Hello! I’m a writer, artist, and game developer. I’ll mostly be showing my art here, but I might add a couple of game updates or story snippets, too.

A chibi of a girl with a shocked expression and a yellow exclamation mark beside her head. She’s floating. Her hair is short and a dark purplish color, and her eyes are blue. She has a purple-blue dress that has a slit at the side to show the lighter purple skirt underneath. She has a light purple shawl and cloak, and an off white scarf and leggings. She has a purple belt and shoes.

I made Ely float. I think maybe she wants to be put back on the ground. Will you help Ely get down?

It is a blender, regurgitating fruits to create something “new.” Maybe, when it is reshaped, it looks like a fruit—maybe it even looks good. Maybe it tastes good, too. But there’s something wrong about its shape. Something bitter about its aftertaste.

Because the blender is made of blood, powered by the life of the world around it. Because the fruit that went into it—the fruit of the trees in the sprawling orchards, the fruit of the single tree in the home garden—had been stolen from their original vendors. It did not consider where to plant the tree, or when to water it, or how to nurture it and the lands around it. All the blender does is mix them all together, uninterested in where the parts came from, to present a “fruit.”

Yet, these “fruits” are everywhere. After all, why wait for harvest, when a “fruit” is good enough and can be consumed immediately? Do they notice the real fruit vendors dwindling, as “fruits” replace them? Do they notice the earth crying out, as its resources are stolen and its inhabitants suffer? Do they care?

I notice. I care. To me, the blender is a poison, administered by those who believe they have nothing to fear, nothing to lose; those who care only for themselves, without sparing a second’s thought to who they hurt. And while I stand against these “fruits,” I also lift up those who plant, who nurture, who harvest the real fruit.

So to the most beautiful fruit from a lifelong farmer to the first fruit of a beginner… thank you, and please, never stop. For if there is one thing I know, it’s that there’s something truly wonderful about the act of reaping and sowing, of creation, that all those who indulge in “fruit” will never understand.

I had Thoughts, and so I wrote them semi-coherently. Kind of just... throwing this into the void and seeing what happens.

I’m playing with making different kinds of low poly chibis, and Emeron is one of the test subjects (pretend it loops correctly, I fought for 30 minutes to make this gif and I don’t feel like fixing it)

A drawing of a woman slightly looking down at the viewer. She’s looking at the viewer with an amused expression and a smirk. Her eyes are yellow, the pupils are slightly slitted, and her scleras are dark. She has short blonde hair, long fingernails with red polish, a yellow dress with a slit down the side, a red cloak, and a gold belt and earring. The whole drawing is tinted orangish.

Would you accept a deal with this devil?

A drawing of a woman with olive green eyes and dark red hair. She has a low-cut red dress with a slit down the side. She has her legs crossed and is casually leaning against a chair. The lighting tints everything reddish.

Chrys has connections everywhere. Making a deal with her is not a matter of what she can provide; it’s how much you’re willing to pay…

A drawing of a woman who is a little chubby. She has long, red hair and light green eyes. She has two necklaces, one of which has a bear charm on it. She’s wearing a blue dress with yellow details, as well as yellow gloves and a ring.

Minne’s redesign for the “soft reboot“/revision I’m doing for The Butterfly Effect. Just wanted something slightly more complex, since it’s something a lot of my older designs lacked.

A painting/lineless illustration. The background is of fields set on fire with a few swords stuck in the ground. The sky is orange. In the center, there is a man with long silver hair and an off-white blindfold. He has a dark blue shirt with long, loose-fitting sleeves and several off-white belts. His hands are gray and his boots are dark blue. He’s holding a sword.

A little while ago, I redesigned Emeron’s outfit a bit, and I‘m pretty happy with the results!

Zenas is ready to soak up what remains of the summer sun! (Even if she’s in a void, because you can’t make me draw backgrounds.)

Usually Arrika’s the one inviting Daazia to formal events, but this time, they invited her to a casual night out instead… though Arrika still likes dressing up.

So… here’s the full version of the cover art for the newest story in The Butterfly Effect, Heretic Hunters.

A drawing of a young woman posed reminiscent of the Charlie Conspiracy meme. Her long brown hair is pulled over her shoulder and she has a determined grin. She’s wearing a dark purple, long-sleeved shirt under a lighter purple short-sleeved one, along with plain dark blue pants. She has a necklace shaped like a bird skull and a belt chain with butterflies on it. On the conspiracy board beside her, there are many papers connected by red strings, though most of the text is illegible.

It may not exactly be an April Fool’s joke, but it’s certainly a silly piece of #digitalart!

I present to you: what I must look like whenever I start explaining my projects’ lore, inspired by that conspiracy board meme.

Thanks for doing this! Might I interest you in a short detective VN? It’s a bit like a demo for a longer project I’m slowly working on.

So, I decided to try turning a story project into a game because I think it’ll work better. And for #screenshotsaturday I thought I’d whip up some quick UI concepts. Basically all the art are placeholders, but… it’s something, right?

Also, *insert joke about stabbing salads here.* One day I’ll make an Ides of March themed comic for TBE’s birthday. It was completely coincidence, but a funny coincidence nonetheless.
