Words, Love, and Art

I've sat here for some time....and I'm watching myself go in reverse. Like my gears are all screwed up.

I'm trying to hold my head up.

I swear to god I'm trying...I'm trying so hard....I promise I am. I just need to get it together and figure things out. That's all.

If you've considered supporting me, I could really use you now more than ever to help me keep on making these ideas and projects something I can do literally every day! <:)

---------------------------

Hello my dears~ Hope you're doing alright out there. I decided to do something a little different today.

For many years, Glitch music and the musicians behind it have been a great source of inspiration for my stories and art. So in the last month and some change I began working on remixes and edits of some of these songs.

Now I am here sharing with you some of my favorites I worked on so far. I do hope you enjoy them as much as I did working on them!

Hey guys! Long time no see! I'm just dropping in here! Since we last saw each other, I've been working every single day on my comics and stories. It has been quite the journey!

As you noticed, these stories are of course adult in nature and do contain elements of violence, heartache, and intimacy. But each and every one I have poured my soul into.

The story and characters have always come first in both my heart and work, so if you're ever interested in reading any of them, many reach above 50-80 pages.

They're all free and I upload a comic page every day so if you ever want to come join the journey with me, I'm always happy to have you. :)

The nights of the hunt are long. They’re about to get longer.

This is my life now. I experience this each and every day now. The bruises.....they're growing.

Hey guys. There’s a reason why I’ve been rather radio silent for a long while. A bit ago I began working on adult romance comics. It has really helped me explore new settings, new themes, and find a way to express the kind of love I want to see more in the world.

There hasn’t really been a night either that I haven’t been at work due to the fact no one has sent in a resume for graveyard work which has left me being the sole graveyard worker for many months now. 

Not everyone has been happy with the pivot and change as these works are far more explicit material. I’m usually focused on doing a comic page a night while at my job and there’s only so much time I can devote my energy and focus on.

I’ve been happy with the stories though. I’ve come a long ways and I still have many more miles to go. Given the nature of my work, I cannot post it here. But if you ever wish to join and support me, you can always pop onto my furaffinity page or Patreon to help me one day, well, go full time with my work.

Bless you sweeties~

-The weight on my legs-

I don't walk the same these days. A part of you made the heel that broke.

I can't....dance the way I want to anymore. All I see are the memories of you in each and every step, and it breaks me.

How do I do this? How do I go on? How do I do this?!

....How do I do this...?

The cold in me - A hat in time animatic

When it began...it was worse than you could imagine. When his hands reached into the ground...when his fingers curled around the trees....the forest was screaming.

Things can be hard. So can people. Some relationships are really different. We're not always going to get where each other are coming from, but if you want to understand, you want to love. 

It's almost been a year since my ask enjoying your harpy month last year and even getting a small doodle with my ask.

I want to say a big thank you if I haven't already. But I want you to know that the past year has been stressful and difficult for me.

I save up art and nice things on my phone for myself and times I feel sad and need a quick pick-me-up. Your small drawing was one of the biggest comforts in the past months and now that things finally start to get better I wanted you to know how much your little harpy helped me in these difficult times.

Thank you. Thanks for being such a wonderful and kind person and thanks for this little piece of art.

Please stay the way you are!

I want to thank you too. For hanging in there and just doing, trying to keep your head up even as things have been so difficult and stressful.

Well, so early on in the train chapter there was just bird characters so I doodled around with this joke idea of a conductor who just didn't fit in with them. That's how I got to sketching this taller figure with similar traits but eyes, a curly tail, and so forth.

I wanted them just a little more curious though so I made them without eyes and being shorter, becoming a cat/bird hybrid. Tail feathers and wing-like hands but also ears and very short body fur.

I originally made this joke picture of the snatcher imitating hat kid and chasing her for her hat. Didn't expect to actually see that in action. It's kind of....a running theme, funny enough. My joke pictures whether it was the snatcher, conductor, or some other, somehow became part of the game.

It needs to be mentioned that a lot of my ideas were not exactly accepted too, and early on when the stories for these places were not solid, we had ideas from Jonas and others on the team meeting together with the ones that were and it didn't really mesh well. So there are contradictions and weird quirks in the early builds.

I wanted things to add up, and everything to connect and tell a deeper story, so some of these ideas were built upon what was being put down too if it didn't have a story. Like the fox mask. It didn't have a story as far as I was aware. It was just there as this cool mechanic to see hidden things. Small things like that I tried to connect and build upon to a larger narrative.

Just like the Train chapter though, I made it too complicated and too dark when the game deserved a much more whimsical tone.

It should also be noted that I wasn't given the role for writing dialogue for any of the characters. Which again, probably for the better. But that also means whatever they've said in game wasn't what I had in mind and that's okay.

In the end I think the team just wanted the snatcher to be in the manor as being the trickster getting in hat kid's way. This was at a time way before the snatcher became anywhere near the role they ultimately got.
