I made these for the rpgfan.com Instagram.  A mix of wanting to create a story book feel like the game employs and a mix of the Odin Sphere website assets helped tremendously.

I’m thinking of getting back into blogging. If I’m being honest, I’ve been so ding dang frustrated at doing art for the last couple months. I feel like I can’t really build any sort of audience unless I stick to the same style and subject matter, and that’s always been so hard for me. I like to experiment! Beyond that, I’ve really just felt like reading and playing video games instead of doing anything that requires too much effort, but still need some kind of creative outlet. Blargh. I miss going to cons, and had all sorts of fun workshops and meetups lined up before all the shittery started. In any case, I’m in the mood to WRITE. Let’s start my new blogging adventures off with everyone’s favorite topic, TELEVISION PROGRAMS. What have you been watching lately? I just finished the first season of Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency the other day. Had no clue what the storyline was about before starting (or even a couple episodes in), but ended up really enjoying it! The show definitely reminds me of Doctor Who, but more random and more American. Plus, it features a CORGI, and corgis are IMPORTANT. I quite like the character Bart...it’s amazing how much Fiona Dourif looks like Brad in some of the scenes (necessary information: Brad Dourif is one of my favorite actors of all time. I met him at a con once and he said I could almost be his daughter. LITTLE DID HE KNOW about my giant fangirl crush on him...oh no!). Bart = potential cosplay idea? Maybe maybe! Hmmm what else is up...I’m reading The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown...I realize it’s super cool to hate him, but I find his books highly entertaining. I think there is a TV show about The Lost Symbol in development too, though it won’t be the same without Tom Hanks in the lead role. I still need to read Inferno and Origin too, I’m a little bit BEHIND. Anyone else a fan? Other than that, I’ve still been writing crowdfunding reports for https://www.rpgfan.com/ (PSSST HEY you should visit us if you like VIDEO GAMES!) and playing a few neato things which I’ve been posting screenshots of on my Twitter (@kittensoft39).  Leaving things at that for now, but I’m thinking I may try some of those #StayHomeWriMo challenges, and possibly even write a bit of...FICTION. Eeek! I shall return soon! Toodle oooo!  

I was too proud of it not to share. 

RPGFan are doing their editor picks for 2016 GOTYs and hey what's that at #4 if not a FINE CHOICE!

Tumblr Friends! Are any of you gamers? What are some of your favorites? Currently I’m playing Final Fantasy XIII-2 though I MIGHT start something new after the weekend. I love RPGs and point-and-click adventure games!! PS I write for RPGFan! An awesome site and group of people, check us out online! http://www.rpgfan.com/

"This book is a blueprint for how to preserve a game’s legacy in writing. It navigates thorough accounts of Dragon Age II’s development history and creative process, the social effects of its release and reception, and its impact on a longtime fan who can celebrate its unique achievements while acknowledging its limitations. These are all crucial aspects of a game’s identity and meaning. I don’t think it matters how much you like Dragon Age II. If you want to understand it—fulsomely as an interesting corporate product and artistic work—you need look no further."

Standing at the crossroads between the worlds. Maybe I should make a deal with a demon? 😂 Naaaah I'm good. #rpgfan #gamerproblems (at Downtown Seattle) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7JebBlp0Lb/?igshid=ynwu78q2210a
