Ryuuza - Commissions open!

Scene is a suburban street. A green RANGE ROVER is parked on the kerb. We see two men approach it. We'll call them MAN 1 and MAN 2. MAN 1 [showing Man 2 the Range Rover] So yeah here it is 59,000 on the clock Nice racing green MAN 2: Looks lovely MAN 1: It's got the heated seats, auto headlights [Man 2 looks in the front seat] MAN 2: Really nice [man 2 now opening the back door] MAN 1: Reverse camera, air quality sensor Leather upgrade - MAN 2: What's that? MAN 1: What  MAN 2: There's something on the back seat there  [we now see what he is looking at on the back seat. it is the tiny, shrivelled, calcified form of ANDREW MOUNTBATTEN WINDSOR, claw-like hands laced, his tiny body all grey, his hunted eyes glowing red] MAN 1: I can't see anything. MAN 2: You've got Andrew Mountbatten Windsor MAN 1: That's just light wear MAN 2: It's not light wear mate, it's the former Prince  It's completely ingrained in the leather [he scratches disdainfully at the melted form of the royal wraith] MAN 2: Is this why you didn't show the back seat on the listing? MAN 1: It's a design feature. MAN 2: I've come down from Suffolk mate. [Ends]

highly encourage everyone to be critical of liberal feminism and the idea of identity solidarity over class solidarity! a female landlord is still a landlord, a gay ceo is still a ceo

Haruhi prep is all finished, so I'm starting the Fatal Frame II demo. One of my absolute favourite games ever, so hope the remake does it justice!

...that I felt were needlessly difficult on standard difficulty and it kind of brought the overall experience down a little.
The story, environments and homages to older titles were absolutely beautiful though and it stands as a very solid entry in the Resident Evil series. 💖

I finished Requiem's main story yesterday! Not attempting another playthrough just yet, as I want to let it breathe for a bit, but here is a short, non-spoiler review (two posts):

I've given the main campaign an overall 8/10. Certain sections were easily 9, but there were others (thankfully few)...

So I have some good news for US followers - I sent my first order since all the tariff nonsense went down and it arrived safely and within the estimated arrival date!
It was a single pin and I don't know how bigger orders would fare, but I'm further forward than I was. 💖

There's a specific cross-section of Resident Evil and FFXIV fans that might be very happy with a particular reference in Requiem. XD
(And possibly Ancient Greece enthusiasts, but I don't know if the name would carry the same weight.)

Requiem is incredible so far, but I haven't had this bad a time with a Resident Evil game since 0. 😂

I've just put my first order in for HaruhiCon! Hoping to get a few more printed in the time available, but this at least means I'll have some of the new things I had planned, if not all. :)

(And yes, I double and triple checked that all the files were as they should be. 😏)

Here’s the thing about folks speedrunning the creative process with AI:

I could go to the beach every morning and put a grain of sand in a cup. They’d take their cup to the beach and fill it one day; but the point isn’t to have a cup of sand. It’s to fill my life with a thousand trips to the beach.

Four years ago I woke up at 5 am from distant explosions. I asked my boyfriend if he heard them too, he said he didn’t and I should go back to sleep. I tried to calm myself down, went on the internet, it was silent, no news or explanations.

Adding #FanfestWoLTrade just in case, though I don't have the spoons to organise anything myself unfortunately. 😅

I know it's early yet, since we're still in the pre-sale period, but I'm keen to know about any WoL sticker trades planned for Berlin Fanfest!
I missed out on the big London one (for reasons I won't get into), so definitely don't want to this time. 🥹

calling art degenerate is fascist, use the block button and don't be a bitch

Thanks to some very excellent friends, two Fanfest tickets have now been acquired! Can't tell you how grateful and happy I'm feeling right now. ;u; 💖

Somehow, "Yoko Taro is penning the script for a new NGE series" is both the most and least surprising news I've heard in a while. 😂

Not a huge deal, but it does usually require redrawing.

If you don't know what those are, a rough explanation is they're parts of a piece that accidentally connect to others, so even if it's technically correct, it looks weird.
For example, part of the background looking like it's attached to a character in the foreground, because their edges overlap.

The most aggravating part of being an illustrator isn't wonky anatomy or composition, it's goddamn ✨TANGENTS✨.

Repeatedly following and unfollowing to bump my notifications earns an instant block, don't do it.

A massive thank you to everyone who joined us for MegaPom, KupoCon’s 10-year anniversary weekend. 💖

What a spectacular time in London. We welcomed attendees from 30 countries and celebrated the series we all love in a community that genuinely feels like home.

Coverage to follow!

"April's ages away, plenty of time before I need to start Haruhi prep!"

*It's in six weeks*

"... balls."

Thank you so much! ^^ 💖

Aaaah thank you so much! But yes, hopefully this is just the beginning. ❤️

Thank you! I will do my very best. ;u;

You did! I'm super glad you were able to make it today. 🥰

Made it shortly after I posted this!
Thank you so much everyone! I still can't believe it. I've struggled for so long trying to make a name for myself in the con scene, so to get so much love and encouragement both online and at the con has made me indescribably happy. 🥹❤️

I'm so close to making four figures for the first time at any con, I never imagined that would be remotely possible! I love you guys. 😭💖
