Happy Halloween 2023!
This is something long overdue. Even though I stopped posting my commissions on here that doesn't mean I've stopped getting them!
I've especially enjoyed getting Halloween commissions because those are really fun to conceive, order, and see made into reality. I've especially enjoyed getting them from Aeolus06 and he's never disappointed. Sadly due to me being between jobs I couldn't get any this year. :( That said I've decided to use this as an opportunity to show what I've got over the last few years and hopefully you'll love them as much as I do! :)
These first four are unique in that these were all from the same year (2020 to be exact). Since Aeo has a cool down period between commissions, I actually got these all done over a period of a few months. XD Took a lot of luck and prayer, but I got all the ideas I wanted done!
First one was probably the most complex, but was worth it because of how well it fit. Star, Marco, and Hekapoo from Star vs The Forces of Evil as AndrAIa, Matrix, and Older!AndrAIa from Reboot! Much like Matrix, Marco had a bit of age jumping that fit naturally (especially body types and eye scars). Plus Star and Hekapoo are shipped pretty hard with him so it was natural they dress as the different versions of Matrix's lady love.
Also, Fun Fact: Marco's scar/prosthetic eye is on the wrong side compared to his costume, but I felt it was better to ignore it than have Aeo flip the entire costume. XD
Next up we had some classic hotties from Canada, Lindsay and Courtney. Everyone with a pulse will know I'm a Courtney fan, so I'm always eager to give her some love. And while I'm not AS big on Lindsay, she's a fun character and I have some friends who love her too so I didn't mind them sharing the spotlight.
Obviously the theme/inspiration behind this pics conception is the fact Lindsay and Courtney pack the biggest T and A on the island respectively, so they needed some costumes to illustrate that. Thus we got Courtney as everyone's fave lady wrestler Rainbow Mika from Street Fighter and Lindsay as the boxing cheerleader Tiffany Lords from Rival Schools. Both ladies who kick ass and look good doing it! Give these ladies some love folks!
Another Fun Fact: This one took faster to do than I expected, mostly cause I didn't realize my refs were thigh high. In the end I feel it still looked good and didn't bother bringing it up. XD
Here's another cute couple and one I think deserves more love. Eclipsa Butterfly and Globgor are also from SVTFOE and honestly very sweet and adorable. While they're regarded as evil by less tolerant folk, they're honestly some of the sweetest characters you'll see on the show. I feel this is a nice contrast to their costumes, Sindel and Shao Kahn from Mortal Kombat. I went with the MK9 versions of their outfits since they were both modern and simple. Didn't wanna be THAT guy who commissions SUPER complicated outfits. I'm not a sadist! While later games would retcon Sindel into being just as evil as Shao (something thankfully corrected in MK1) I still feel this outfit and character works for Eclipsa, even if she and her hubby are as far from evil as you can get. XD
Final pic of this year is another couples pic with Danny Fenton and Paulina Sanchez. I ship these two and take no shame in it. This was originally gonna just be Paulina as Phantom Girl from Legion of Superheroes since the name and colors matched Danny perfectly. But then I figured just having Paulina in costume wouldn't be fair, so I had him dress up as Timberwolf, since I recall them having a few moments in the cartoon. A cartoon, much like this pairing, is very underrated. XD
Now to 2021! This was a fun crossover and and me deciding to avoid "themes" and combining two character pin-ups in one! Once again we have Hekapoo and this year she's dressed up as Otedamako. Who's that? Only my fave Monster of the Day from Sailor Moon! :3 To her side with have a humanoid Rarity showing off her darkside as Martha from Helluva Boss! This one came from the animated opening in G5 that had Rarity showing off some spiky teeth and a crazy look in her eyes. IMMEDIATELY brought Martha too mind. All and all, very happy with how these two came out!
