After over 14 years, I've finally deleted my Twitter account. Twitter was very different when I started using it in 2008. Small communities would build up around a common purpose, while still being accessible by - and visible to - the rest of the userbase. It became a "community of communities". But Twitter never found a way to monetize that approach. They instead leaned into that most heinous of words: "engagement". Its features were designed to spread and promote messages with the most engagement. The metric wasn't interested in quality.

After 14 years and over 150 entries deep, I'm still thinking about Nintendo monsters. And now I'm considering compiling a bunch of them into a book. I'm not sure if there is enough interest to make something as niche as a "Nintendo monster art book" viable, but I wanted to try and gauge interest before I start trying to figure out how to make it happen. So... Would you be interested in buying a Nintober art book? Leave your responses in the comments! The book would likely contain mostly existing Nintober monsters, but with new artwork. I lost most of my original files in 2012 and my techniques have come on a long way since I started. It wouldn't simply be my dA gallery in a book. I expect I'd throw in a few new ones as well. And if you have any experience of this sort of thing, I'd love to hear some ideas of where to get started.
