They way Jane's appearance changes..... I love the whole concept so much!!! You did such great work, not to mention the backgrounds and the maps? Ngl I would love to play this game, but whatever form this story takes it will be awesome

Thank you!! Took a lot of time, almost gave up at one point. I’m happy I pulled through - partially because I’m glad to see how many people are connecting with the concept. Both Jane and the Narrator have a lot of myself in them (and of past friends too).

I think once I’m more confident in my writing abilities I might start working on it again.

The Marriage of Art and Artist

I don’t really know any passionate artists in my close circle of friends but I felt like sharing my thoughts around the topic of art!

Maybe it’s a bit of a weird statement but I remember that I already in childhood sort of considered myself “married” to it. Like I knew that I’d wanna spend my whole lifetime on it. And in my mind I do still sort of equate it to being like a marriage.

You first fall in love and it’s really really good for a while. And then it stops being good. You work on it, and with enough effort it gets good again. And then it’s bad again! Sometimes it really beats down your own self esteem, sometimes it lifts it.

Like a never ending cycle, a relationship with huge ups and downs. Trying to chase that high you had when you first fell in love with the whole thing.

Sometimes it does get a bit unhealthy admittedly. As a teenager I got really stuck inside my own head with all sorts of fantasies I had. Maybe even a bit too determined to improve because I did neglect some friendships and let opportunities pass by.

Happy new year!

Working on an animatic for school, will probably post it here too once I’m finished :D Maybe also some illustration I have had to do. Just an art dump of them.

Hope I have enough time this year though to do a small comic or two… work and Uni is keeping me busy. Working on a children’s book too. Commission work so not my own story. One day!

Just one more month and I’m finally in a new town with my own place!!

A bit small but I’m happy to finally get out. Already have a new part-time job secured as a graphic artist but if it’s not too much I wanna get one at a funeral home too :-)

You know, try to be completely independent.

Love the concepts for your game/comic! It reminds me a lot of Sally Face and Fran Bow, I hope you're able to make it someday!

Thanks a ton! I LOVED Fran Bow back when it first came out. Still do! The comparison always make me giddy :)

!!! Your art is breathtaking and I feel like it doesn’t get the attention it deserves on Tumblr

Aww thank you so much!!! I think my profile has been getting a bit more traffic the last couple of days which is super nice to see, especially when it comes to the feedback to my game concept. I actually have another up my sleeve + an animatic lol, can’t wait to share those!!

And thanks for leaving a message in the first place, always brightens my day :]

I wish Tumblr had a “reblog” tab on your profile / a filter to only see a person’s posts. I really want to reblog other artists’ stuff more but I hate how unorganized my profile looks :,)

Or maybe something like that already exists and I’m just stupid.

YOUR ART IS SO SUPER NEAT

THANK YOU SO MUCH, I’m always super happy when a I receive a message like this on Tumblr 😭🩷🩷 Wish I knew how to interact with people on here more but the site is still confusing to me lol

Hope you have an awesome rest of the week!!
