I can’t believe I haven’t drawn this girl since 2019, how time flies :’) It’s been so long since I’ve drawn fan art and honestly?? It was so nice?? I really gotta do it more, maybe revisit some other things that give me joy, I’ve always loved drawing American McGee’s Alice~ 🖤

(I was also reminded as to why I normally just do flat coloring “orz)

Hi yes hello, so I’ve decided to try my hand at developing a sci-fi romance visual novel game, which I’ve titled “Aphelion Connect”~ ✨

While I have no real game dev experience, I HAVE played enough otome games to develop the audacity to think I can make one lol

I’ll be periodically sharing concepts for this project, starting with the main cast of characters: the lead character (which I’m sharing today, more on her in my next post) and the five love interest characters that will make up the game’s “routes”~

If you would like to see the full cast of characters more immediately, and support my personal projects, consider throwing a dollar my way on Patreon 💜

Beep boop~

Back from an unplanned but much-needed social media break~ ✨

The psychic damage never ceases but I missed sharing art and, more than that, I was getting major fomo for the art of my mutuals, so I have lots to catch up on 🖤

Also! Red & Wolf returns and ends soon, if you weren’t already aware (because I’m bad at keeping people informed), I’ve been working on the last part of Chapter 4 and the Epilogue at the same time and we are so close to the finish line!

As a reminder, you can get progress reports and sneak peeks over on my Patreon, conversely, my Etsy shop is reopened :>

Red & Wolf art dump~ ❤️🐺 --- Forgot to post the other three outside of patreon, oop I would attribute it to being in a lying-down-on-the-floor-listening-to-divorced-dad-rock kinda headspace lately but honestly I'm just forgetful

Today is Wolf Song Animatic's 10 year anniversary on YouTube~! 🥳

Can't believe these OCs of mine are a whole decade old 🤧

And the Red & Wolf webcomic, which is derived from my Wolf Song animatic, will be 4 years old next month! As of writing this post, where we are in the next update of the comic is parallel to the animatic 👀

I never thought my melodramatic, self-indulgent, little red riding hood retelling would be enjoyed by and affect as many people as it has. I feel in a lot of ways these characters have grown with me and have been a part of some key moments in my life (they gave me something to focus on during a pandemic, for one). I honestly didn't think it would be THEM, they were supposed to be one-off OCs and remain less like characters and more allegorical.

Like they were just "Wolf" and "Red", then after people became interested and invested in them as characters they became "Leikos" and "Scarlett". "Wolf Song" was supposed to be this heavy, sad, allegorical thing - but so many people saw a romantic tragedy, which REALLY concerned me at first but I did come around to the idea eventually. Reworking the concept to be a somewhat dark fantasy romance was how the "Red & Wolf" comic came to be. There's something kind of weirdly healing about taking a sad story from your past self and throwing some fluff in there, idk.

Anyway, I could go on and I have so much more that I can say, but ultimately, I would just like to thank you all for your support and interest throughout the years 💕

It's gonna be bittersweet when I wrap their story up :')
