May 6th, 2026:
Double Dragon Neo-Geo: starts with the 96 x 112 pixel portraits and 128 x 176 pixel portraits.

GFX Generators: Double Dragon Neo-Geo portraits added to the Lee Brothers, Marian, Abobo, and Burnov. Also removed the rest of the workarounds from the GFX Image Generators from a few weeks ago when I got the https working on the site.

Custom Sprites:
– Combatribes: Finally gets its own gallery page and new fight stance sprites for all three heroes.
– Moon Child: Yes, I couldn’t resist and had to make a sprite of him, too. If you don’t know about him, I’ll explain later in this update post.

Mini-logo: Moon Child added to Team Hoi
– edit April 29, 2026: after original game artist added a much clearer version of the game logo, I updated my mini-logo version to match it better AND added a gradient light blue-to-white version.

All new sprites and mini-logos were added to the main GFX Generator, which I used to make the graphic at the top of this post. I still have some item preview errors to iron out after adding SSL earlier this month, but the picture results still work.
edit April 25 3:18 AM: I think I’ve got the issue ironed out, things SHOULD be back to normal.

One of my favorite game-related happenings this year is the discovery, online rise and legit appreciation of the 1997 PC Moon Child, mainly on Bluesky. What pulled me in was this Bluesky post about the unexpected music, because, no, I was not ready. You can read a more about the game’s creation, set backs, and current revival phenomenon in this Aftermath story, but I have to post some of the music that helped hook so many of us.

I’ll basically say what the Bluesky post said: think of the music a cute late 90s platformer game. Seriously. Once you’ve thought of it, play the video.

These pics show progress on the 3D toy aisles I’m working on in Blender, with the Transformers section getting Megatron and Starscream in the second pic.

I planned to have a toy section update, but that’ll have to wait, even though I did take a few pics of the SH Figuarts Mario.

5:19 PM EST: Sorry for the mess. Site’s currently going through some issues due to trying to add SSL, mainly with preview images in the GFX Generators. Weirdly enough the image generator itself seems to still make shots correctly.

update 7:21 PM EST: cooked up a workaround for image generator preview problems that I know about. Please leave a reply if you spot any other problems!

Offline issues kept me from being able to add more to the pre-April update from a few days ago like I planned, but I did manage to finish one more thing…

Marvel Super Heroes Vs. portraits: Iceman’s portrait based on the same Jim Lee card art as his X-Men CotA portrait, but redone from a scan I had from the magazine reprinting that art.

Of course added to the GFX Generators where I made the pic at the top of this post.

Illmosis.net got updated today with new black-and-white artwork of my character Nutroll, and it may get turned into a pixel art portrait here later!

It was just barely still April Fool’s day in the EST time zone when I finally got this uploaded, but I got it in under the wire! There will be multiple small updates through April, so stay tuned!

This small update brings a few new things for the image generators ahead of April Fools’ Day and some newness to the toy section.

GFX Generators: the new portraits were added to the generators.

Toyboss: Added quite a few shots of Jada Toys Akuma (that action figure was worth the wait), one of Vega and 3/4ths SFII Shadaloo group shot, and a few surprise pics. A “Sega (Jakks) gallery was finally added as I do more to sort these pics out before I start redoing how the section works. A specific pre-order I was hoping to work into this update didn’t happen yet, so I’ll have to wait on that one.

There’ll be a bit more added soon, either to this update or the all-new one for April 1st.
