Hey Friends! How Are You? Hope Y'all Are Swell. Sorry S'been Real Dead Over Here So Soon After I Just

Back in May my partner and I went to a Julia Nunes living room concert here in Minneapolis and it was dopest most intimate and emotional show I’ve been to. I started following Julia’s music years ago and her album Some Feelings means a lot to me. K and I have jammed along to every song on that album countless times.

So! I decided to make this tiny zine to give Julia at the show. Did a lil page for each track of Some Feelings. Made of blank index cards, some pens and markers, and a little blue thread.

Back to sketches of @azaraih's characters! Instead of space rom, this time from a hella old fantasy horror story that's evolved a lot over time. Revenge gods drama, weird ghosts, estranged siblings, pilgrimages. Fun stuff. Not yet a comic you can read but I'm excited for whenever it becomes one.

Fixin’ up some refreshments for a tea party

I’ve been drawing a bunch of fruits and herbs while @azaraih programs them with magic so you can drag & drop ingredients to the carafe and assemble these infused waters in our game. More kitchen fun to come!

At last night's Glitch Immersion workshop, we each rolled a D20 to generate a game pitch for us to sketch quick concepts for. I rolled: fast + dark + Street Fighter. Went for literal dark w/cave stages that darken over time during a round. Attacks landing briefly light up the cave. If the round times out and there's no victor, the stage goes black and the weird beast lurking in the background emerges to chomp ya.

Man, yesterday I was at the mall and stopped by the disney store to check out Frozen merch cause I am too far gone, I am too invested now and there was a ton of Kristoff stuff and a bunch of Anna but Elsa was noticeably absent and I realized it's cause her stuff's sold out? I found it like, RIDICULOUSLY ENDEARING seeing how popular she is like omg buddy people really like you did you know that? You aren't alone anymore ;__; You have friends and you're making hella bank I'm so proud of you

Filled a lil 144 pg sketchbook in one week. I wanted to try pumping out a bigger volume of drawings than I usually do in a short amount of time, without worrying about quality or what I was drawing. It ended up being all OCs, hands, shoes, and fashion sketches I guess? I hadn't done something like this before so it was interesting. Trying to embrace the whole sucking and struggling and powering on part of trying to really, earnestly get better for the first time now. Gonna try something else next week.

So! Azaraih and tiny-shout and I have been working on and off on our first game. It'll be a fairly short otome/dating sim made in Ren'Py. Here is the main cast, your playable protag and the three primary route characters. I'm not sure I'd call them datable exactly, since you don't really date them in a conventional sense?

You're mostly focused on trying to find your seal skin and whoever took it so you can stop being trapped on this tiny island. There's a handful of other interesting folks you can interact with on the island but you're pretty sure one of these fellas is the culprit.

I've been having a lot of fun designing the characters for this game and drawing their sprites. Since this is our first game, it's definitely a learning process but it's been forcing me to finish a lot more art which is always good. These are the default sprites in their almost finished state. Later I'll post some other stuff - alternate expressions, background wips, screenshot mockups, secondary characters etc. Stay tuned!

Mostly been drawing skeleton friends for anatomy studies lately but keeping sane with colorful messy sketches of my characters. Noodling around with this fella's floppy hair.

Been drawing @azaraih's space gays feelin bummed and havin anxiety a lot lately ✌️🚀✨ Characters from @alectrona-series
