fake old-fashioned comic panels. the comic would be about two seahorse barbarians.

(art by me!)

THE LOVERS!!

what if there was a set of cards that was shrimps. and lobsters. :) the suites are claws, shells, tails and barbels.

squid kids designs + vn assets :) the concept of the game is that each character has their own customized cards. some modify cards from other sets, and some make their own! this art is their designs+talksprites!

i dont know when im making next making progress on this project, i got kinda burned out on it after making a ton of work for it, tragically, and me and the programmer are seriously struggling with our worklife balance. its a card game that goes with a visual novel story. like the uno game. the japanese vn one. BUT BETTER. its a modificaiton of tableturf from splatoon, which is why the designs might feel a little referential. but still unique! ;)

left to right these are Kyte, Kenken, Muriel, Lupin, Tanner, and Posey! All this art was made about a year ago, with the exception of the talksprites. I would've waited longer to post it all if I was making more progress on the game, but its uh. on break while i do some other stuff.

Really hoping people like this stuff, posting it finally is totally nervewracking. thanks for reading!

more abyssal tarot cards :) the hanged man(eel poisoned by brine), death and the devil.

lobsters who like sports, marcus and paleo. the idea behind these guys was like, how come in a sports anime everyone you interact with/all the metaphors/the whole world ties btack into the specific sport that's the subject of the anime, right? go or chess anime or whatever being the same as sports anime. anyway so you run into some other characters while experiencing your card sports anime training journey who are on a basketball and table foosball journeys, respectively. they respect your spirit enough to try your game. XD

im not explaining the crab. its self-evident.

cards from hex's abyssal tarot set. star, moon, sun, hermit, apprentice, the tower. created by hex, a teenage anglerfish.

through the power of FRIENDSHIP FUSION, beach kids Easton, Selmie and Fin can become... the KNIGHT of the BEACH!

The jellyfish baby is Selmie, the swordfish fry is Fin, and the seahorse is Easton. they're based on cute things kids do at the beach--tanning and making sandcastles. Easton's responsible for looking after any little kids on the beach.