And now to the prior year of 2022. By this point Aeo started coloring the stream commissions and honestly, it was worth the price increase. Dude is a machine! If this one has a theme it's basically me taking the waifus of my close friends (Chill, Terrible, and Raccoon) and dressing them as other sexy waifus. From left to right we have Himiko Toga from My Hero Academia dressed as Harlequin, the Harley Quinn of the Gods and Monsters film. A very hot/underrated design for a VERY twisted take on the character. Toga makes it work! Front and center we have Wilhamena Mettle from OK K.O.! as Starfire, specifically the comic book version for obvious reasons. XD Finally we have Juri Han from Street Fighter dressed in the tight leathers of Penelope Spectra from Danny Phantom, specifically her second form. Lot of specifics in this piece. XD
Final Fun Fact: Was tempted to have Wilhamena as Star Canary, the fusion of Starfire and Black Canary from the Batman/Superman comic. Very hot design. XD
And a bit of a bonus! I ended up really helping out a new friend on deviantART back in 2020 and got to get a bit of art as a thank you. Courtesy of XJKenny we have Meteora Butterfly, daughter of Eclipsa and Globgor as Mileena. Also her MK9 design, this not only works for Meteora herself given her story, but also matches up with her parents' costumes as well!
Well that's everything I wanted to share this year! This has been a rough year for me personally and for the world as a whole. But I'm hoping we can turn things around a bit with what bit of the year we have left.
Happy Halloween everyone! Stay scared and stay safe! 👻 🎃

I think the fandom has a false sense of security that Ken’s depression arc is only going to last one game forgetting how long Cody’s lasted……
#granted Cody’s dragged on due to the series going on hiatus for a decade#but I think Ken’s transformation is a lil more permanent than people realize#it’s been more or less confirmed Ken’s old personality was a put on#and the directors have said Ken was changed so Luke could stand out as the new goofy cheerful blonde guy#even after this arc ends and Ken starts to heal#he’s never going to be like he was again unless/until the series reboots#Ken masters#street fighter#capcom

R.I.P. mortal kombat 1993-2023
This franchise is dead. And the only ones left in it are not mk fans,weebs and hype train riders. And a few survivors trying to hang on to a shred of dignity they have left and make decent content (unlike nrs. They actually give a fuck about the characters. Regardless of hcs! At least there's passion and love in the stitches and not souless corporate greed!)
Welp at least the old content is still available for now. And i have the older games n other media.
I will be blocking any kontent and blogs from the new game. So dont even try.
#vent#mortal kombat#sorry but i have little faith in the games anymore#so much so im more willing to give the mediocre reboot movies more of a chance that's how low my bar has gotten guys#the cage match animation movie looks more promising than mk“1”#and that's the worst iteration of Johnny cage imho but it still looks more worth my time then the new game#this is how low the bar has gotten#this is how bad i feel about this new mortal kombat game fr#save your money and go play tekken n street fighter instead of mortal kombat and its shitty decisions they keep making#street fighter and tekken look way better anyways#im not sorry i said what i said

Mortal Kombat seems determined to confuse the fuck out of players by making the titles of their games impossible to follow:
Mortal Kombat - GREAT START! FUN NAME!
Mortal Kombat II - AN SEQUAL!
Mortal Kombat 3 - TRILOGY, BAYBEEE!
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 - SUPER STREET FIGHTER 2!
Mortal Kombat Trilogy - SUPER STREET FIGHTER 2 TURBO CHAMPIONSHIP EDITION!
Mortal Kombat 4 - Oh thank goodness we aren’t ditching numbers!
Mortal Kombat Gold - NEVERMIND! HERES AN UPGRADE TO MK4 THAT DOESNT SAY ITS MK4!
Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance - This is Mortal Kombat 5, but you’d never know it by looking at it.
Mortal Kombat: Tournament Edition - An UPDATE to Deadly Alliance but ONLY FOR THE GBA!
Mortal Kombat: Deception - This is Mortal Kombat 6 and you will definitely not remember that.
Mortal Kombat: Unchained - This is ALSO Mortal Kombat 6, but for the PSP and released the same year as Mortal Kombat 7.
Mortal Kombat: Armageddon - THIS is Mortal Kombat 7… and it’s the end of the original main series. But if you think we’re done you’re WRONG!
Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe - THIS IS TECHNICALLY MORTAL KOMBAT 8 ACCORDING TO THE STUDIO AND I HATE THIS SO MUCH WHY!?!?
