Visual Art
I like to draw original character designs, my program of choice for full-color images being FireAlpaca. Here's some recent draws.
Music
Sometimes I do music, less often I ever upload it. If you're interested though, someone put butchered DefleMask exports of stuff I made 6 years ago into the High Voltage SID Collection, for some reason (just search my alias).

Quick n' dirty doodle I did for my RHDN community profile.

Now I'm gonna show off some of my music stuff. Below are three things I made using Domino back in June, rendered through the Arachno Soundfont.
Your average RPG-esque battle theme. Remixed from an even older thing from a few years before.
What the filename would imply, a dark yet soothing little harp tune. Also inspired by earlier works, not as directly though.
A peppy little thing remixed from one of my DefleMask things, with additional inspiration from the Kirby 64 invincibility music.

Now for a bit of a history lesson. Back in 2021/2022, my main group of OCs that I sketched included a small bunny I dubbed "Skippy the Rabbit". He was intended to act as the pet of Rea, the witch shown in all three below, with a cutesy demeanor with a touch of that "wisecracking sidekick" vibe. As I was on my romhacking-induced Gameboy brainrot when I created him, the main inspiration for the design was Yakopoo from Sunsoft's Trip World.
Look familiar? That's because I pretty much reworked his design into the small bunnies I've started drawing this past year (which, by the way, I've dubbed as the "chicchagi", Japanese "chicchai" (slang tiny/small) + Japanese "usagi" (rabbit)).

And now for yet another medium--sound design! I rented out a Zoom H1n for a class I'm taking, and have been using it in preparation for the big project. So here's some cool stuff I recorded/edited.
A noise-reduced and normalized close-up of a little buzzy bug buzzing.
A noise-reduced, normalized, and phaser'd recording of me exhaling. Kinda spooky.
A recording of me sharpening a pencil in my noisy pencil sharpener.
A reverb'd snippet of me splashing a bit in a faucet.
Some glass noises being made by me taking a glass bottle out of a box.
Me turning on my Toshiba MV14FM4, letting it sit for a bit, then turning it off.

Giving vector art a try! I've often struggled to understand Inkscape, but with some Bezier curves on that bunny drawing I did a bit ago, I was able to produce something I'm rather proud of.

I guess this is a better time than ever to share yet another medium--creative writing. The reason being that last night, in response to romhackingdotnet disabling downloads in response to their bandwidth being eaten up by scrapers, I wrote a silly story and replied to the site announcement thread with it. While it seems to have gotten buried by actual discourse there, it's done some decent numbers on cohost. Enjoy.
It was a dark and desolate time for the citizens of ROM Hacking Dot Net. For more than 24 hours now, the ability to acquire downloads from the site was disabled, thrown away, discarded, indiscriminately taken from everyone. Those who wished to download were famished and desperate, and those who wished to upload felt frustrated and betrayed. It was a necessary decision, given how bandwidth does not simply grow on trees, yet nonetheless one that caused much an impact on the citizens.
It especially impacted Little Timmy, who had just submitted his hack to the queue. The contents of this submission was for a hack entry titled "Kirby's Dream Land 1 100% Objectively Good Colorization", and the ips patch he submitted was a one-byte change to the header that would make the ROM boot in GBC mode. The patch version was 0.0.1prealpha, and the description of the submission made a call for a team to finish the hack. One that consisted of an asm hacker, tool programmer, colorizer, graphics editor, musician, translator, voice actors, and HR department, all directed by Little Timmy himself, who offered to be The Idea Guy. Needless to say, he was absolutely let down by the sudden inability for people to download hacks, making his self-proclaimed perfect opportunity to heed the call for his ambitious hack idea totally ruined. Never would his idea get the light he so thought it deserved.
