Ever wondered what it'd be like to play a game featuring a cute lesbian couple going demon hunting to pay rent? No? Oh, sure. I believe you. Except not one bit.

Anyway, @ItsMeLilyV's BOSSGAME: The Final Boss Is My Heart has that (and other fun things), and goodness, does it ever look great!

still sketching! here are some of my faves from the past week or so

I got a simple set of ink pens and I'm trying to learn how to use them a bit! Up until now I have drawn almost exclusively with mechanical pencils, which makes it hard to vary up line boldness... still just trying to practice and learn more in general <3

I want to try doing more digital art, too, but for some reason I've never really felt as comfy with it, even though it's more powerful...

drew a little Sophie ~ trying to learn how to use pens

recently i've been trying to sketch more! i haven't in a while, and it's been fun mixing up focused practice with silly character drawings

the drawing of sophie is a study from ryoko kui's Daydream Hour... Kui draws her characters with a lot of physical diversity (especially for manga) and she shows off so much of her practice art out there that it's really fun to mimic <3

i also like to draw a lot of little characters, as you can see ~

Oh! I've received a bunch of comments on how responsive BOSSGAME's controls are, so I wrote a breakdown about how I found a new approach for mobile controls.

Bossgame got an incredibly kind and lovely review on Gayming Magazine ✨

"The biggest reason BOSSGAME: The Final Boss is My Heart speaks to me is because the game begs players to choose an authentic life in a world determined to squeeze you into a status quo mold." 💕