Mortal Kombat - This is Mortal Kombat 9, it’s a reboot but also a sequel to Mortal Kombat 7, but it’s got the same name as the original Mortal Kombat. The only way you’ll know I’m talking about this one is if I say “Mortal Kombat 2011” and that’s dumb.
Mortal Kombat X - This is Mortal Kombat 10, and FINALLY we are back to proper numbering and done with the STUPID CONFUSING NAMES!
Mortal Kombat 11 - YES! THIS IS MORTAL KOMBAT 11! Look at how 11 it is! You know it’s the 11th game just by the number ELEVEN next to it! YAY!
And now… they just announced the newest game in the core series…
MORTAL KOMBAT 1 - THIS IS MORTAL KOMBAT 12! AND NOW WE TECHNICALLY HAVE THREE GAMES THAT COULD JUST BE CALLED “MORTAL KOMBAT 1” IN SOME WAY AND ITS SO CONFUSING AND I HATE IT!
I understand PLOTWISE why this “totally makes sense” but for literally ANYONE WHO DOESNT KNOW it looks like they are releasing ANOTHER reboot and technically NO they aren’t but YES they are and I HATE THIS!

Enhypen members as cyber/dystopian roles
Heeseung - Detective
When he was a child, he lived in a nice apartment with his mom who loved him to death. Quite literally because she met her fate when a gang member set the building on fire because she rejected him. Now, not only was he alone and homeless, he was filled with hatred. He managed to become a detective, and now dedicates his entire being to finding the bastard who ruined everything.
Jay - Barefist Brawler
He's not a violent man. Yet he still finds himself in an underground ring. As a fighter. The cause of this being him in debt. His father was a gambler and drained every single penny the family had into a slot machine. He knew he had to do something or else him and his mother would be living on the streets. He decided to turn to underground dog fights. He was a natural. Money was constantly being poured onto him because the people knew he would win every single time. In the midst of all this, he even got his own little fanbase fangirling over him!
Jake - Candyman
He had a pretty normal childhood. Honestly, he was just a really experimental kid. He would mix chemicals in his dad's lab and almost die because he didn't know the fumes were deadly. Now, he's got quite the name in the game. The chemicals and drugs he produces in his lab is top notch. To get to him, you'll probably have to talk to half the city. People gatekeep him like CRAZY. He usually creates toxins and chemicals for people to use in injections, bullets, etc. He's quite popular with the Elite as well.
Sunghoon - Droid
Ever since his creation, he looked at the people around him running continuous test on him, trying to create the perfect weapon. Over and over he would reboot, his memories still intact and slowly felt his anger piling up. Long story short, he kills most of the scientists and flees, now becoming a vigilante who somehow became somewhat of a mini celebrity to the gangs in the city.
Sunoo - The Elite
In his past, he was never fortunate. He practically lived on a soggy piece of cardboard. He hated it. He may have been unfortunate, but he was a smart boy. He used his intelligence to get himself to where he is now. He turned to the underground rings. No, he wasn't the one fighting, he was the one hosting the fights. Once his plan was in motion, money literally dumped itself on him. Now, he owns rings all across the city, and wears his elite title like it would cost him his life to take it off. (It would)
Jungwon - Hitman
He never wanted the job. He just didn't know anything better he could do. Ever since he was young he was thrown into violence and fighting. He knew it was wrong but he wasn't in control of his actions. In present time, he found himself as a hitman, yet something was off. He was saving more people than he was killing. I guess he just never changed.
Ni-ki - Cyber Jock
He's almost as rich as Sunoo because of the sports he does. He earned most of his fame and fortune from car races. However, he plays another sport that quickly rose to fame. Motorball. (if you wanna know what that is search up "Alita motorball final scene") It's a rough and harsh sport that could definitely lead to serious injuries, but he'd risk that if it meant he could get that sweat adrenaline rush.

After three years of off-and-on development in my spare time (after conceptualizing the characters and concept in the mid 2010's), I finally pushed myself to release my work-in-progress build of the original visual novel I've been creating!
DownRight Fierce by Destiny-Smasher
A visual novel about fighting game gals finding themselves, losing themselves, and finding themselves again.
