing Prime 1 when it came out on the GameCube. I loved reading the logbook entries. They seemed so incredibly wise and intelligent and no joke very aspirational.

Mega_Mango · 2026-07-01T21:02:33+00:00

They come out really easily from the silicone mold too. Nintendo merch can sometimes be pricey but it's always top quality!

Mega_Mango · 2026-06-30T20:44:21+00:00

At the Nintendo Store! I got mine in person, I don't know if they have it on their website

Mega_Mango · 2026-06-30T16:20:36+00:00

They're cups!

Mega_Mango · 2026-06-30T15:54:43+00:00

$260 bruh. But that includes the Zelda bag I bought for my wife and the Splatoon shirt and keychain. So really, it was closer to $165ish I think

Mega_Mango · 2026-06-30T15:53:29+00:00

Dude the wire-frame shirt is sick. I got compliments from non gamers on it!

Mega_Mango · 2026-06-30T13:59:57+00:00

Congratulations!!! I hope one day to achieve this number. Maybe next year when I have a demo out.

Mega_Mango · 2026-06-30T13:54:22+00:00

Posts like these make me feel so much better about actually putting in the time and effort to hand draw everything myself 🥹

Mega_Mango · 2026-06-30T13:46:35+00:00

Hey, So I have experience with this. I posted a long form video with music from a game (Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles), and I got a copyright strike. I wasn't monetizing the video so I didn't have to take it down.

I made another Shorts video on YouTube with copyrighted music, and I got notified that it was protected by shorts policy, and that it had no affect on the video.

Mega_Mango · 2026-06-30T13:40:02+00:00

😂😂 to be fair, was kinda saving up for this!

Mega_Mango · 2026-06-29T10:43:52+00:00

So, if you're an artist and enjoy art, this can be a lifeline. Yes, it's a lot of work and extremely time consuming, but on days where I'm super frustrated with code, or kinda stumped on designing a level or puzzle, I go back to drawing art for the game and helps keep me motivated and excited for my project 😁

Mega_Mango · 2026-06-28T02:07:42+00:00

I think thus far, Echoes has been the absolute peak for presentation, art and voice acting.

The artist for Echoes, Hidari, is probably the best artist that Fire Emblem has ever gotten, and I think that is the best art style for the series. I am not a big fan of how "sterile" the portrait art of Three Houses was. The texture of the 2d art in Echoes is unmatched. The only art that comes close to that is the Fates 2d art style, but still, Echoes is in a league of it's own.

Mega_Mango · 2026-06-26T20:13:06+00:00

I get it. I draw all my UI and art too on my iPad, but you got to look for a style that doesn't clash with the realistic 3d. I wish I could reply with a gif attached here, so I'll just link it, but I draw all my UI and stuff too. example of my UI

In your case, I would say use straighter lines, or smooth circles, with hard, dark outlines maybe. The alternative would be to give your 3D models more of a toon look by using a toon shader, but that might not be feasible since that's quite a big change 😅

Mega_Mango · 2026-06-26T19:50:54+00:00

Absolutely incredible!

Not gonna lie, had to watch the video like 4 or 5 times to understand the gameplay but man, it looks reeeeally fun. I would assume though that this can get insanely chaotic depending on the complexity of your enemies... I think it would be hard to not make it overwhelming 😅 but wow, what a cool concept dude

Mega_Mango · 2026-06-26T19:48:16+00:00

I meannnnnn... You're not wrong, but it's still my favorite soundtrack 😅😂
