Before an illustrator, a storyteller.

Let's see if people will find out where they can find Ziggy! :)

@captainhorst Two important elements in a single GIF: a high-quality frame-by-frame animation and good advice! 😝

I've been working on a #pixelart tile editor, to make creating your levels easier and with a bunch of features for @GBStudioDev workflows. Shared tile sets, tile optimisation, drawing tools, GBS font support, terrain builder & more.

@jorandirkgreef @marinapape @fabianruehle @captainhorst A trillion moments like that ahead, in good company, building trust and having a lot of fun!
(and being under pressure sometimes!) 🥰😅

@TigerBeetleDB 🫡 Not all heroes wear capes! 🙏

[Joy Machs @joymachs]

@sal_t_gb @danvelasquezart Ah! But in that case, maybe place a random animal or a foraging item that appears occasionally on the turns would be nice! A rare chance to see or interact with something different and change the player habit of go in a straight line every time.🙂

Working on some updates around the farm! 🏡✨

2025 was the Year of the @TigerBeetleDB, with 50+ project folders and 100+ artworks!!🤯🥳

I missed spending time on personal projects, but I had some great moments that are directly and indirectly connected to these beetles, and I’m more than ready for 2026!

BTHF!

@jorandirkgreef You guys are trying to make me emotional? 🥲 Thanks for the kind words, but the "founder-led illustrations" were so nice! I don't even know why you looked for another artist, already having one in-house! Haha

[Joy Machs @joymachs]

@chaitybhandari @TigerBeetleDB Thank you, Chai! Let's continue cooking awesome artwork together!

[Joy Machs @joymachs]

@marinapape @TigerBeetleDB Ah! Thanks for sharing these cuties! Only we know what we go through to make them possible, but as it's said: team work, dream work! 🤣🥰

The Motion Periodic Table created by Kazuki Akamine is a super useful resource to reference and learn motion graphics

The site went offline, so I made an offline version of it and upload it to https://t.co/hAZknnva2g. check it out

@eligos_games I would say "touch some green", but I think working with a green screen may count(?). 🤔

[Joy Machs @joymachs]

One of my quest to reconnect with my creative side is to catalog all my Original Characters. All of them with background stories and personalities. 🙂

I decided to start it this afternoon, and I'm still counting them! 91 OC for now, and didn't touch any sketchbooks yet!
