#Mermay Alternative 24: May-be During "May-be" artists would, throughout the month of May, draw pictures that may, or may not depict mermaids, but there is insufficient information to conclusively say for sure one way or the other. #art

If you have ever felt that 200cc in Mario Kart 8/Deluxe is much faster than it should be, your suspicions are correct. Based on the formula followed by the other engine classes, the speed the game pretends is 200cc is actually 415cc instead.

Oops. Bad accounting made me miss a day so here's: #Mermay Alternative 23: Everybody Loves Maymond During "Everybody Loves Maymond" artists would each day draw a picture of Ray Romano for the month of May. By the end of the month we'd be very good at drawing Ray Romano. Then we would move on. #art

For the last two months I’ve been building a fancy die tray/holder with my dad. I designed it in Blender and did all the scroll saw work and painting. He figured out how to make my design feasible and handled the actual construction. The detail work on top is adapted from stevedgood.com. #art #dnd

#Mermay Alternative 22: TaxiderMay During TaxiderMay, artists would each day draw different taxidermied creatures. And NO drawing alive animals and trying to pass them off as drawings of taxidermy. I WILL KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. #art

I was going to make a joke about how the snake in Zootopia 2 should be wearing clothes, but actually that would look weird too… but even like a little bowtie or something would help... …But I feel like there’s a 50/50 chance the movie already makes that joke.

I’d love to see an art book for this game. Also there’s a strange human in the last illustration that looks like a cross between inkling and villager.

#Mermay Alternative 21: May-dup Whoever first thought of mermaids probably spent weeks coming up with it only to have generations of other artists rip off their IP. During May-dup, artists would stop mooching and start coming up with their own made-up creatures. Like Frogre! #art

#Mermay Alternative 19: AlcheMay "Men of science should not meddle in matters of magic. They have no respect for it." ...That's not a quote from anything; I just thought it would make a good narration for the illustration. #art

I was a big fan of the more percussion-based sound effects on Switch 1. Not sure I like these ones as much. They seem more irritating.

Boy I need to get back into personal art. I opened something to work on it and my brain was in "work fast to save the customer money" mode.

#Mermay Alternative 17: Malo May The original boss baby, predating Dreamworks' by just over a decade. Malo was Twilight Princess's greatest contribution to the #Zelda canon, and it is a shame he has not expanded his empire to other titles. #art

Now everyone can stop claiming that this weary-looking monkey is Diddy Kong’s new look.

Diddy Kong received a redesign just like Donkey Kong. Maybe this means Diddy Kong is in Donkey Kong Bananza. Source: Nintendo News

Wow 2 hours after I fill out a survey about Nintendo Today! saying that is doesn’t post enough actual new information and focuses too heavily on resharing old promotional assets, they share two pieces of actual new information.

#Mermay Alternative 15: Um Jammer LamMay I didn't actually have a lot of prior knowledge with this character, I just liked the sound of her name. The game seems pretty cheesy, but also has a charming earnestness to the whole thing, so I'm on board. #art

#Mermay Alternative 12: Mesa May After drawing 14 characters for yesterday's Mermay Alternative I thought, "No one wants to draw 434 characters in one month!" So here's a 1-hour, Bob-Ross-style-speed-paint of a mesa. #art

I enjoyed Zach King’s videos a lot more when the crux of his “camera magic” was simple special effects tricks rather than full on visual effects. Makes sense as a natural advancement of his craft, but the cleverness is harder to appreciate now without the original simplicity.

I was pretty sure I saw AI “upscaled” textures in the footage we saw, but that’s very different from AI “generated”.

Ever see a neat rock on the ground that looks like toast and think “I don’t want this, but I’ll take it with me and sell it later.”?
