hi chat, i got tired of messing with this one

I'LL SAVE MYSELF THIS TIME.

okay here u guys go 👉👈 it's a work in progress of my mimikyu gijinka (they/it)

i know these speed draw videos are nothing new but this is my first time posting one... it's kinda nice to be able to physically see the work I out into a thing. also it does some cocomelon shit to my brain.

It is done (enough)!

I would hype it up more but this is really really simple. It randomly generates a set of symbols, colors, and a word, and then the expected thing to do with those is you draw some sort of character based off the result you get. So it's just an art challenge toy thingy.

There are also some practical features like you can lock parts of the result in place to rerandomize the rest, or hide parts of the generation you don't care about (like if you want to pick your own colors or hate the words being there)

You can try it out over on itch.io!

It should run in browser, but there's also a downloadable version for Windows if you want to use it offline. (No mac/linux versions for now, because I don't have appropriate computers to test those on and I...don't want to deal with mac's developer accounts or whatever their problem is...)

Here's something I made from one of the results I got for the sake of example:

(It's a bit of a rushed drawing sorry I just wanted to get the actual generator out there)

I hope everyone has fun with it :]
