The Art of the Green Herring

[The Green Herring]

This is a megathread for all of my art, including my images, my games, and so on. What I've made up to this point can be found on my website here: https://thegreenherring.neocities.org/ (18+ warning on some images, which come with content warnings and are age-gated.)

You may use this thread to comment on my works! I will post new art here as I create it. Enjoy!

I always love seeing your art cause it has such a unique style with the ANSI style

Thank you, Lolo! It's definitely a very appropriate style for this forum. :3

The first game of mine I'll post about here is, of course, Cyber Purge. Originally released for ZZT in 2021 and upgraded to ClassicZoo in 2024, it casts you as a floating head piloted by veteran hacker Takami Bluesky (they/them) as they rescue an immersive VR server taken hostage by a Nazi! Shoot up some viruses, solve some block puzzles, and save humans and furries from all walks of life to learn more about the world where they live! Can you find all the secrets?

Always been a fan of your distinct style.

I've always found it really neat how you bend the limitations of your format into a really striking style. Love it.

At Enbyeon's encouragement, I'll also post works-in-progress here, which feels weird because I've never done it publicly before. I'm starting with this wooden sword spar-gone-wrong between Sparkster and Axel Gear, a pretty cool shot that just needs a background drawn to complete it.

Excited to see the finished piece.
