When I’m browsing around pixiv and something that jumps out at me with its colors and style, it usually belongs to Fuzichoco. She comes up time and time again on pixiv’s staff picks blog pixiv Spotlight with her modern take on traditional Japanese themes. She even made the box art for her favorite drawing program, openCanvas 6, and she has an online store.
Fuzichoco requests not to republish her work, so this pixiv link is all you're getting from me. She has plenty of really great work, so please click all the links and look around. It was tough narrowing it down to just one.

In the PlayStation 2 era, I spent thousands of hours playing the Tony Hawk games online and making levels and videos. We’d get out of bounds and explore behind the scenes, and sometimes find the developers left some easter eggs for us. Oddheader has compiled the community’s findings into one epic 24-minute video that takes us through Neversoft’s entire run with the series.
The transition from WordPress to Tumblr is about 75% complete. 108 WordPress posts became 120 Tumblr posts (20 are Tumblr reblogs). I lose the mouseover text on images, Twitter embeds, and email updates, but most things work and I’ve fixed about a dozen broken links.

I haven’t done one of these artist posts in over a year. Let’s fix that with PiNe. PiNe delivers vivid scenes and cool character designs in a handy RSS feed.
When I saw this on today's Pixivision Halloween post, I knew today I'd have to post this too. Google Translate translates the Japanese title to "I do not have to make sweets!"

“Trick or Treat!”
Happy Halloween ☾
UPDATE: I wanted to say something positive here, but it wasn't true. Columbus Police continue to pepper spray peaceful protestors who block the streets, and the mayor allows it. They even stole a double amputee's prosthetic legs and forced him to crawl on his hands to seek medical attention. The city demands answers.
In the wake of the killing of George Floyd, downtown Columbus, Ohio saw several days of peaceful protests and unfortunately, some looting of small businesses. Mayor Ginther found it necessary to have a curfew for seven nights. Columbus police with nameless uniforms repeatedly used tear gas, pepper spray, and rubber bullets indiscriminately against peaceful protestors, street medics, bystanders, news reporters, a veteran, government officials, and hippie circus performers.
But this is a blog about good things! I'm happy to report that the police were ordered to stop using tear gas and pepper spray on peaceful crowds. Now that we can walk the downtown streets in peace, we can discuss how to heal the racial divide. Columbus State has decided to take down their statue of Christopher Columbus. If the city of Columbus can do it, hopefully the rest can follow. Please continue to fight for racial justice. Black Lives Matter!

30-Day Video Game Music Challenge (Super Hard Mode) Day 25: Music that gets you pumped From Arcaea (iOS/Android, 2017)
Find something more hype…if you can… Fast songs in music games overclock my brain like nothing else, even if I hear them outside the game.
My cross-post messed up the post type and I can't delete it and re-make it without creating broken links. It's a video post now, so I swapped the Bandcamp embed for a YouTube video for Tumblr only.

The world has gotten a little less awesome. We lost Rooster Teeth lead animator Monty Oum to a severe allergic reaction during a medical procedure. Those are no joke! We know Monty Oum from his action-packed mashup series Dead Fantasy and Haloid and his animation work on Red vs Blue. Here’s a stylish trailer from his last original series, RWBY.

30-Day Video Game Music Challenge (Super Hard Mode) Day 10: RPG battle music From Mega Man Battle Network 6 (GBA, 2005)
I’m actually playing Battle Network 1 right now. I passed up Battle Network when it was new because it wasn’t the new Mega Man platformer I wanted. Today, its unique battle system really stands out.

Beakman’s World was my favorite science show growing up, so when I heard Beakman himself appeared in a fan remake, I already knew I was reblogging it. Captain Disillusion nails the goofy vibe of the show while dropping the debunking knowledge and showing off his professional video effects skills. Somehow, he keeps this up level of quality in all his videos. Consider me hooked!

We’ve seen tool-assisted Marvel before, but Ataraxia takes it to new heights with camera hacks so we can see some previously offscreen setups. Combo scientists like Magnetro treat MvC2 like a puzzle game where they can create a bouncing Colossus, interruptable Ruby Heart supers, and Dhalsim’s rapid-fire turban attack. Leave it to Magnetro to put out a five minute video that takes a 38 minute video to explain.

Hello from Tumblr! I’ve been thinking, and I realize that my WordPress blog posts are basically Tumblr posts anyway. I might as well make it a Tumblr blog because I lose almost nothing. I plan to re-make all of my WordPress posts as proper Tumblr posts, properly reblogging the Tumblr stuff this time to comply with the posters’ wishes. For instance, my post for PiNe’s illustrations will become reblogs of every image when possible. Once I learn to Tumblr properly and get my theme and cross-posts working correctly, this is going to be good.

30-Day Video Game Music Challenge (Super Hard Mode) Day 9: Music from a licensed game From Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars (Wii, 2010)
This is the theme for Hurricane Polimar’s second stage. I’m not sure if I have the correct composer for this track.
