I loved 8! I got so into the characters and their stories. I was always excited to see more Laguna & Co. I remember downloading the Eyes On You song, probably off one of those sketchy P2P music sharing services.

Vagrant Story takes place in Ivalice as well and is the only game I’d say I love as much as Tactics when it comes to sheer vibe/atmosphere. The opening gameplay sequence is amazing.

Yeah dude, Tactics was incredible. Art style, music, gameplay, story, just the vibe, man. My only beef is that it had the typical FF ending feeling of getting too sort of “out there”. Went from a very human story to the typical third act of oh now there’s some big weird big bad I have no emotional investment in to pose a more serious threat I guess.

Agrias remains one of my all time favorite characters.

Screw Algus.

I like the default one because it reminds me of Netscape and I’m a nostalgic old person

Yeah man, you’re speaking my language. Back when seeing someone as “online” generally meant they were deliberately there, not just that their phone was on

I’m so glad to be seeing small and indie web stuff so often lately. I never played with gopher and Gemini. Today might be the day.

Thank you! It’s a lot of fun to use this old software and to see how people can still appreciate what it produces despite being ~35 years obsolete.

Beautiful. I’ve stalked through your history for some of your other art shares after recognizing your name a couple times here, love your stuff!

Right? Can’t wait to get more answers and even more questions. Wonder what the next world’s theme will be. T.V.?

Awesome! Love your work man

Love the color choices. Looks great, very otherworldly

I’m using Mini vMac, a great little old Macintosh emulator. https://www.gryphel.com/c/minivmac/

I started out just getting my nostalgia fix, then realized I still really enjoy using MacDraw just like when I was a kid so I’ve kept going back to it whenever I get the itch to draw something.

I love[d] Pogo’s stuff!

Edit: I’m getting really tired of having to try and separate so many artists from their art. Good grief. Kudos to all the artists out there that manage to be generally decent toward their fellow humans, it’s sincerely appreciated.

Curse that demonic dorito! Love the humanoid (or possession victim?) take, and the lighting effect on the hair is awesome. Also love the garment wrinkle, it’s such an interesting thing to see how something that might be considered imperfections (like wrinkles) can make a drawing look better. My firstborn is real good at that kind of thing in their art as well and I hope to one day be able to pull it off when I make my attempts at original content.

Whoa, I’m going to have to look into that! I’ve never actually done a deep dive into any of the program’s features beyond the basic stuff. I did learn earlier today while putting together a rough animation of my Vivi picture that there’s a rotate tool, which I was relieved to discover. Great for those times when something just seems slightly off-angle and it would be annoying to adjust every point manually to fix it. (I used it on the Sheriff’s nose for this drawing.)

I feel like you two need to do a collab of some kind

Pat Buttram was a legend

Highfive! I’ve tried to have other favorites, but it just never works. Little Mermaid might be tied with it for me, but Robin Hood is just so much more quotable, and despite how much Walt Disney despised it, I love the “sketchy” look of the animation in Robin Hood and other “Xerox Era” Disney films.

Thanks! I just copycatted a reference image, but I’m glad I managed to capture it well.

I’m dying to know the inspiration behind these
