Quote and Curly Brace - Cave Story
One of my favorite video game songs of all time has to be “Moonsong” from the original Cave Story. It’s gone through some remixes in the remakes, but something about that first time when you step outside of the caves and into the night sky… it’s a good example of a soft song hitting so hard, and it sounds especially pretty when played on piano.

Peppino Spaghetti - Pizza Tower
Pizza Tower is an absolute bizarre visual mess of a game that’s pure madness. The style is borderline grotesque, the soundtrack is fantastically funky, the gameplay is faster than a hedgehog, and the whole package is 100% weird.
It’s pretty dang good.

So a few weeks ago I drew a bunch of stuff in a desperate attempt to get some art prints ready for last weekend’s FallsCon Gaming Convention. The urgency mixed with inspiration from an amazing local artist (you know who you are) helped me finish 20 original artworks that I was able to have printed in time.
Instead of dooming these images to never be seen unless you know me, I figured I should probably post them up for people to enjoy.

From one soul to another
A red thread leads afar
Beliefs romanticized by
The possessed stardust we are
But who could see more than dust
With stars alight in their eyes
For the only motes that requite
Reside up in the skies

Good advice from a hard-working hedgehog, and a good excuse to start showing your art despite a sad voice in your head telling you “nobody cares.” #ACNH

Rainy Dandelion Field Time-Lapse 2021
So why the dandelion in the logo? Why the dandelion in all the art? What’s up with all those yellow flowers, and what connection do they have to this whole lonely roller business? A simple answer would be because I like them, and they’re one of my favorite flowers. But this wouldn’t be much of a post if I didn’t tell you why now would it? Dandelions are probably one of the first flowers you learn about in your life. I bet they were there when you first started exploring outside, and they’re still there even now, growing on lawns, sidewalk cracks, hillsides, practically anywhere a seed lands, and they grow almost everywhere in the world. They’re a constant, never changing aspect through all of our years And people have opinions on them. Some of us are told they’re weeds, and they’re often treated as such. They’re used as fodder in advertisements for chemical weed killers, and are portrayed as the bane of every lawn owner in America. Countless dollars are spent every year in trying to control the yellow menace, to eradicate them from the pristine. But there are others who see them for what they are, and for all the good they do. Their presence brings life to areas that have lost their diversity. The bright yellow composite flowers attract all manner of bugs and bees, and their taproots help enrich soils near the surface. They’re some of the first flowers to bloom in the year, bringing color to the earth after the cold of winter. Aside from their natural importance, they also embody some potent symbolism. Dandelions represent nature’s persistence, never giving up and always blooming despite the intentions of those that would want them dead. And who hasn’t wished upon a dandelion at least once in their life? The belief that your wishes are carried off, far away with the seeds riding in the wind is a romantic one. I mean, I still do it. And last but not least, it takes something special to see the beauty in what many would con
Lillie w/Sun Hat Illustration Time-lapse 2021
Some bonus art of Lillie to go with yesterday’s pin spotlight! If I can, I really reeeeally want to make sure every pin I make has some sort of art like this to go with it. I think it helps showcase and appreciate the character a little better, while also adding a bit of fun and whimsy to look at. Word on the street is that people do enjoy some good whimsy.

Some supplemental art of Shantae to go with the pin from the other day!
Time-lapse illustration of The Prince of All Cosmos, 2021
The Prince of All Cosmos, the diminutive, hardworking son of the mighty and stylish King of All Cosmos! So why the name “Lonely Roller?” Back in 2004 a novel and ridiculous game was released for the PS2 named Katamari Damacy. In the game, you play as The Prince of All Cosmos, who is tasked with gathering materials to re-make the moon and all the stars in the universe after his father, the eccentric and fabulous King of All Cosmos, accidentally destroyed them all in a night of drunken tomfoolery. You achieve this by rolling a strange sticky ball called a “katamari.” The more stuff that sticks to the katamari, the bigger it gets, and the bigger it gets, the more stuff you can pick up with it. It’s simple, colorful, fun, and delightfully weird. But aside from the gameplay, the soundtrack of Katamari Damacy stands out as exceptional, with infectious tunes and jams for you to roll a garbage ball to. Now I didn’t play the game when it first came out, but I was familiar with two Katamari songs thanks to the Internet, namely the main theme “Katamari on the Rocks” and “The Moon and the Prince.” I was expecting those tracks when I bought the HD re-release back in 2020, but what I wasn’t expecting was one particular song to jump out and punch me square in the feels; a track titled “Lonely Rolling Star.” It instantly jumped on to my “favorite songs of all time” and I only liked it more when I looked up a translation. It’s too cute for words. The song tells the story of a girl separated from her lover, who is far away working hard on their dream. Even though she is sad they’re gone, she promises to always wait for them to return someday when the dream is realized, and to never give up. It resonated with me at such a frequency that I can’t fully describe. So when I had to think up a name for a shop or page, I picked the name Lonely Roller. So I’m gonna keep rolling that katamari and working on my dreams, hoping that someone, s
Malon 2021 Time-lapse
A time-lapsed recording of my illustration of Malon from “LoZ; Ocarina of Time.” In these recordings you can see the process I go through while drawing. Usually a rough sketch, coloring, and then a simple background is added with a few effects to try and bring out some color or texture to the image. You can see I originally wanted her to be carrying a pitchfork, but I ended up axing the idea because it would have been awkward to fit in the frame. I thought about maybe expanding the canvas to get it to fit, but there’s a reason I’m using a canvas this size. Someday if I’m eccentric enough, I’ll get images like this printed on cards to give out along with the pins, kind of like a lame edition of trading cards. It’s tiny art that fits in your pocket! Who wouldn’t want some tiny art?! Also tell me, should I post up both the finished image and the time-lapse video, or would you rather just have the time-lapse video to watch? page restrictions prevent me from loading up both at the same time, so let me know what you think!
