My Compooter Broke TvT (Update)

 Now, to preface, everything is ok, I've got a new computer and I'm really happy with it. (But it made a little dent in my pocket, so I'm focusing on reselling some computer parts and the like) 

Buuuuut that's not what I'm here to talk about. Posting art I've made has been slow, for sure, my old computer breaking definitely didn't help. I also went on a wonderful vacation with my family to Michigan to enjoy the lakes. (Seriously, I'm an ocean baby, I miss the ocean so much this kinda helped me... no ocean smell tho which I love) Either way, that's why I've been gone for a while. 

Still jobless unfortunately, I'm kind of lost on what I want to do in life so I'm open to anything at this point. (Kind of considering streaming, but that might be a while for me to figure out) It's not good for my health to be feeling kinda... hopeless about me having a steady income in the future. I know this won't be forever for me, but it's hard to look past things right now. 

Either way, I'm figuring things out. I will always want to do art and I'm going to stick by that.

Well now that I've got that out of the way, if anyone's still here checking in on this site, thanks for sticking around~ <3

Have a good day and thanks for reading~ :)

Oh, btw, commissions are open if you'd like to email an inquiry or sign the Jotform. If you can't afford, but still want to help out, you can always donate to my kofi. (And request a small sketch along with your donation. Every bit helps <3)

Commission Batch! (And some Updates)

 

Hello everyone!

I've returned after a while to bring you a batch of commissions I've worked on over the past month and before~ Thank you to all that commissioned me and supported me through all of this!

I know I have been slacking on posting, my mental health and motivation has been pretty bad. (But what else is new I guess lol) Plans have been changing and stuff in the real world has uh... happened ;v; But let me explain below. Feel free to just stop here and go on with your day, thank you for stopping by~

Okay, here's a Solar 7 Update. I did say I had a friend working with me to get things started, they are now taking a break. I know we only had one extra comic posted in the beginning with another one on the way, but due to life things for them and me trying to get my job situation... situated, progress had been halted. I can only blame myself for not continuing to work on it, but truthfully, I can only focus on one thing at a time. And the whole job thing took my focus.

Speaking of job stuff, that's not going well either. All the jobs I've applied too have either been silent or have rejected me, which... I'm not entirely surprised, but also disappointed because now I'm just trying to figure out what I really want to do for my future. It sucks. So I'm trying to shift my focus onto something more beneficial to me.

I want to go back to making Solar 7 happen. Progress is going to be as slow as ever with that, but it's something I am hoping that if I focus on enough, it'll get me back on track. I do still want a job-job, but as cheesy as this sounds, my life I don't think was meant for anything other than art. 

Anyway, main point is, I'm going to focus on Solar 7. Commissions are still open and if you want to support me, I suggest you go and grab one. My Ko-Fi is also still open and I still provide a sketch with each donation, even as small as $3. But for people  who can't donate, please don't feel obligated because in times like these, make sure you put yourself and your loved ones first. If you are able to, I would still love the support. <3 

Oh, also, I also do want to get started on making stickers, here's a little preview of what to look out for~

Again, I'm sorry I haven't been around to share doodles or update things. I haven't been okay, that's my main excuse yvy Still, I hope others are fairing okay too, but if not, you're not alone and we're going to make it through it. 

Okay, see you all later~ <3 Please take care~ <3

Aberonian Trio

 Here's an original idea that I haven't really drawn anything for in a long time. Some of you might've seen something similar in my "Original Content" page on this blog. Though Aberon's gone through a lot of changes since then. 

  Either way, it's a story I want to tell in the future. Maybe the near future, things have been changing up with me lately and priorities are shifting. (Haven't exactly been the happiest lately either OTL) Either way, I hope you enjoy these three. Let me give you a little summary of each.

Khitara:

  A Randaine (a scaled feline inhabitant of Aberon) who works alongside their friend, Thalix, for a collector of historical antiquities and artefacts - through legal or illegal means. They have an adventurous attitude to them and seek to scour the world one day of all its secrets and make a name for themselves.

Vahku:

 An envoy of the Quarine (an aquatic inhabitant of Aberon) whose history and purpose are shrouded in mystery. They hire Khitara and Thalix to help them with a sacred mission that could spell the survival of Aberon. While Quarine rule most of Aberon (and are not very liked) Vahku stands out as a Quarine who has never ventured through most of Aberon. Inquisitive and stoic in expression, Vahku strives to complete their mission without any mistakes or trails left behind. (Which will definitely not be the case)

Thalix:

 An Angarook that's stuck by Khitara since they were kids. She tinkers and messes with machinery day and night, often supplying weapons for her and Khitara. While she's not as much of a risk taker as her taller friend, she makes up for any messes made with brawn and fire power. Even so, she would never turn down a good challenge if dared to. 

 Welp, thanks for reading, you might see more in the future~ :)

Florienna ReDRAWN

 

I haven't drawn one of my Prismatica girls in FOREVER it feels. I really need to draw them more often because their looks just make the "girly" side of me feel appeased. So here's Florienna in all her floral glory~

Hahli Inika (Also tiny rant)

 

Oof I had Inika Hahli ready to post for a while and I forgot to put this up OTL Anyways, I'm posting this happily and... kinda upsetily. I just found out a Bionicle fan game I was looking forward too was shut down by LEGO unfortunately. It's a really big damn shame because the team looked like they put so much effort into it. From the demo, it looks so beautifully made with care. So much love of Bionicle went into it, it felt like a dream to be seeing something of this calibur made for Bionicle.

