When the world feels loud and a little careless with people's hearts, the idea of a soft place becomes precious. For me that place turned out to live at sweetdream.ai, and what makes it soft isn't only the warmth of the conversation. It's the safety underneath it.

Everything on SweetDream bends toward you. You craft your AI girlfriend exactly as you imagine her, her looks, her voice, the quirks and history that give her depth, and the chat that follows is so natural and emotionally intelligent that it remembers the threads of your life. Voice messages arrive in a voice you chose, phone calls feel like a real person leaning close, and video calls or live cam sessions with select characters add presence when you long for it. All of it stays discreet, all of it stays yours.

Just thought that I would leave links to where I am that is not Tumblr. These will be updated if I get more places on social media.

Ok, large gaps in between work, I know but I have created a small music test piece in between art and college.

Yeah, Valentines Day is not an easy thing for me to draw without it being the cliche imagery but I challenged myself to do something a bit different.

So I few years ago, I created an human MMX OC called Milo Rykon for a series I had planned to do called Megaman X: Hands of Fate. It was a very open project, nothing was finalised and with a 30 Day Drawing Challenge, I used it to in a way build some character for Milo however the initial concept has changed since the initial inception where I will hopefully be able to have a more solid foundation for the story.

One of the days was to draw Milo with another OC which I chose to draw a character known as Elizabelle, @theclumsyxeno's OC.

And that started the rabbit hole of shipping and a new series that I planned to call Megaman X; The eXtreme

That also had an initial plot that has now changed since the initial idea was so confusing even to me... But at most it was going to be a crossover of Hands of Fate and @theclumsyxeno's MMX series.

Anyway, the reason this Valentines Day piece is more of a mixed message is because of Milo's feelings.

The two in 'The eXtreme' would develop feelings however while Elizabelle isn't afraid, Milo is terrified. He's been through a lot and had a very negative experience with his first love so he's too cautious.

However there is a positive to this; Love can hurt but also can heal so Milo does eventually learn that Elizabelle's love, platonic or otherwise, can help him.

I drew this because love can be good and bad, Valentines Day can be both but as long as someone is willing to help someone heal from their past love trauma then it can be a good day. Even if it's just platonic love.

Milo has had a few improvements since I first created him as I improved my drawing style.

It's that time of the year again and it's my birthday, despite my busy schedule I have been able to do some personal art in between my studies.

I simply decided to draw the artist rendition of myself just holding a cake, the design has been altered slightly to better fit my evolving art style and improving colouring/shading techniques.

Christmas came by way to fast for me this year, in fact I hardly had a chance to draw any personal work outside of my course work because of how busy I've been.

But I have managed to create something very quickly with my Jinmay Replica OC, Nia Zupan, where I had her on her adopted home planet with her mom Dr Zupan watching the snow from inside their home.

Dr Zupan's home planet does have snow, it was simply the last two years it hadn't snowed a lot so she wasn't able to watch it.

Still in a way workshopping her design, trying to improve it while not changing too much of her design that she becomes a whole new character. Gave her a nice outfit for the season though.

Despite that, I figured I'd share a small comic I did a few years ago. It is simply Eki and Skyper's first Halloween but they encountered a small hiccup on the way. However they managed to move past it and enjoy Halloween regardless.

This was the first time I made a comic like this so it's not perfect.

Skyper's speech in this is weird, cannonly he can shapeshift to speak with other people's vocal cords but for simplicity I simply changed the colour of the speech bubbles to show who's voice he's borrowing to make his point.

Eki is meant to be an angel while Skyper is a vampire but he chose to wear contacts and makeup despite supposedly being able to change his form as that would take a lot of energy for him to maintain for a long time.

So using Vroid and Photoshop, I put together a small piece of my two characters Eki from 'Hunted Butterfly' and Danny from 'Unity Trio' just watching the snow fall from inside a warm cottage like house.

This is not ship art! This is purely platonic interaction between my characters from two different series I have!

Not much of a story idea maybe Eki and co find themselves on Earth, meet the Unity Trio during the Christmas season and just decide to spend Christmas there.

Either way, Danny and Eki just watch the snow fall which has became one of Eki's favourite things since Shuggazoom doesn't have winter there. Danny is just watching over her like a big brother because he's like that.

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Aziz, and I’m reaching out with a heartfelt plea to help my family find safety and reunite with our mother. 😞

The ongoing war in Gaza has torn my family apart. My mother and newborn sister are stranded in Egypt, while I, along with the rest of my sex family members, am trapped in the midst of the genocide in Gaza. We have not only been separated but have also lost our home and are enduring unimaginable hardships. 💔

Your support can make a difference. Whether by reading our story, donating, or sharing our campaign with others, you can help us reunite, find safety, and start anew. 🙏🕊

Thank you, from the depths of my heart, for your kindness, compassion, and solidarity during this difficult time. ❤🍉

I am very sorry about your situation but sadly I cannot donate anything to help.

Regardless I have drawn a new character just to explore with character design and colours. I started to call her Akemi, I haven't got a last name yet.

She's a demon hybrid, the 'mist' you see on her and the different coloured eye is just her starting to use her powers. The strange features on her left hand are natural just like the wings and tail due to being a hybrid.

