It's Monday, and I still owe you a Sunday Best, so let's square that up. This week's outfit belongs to V from my playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077. There's a particular piece of iron in this game- you might know the one- it's one of the most stylish and fun-feeling weapon animations I've ever had. Yeah!

The other night I did a little bit of art for fun. I waited to post it on Tumblr until I noticed all the little errors that bugged me, so you get the proper corrected second pass today. Source >> https://titan.garden

This week's Sunday Best feature is my Latch color pick on Lethal League Blaze. I've always really liked the kind of rising tension a game of Lethal League puts out, with the ball accelerating faster & faster, and the way time seems to hang when a player lands an enormous hit. It captures speed well.

It's Sunday again! Today I've drawn my little Imp creature from Atlyss. This is one of the zippiest, zoomiest games I've played in a while, the movement is real big & if you can ride the wave you can do a lot with fairly simple controls. I love sharks & devil people; Atlyss's critter maker delivers.

Back on the Sunday Best beat, today I've got my guy from Red Dead Redemption 1 multiplayer. This was from around my GTA4 Free Roam era, I liked the more structured multiplayer games. Every round started with ~32? players in a big circle & everyone'd quickdraw all at once before the game would begin.

In honor of May 5th, this week's illustration is for my Guilty Gear main, May. I had a tradition in Xrd where, after a long set, I'd use Figure Mode to set up a selfie with the friend I battled with, trying to make the camera look like May is holding her phone. I carried this tradition on to Strive.

Today's Sunday Best feature is Wei Shen from my playthrough of Sleeping Dogs. For my money this was one of the best GTA-style open world crime guy games ever made, the combat system is fluid & the radio stations are immaculate. I had a big hoodie much of the game but by the end it was Tank Top Time.

Let's go way back for today's Sunday Best. We played Bomberman 64 multi all the time as kids. If you mashed start on the title screen you unlocked all the custom stuff, that's where I got real good at "the mash vibration method." Anyways, this was my guy: some kinda robot bomber, but with sneakers.

Sunday Best is back, and today I've got my Splatoon 3 Octoling for you. I was an honest worker & I ran an honest loadout: the .54 Gal kit with the deployable splash wall. Some of the weapons in this game were very evil. I'd roll out to mid, put up the screen & handle the dirty business for my team.

For today's Sunday Best I'd like to share my GTA4 lady. Way back then a friend & I would hop online and join Free Roam lobbies to hunt bigots. This was Xbox so it was hot mics & slurs abound, so if we found someone bleating pejoratives we'd look for their names, lecture them on mic & blow them away over and over and over again until they quit the lobby.

It's Sunday Best day, and today I've drawn my golfsona from Super Battle Golf. I've always been a fan of the particular form of golf you get in videogames, where the sport is abstracted as plotting trajectory and velocity. It's trigonometry as a toy. A gentleman's shootbang. I'll create some mischief.

I did a bit of archaeological research to uncover references for this week's Sunday Best. This was my guy from Loadout, a third-person arena shooter about fiddly weapon customization. My main gun was an electric pulse cannon called "Kill-a-Watts" and the backup was a flaming LMG named "Roast Beef."

For this week's Sunday Best we're going all the way back to Cyborg Justice on the Genesis. I played this game a lot and I always liked to make this one guy: round torso, big stampy feet and the buzzsaw hand. I always remember the magazine ad for this game vividly; you might too if you're of an age.

Tonight our Sunday Best feature is the Houndmaster from a charming Crawl-like sidescroller called Vagante. Lovingly referred to as the Dogmancer, I loved to spec into skills that increased damage when you threw the dog at monsters. The dog roams on its own, but you can also carry it on your back!

Today's Sunday Best isn't a person, it's a plane from an old Vlambeer game called Luftrausers! The music changes to match your airplane. My favorite configuration is called "Shipwreck," a sword-hulled amphibious prop plane with shotgun cannons, it can divebomb through boats & burst up from the sea.

Gaige's voice actress plays V in Cyberpunk 2077, I learned recently. An old friend.

It's technically Sunday, and this week's fit lands a bit early! I don't Tekken very often, but when I do I like to pick Steve and do all his slippery punches. In Tekken 7 he had a loose-fit, full-body track suit, so I made him into a deer man. When he's in Peekaboo Stance the antlers point forward!
