My 2019 Drawings

Image
I rarely draw, but I'd like to share here my drawings I made in 2019. There's only five of them, so don't get too excited. The first four are the main characters from the Mother fan game, Mother: Cognitive Dissonance. CogDis was a really, really good game and it heavily inspired me to do something creative when I finished it. So, I drew the main characters. Then, Link's Awakening was announced for Switch, and I already knew what I had to do. When I was probably about ten or so my great Grandma was in the hospital having surgery, and I was really into playing Link's Awakening DX at the time. I played on a bootleg 13-in-1 cart on a clear Japanese exclusive Gameboy Color that all came from my Grandpa's (now ex-)wife. While at the hospital one day, I discovered the first Gameboy printer drawing you could print out, and I thought it was the cutest thing ever so I had to draw it. All these years later, I've redrawn it in the style I've developed.

Game Bible Draft

In preparation for the possibility that I might want to make my own game eventually, I decided to start by putting all my knowledge of video game making into a document, which I'm now just calling a book. So, now I've finished my first draft, and I'm currently looking for avid gamers to look at it and verify my knowledge and add onto it. Before I'm finished with this I want it to be at least twice as long. Right now it is 26 pages, 5800 words. If you want to know what it is about exactly, I focused in on the elements that video games are made up of and created a ruleset for each that should be followed or at least considered when creating that part of the game. My aim with the book was to aid myself later on, but I believe it could be a very useful resource for others as well once it's in what I can consider a completed state. So, here's the draft. This isn't where I'm trying to recruit people to look it over or anything, this is for documentation pu

My Toys R Us Exclusive Pikachu N64

Image
To start, I recently purchased a Toys R Us Exclusive Pikachu N64 (with the assistance of my amazing Mom). I found it on Ebay, and don't wanna say how much I paid because I'm now broke for the rest of summer. The bundle I got contains everything excluding the microphone holder controller attachment and the yellow microphone foam. The big draw to this bundle was the Charmander c watch that came with it. I have a story behind this. When I was really little (like 3 years old probably) my Mom bought this same bundle for my siblings and I. Being little kids, that system probably got destroyed and the last time I saw that watch was over a decade ago. That system meant a lot to me, and I never thought I would see that watch again. But here we are. I've waited almost my entire life for this moment,  I have my system back. Enjoy all the pictures :)
