oya

a dragon & cowboy's tumblr.

Hii, I'm oyasumikade (but my other names include : oya, kade, oyasumi, or kaedan). i'm an artist with adhd + aphantasia. if you don't know what aphantasia is, it's a condition where you can't imagine/visualize things very well or at all. this makes being an artist incredibly difficult for me, but I'm trying my best to keep creating despite it!

tags : #oyappery - me just talking. nothing too important really. #oyasksumi - any sort of asks & replies! #oyartsumi - all my art, either personal, fanart, or trades i've done

#atsa / #as the stars align - my fantasy visual novel! you play as a librarian and get to date the cute professors!! #killcode - my murder mystery/cyberpunk vn! you play as a detective who gets assigned to a serial murder case alongside two ex-criminals. #sodashack.blend - a cute 3d game im working on! you make sodas/snacks and hangout with customers as they come in. i added .blend at the end because i thought it would be funny since like smoothies and sodas and like the whole thing of it being made in blender and and... ill shut up now im sorry.

so if you've been here a minute, you know that my online shops for art are called 'oyasumi cafe' right? like a play on oyasumikade or something but also because i love coffee and i've worked as a barista since i was 13/14.

WELL!! Last night i decided to sit down and officially make my art shop a mascot! This is Yu-Me and he's a robot that's kind of a mix of technozen and solar punk. (I LOVE SOLAR PUNK.)

two blue horned guys hanging out. >:D sillie on the left is mine and sillie on the right is @fatumfate's

AAND THIS IS THE LAST SCENE I MEAN IT.

night two of artfight. GO MY APOCALYPSE LESBIANS GO!!!

The character on the left is Sunshu which was designed by my BEST FRIEND MY LITERAL TWIN MY POOKIE amyriotofficial, and then i actually designed the other one, Natasha. Then Amy adopted her so Natasha and Sunshu could be girlfriends.

but i work faster.

okay so to preface this. I am an average guy working at a gas station during evenings/nights, and said gas station is in the middle of nowhere. Think of literally every indie horror game ever and boom, you've got it.

The other day, I'm going about my normal tasks. Refilling ice in the drink machine, restocking the drink cooler, sweeping and mopping, the usual. Then I go to take out the garbage. I get all the bags from inside (about four) and go to throw them in the dumpster when I hear this guy go, "Ooh! Puppy!"

I love animals. So much. So obviously I throw my bags in the dumpster real fast and look around for the dog. But there's no dog??? I'm like "Huh. That's weird. Maybe he was watching a video."

Anyways, I head to go get the trash from the outside trash cans and I hear him again go "OOOH PUPPYY!"

Well I'm so confused now. So I look up, only to see him staring directly at me. And he goes "Oohhh, puppy...." again. This old man has dirty caked on his face, his clothes have food grease stains and a hole in the leg of his pants to give you an idea of his appearance. And he's just starin'.

Now if you're like "Kade, maybe he was saying ooh puppy because you were wearing like-" I was wearing a black tshirt. And a pair of super baggy black pants. and my boots. NOTHING DOG RELATED. I told someone this story and they were like 'oh are you one of those people that wear the chokers that look like collars-' NO DUDE. THIS OLD MAN JUST STARTED SAYING OR CALLING ME A PUPPY WHEN I LOOKED LIKE JOHN GASSTATION????

so obviously, I VERY QUICKLY went back inside. And he just stood outside for another two minutes, staring at the glass door, before he turned, got in his truck and left. Sometimes I worry he's gonna show back up and continue with saying oo puppy...
