howdy! i'm boog, i'm a self taught digital artist from canada and i like to play and draw :) !
i'm a big fan of the color orange (big shocker), robots, monsters, half-life, tactical fashion, cassette-futurism, and more that i can't think of at the moment!
a lot of my free time is spent either drawing fanart or developing my characters—which you can find on the projects tab!
click on the items to the left!
this is a wip and not a lot is done, so there's a good chance that when you click on something nothing will be there :(
HEADCRABS
half life is one of my favourite games, i love the aesthetics, the music, the creatures, etc. it's so sick it means everything to me!!! BUT most importantly i love the crab
MY HEADCRAB
the first cosplay i ever made was a half-life scientist and a head crab to go with it! i followed this tutorial and the corresponding template and i absolutely love this thing lol, for my first time using eva and such i think it turned out pretty well. Had a few issues with visibility but overall was a very fun time and I found someone else also going as a headcrab zombie which was a highlight of the con for me :D!!
here is my shrine of head crab paraphernalia, it's a bit lacking atm but its hard to find stuff for this that's affordable lol
THE LONG DARK
the long dark is a resource management survival horror(?) game where you try to survive the harsh aftermath of a geomagnetic storm which has transformed the island of great bear into a frozen wasteland.
i won't lie this game is an absolute snoozefest and i've grown so weary of wintermute's story (and the very long unskippable cutscenes) but i am OBSESSED with the sandbox and the day they release blackfrost my wallet will be out.
the atmosphere in the long dark is incredible. the environments and art style are absolutely gorgeous but there is always this inescapable sense of loneliness and desperation, it makes me crazy i love it so much.
i have so many hours on this boring game and a majority of it is just me being really slow because i'm carrying like 50 lbs of bear meat on me at any given time cause i refuse to leave any behind. genuinely my most cherished game, i've been with it since it was in it's beta days and its just really important to me :)
I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone tbh unless you like slower paced exploration games that can get very time consuming and grindy, but if you love the aesthetic of winter isolation you'll probably get something out of the experience.
GAMES :D
i was going to do individual sections for each game i like but realized that'd be 1) far too many sections. and 2) i don't have a lot to say about all of them.
i'm gonna skip over the long dark because it has it's own section lol
also apologies for the fake stamps i'll fix that later, i just cannot be bothered to make all of those graphics right now...
favourites
in no particular order...
HALF-LIFE
the gameplay, music, aesthetics, and creature designs are just everything to me. big inspo for me and overall just a super super fun gameplay experience that has fundamentally changed me as a person and forever altered my brain.
PORTAL 2
this game makes me feel SICK (in a good way.) it was my first video game ever other than like animal jam and it means the world to me, it's just such a fun and cool experience thank you valve. obsessed with glados and everything about her.
TEAM FORTRESS 2
i'm literally so bad at tf2 and it scares me, however i am valve's biggest fan so we must prosper. trying my very best to learn how to play demoknight and failing miserably. soldier and demo are my favourites as characters, but as for classes i probably play pyro the most.
FALLOUT: NEW VEGAS
oughhhhh fallout new vegas ueghuhrgehrhhhh im crawling on the floorrr,,, nothing beats being chased by 3 cazadors no ammo no health while one companion is stuck underneath the floor somewhere and the other one is unconcious 5 miles away (said with love).
LETHAL COMPANY
i really love the aesthetics of this game and how goofy it is but also scary to me. lethal company you will always be my favourite.
INSCRYPTION
highly recommend playing inscryption!!! absolutely worth the price, super replayable, and incredibly fun! made me enjoy card games and the mystery arg elements were so interesting and creepy.
SIGNALIS
i don't see a lot of discussion about this game and idk why??? i was going backflips personally, even if it's a bit nonsensical and heavily uses its inspirations i had a lovely time with this signalis, it's just so cool
SPLATOON 2
pearlina was the best thing that's ever happened to nintendo they literally mean everything to me you don't understand. literally lost my mind during the grandfest and side order.
CROW COUNTRY
short n sweet resi-like! i absolutely adore the aesthetics of this game it looks fantastic and was just a super fun experience overall :)
BUGSNAX
feeling kind of bug and kind of snack right now... very fun and cute game i really enjoyed this. absolutely adore bunger.
FNAF 2
fnaf has lost its sparkle for me and a lot of the newer stuff just isn't really to my liking but the mangle will always be my #1!!! this is really just a spot for me to talk about how much i like the mangle. conceptually shes so cool, all her animations in the games are always so sick i love the vent game from help wanted, and just overall he's just such a fun character i love them. i did 35 backflips in the theatre when they were in the movie i love her so much.
more games
i like these games i just don't have a lot to say about them
TRANSFORMERS
my favourite franchise atm! i was not expecting transformers to be so fun lol
i haven't interacted with many of the continuities yet, mostly just g1 stuff, but i've really enjoyed what i've seen so far and i'm excited for more :)
watchlist
beast wars
G1 cartoon
tfONE
bay movies
i thought the designs for the transformers were interesting (though a bit visually cluttered) but these movies just really werent for me and i enjoyed very little about them.
favs <3
(G1) megatron
he's awful but unfortunately i'm obsessed with his bob and that he turns into the worlds smallest gun. him and starscream are very entertaining lol i love that despite all the assassination attempts and schemes starscream is still his second in command and he lets him use him in gun mode??? its hilarious.
(G1) starscream
G1 transformers wouldn't be half as fun if starscream wasn't in it, he's ridiculous and so dramatic its great.
(BW) dinobot and rattrap
im combining these two but they were both my favs from beast wars. they hate each other so much <3 their arc was a tragedy to me though :(