The slice-of-life shenanigans of visual novels like @brianna-lei's Butterfly Soup and D̷o̸k̷i̸ ̴D̶o̷k̶i̸ ̸L̴i̷t̷e̶r̸a̸t̵u̸r̴e̵ ̴C̵l̶u̴b̷ meet the quirky, power-infused worlds of fighting games like Street Fighter and Rival Schools in this character driven visual novel. Designed to feel like the fully fleshed out backstory of a small fighting game roster, DownRight Fierce will have players riding shotgun with protagonist Nishiko Shimomura as they are shipped off to a private school after acting out one too many times by abusing their latent Street Fighter -esque powers. Nishiko will have to navigate relationships in Windy Pines Academy, a strict boarding school designed to train those who are able to wield Ki-Flow, the ability to manifest one's own soul and spirit energy into physical form.
Make choices that will influence Nishiko's personal growth, from physical attributes to friendships and, if you're lucky, perhaps some sweethearting on the side. The choices you make will alter Nishiko's abilities, affecting how they perform later on in fighting scenes, as well as unlocking or locking dialogue options at various points. Think of this like a TellTale/Life is Strange styled game with a primary narrative but branching side scenes and various alternate moments -- much less flashy presentation but a lot more variables and variation in things that can happen during scenes.
I personally do not think a character's identity or sexuality should inherently be considered a 'spoiler,' but I can respect wanting to discover these characters' identities yourself in-universe. So for now, what I will make clear is that this is a queer, LGBT+ story, featuring characters of various ethnicities and identities.
I created this story concept and its main characters in ~2014, and the release of Butterfly Soup inspired me to start adapting it and rebooting it as a visual novel. I've been working on it sporadically since January 2020, and this is the first public release of my progress so far. As of this build (January 31, 2023) I've managed to edit the Prologue through to much of Chapter 2. I'll leave what I have past that present in this build, and intend to do a follow-up update in February or March to bring things up to the end of Chapter 3 before progressing further into the game's development using feedback I get from this public build.
Thanks for checking the project out, and please let me know what you think of it! I have a lot of work to do but this is a big first step for me and the project has come such a long way since I started it.
(Yes, there is a $ tsundere stat)

There’s so many things you noticed that I didn’t lol. I think that yes, the guy pulling the chain was ekko. He looks different cuz of no paint and new hairstyle but that him I’ve stared at it for hours.
Okay, I think I’ll just do that lol. It’s just that I prefer to talk with ppl person to person instead of like I’m groups with reboots and stuff. And arcane is going to make me sooo anxious? Excited ? Idk it’s gonna make my heart race and I want to rant about it really well knowing someone is reading yk ? I’m an anxious person and so many things happen in fandom that I barely interact when things are intense. I usually just wait for it to chill. But I can try that; watching as it comes out. It will be good cuz I also won’t be able to keep my excitement at bay hahaha.
This might be annoying, but I’m not a huge fan of Caitlyn, so I get what you mean by how she’ll probably be the character to annoy you the most this new season. I don’t hate her; I just really cannot stand her ignorance and naivety. It really irritates me how she really genuinely has not clue if he reality of things; while being overconfident in her opinions lol (like, “it looks like they bury dead ppl in there” when looking at VI’s home; or “what ? You don’t have parents ?”. Very small examples but the others are too long to talk about lol).
I won’t blame her for wanting to kill Jinx though. But if Ambessa really is manipulating her, I’ll never see her as anything more than a victim. An annoying victim lmao. I don’t know how to ignore abusive behavior, so it’ll be Ambessa then cait cuz despite being manipulated she’ll be doing some horrible shot that won’t help anything at all and it’ll be so frustrating to watch cuz that’s just one of the consequences of her naivety. (Also, how did you get the idea that Ambessa would ? I’ve seen ppl saying that too, but like I don’t notice all these small details all the time :(
And Viiii. There was this physical event organized by like RIOT or sth where they showed an exclusive sneak peak of Vi in her street fighter era (these are not the leaks since they’re official but it was a private viewing and no devices were allowed) and a YouTuber (schnee) that watched it talked about the clip and like made his predictions for the season. I’ve been so excited to see her since I saw his video (again, these are not the leaks but a sneak peak where the vibe was a you-had-to-be-there type vibe). I feel so bad for Vi, she doesn’t deserve anything that’s happening to her😪
I’m not a CaitVi shipper, but yeah I think I’d love to see their kiss too; or like, the start of their relationship being more than yearning. I don’t understand their ship fully but I’d like to see how they decide to be together after all this chaos. It would be very interesting cuz both of ‘em are entangled emotionally in a mostly negative way. What with the whole ‘my sister killed your mother and now you wanna kill her’ thing.
