The game’s art style looked neat, with medieval animals fighting each other, so I decided to back this project.

I was looking around Fiverr for someone who could make a low-poly version of my character Ink for my video game Weathered Wasabi Warehouse. I settled on Walrusmedia after seeing other low-poly characters they made.
This is how the low-poly model turned out. They even took creative liberties to add an ice-cold light-blue tail. Very cool!

I was looking around Fiverr for someone who could translate The-F0X’s key art of my character Ink into a 3D model. I settled on Shiftybeans after seeing their work and saw their usage/knowledge of Unreal Engine.
The following model was delivered, but due to reasons, could not be textured or rigged. Still a good job, regardless!

Heard about this Nintendo Switch sequel to the Nintendo DS/3DS series of art-making apps from scrolling through news on Google and Twitter. It also comes with a pressure-sensitive pen for the Switch’s touch screen this time around, so I figured I’d try it out.
The game was distributed digitally via Nintendo eShop code, and I received my Colors SonarPen in mid-November 2020. Here are the contents of the box containing the pen:

From scrolling through Kickstarter, I saw that MPC (a company that I’ll later ask to produce the cards for my own upcoming card games such as F0X Trumps and Studio RGB-Newt’s Shipment) had a campaign for a see-through set of waterproof playing cards, and I figured I could grab a deck.
The cards arrived in the latter half of 2020, and they look like this!