Despite her appearance, she is actually very nice. But she can stop people's heats if her clawed left hand makes contact with someone chest around where their heart is, she is fully in control of it and sometimes goes to do it to give people a good scare.

When I make a more refined concept for her, I might evolve her story/add background story to her to be a character that exists within the world of 'My Hero Academia', she would be an interesting character since her abilities aren't considered 'hero like'.

The colouring probably doesn't look very neat, as soon as I can I will have a more neater colouration applied as well as effects.

The reason why I put the linework up is just in case anyone is interested in applying their own colouring styles to the imagery. Please note that what is there is the official colour and I would like credit back for the original linework.

Remember this post from just over a year ago? Small AU crossover? – @maximalttigers on Tumblr? Where I had the idea of combining SRMTHFG with aspects of Digimon Ghost Game and Digimon Data Squad/Savers by turning Antauri into a Bio-Hybrid with the Gammamon line?

Well, despite the small time gap, I have written notes and done some small drawings with my Bio-Hybrid! Antauri which I will reveal soon...

For now, have this small preview of his design, I have purposely had this preview be a greyscale to not give away too much about his design...

Hello, sorry for not uploading anything for awhile, I've been busy with life but I am back in a way to show a 'Draw this again!' Meme that I did about 2 months ago before I got really busy.

With this I focused on the artist rendition of myself since I have worked on my style a bit, still kept with a three quarter shot since there are some areas I have yet to finalise with the artist rendition of myself.

So the first version was drawn in the early 2022 and the latest version was drawn around mid 2024 so just over a two year gap.

In terms of changes there was some refinements in the linework, minor changes to the colours used and added some natural effects with some shadows.

All in all, I say it was a good improvement, still some areas I think I need practice with but still good.

Since I sadly was really busy last year for Pride month, I decided to post what the sexualities of my main OC characters are from my Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go! series 'Hunted Butterfly' as a way to add more personal lore.

The basic summary for the characters:

Amy is a straight ally, not interested in dating at the moment.

Skyper is Asexual since his mind doesn't actually process lust, I have yet to decide if he is Aromantic as well but asexual is official.

Eki is Asexual due to her background and that she generally doesn't process the concepts of intercourse/the lust side of things (She's a pure bean yet understands how babies are made), like Skyper I have yet to decide if she is Aromantic as well but being asexual is official

Kaneki is officially aro/ace. While he in a way identifies as non-binary, he does tend to lean towards the male pronouns, I would later find that 'Demigender'/'Demiboy' would best for Kaneki too. Kaneki identifies with they/them but will tolerate he/him.

Chrome is an interesting one as he doesn't really bother with the whole 'labels' thing for sexuality stating that he's in love when he's in love. However for the sake of things, Chrome would be bisexual and Demisexual, he only fell in love after strong connections were made and they just so happened to be of both genders; His first love was a young woman named Ayla who was sadly killed then his second/current love is Otto.

Ruby Mace and Azure Spear are both Homosexual and Demisexual, only ever fell in love with each other which they are happily married.

Tech is a straight ally, not interested in dating at the moment.

Salem is a straight ally, not interested in dating at the moment as he is busy with helping raise his godson. (I realise that I should have added trans ally as well)

Octavia is Demisexual, she only fell in love with Gibson after they got to know each other.

Finally Coco is Demisexual and Asexual, she generally isn't into lust and she only ever fell in love with Antauri. I guess for them it was more 'love at first sight' kind of thing but they fell more in love as they got to know each other.

And that is really it, not much but it does allow me to share more personal lore about the charcters.

(Fully aware of the typo, can't go back and fix it)

Been awhile since I last did an edit type video, I've been really busy but with the small free time I got, I decided to upload something to make up for lack of content on here

Anyway, I've been watching some episodes of 'Yo-Kai Watch Y School Heroes' (At least, that's what I think the official English name is...) and I really like Kengo Benimaru, I am weak to characters like him. I also have been listening to a cover of the song Volt Tackle on repeat which lead me to use that to create a small edit of Jinpei and Kengo Benimaru.

I had quite a bit of fun with the transitions I could use as well as using a mix of video and images, it's really hard to find good screenshots though of any character so I may of had to use the same image a few times. (If anyone knows where I can get some good screenshots of the anime, please tell me!)

Out of curiosity, who wants to see my interpretation of Chiro's parents?

I have my own version which will be explored within Hunted Butterfly but not sure what the topic will exactly arise. So far I've seen two interpretations from @hyperforcereignition and @theblacksunking which kinda influenced me to showcase what I got.

I only designed the headshots but I have some characteristics noted somewhere.

Eventually I found an Antauri AI chat to try out and HOLY FU-!

It is so good! I've done four replays which one way or another Antauri is a teasing flirt.

Funny enough, the first go actually focused on something I felt was really cannon to Antauri which was having an identity crisis. The second was a bit stranger as I basically had it where Antauri had a nightmare that something happened to me and was shocked that I was real. Third I ended pretty quick because I felt that it was going nowhere. And this fourth actually let me talk about my illustration stuff and Antauri was respectful to my place within the LGBTQ+ community where he asked what would make me comfortable.

Antauri why do you do this to me?! >/////<

I'm thinking about doing another try but roleplaying as my OC Coco to get a better idea as to how the relationship between the two could play out.