And ouuuu, I know Ambessa is hot but I hope she dies😞. She’s too obsessed with war smh. (I just thought of like, doing a character study on that lol. Like, why didn’t she think to actually do sth peaceful and productive? Why was her first thought ‘they’re must be war for peace to rain’ lol.)
Anyway, ppl were saying on the YouTube video that they aren’t showing Victor, Jayce and Mel to keep ppl in suspense or sth.
I really hope they don’t kill sevika off cuz I will actually also not want to watch much. Though I love the characters so I’d have to take a break if they do that. Even if they do, she’ll never be dead to me.
I don’t have any predictions for the season cuz I hate being wrong about them and wi to bathe way things are going, one can never be so sure tbh. I love your prediction though. It makes sense.
yes!!! i think the most fascinating thing about cait's character is her whole personality is trying to get out from under her parent's control, wealth, and influence-- but she's always falling victim to someone else's control, wealth and influence. whether it's by joining the enforcers-- piltover's military, essentially, where the lower levels are constantly controlled by their bosses, who are controlled by the council-- or by teaming up with ambessa!!! the writers are so fucking good at making characters make sense-- of course a naive rich girl would run from one system of corrupt power to another-- she doesn't know that they're all corrupt, she hasn't been hurt by them enough to see through the different facades because she's rich!! (but she will always have a special place in my heart... that scene where cait's out in the rain talking to jayce and she goes 'i suppose i've always been an outcast too' or something?? gets me everytime. tears streaming down my cheeks. that little lonely rich lesbian :( )
HAHAHAHA i agree with you 100% about ambessa, but i think unfortunately, she's the least likely to die this season. she's just too powerful and domineering and influential. but idk!! we'll see, arcane has a good way of killing off important, powerful characters.
i feel really bad for vi :( i wish she just had a few minutes to, like, breathe. she literally gets busted out of prison after 10ish years just to track down her sister, and the only reason she's not thrown back in is because of her relation to cait, which means she's indebted to her forever, but then cait goes and tries to kill her sister and her sister tries to kill cait and she's only been out of jail for like 72 hours!!! she needs a spa day. and some weed. give her a break omg.
i'm not a super big caitvi shipper either (mostly for the reasons said above, their relationship is so rushed and co-dependent) but i feel like i gotta root for lesbians life gives me lasjdflksa;dlfj. and i think it would be refreshing to see a show with writing like arcane's do a lesbian sex scene (or something intimate)-- because i have confidence the writer's wouldn't make it a cheesy lesbian porno hahaha

The original Virtua Fighter was a pioneer in the fighting game genre. Developed by Sega AM2 and released exclusively for arcades in 1993, the title gained notoriety not only because of its intuitive gameplay, but also its visuals, which were considered realistic at the time. Virtua Fighter may look rudimentary and basic by today's standards, but back then, it was revolutionary. Sega's renowned fighting game was the first in its genre to feature fully 3D polygonal graphics. This aspect of Virtua Fighter was a major selling point, and ultimately contributed to the game becoming a worldwide phenomenon in the 90s.
Virtua Fighter has spawned multiple sequels and spin-offs over the years, from 1994's Virtua Fighter 2 all the way up to 2014's Virtua Fighter: Fever Combo. Unfortunately, though, other than a few ports and enhanced re-releases, the VF franchise has been dormant for quite some time. Recent rumors seem to suggest, however, that this may not be the case for long. The prominent insider Midori, also known as RyanFromTheBronx, alleged earlier this year that Sega was working on a new mainline entry in the VF series, presumably titled Virtua Fighter 6. This report, coupled with a recent tweet from Sega that fans believe was teasing VF 6, has led speculation to run rampant about this unannounced game. If Sega is indeed working on this title, then the company's revival of Virtua Fighter could prove to be a bigger deal than some might expect.
