A Little Seedy

And why did my dumbass see Jacob Seed when that tractor model dude literally looks nothing like him?

Idk, I fixed it.

Jake go vroom, move out of the way dumb doggo

Sat in my car in the rain, in a rural Dollar General parking lot, waiting for YouTube videos to download on my phone because there's no internet at the house and I have to drive a ways to get usable phone signal.

The Dollar General is right next to a weird, newly built church, that's got signs all over the place demanding everyone repent before its too late. They've even got white pickup-trucks they drive around with shit like that in big letters printed on them. Gives me weird vibes, ain't gonna lie, but it did make me start thinkin' about FC5 and inevitably Jacob Seed.

And I somehow ended up with a stupid one shot idea I started typing up in my notes app (completely unrelated to the weird-vibes church I'm currently parked right next to, btw, thats a different idea for a different time!)

May or may not finish it, I dunno.

Also no, I do NOT ship these two characters, its just a terrible idea I had.

But I guess this is kind of ripping the bandaid off of never sharing anything I write publicly 🙃

Minors, do not scroll past the Dollar General sign, please and thank you. 18+ only.

"LOL bitch, be humbled."

Seriously, the goat was such a freaking struggle and my hand is aching. And tbh, I probably should've kept working on it for a bit longer to polish it up, but I was sick of it, lol.

but its a freaking EDEN'S GATE CULT SIMULATOR

(edit: the game is called Join Us)

the reveal trailer apparently came out 8 months ago, which I completely missed and have only just seen:

the second trailer from a few months ago:

and they've posted one of the soundtrack tracks (???) and that's freakin' awesome, too:

They're also doing really well with answering questions in the Steam forums. For example, they've confirmed the map is completely intentional and handcrafted, not procedurally generated!

Anyways, I have no thoughts, only hype.

I am a great candidate if this game wants it's own cult.

I mean, I'm super freaking grateful for this opportunity, my mentor, the other artist in the shop, and everything I'm learning, but tbh... an apprenticeship was not on my bingo card for 2026 😭 and it kind of threw off a lot of my plans.

I wouldn't trade this apprenticeship for anything, but I'm still pretty heartbroken that my fics and my OCs are just sitting stagnant on my PC right now, and I've got quite a lot of unfinished fanart as well.

Maybe one day 💔

Here's a couple of practice skins I've completed recently, done based off of lessons from a course my mentor provided for me: (between these lessons, shadowing and learning in the shop, and practicing every single day, I feel like I'm growing so much)
