Learn more about some of my ongoing projects below:
The Island of Saint Michael
webcomic / disney / fancomic
"It's kind of fun to do the impossible"
This is a fancomic project, mashing up some of Disney's animated films into a single story, all set in a Brazilian island off the coast of Rio de Janeiro (the state, not the city). It's a telenovela-like story, with drama, shocking twists, world-wrecking romance and far more rat-mouse political intrigue than you would expect.
Current progress: outline phase.
The Dragon-Chosen Tarot
tarot cards / skyrim / illustration
"When the Dragonborn ruler loses his throne, and the White Tower falls - When the Snow Tower lies sundered, kingless, bleeding - The World-Eater wakes, and the Wheel turns upon the Last Dragonborn Dragon-Chosen."
An illustration project, depicting my dragonborn OCs (collectivelly known as the Dragon-Chosen) in tarot card illustrations. The Major Arcana will showcase the major characters of the story, while the Minor Arcana depict some the events in their stories throught Skyrim.
Current progress: Major Arcana (2/22)
Into the Mikuverse
vinyl record / vocaloid / illustration
"Yay! It's everyone's idol, Hatsune Miku!"
An illustration project, depicting Hatsune Miku as she appears in some of her most famous songs. The drawings are done on paper cut out to look like a vinyl record, and I plan on doing some kind of binding at the end of it all, to make it seem like all of them could come as part of a booklet of a hypothetical "Hatsune Miku's Greatest Hits" album.
Current progress: 1/60 illustrations
(spent too long on Tumblr voice) actually the status quo is okay! It's okay to be the status quo! you don't have to be anything besides the status quo! #statusquoaffirmation #statusquosafe
this post brought to you by my ex employer claiming that they can't have done disability discrimination against me because there's no proof I had PTSD in January 2025, although they do admit I had it both four months before and six months after that
the no kink at pride thing is really funny bc have you ever heard anyone say “no kink at halloween” or does everyone just think queer people are uniquely perverted and should be censored 🤔 i think it’s the latter…
sometimes i get home from an event with my family and i just have to sit in my car for a second & read that one sarah schulman quote on familial homophobia
i understand (on paper) why companies are anti-piracy but its funny when random individuals are also strongly anti-piracy. like how does it negatively affect your life if someone you know downloads a cracked torrent of sims 4. you dont work for EA. EA isnt gonna pay you for this. you lose nothing. its fine. chill out.
soooooooooooooooooooooooooo sick of the idea that women can hold sexual "power" over men. as if it is in any way a kind of actionable power. so many people describe it as an equivalent to the kind of powers a man can hold over a woman and it is insane how long this idea has been entertained
When I was a kid watching tv was idiot coded and nerds read books, but now scrolling shortform videos is considered braindead behavior and watching tv means you're some kinda intellectual. You might think this shifting assessment of media's consumers might make readers into absolute super geniuses, but no. Only perverts read now.
the year is 2035. the new beauty standard is for women to cut their ears off, as ears are a masculine trait which make the face look too big and hearing isnt necessary as it doesnt align with being demure. evil feminists say perhaps this is unnecessary and ears are natural. women are agressively proclaiming they are cutting their ears off due to sensory issues
I'm in a little local cafe and the women behind the counter started griping to each other, "Oh Christ, Stephen's back again," "It's him, is it? I thought he'd stopped coming," "It's definitely him, look, it's bloody Stephen on a Thursday morning," "Do you want me to get rid of him or are you going to do it?" and so I was peering outside, trying to spot this nightmare customer, this pestilence of a person, this pox upon the cafe trade, and then one of the women from behind the counter ran outside, clapping two trays together loudly and yelling "GET OUT OF IT, STEPHEN!" and it turns out that Stephen is an absolutely gigantic fuck-off seagull who hangs around outside, menacing people for crumbs
It's not just that they're doing corruption, but they're doing the kind of corruption that is basically "guy hands over a cartoon money sack with dollar signs on it" corruption.
When I got my current job they made me sign a form acknowledging that I'll be immediately fired if I accept free mcdonalds or an amazon gift card from someone at a rival firm
I hate doing visa run like what do you mean I need 100pages of document and a day off from work to go to a humiliation ritual where they ask all the personal infos about u and ur social status and then said "we'll consider it" and make u pay 1/5 of ur monthly salary and then u wait a week to see if they'll let u go to europe for 6 days or not and they won't refund u if they rejected it. Colonialism is alive and well.
We gotta cater to Europe and America and we gotta learn English if we ever wanna get anywhere in life and some jackass on the internet will still make fun and nitpick at a typo I made on a vent/tribute art I drew while crying and mourning a community's lost members
Got fined for a typo in one of the document and in the end I paid roughly $150 just to apply for visa. And also they had me book a flight on the spot to actually prove my commitment, which will be another $1000 that won't be refunded if they somehow want to reject my application. So that's great.
Visa is rejected, and I have 1 month to appeal or resubmit before I lost $1000. (And to appeal/resubmit, I will have to pay them another $150-160)
All this to beg them to let me visit Italy for a week.
By the way, the majority of people here receive a salary of around $300 on average. I'm above average but this still hit hard. If you live in "poor country with weak passport", you have to be rich to travel. I'm not but I'm extremely lucky to be an artist and able to fund such luxury by doing commission.
I try not to fall into the "I never liked their work anyway" ditch when an artist/creator reveals themself to be a terrible person
BUT
a feeling I do have and will stand by is "While I enjoyed their work overall I did have some gripes that I overlooked out of affection and whimsy, but now that my loyalty is gone and my affection tainted there is nothing holding me back from enumerating my many grievances, to which the revelations of the creator's shittiness may or may not provide a new and infuriating context."
#such a good summation of this actually#because yeah there’s usually things that were always present#but which were easy to overlook or give the benefit of the doubt#that suddenly become relevant after a revelation about the creator#and it’s really not the same thing as the self-defensive “’I never liked it anyway’