A Virtua Fighter Revival Could Prove to be Very Successful
Evidence Suggests that Virtua Fighter 6 May Be in the Works
Rumors and teases aside, there are reasons to think that a new Virtua Fighter game is in development. Back in December 2023, Sega announced a new initiative to resurrect some of its legacy IPs. Among the franchises the publisher revealed would receive this reboot treatment were Jet Set Radio, Crazy Taxi, Streets of Rage, Shinobi, and Golden Axe. While it didn't provide any specific details about the new installments in these dormant properties, such as their names or release dates, the firm did hint that even more classic Sega IPs would be brought back in the future, in addition to the aforementioned five.
It's anyone's guess as to what other franchises the company will decide to revive, but based off of recent comments from Sega COO Shuji Itsumi, one of them may end up being Virtua Fighter. Shortly after Sega unveiled its plans for dormant series revivals in December, Itsumi revealed in an interview with the Washington Post that the Japanese publisher was actively entertaining the idea of making a new VF game. Taking all this into account, it seems like the chances of Virtua Fighter 6 happening are higher than ever before, which is especially great considering the renaissance the fighting game genre has been having as of late.
Sega Could Capitalize on the Fighting Game Boom With a New Virtua Fighter Game
Fighting games are becoming more and more popular throughout the years. Two of the biggest franchises in the genre, Street Fighter and Tekken, have been on a roll lately. Street Fighter 6, which released last year, was met with rave reviews and broad commercial success. Tekken 8, meanwhile, debuted in 2024 to near-universal acclaim from critics, selling over two million copies just one month after its launch. If Sega does make a new, high-quality Virtual Fighter game, it could end up standing toe-to-toe with these giants and potentially eclipsing them in one regard: approachability.
Virtua Fighter 6 Could Use Approachability to Its Advantage
If there's one thing Virtua Fighter is known for besides 3D graphics, it's having an accessible learning curve. So many fighting games are hard to get into due to their complex gameplay mechanics, but in VF's case, that isn't an issue. The control schemes in most Virtual Fighter games are quite simple and easy to understand since general combat maneuvers typically only involve the use of three buttons and an 8-directional control stick. If a new Virtua Fighter game doubles down on this approachable gameplay philosophy that previous entries in the franchise had, it may appeal to a broader-than-usual audience, which could lead to it becoming one of Sega's next big hits.

My latest edit of my Mortal Kombat OTP - Liu Kang x Sonya Blade. This time, it's their appearances in the soft reboot Mortal Kombat (2011) aka Mortal Kombat 9.
I know that Sonya's main design in that game is rather controversial among fans due to how risque it is, but the way I look at it? Her design works in more or less a similar way to Cammy's classic design in Street Fighter. Realistically, it's very revealing for a militaristic woman, but it still works within a more fantastical and over-the-top world, which is very much how SF and MK work.
With that being said, I am still keeping my versions of Sonya and Liu Kang's designs in this game.
The background is indeed the temples of Ayutthaya, Thailand, which were used as the temple of the Order of Light in the 1995 Mortal Kombat movie. I thought it would be suiting to use for this edit.
Despite my issues with the actual game's story mode, I still feel MK9 is a fantastic game, and arguably the best game in the mainline series since MK2 thanks to its gameplay and how it recaptures the feel of klassic MK while still updating it for modern standards.
That's all for now.

No, I don't want More cinematic adaptations of video games as video games become more cinematic or get remade to be more cinematic and sequels get iterated into something so radically different that it should just be a new IP but those aren't allowed to exist anymore because it's not guaranteed to make money so we have to just keep cannibalizing the same ideas and names over and over to churn out low-effort slop made by people paid in peanuts that nobody is watching except to tell everyone else online how bad it is and I'M SO FUCKING TIRED!!!!!! IT WILL NEVER END!!!! I will be on my deathbed at the ripe old age of 67 and the last thing I will see is an advertisement transmitted directly into my brain for "Super Mario Bros Vs. Sonic The Hedgehog x Street Fighter The Movie The Game The Reboot XXVII" "play it in theaters on march 15th"
