Hi Hi!

I just remembered to do an Introduction! Hello to you all! I go by Divine/Zaku(Interchangeable!) and I am a nonbinary artist (pronouns are they/them!) currently studying Illustration with an emphasis on concept art! Currently I am working on my project called Sunshine Avenue!

It is a psychological horror story planned to be told through a website archiving an early 1960s puppet show that began airing in Western United States only to become lost media in the 1980s. We follow our main guy Prim as he navigates his grandfathers attic to find more media of this lost puppet show turned Illustrated book series! I hope to share the website with you all very soon but in the mean time, I will mainly be doing my ramblings here on Tumblr!

Hello all! I don’t usually like posting about my struggles— but recently I’ve decided it would be best to start a Patreon. I have a smaller audience here therefore I feel like I could be more open and honest about why I started it.

To make a long story short, I am behind on my college payments and the family member who helped me the most with those (my mom) recently got terminated from her workplace unlawfully. Thankfully, we don’t have to worry much about rent and bills due to my dad and brothers having enough to pay them. I have been looking for a second job for a while now, but I’ve gotten no call-backs and the ones I have gotten never got past the interview. I’ve been looking for a second job simply due to the fact that I didn’t like how my mom had to step in and help me with my finances. It’s not that I don’t appreciate it, I appreciate it heavily, I just wish she didn’t have to step in and help me stay caught up.

I rambled a lot, I apologize. Things have been…rough lately. Almost all of my paycheck goes towards my college and it still isn’t enough. I’m going to continue looking for jobs but in the mean time I hope to at least get a bit of support through Patreon.

Of course, I will be offering services through my Patreon such as discounted commissions, early access to art, etc.

I would appreciate it if I got some support, but of course it’s not mandatory! My commissions are still open for everyone and I will still be showing art on my socials, my Patrons just get early access and discounted prices for $3/month(or even just once!)

Anyway! Sorry for the sad post, I felt like while I look for a second job this could help me as well. Sharing around helps too!

I wanted to try a different style! This was very fun to learn…Lorelai is such a goober in this style, I love them very much.

Happy Pride Month!

I was hoping to finish this before the 1st but it’s okay! Make sure to spread love this month, especially to trans folk and remember to protect us especially. This year has been rough, but we should be louder this month and celebrate ourselves more than ever.

Wooo summer!

I’m slowly trying to get back into drawing my characters…school has been taking up most of my time and it’s burnt me out! But I’m still trying my best to continue this project because I love this cast of characters so much and I want their stories to be told. Anyway! Off to put my head in a freezer! It’s so hot here..

Happy Sprin— oh, wait…*flips through calendar*…awkward..

Hello! I just wanted to pop back in to say thank you all for joining us for our Q&A both last weekend and on Sunday! It was a lot of fun and although we couldn't get to all of you, your sentiments were so kind and I'm so happy you were eager to know so much about this home! This week will be our final week for the Welcome Home Web Shop ( https://welcomehome.shop/ ) as it will close on May 10th at 11:59 PM PST! So mind my occasional push this week as I share gifs and photos promoting these little guys a little further before I disappear! Thank you all so much again!

One more day left before we close the Welcome Home Web Shop! Enjoy some of the last few images before tomorrow's last promotion!

I have been slowly tweaking the designs of all the Sunshine Avenue characters as I work on a piece for the website. I’m so indecisive! I’ve made changes on Nurse Nursely and Doctor Doctorlys designs because I felt some of their colors were clashing. And then! Doctor Doctorlys antennas looked too similar to a certain caterpillar from a different puppet project..(*cough* *cough*) so I changed them closer to his original concept design. Hopefully I go through Sonny, Magnolia, and Swirl without many changes!

My cat chewed through my mouse wire...AGAIN!! I was very frustrated. I cannot trust her with my mouse...s...mice? Anyway, I have a bluetooth mouse now...I hope she doesn't chew through my keyboard wire...Then I would be very upset.

Silly thing because I became obsessed with Epic the musical and am currently reading the Odyssey! In between official works of Sunshine Avenue...

I’m in the middle of watching part 2 to NightMinds reaction of the Welcome Home update and hearing him along with the Welcome Home crew encourage others to pursue their dreams is so encouraging. As I’m towards the end of getting ready for launching my own project I’m getting slightly discouraged…nothing too bad! I just have so many ideas it gets overwhelming. But there’s something about their words that really sticks with me. It’s also great that as I listen I’m actively working on new art for my website. It fills me with…determination!(Undertale reference) haha, but It is very encouraging and it makes me want to three times as hard now!!!