And then LEGO had to take a poop on it :''')

Whether it was like... something the creatives of LEGO didn't even know would happen or LEGO just randomly decided to kill it because they want to make another Bionicle reboot, whatever the case, it's a knife to the heart for me. LEGO hasn't done anything substantial with Bionicle in years, and they just decide to do this - even after giving their consent to the game being made. Like... at this point, I think Bionicle just needs to thrive in the fandom's hands, because LEGO sure isn't taking care of it except for maybe nostalgia bait.

I'm so upset that the Bionicle fandom just keeps getting slapped in the face with moves LEGO's made like these. Capitalism wins once again.

Anyways, Bionicle fans, keep being awesome and don't count on LEGO to validate us. Let's just make wonderful things for ourselves to enjoy. Thank you~ <3

P.S. 

Take a look at the demo playthrough, let's support the many people that worked on this. They're amazing in every way.

New Middle Recruits

 

Man I love me some Limbus Company~

Seriously tho, the Middle is slowly becoming my favorite Syndicate of the Project Mooniverse. Just with its style and music, and the way they ridiculously get pissed off at the slightest of things. (And that their symbol is an effin middle finger). So I drew my oc (Taren) and my datemate's oc (Kalua) as members of the Middle. Taren would be the kind of boyfriend to beat up a mutherhubber just for chipping Kalua's finger nail. (Writes down that sin in his book of vengence uvu) 

If none of yall even know what I'm talking about, maybe give Limbus Company a shot OvO just think about the douchiest yet sweet couple you can think of, this is them. Hehehe~

So I hope you like these versions of my and my s/o's ocs~

Me but if I was cool, heh~

 I haven't drawn myself and Pubbi in a while, so why not give me a shot now~? I still love the way I look, especially with a hoverboard in hand. Course I can't ride it well, I have 0 balance skills. But I try it anyways because one attempt may bring me closer to mastery~

Or I just quit while I'm ahead and just draw myself doing it hehe~ 

Either way, hope you enjoy this quick little doodle~ ^v^ 

Back to Bionicle (Jaller Inika)

So I haven't drawn humanized Bionicle in a while (also haven't uploaded in a while lol) But Bionicle has always been my comfort thing when I'm not feeling great. And things haven't been goin great, so, I wanted to make Jaller's Inika version for my humanize series~

If you remember with Kongu or Zaktan, I wanted to tackle this year by making the armor and fashion more "street wear", sporty, and for the kewl teenz only - something that 2006 for Bionicle really felt like it was goin for with the commercials, heh.

So while I'm not quite happy with his design yet, I think Jaller still looks very bad ass here. And maybe you'll notice a few neat design choices here and there~ :3

Still, enjoy this piece aaaaaand maybe look forward to Hahli in the future :)

 

Yooooo!! (Update for the curious)

 Heyyyy~

I don't know how many  people out there are wondering where I've gone off to or if I had disappeared. 

It's been forever since I've posted something. Still, felt like I should put myself out there at least once in a while so I don't get sucked into the void of the internet too much.

I've been doing fine, mostly worrying about job opportunities. Which I'm happy to say I'm getting an interview at the very least! We'll see where that goes, but I'm crossing my fingers all works out well! If not, then it's back to the grind, lol. I'm gonna keep putting in apps for pharmacy tech stuff and studying up for the exam.

It's obvious things haven't been ok in the world and that's kind of been adding up to me distancing myself from the internet. Probably just me trying to cope with everything and just not bothering being social or talking about stuff online. Having a blog has been nice in that aspect, though I'm trying to dip back into stuff like Bluesky and Spacehey.

I'm kind of antsy to get myself moved out of my parents house. While it's nothing to be ashamed of in this day and age, I'm not on best terms with my folks. I won't get into the nitty gritty, it's nothing to sound alarms about because they've been so generous with me, but in some ways I do feel stifled being here. I'm kind of hoping that once I get the job I want that I'll be ready to move out of here and hopefully somewhere where I can feel free.

Though with things in America looking how they are now and the absolute clown show that it's been... I'm not too sure about things.

I suppose I should keep telling myself things will get better, there must be some other way for me to find happiness. And that's kind of what's kept me going even with how easily I break at stress and conflict. I definitely think I have never gotten out of depression since I was a kid - and that might be a little pretentious of me to say. But I guess I've found joy in the happy phases that I have been through. And I know there will be another happy moment waiting for me somewhere.

Not like I'm saying there's some divine fate in the world guiding me along - I'm starting to give up in thinking that there's any sort of higher power in this universe. But life always changes. I'm going to hold onto that thought.

Boy this update took a turn I didn't think it would take xD

Anyway, I'm ok. Just letting my mind wander in the post I suppose, heh. Keep it real guys, let's stay strong together.

Take care~

Khitar of Aberon

Check out an original character of mine, named Khitar. They aren't a part of any established series, just a creation of my own~ If any of you know what Wildstar is, after that mmo closed, I wanted to brainstorm an mmo of my own just to fill in the void that was my broken heart (*sniffles* I miss Wildstar) I based the world around vibes I got from pieces of media like Planescape, Atlantis the Lost Empire, and Shadowraiders War Planets. You know, late 90s grungy sort of alien worlds and exploration.

I've had plenty of years to develop it and many changes to characters. But Khitar, who's been nameless for so long, has really stuck around for a while. I'm really happy with their design, but maybe the clothing will need some polish. Still, I hope you get the same vibes I'm feeling and enjoy this piece~
