Hooray! New capsules for #FatesMasquerade have just landed!
Yes, those characters are spirits from the game, and I added shading at 2 am, when I made the questionable decision to 'just touch things up a little'.
What do you think?

Ok, I can't help it, posting a pose of one of the witches I've been drawing a lot! Practicing all their poses and such!

She's gonna be one of the potential main characters once I'm able to start the visual novel her and several other characters will star in!

After years of working on the same project, I can't believe it's about to finally be announced and "out there".

I aim to keep the momentum going, which means the real work begins tomorrow.

Forget Me Nots Club (Demo) by BibiXP A Halloween club party with interdimensional friends. What can go wrong?

Making art for my future projects have taken me over! X0

So to be able to show stuff, here's the demo of the game I've been slowly finishing up? I've been able to work on it between the art frenzy and work, but it HAS been slow going.
